I love the Hurt Feelings reprise sooo much. I can't stop listening to it.

I may as well say I [image]

the episode too.

Or is telling you this obvious fact not really necessary? [image]

Definitely. If I wasn't already the most hardcore Bretero ever, the ceiling drop would have converted me.

One of the things that makes this show so likeable is their use of everyday people. It's not like normal TV where every character looks like a model. I mean, how cute is the Chinese couple and the white haired "
gang"
member. They have goofy grass-roots charm. It gives the series such warmth, ya know??

[size=133:gq8vz43b]'Flight of the Conchords' music recap: 'Stay Cool' and 'Hurt Feelings'
Feb 2, 2009, 06:24 PM | by Saba Mohtasham

[size=100:gq8vz43b]Whether you'd describe the show's music as superbly simple or frivolously fresh (or something mean that I don't condone), tunes from HBO's Flight of the Conchords are nothing if not educational. Last night's episode taught us you've gotta be tough to walk (or dance) the mean streets of New York. What better way to show this than to call upon two other New York gangs: the Jets and the Sharks.

Okay, "
Stay Cool"
has about three lyrics and no one's snapping on time. Who cares! What I took away from this West Side Story choreographed ditty is that Bret assembled the most diverse gang ever! Mr. Lee's even smaller than Bret, and Johnny Boy's older than the actual concept of a gang. But if the multiracial Tough Brets aren't progress for gang relations, I don't know what is.

But I'd have to say the powerfully honest rap "
Hurt Feelings"
definitely left a deeper impression. I'm sure we can all relate to Bret's sense of rejection from finding out his friends went to see Maid in Manhattan without him. Everyone from Doug to Greg chimes in with their hurt feelings, and we learn Mel has more emotions than just uberexcitement. Anyone else come close to tearing up at the sight of her clutching the painting on the stoop?

So I learned a lot from last night's episode, but, like any insatiable FOTC fan, I'm only left with more questions. Who are the guys playing Bret and Jemaine's friends in "
Hurt Feelings?"
Why are they wearing hats? Why don't Bret and Jemaine ever wear hats? Why are they all of a sudden dressed like George Washington? Will we ever get to meet Steve? How badly do you want to see Mel's X-rated painting of Bret? Why wasn't Murray's mom allowed in his bike-y gang? And who is the real Miss New Zealand? (Okay, so that last one's a bit easier to answer. It's actually Samantah Powell as of 2008, just so you know.)

So many questions! Okay, PopWatchers, now it's your turn. What did you think of our beloved Kiwis' latest installment? And what have you learned?

It is Doug's part in Hurt Feelings that really makes me want to cry. :'(

Aww. Poor Doug. Sad

I think Doug's part is "
Have you ever been told that you're not the right shape?"

Mon Feb 02, 2009 7:37 pm

Have you ever been told... that you're the wrong shape.. ???

Mon Feb 02, 2009 7:39 pm

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Sad

I love Jemaine's bass part at the library gig. [image]

Yeah... Poor Doug Sad

Mon Feb 02, 2009 8:07 pm

Oh god, Doug breaks my heart.
When he came in the room all hopeful, like a life drawing model in only his dressing gown to pose raunchily for his wife and then..
no
Sad

Aww.. everybody's part in that makes me want to cry. In between my swooning over Bret's voice. [image]

I know, I feel sorry for Doug, too . . . I hope there's eventually some kind of subplot where Doug and Mel's relationship is dealt with, whether they make up or end up getting divorced, or whatever. . there needs to be some resolution there. Sad

I always notice this whenever I watch it, I really love the way Greg says "
It is broken, Murray."
when they find out the intercom's broken and he was listening in for a whole year. XD

It feels like they will. I love how in season one, Doug seems purely submissive and uncaring, but now we see real depth in him! I love it!
Did you watch Mel's blog with him talking about her?
Its the sweetest, yet most heartbreaking thing.
