oh god imagine being able to go back in time and tell these three men that one was going to win an oscar, one was going to direct the highest-grossing Thor movie and one was going to be a sparkly crab in a children's movie. Truly impressive work.

1. Taika hasn’t aged, 2. The way Jemaine says croissant and baguette is very soothing 😂😂😂😂 the humour is immaculate 😂😂❤️❤️

[@nihonarekun]

I wish Taika would've been on the show

[@noahking3723]

Arekun I do too, although he was on there for five seconds as "Gypsy Kings fan", at least according to IMDb

[@ganjenzed7855]

Arekun I think he might of been the director at least on some of the eps.

[@roxyqueen2]

Writer of a few episodes too, including the finale.

[@panszuba]

Nhah I think Murray is a better character overall. If Taika did the part there would be a possibility that the show would be.. too much his. Hope yu know that I mean :)

[@septirgo]

Arekun i agree he would sang every song wut fotc sang

[@MsGrapeNehi]

I'm a Jemaine fangirl for life, but... can we just talk about how adorable Taika is?

[@Shelbuscus72]

What-If Machine yes, let's talk about it. 😂

So adorbs and baby faced!

[@lollic307]

Yeah

[@Quadtuplitets]

I don’t know what it is about Jermaine but he is so attractive.

[@janicebelfiore856]

Jemaine has a sexy voice

[@psychosissafari]

it's the most New Zealand thing ever that they randomly bump into Jonah Lomu at the airport. It's like the most over the top way of defining their location, but it actually happened.

[@kevincostello5253]

Never knew this existed, just discovered it by accident. Made my day. Rhys Darby is the one and only Murray, but it's interesting to see where the character came from. I know Taika wrote and directed a few episodes, but wonder why he never made an appearance? Or did he have a cameo maybe?

[@AnaC.]

He did a small cameo in the show as a Gypsy Kings fan on a commercial.

[@sophovot5079]

its sad for me that they cant be seen more in the future :_'

[@AnyoneCanSee]

As well as Flight of the Concords, one has gone onto win an Oscar and one has been nominated and may be again this year. Considering they are a group of mates in Newe Zealand they have gone onto achieve so much creatively. Absolutely astonishing.

[@ciderfan823]

Taika and Jemaine were both in "What we do in the shadows," right?

[@KJ-je9pm]

Aww they look so young. Love seeing Taika here as well.

[@CatsnCoasters]

I cant believe this was almost 20 yes ago!! They didnt do to bad for themselves did they. Love FOTC

[@NxDoyle]

The biggest 'take away' for me from watching this is that Taika appears not to have aged a day in the last 15 years.

Taika would of been great as a character who buys out FOTC on the show and becomes like a more hard ass manager. Then Murray gets them back through some kind of loophole in their contract.

Taika is great, it would have been even better if he was in the series as well. But Murray was much better character as a manager though. So I'm glad they changed that...
