You've got to realise that most of their songs were designed to be pretty improvised. If you watch many of the different live performances of FOTC on you tube, no song is performed the same twice. They are a comedy act, and in this context they change up the song every time to keep it fresh, or to suit their audience. They are still absolutely fantastic!

Wow. Did that audience actually have a pulse? I can maybe understand them not getting the humor of the intro, but I cannot comprehend anyone being able to sit through all of Business Time with just a few polite chuckles. Even if you don't speak a word of English, just the singing style alone is hilarious! ZOMBIE AUDIENCE, RUN GUYS, RUN!
@richiesaidthat21986 жыл бұрын
SlickGimmick it's because they're all nerds and they were offended by them making fun of technology. Plus nerds don't know what "business time" is either.

The preamble was a little long and the energy wasn't really as high as a regular FOTC gig.

They were probably nervous. I remember when they did a little show in Aro video store, down the road from where my uni is. Going from that kinda low-key stuff back home, to all this big TV stuff must be pretty scary for them. And he came back pretty well from that screw up with the bath/bedroom thing.

apparently you couldn't really hear the audience laughing, but if you check out the other videos of this performance that audience is really laughing. I thought they did great!
@jingles2215 жыл бұрын
I so wish they were coming this year, then I'd be even more psyched. But I hope the crowd is more amped up this year. I fi had Brett and Jemaine for my event I'd be really excited! FotC
