Meet the Conchords

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement have arrived in America. And not a moment too soon.

Frankly, after six seasons of murder and mayhem and every kind of treachery under the sun, we're ready for a little comic relief.

The Flight of the Conchords takes over for Sopranos, premiering June 17 after Entourage. However, the entire first episode is already available on the HBO website.

Maybe it's their accents or their perfect deadpan delivery, but you've got to love the chemistry between Bret and Jemaine, a digi-folk comedy duo from New Zealand.

They're lovable losers, though, losers seems a bit harsh. Think of them as the anti-Entourage. They have a fan base of one and she's a wack-job.

But we can relate a lot better with Bret and Jemaine than we can with Vincent Chase. Don't get us wrong, we loved Vince and the boys when they were bright-eyed newcomers to the Hollywood snake pit. But these days, things come too easy for them.

Not so with Bret and Jemaine.

Jemaine: Here, though, I don't seem to get with any women. I just talk about getting with women.

Bret: Yeah but the ones you talk about are hot. They're a lot hotter than the ones you got with in New Zealand.
