Episode of the Day: Episode 11: “The Actor”
Umm, wow, I’m not sure where to start with this episode. Put Will Forte and Lord of the Rings together and you’ve got a winningly funny episode, I guess?
So, anyway, the episode goes like this. Remember, you can click here to get HBO’s heinously short synopsis. As if….So, anyway, Murray is really down during this episode, and the boys try to think of things to do to cheer him up. He feels like he’s doing a bad job with the band and that he hasn’t really done anything right yet. The duo decides to enlist some help, and find an actor played by Will Forte. They ask him if he could help them by pretending to be a record executive, and to tell Murray that the music is good, but still let him down, because, as you know, he’s not really a record exec. Anyway, the plan goes a little awry when he can’t say no to Murray and tells him that he’ll be offering him a million-dollar contract. Can you say “oops?” Anyway, there’s a music video that results, complete with Mel speaking Elvish or Elvin or whatever it is, I’m sure my boyfriend would yell at me if he saw that I didn’t know what the language was exactly called, but whatever, I don’t watch LotR.
Songs in this episode are “Cheer Up Murray” and “Frodo.”
