Part of the presentation we needed to view in week two (see below) was a You Tube clip by Flight of the Conchords - See: Bowie Song.
Personally, I think these guys are great and I can't understand why NZ and TVNZ didn't embrace them...but that's my own viewpoint.
The questions asked within the presentation, along with my answers, follow:
1: Is this good quality?
Seems OK to me. I've seen better resolution and such on You Tube...but the message and humour still gets across - also a quick download (is that what you mean by 'quality'? )
2: Why is it good?
I enjoy their humour and I think their musical presentation is great!
3: Why is it not so good?
Must admit, I'm left asking questions here:
- Who else shares my sense of humour?
- Does humour relate across cultures?
- Does humour relate across age groups?
- Should I impose my sense of humour on others whom I don't *really* know? (ie my students)
Call me old fashioned..but when it comes to humour I think it needs to be relevant to the students and the learning context.
