Season 2, Episode 6
While exercising in Central Park, Jemaine and Bret meet a lady (Kristen Wiig) who’s lost her dog. Both fall in love with her immediately and start a competition to win her affections. If you think R. Kelly’s recent songs are the pinnacle of idiocy, then you’ll love “I’m in Love with a Sexy Lady” which eviscerates “Same Girl”. If you think 80s videos like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" are ridiculously dated (and entertaining) then you’ll enjoy “Love is Your Weapon of Choice”. Watching the duo fight is a nice change of pace and if you didn’t laugh out loud when Jemaine slapped Bret with the glove in slo-mo, then you need to watch it again . . .
The epileptic dog song may have been in questionable taste, but I found it hilarious (and one of my dogs had epilepsy when I was a kid).Final notes: Love Murray’s smile before he walks down the stairs at the end and Jemaine’s “What?!?” in the same scene. Wiig was surprisingly subdued but seemed to inspire welcomed craziness in Bret and Jemaine during their songs. B+

I love the way Murray always does the leading questions - "Jemaine, you're pro-AIDS, right?" I also love Murray's blogging/computer reactions during the dogilepsy song, especially when the remix starts. Weird that the lazy eye didn't figure into the episode at all after being referenced in the first scene. Jemaine with a beard and wearing Bret's sweatshirt was an LOL moment, as was Jemaine's early entry to his dinner date with Brahbrah.
