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 …read more

No longer is the folk duo to be alone in this great episode, “Girlfriends.” And who’d have thought it would have started because Jemaine needed a wingman in his pursuit of a croissant? Anyway, the two walk into a bakery, see two lovely ladies, and start imagining in French….and technicolor….and 60s Laugh-In camp-ish style. Awesome.
Bret and Jemaine decide to take them on a date, and Jemaine decides to switch girls, while Bret does well with both. Jemaine just can’t catch a break, can he? Once Bret switches, he starts to really hit it off with his new girl, but then …read more

Once again, if you’d like the HBO Synopsis (and the link to this picture) click here. My synopsis follows….the better synopsis. Kind of like pork is the other white meat. Except I don’t eat pork. And they say other, and not better. Okay, so my reference sucks, but my summary is better, I promise!

If you ever wanted to find out the reason why so many New Zealanders are mugged in New York City,  this episode will provide you with the answer.

Just like last week, here’s the link to the HBO synopsis of the episode. You can find my own, much more lengthy synopsis, below!
So, all we need to get to is the second episode before we realize that Bret and Jemaine are having money troubles. Bret comes home with some groceries, and Jemaine starts to eat a sandwich before being told that Bret just found them on the street. This causes a lot of torment, and starts the song “Inner City Pressure,” which has great synth effects, if you were curious.
The duo go to Murray’s office to have a band …read more
