The Flight of the Conchords won a Grammy in 2008 for the Best Comedy Album for Distant Future.
Before Flight of the Conchords was made into a HBO series, it was a mostly improvised radio series on BBC Radio 2 which is similar to the TV series, where Bret and Jemaine were band members who were trying to make it big in London. Rhys Darby (who plays Murray in the TV series) was their manager, and Jimmy Carr (II) played their fan called Kipper. Their radio series was popular, and in 2006 they were awarded the Bronze Sony Radio Academy Award for comedy.
Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie met whilst attending Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.
At a photo-shoot, Murray says Bret looks so small next to Jemaine that he looks like he could be in Lord of the Rings. Bret McKenzie actually appeared in minor roles in both The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).
In episode 2.1, Murray says the Grammys the guys won were fake, but in real life, the band won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album.
When Sally is breaking up with Gemaine, there is a sign posted on the fence behind her that reads "No Dumping". This is precisely what she is doing to Gemaine.
According to Flight of the Conchords, many things Mel says are taken from actual fans of the group. In the documentary "Flight of the Conchords - A Texan Odyssey", we can see one of their fans carrying a photo of Jemaine's lips, which can be seen in the sitcom.
When Dave is timing Bret's ability to hold up both middle fingers, he clocks him at 1 minute, 32 seconds. If you count on your fingers in binary, the pattern formed by holding up both middle fingers (00100 00100) equals 132 in decimal.
