Flight of the Conchords - Wingmen
Season 2, Episode 9 Jemaine goes undercover with Dave to help Bret talk to a lady. Then Jemaine gets maced (!) after staging a fake mugging to help Bret look more masculine. Then Bret gets freaky . . . The "Friends" episode ended with a song, and this one inventively begins with one - where Bret sings about his day and Jemaine occasionally chimes in. Some of the episode feels a little redundant, with Murray whispering about Greg (who's close by) as well as the duo handling the romantic encounters incompetently. But it is funny, and a step up from last week. Listening to Jemaine wailing offscreen after getting maced was my laugh out loud moment. This season became a DVD purchase a few weeks ago after "Unnatural Love". Next week is the season finale where the guys get evicted and move in with Mel.
This was a weak episode, but better than last week. I laughed outloud at Jemaine's offscreen dumpster diving catalogue "half an avocado". "I told you I was freaky" is great - especially the vampire and clips on lips. I need more Mel and Dave and less Murray, except when he is interacting with J & B.
