collaboration is everything in the
business of comedy and that is our
number one participants our heroes go
team yeah welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 modern comedy duo’s before we
get started are there any food allergies
you’d like me to know about yeah peanut
allergies are really big deal I gotta be
careful like me so fatal gluten which i
think is like an adult human thing for
this list we’re looking at the funniest
comedy duo’s that write and perform
their own work so performers like Seth
Rogen and James Franco are disqualified
cuz my team okay freaks rather good
we’re also limiting our list to modern
times meeting classic duo’s such as
Cheech and Chong Laurel and Hardy or
Abbott and Costello are ineligible
enough is enough now we’ll be scattered
it hello hello he’s gone so am i no you
don’t come in number 10 Eric Andre and
Hannibal Buress Hannibal I think we
should just beat the shit out of Rick
Springfield Adult Swim has given us some
of TV’s most unique comedy since its
2001 launch
Katt Williams more like fat Williams
that’s dope Katt wounds very thin which
ones can’t woo
Katt Williams right and some of the
network’s best parodies can be seen on
the Eric Andre show featuring hosts Eric
Andre and sidekick Hannibal Buress would
you mind showing us your penis I’m gonna
deflect that question to him the dual
rips apart the iconic low-budget public
access talk show format in a way that’s
both reminiscent of space ghost coast to
coast but also still incredibly unique
thanks to the way the two play off each
other
it’s riffing we should be riding instead
of riffing Andre has even claimed that
they’ve attempted to make their
celebrity interviewees uncomfortable by
doing things like putting quote old
rotten clams under their seat I got a
question do we have enough porn no I
think there’s enough no now that’s just
genius comedy so
plan for their for the show what should
I or should I do now I’ll do a monologue
the phone number nine Riki Lindhome and
Kate Micucci also known as Garfunkel and
Oates not only is this duo hilarious
it’s also musical the funny sweet
sounding Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci
met at la’s Upright Citizens Brigade
theater they uploaded their songs to
YouTube and were eventually featured on
the sitcom scrubs Strasse stars above
I’d really like to see you Oh as well as
the Jay Leno Show before the IFC Network
gave them their own series how do they
make their voices sound like a creaky
door in a haunted house no Garfunkel and
Oates followed the pair on their quest
to make it big in Hollywood through
their music
oh look Ricky’s a flashlight we need a
flashlight if it’s not a flash
Oh God actually it is a flashlight Oh
we’ll take that too then the series may
have only lasted one season but that
doesn’t take away from the fact that the
twosomes fun quirky songs about weed
douchebags and sex with ducks are both
charming and hilarious we expect big
things from Garfunkel and Oates in the
future we’ll find a pond we’ll find a
puddle put your pig in mud and cuddle
number eight Jemaine Clement and Bret
McKenzie also known as Flight of the
Conchords Jemaine
Jemaine oh yeah obviously yeah we’re
here yeah well I’m here so what do we
have to say them shows in which
comedians play fictionalized versions of
themselves have become all the rage on
television and flight of the conchords
is one of the best examples this song is
18 minutes long we’re talking about a
30-second commercial here we thought it
would be more of a concept well I know
you’re from New Zealand what is this
Lord of the Rings we don’t have all day
the comedy follows New Zealand natives
and musicians Jemaine Clement and Bret
McKenzie as they attempt to get by in
the Big Apple
yeah decision Guinness isn’t Russia the
titular two man bands ability to break
into song in a way that fits so
seamlessly into the narrative of each
episode
that’s the series apart from other
similarly themed shows she’s so flippin
hot
she’s like a curry I want to tell her
how hot she is but she’ll think I’m
being 6s she’s so hot she’s making me
sick sister bitch in fact the
well-received flight of the conchords
has earned ten Emmy nods during its two

blend of live and pre-taped sketches
that received much praise as well as
four Primetime Emmy nominations I want
to say to all my black brothers out
there keep pumping out the rhymes and
we’ll keep Reap umping on
despite its cancellation in 1998 the
series wasn’t the last time David and
Bob worked together president United
States shit had its Kyle dump house the
gall stop needling me you prick the two
emerged again in 2015 on Netflix with
another sketch comedy show that’s
simpler less heavy and more fast-paced
and comes with a shorter title with Bob
and David we did it we’re back in the
present David oh come on just give me a
minute Bob but I had the lens of fear
for lunch even with all their interim
success it’s great to see the two return
to some good old fashioned sketch comedy
I’m very sorry you had to see this folks

no pole I find myself be aroused in
killing number five keegan-michael key

oh hey I initially cast against each
other
MADtv chose to hire both of these actors
to work together because of their great
chemistry grab my ass I was doing no
such thing man that’s wishful thinking
wish you grab my ass after leaving the
sketch comedy series and doing a bit of
their own thing the duel went on to
create their own show called key and
Peele which focused on making fun of
race relations and ethnic stereotypes in
saying that FDM Teri’s is gonna try some
up in here today like the bounce boogie
and bump that we got dick oh yeah key
and Peele the comedian’s have also
appeared in epic rap battles of history

together on internet-based comedy
sketches titled Thunder ant this is
markovia there’s a dog who tail and fur
Scott lungs and two eyes and ears nose

Portland which happened to be the
setting they utilized the most quickly

warm-hearted take on hipster culture

grade a satire have been consistently
critically acclaimed they still have
that even with relatively minimal
budgets Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
ability to blend comedy with all sorts
of genres has allowed them to build a
huge mainstream following nicely pars
and me what is it they say two eyes
