I was introduced to Flight of the Conchords by a friend from New Zealand a few months back. But they didn't crack Britain then.
One of the Conchords (Jemaine) was in a Hollywood(ish) movie. Still they didn't quite crack Britain.
Now their show, from the US channel HBO, is being shown on BBC Four! If that isn't making it big, I don't know what is!
Here is a contextual YouTube video
These guys are really funny, and their material is original.
The video above is of their take on the urban music scene, "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros"
Enjoy it - BBC Four, Tuesdays 2130 - 2200, repeated Fridays 2300 - 2330

I don't know if making it on BBC Four is "making it". After all, who watches BBC Four?!
Maybe having a radio series on the most listened to radio station in the UK could do it? Oh, they've done that already... ;)
Yes, you are - well done Tim! (I'm only on No. 74... but you did have a bit of a head-start).
Glyn used to have a video from them on his blog... They're pretty funny guys. And that second guy actually sounds like a rapper...
