Since I saw the trailer for "What we do in the Shadows", I'm finally catching up with the Conchords stuff. Their Kiwi, dry wit is just brilliant. Helping me though a really tough time in my life. Feels so good to laugh
Tom C Not everyone is like you, or can do things in life like you. Maybe sharing it will help. If your gonna be a hate filled person that shits on everyone. Keep that on yourself and not pull everyone else with you because some people do care.
I saw this in 2005, and several times a year since that moment I out of nowhere state that "When I'm down to just my socks, it's time for business , that's why they're called business socks!'. I hope i can find someone who can live with that 😅
This is the worst thing I’ve ever watched. I can’t stand flight of the concords and not even I would dislike this. It takes a real A-hole to dislike a vid. This is what I get for searching “business and time mgmt improvement” this show and this act not my thing but they put in effort and work and others find it funny. Can’t dislike that.
Words can't even begin to describe my love for these two guys. They are unbelievably talented and clever. And I'm so glad I have this comedy special on DVD, it's hilarious and an absolute classic from start to finish.
10 years ago... And I remember when my little sister and I saw these videos in our teens and learned almost every song by heart. Still know most of it!
The Conchords make funny parody songs with the highest level of quality of music. They do every genre justice while parodying it. They make fun of the lame reality of the average sex life while playing a funky song. It's really genius stuff.
I’ve watched this over a thousand times and that bit when they both look at each other to hit the beat at the same time is just magical. More people should love this band and watch the show. The world would be a better place xx
I watch this a few times a year, and it is just as fresh and new each time! Good music and humor never go out of style. I laff my butt off each time I watch this!
I've been wearing "Its business time" socks for twenty years now, Without realizing where Defeet got the idea for these. One of my customers at San Antonio MS150 bike ride told me what they mean. This is great. The cuff reads "its business time" the bottom of the sock (sole) reads " when I'm down to my socks, you know what time it is"
I saw this in "health class" during my sophomore year of HS and that was 2009. Still listening in 2021 and now a big fan of the TV show "What We Do In The Shadows". Thank you Jermaine Clement!
That DVD you kept and can’t part w/bc you love it so much and rewatch it in your basement bc your kids think you’re old and boring; well, that’s me and “Flight of the Conchords.” There are days, maybe even weeks of my life I will never get back, and I love every minute of it too. 😊
Two Minutes in Heaven is better than one minute in heaven! I just got my dose of hilarity getting down to business for the ten thousandth time. Seriously could a song be more funny, true to life and hilarious than this? I frigging doubt it...
An orbital rocket was just launched from New Zealand. It was the third flight, the first was called "It's a test", that launch failed. The follow up launch "Still Testing" was a complete success though. So you know what that means. They were ready to take customers. The third launch was called "It's Business Time".
I remember when i was 14. I recorded this with the tivo device. It was 2004. I watched this episode of one night stand the first time it aired! I remember thinking this was hilarious
Everything about this is amazing! The facial expressions with the spoken word parts are hilarious! I especially love the "makin' love, makin' love for twoo, makin' love for twooo minutes" has me laughing everytime!
First heard this song before my first "Business Time". Came back to this tonight, many years of doing the "Business Time". Can confirm: it goes down like this every time - especially the sexy dance moment.
I first saw this song when I was a kid. And now I'm a 30 year old man and I do believe sorting out the recycling is still very important to the foreplay.
This performance is still, by far, the best version to date.
agreed
Honestly all of there live versions are the best imo.
I almost always prefer studio version to live performances of music. Anything by Flight of the Conchords is an exception
Amen
Yes the very best. Accidentally stumbled upon a newer version and was like, wtf is THIS? lol
'The conditions are perfect' That lyric has always entered my head whenever I encounter a mood-setting moment.
Every time I put on socks I think these are my business socks. Every. Time.
That's the line that came to my mind from other context and I had to come and re-listen this gem of a song once more just now.
Because it's Wednesday
I'm here after saying this today about a hurricane 🌀 😂
AMEN
"Then you go sort out the recycling, that's not part of it but its still important". Had me dead.
VERY important, mind you.
"Well, I'm not surprised... but I'm quite sleepy." Hahahaha! Brilliant writing and execution.
Makes me laugh so hard every time.
"....and that's why they're called BUSINESS SOCKS."
2 of the funniest men to ever strap on guitars & compose gut-bustingly hysterical parody songs. They are the greatest.
Well! they were, after all, the fourth most popular folk parody duos in New Zealand.
the third most popular is Like of the Conchords, they're a tribute band but slightly more popular@@alexanderSydneyOz
The fact I watched this as a new video in college, and just saw "18 years ago" on the video age has left me feeling some kind of way.
This gem just never gets old. Seriously hard to sing/talk and play in beat + improvising.
I see you on every FOTC video, and I love you.
Meatrocket I revisit FoTC videos on YT on a monthly basis really. Can't help it...one video leads to another.
Nah. It's the same things they did in the show. Just live versions.
they have a base idea then improvise parts on the live shows.
Jenny was fully improvised and that was incredible :P
that's actually a little more impressive tbh, the fact that they're so in character and re-hearsed enough that it feels like an improvisation is really cool
had been trying to get my girl pregnant for some time and no success. played this ONCE and got her pregnant that night.
BOOM!
+Ryder Knightly Congratulations?
+Ryder Knightly Because she cheated on you the day after ;)
Sam Ryland sounds like projecting buddy.
+Ryder Knightly doing it on wednesdays is the trick
you know it was actually a weds. you might have something there bro
I can no longer do it on a Wednesday for fear of thinking of this song and laughing.
Same, but i can't do it any day for fear of laughing XD...and because no one wants to do it with me...but if they did! Hellooooo!!!!
I miss the 2000's like I miss the 90's. I wanna live forever.

I am from New Zealand. I used to think our humour was stupid. Then I found Flight of the Concords.
They're so unique. They blend so many types of comedy.
@@Captain_Neckbeard .. yes we do get all these overseas influences being so small. Whimsy is the NZ sense of humour. Think it is the Irish in many of us... Delia. Morris
Jemaine has said New Zealanders are the toughest audience 😂 Maybe y'all don't like your own humour because you're just _that_ hard to please 🤣
Yep you were previously wrong
Conditions are perfect...
LOL Yes, the conditions are perfect! >.
and the only "conditions" was nothing on tv... hilarious stuff
Kowalski analysis!
😂😂😂
I'm listening to this on a Wednesday evening. I think that means it's business time.
dashippy Awww yeah...
dashippy ahhhhhhahahahahahaha..#businessSOX#
Sameee
Go easy on your hand
God... it's Wednesday...
It’s 2020 and still time for business
Of course it is. There's nothing good on TV.....conditions are perfect.
@@tylermarshall6180 🤣

Aaaahhhh yyeeeaaahhhhhh
It's ALWAYS time for business

Tad Leger TOXIK :)
Tad Leger Awesome aren't they? I absolutely love them. Hope things improve, peace.
Tad Leger Hang in there. It gets better. You can't have good times without bad times.
Tad Leger no one cares, we all have problems, get over it and stop telling strangers about it

I just watched Jemaine's vampire movie What We Do in the Shadows. UNBELIEVABLY HILARIOUS.
Funniest film I've ever seen
I agree... It was perfection...
"Hey, we're werewolves, not swearwolves!"
Love that movie
The movie is just brilliant
16 years on and my (now) wife and I still sing this at each other 😂
Winning 😂
I have been thinking about this video alot lately had to come back and watch it. Still hilarious lol
"business hours are ovah, bayybay."
Same, we still say, it’s Wednesday, conditions are perfect. 😅
Singing 'AT' each other - not 'to', just 'AT'!
I vote this as the first video we share with alien civilizations
that "business socks" line nearly killed me the first time i heard it :D
OMG Me, too! LMAO!!!! When he said it's business socks, I always die! LOL!!! >.
I can't see business socks now without laughing.
Same
You know what it means when im down to just my socks it busines time thats why they call em business socks
same lmfao!
I go through all FOTC clips at LEAST once every year - they NEVER get old! Jemaine Clement and Brett McKenzie are friggin #COMEDY #GENIUS
Yes! Haha! Love this
I go through them once a day.
Jan 2015 - STILL funny as a mofo!! Love these guys. Jemaine's my #CelebrityCrush lol ;)
2 minutes in heaven is better than 1 minute in heaven....
Well... Can't argue with that hahaha.
"Once I'm down to just my socks, you know it's business time". My new employer disagrees.
Did you explain that it’s why they call them business socks?
"2 minutes in heaven is better than 1 minute in heaven..." LMFAO.
lol
Did they write that? I thought they were one trick ponies after Party Rock
😂😂😂 totally made sense. 😅
Who is LMFAO?
This hits different now as an adult.
Oh man these guys are giving us the business.
steaksauce androb I know this is two months old, but I really wish I could upvote this comment like a million times xD
FencechildLLG wow. When I looked at your comment it was four months old. HEY PERSON TWO MONTHS FROM NOW WHO'S SAYING MINE IS TWO MONTHS OLD! HELLO!
HI HELLO! We meet again >_>
FencechildLLG Can i join in
They can give you the business but ive got my own business to take care of
First funky dance ( after our slow dance ) at my wedding! SO good! Flight of the Conchords soundtrack was our falling in love album!
After all these years, this is still golden.
It really is 🏆
A very much deserved 30million views. Bret and Jermaine are hilarious!
I think about 15 million of that is me watching it over and over!
Jemaine*
I saw this in 2005, and several times a year since that moment I out of nowhere state that "When I'm down to just my socks, it's time for business , that's why they're called business socks!'.
I hope i can find someone who can live with that 😅
Best version by far...they hit every bit of this song perfect...I guess I shouldn't be surprised...it's "Business Time"😂😂😂
This never gets old. I first learned of this song from a Marriage Conference a few years back. I've been a fan ever since.
a marriage conference?!
@@djrobincooper I'm guessing it's a great funny example of bad sex and lack of communication in a marriage
I’ve also heard this song in a marriage group when we go through sexual intimacy! Haha
to this day I can still shout 'team building exercise 99~~' and my pals still understand. love it.
Isn't it "Team building exercise not tonight"?
"I remove my jeans, but trip over them because I still have my shoes on, but turn it into a sexy dance"
I have been watching this video every wednesday since 2006
Everyday is Wednesday.
Same...
Anyone coming back to this in 2023? Just an incredible song.
Probably still 2024 also 🎉too!!!
I'm introducing it to some Gen Z friends and they are loving it haha
This is a timeless classic.
One of the greatest songs ever written lol how could you NOT like this? absolutely brilliant and funny
11 years later and business hours still aren't over..
How this video can get 2 thousand dislikes is beyond me! They are hilarious and beyond talented! People need to lighten up!
Lol, they never got business time!
@@spawnlordgaming7826 they only spend 1 minute in heaven.
Well it's pretty sexist tbh
@@tosgem erm, how? 😂

I NEVER get tired of watching this and giggling.....!! :-) Business socks never gets old!
I watched this video when it was new. It feels like yesterday. Yes, I have become one of those old people I thought I would never become
Love playing this song. Played it at an open mic night, went down a treat.
10 years ago... And I remember when my little sister and I saw these videos in our teens and learned almost every song by heart. Still know most of it!
One of the best live musical performances of all time.
15 years ago this song was great. Now we say "this song slaps". Ahh how times have changed. This song has withstood 15 years and still gets me.
you dont have to talk like an idiot just because everybody else does, you know...
Ah man... Flight of the Conchords are just fantastic.
2015, and it's still time for business.
2016, still time for business
+Joel F 2017, still time for business
Business never sleeps my friend.
Every time is time for buisness.
2017
I rewatch this about every year or so - tickles me every time.
2023, still my 4 minutes of happiness & sheer laughter ❤
Loving that funky guitar sound. I just keep listening to it
Memories of a time I dearly miss...
Thank you for sharing your sparkle, your joy, your love, your laughter.
Buying tickets to see these guys live was one of the best decisions I ever made.
The Conchords make funny parody songs with the highest level of quality of music. They do every genre justice while parodying it. They make fun of the lame reality of the average sex life while playing a funky song. It's really genius stuff.
If average is the woman not having an orgasm, then I don't think this world is doing too well.
This song is a goddamn classic :D
The delivery is everything! that's why this is still a gem in 2024 (almost 25)
man they were really young. i can remember doing WoW dailies in BC while listening to them
I’ve watched this over a thousand times and that bit when they both look at each other to hit the beat at the same time is just magical. More people should love this band and watch the show. The world would be a better place xx

Makin love,makin love for two minutes....this is my favorite comedy act ever and im old 😂
You can never have enough of this song.. doesn't matter which year it is !
I saw this in "health class" during my sophomore year of HS and that was 2009. Still listening in 2021 and now a big fan of the TV show "What We Do In The Shadows". Thank you Jermaine Clement!
It's still business time in 2023. Ooooh yeah baby 🤱 🎉
Wow 10 years already? I always have this song stuck in my head, So good!!

Sometimes I'm so disappointed that I can only like a video once...
That DVD you kept and can’t part w/bc you love it so much and rewatch it in your basement bc your kids think you’re old and boring; well, that’s me and “Flight of the Conchords.” There are days, maybe even weeks of my life I will never get back, and I love every minute of it too. 😊
Damn they just delivered such a good story , can't find duos like them anymore.
I love them doing their songs live!
My mom, who recently passed away, loved this song.
You rock FOTC, make a new album!
I wish I could hear this for the first time over and over.
I was listening to a Rhett and link short on RUclips and they were talking about this song.. I'd forgotten about this gem.. Had to come listen 😂
Two Minutes in Heaven is better than one minute in heaven! I just got my dose of hilarity getting down to business for the ten thousandth time. Seriously could a song be more funny, true to life and hilarious than this? I frigging doubt it...

seriously.. how many comedy acts can create a sketch/song that has you giggling every 2nd line. Jamaine and Bret are comical geniuses!
It's brilliant ♥️
After all this year's it still hits me 🎯
Business hours are over!
Baybay!
LMAO!!!!
I left all the damn time when he says that!

This will never get old
This live show really knocked it out of the park.
3:35 that little scream after business gets me every time.
God, they look so young.
it’s 2024 & it’s still time for business, it’s business time.
It’s now 2023 and yet just like 3 years ago it is still business time
Everything about this is amazing!
The facial expressions with the spoken word parts are hilarious!
I especially love the "makin' love, makin' love for twoo, makin' love for twooo minutes" has me laughing everytime!
This never gets old
10 years.... still a huge fan!!!! Love these kiwis!!! 🥝 🥝
oh this brings back high school memories
Never gets old!! 😆 love this
First heard this song before my first "Business Time".
Came back to this tonight, many years of doing the "Business Time".
Can confirm: it goes down like this every time - especially the sexy dance moment.
2023 and its still business time.. ohhhh yeeaah
