I'm surprised anyone disagrees! Stuff like "Issues" and "Business Time" seemed much funnier when they had time and space to let the jokes breathe a little. Some of them disappear entirely, like fork-knees saying "Aaa-aaaa-aargh."

But there are no great moments in performance specials where Bret fends off date rape, so...
i have no idea how you think the songs dont breathe in the sitcom setting. the songs are slowed down dramatically in the show just for that reason.

There is one where she puts glasses on her dog Jemaine, and it's mindblowingly cute. I mean, a dog, wearing glasses.

Cuter than this, even:

I like to think I'm the cute one without glasses. Girls would wake me up in the night begging for sex. And I would be like 'in 3 years I'll be ready' lol

Arj needs to be on this show more. He's like the comedian's Dave Grohl, I have the hots for him something fierce.

NJUWWPT episode was hilarious but disappointing. When they went to black n white in the car I was certain they were going to do a we're-on-tour themed song, but then nothing. I did like the line about the mermaids smoking seaweed at their parties though.
The best thing about this show though really is Bret's sweaters.

I was just thinking that his sweaters/sweatshirts are the most doggedly unaesthetic bits of clothing I've ever seen.

So once again I wonder what is going on behind the scenes at HBO that we had a few weeks of ho-hum episodes of both this and Entourage, and now this week both shows are way way better and at their peaks.

So is it just me, or does the show seem to have decided over the past few episodes that the group really sucks, and they only make good music in their song-fantasies? At the beginning you could imagine they were weird but competent, since things like the "The Humans Are Dead" video were presumably their actual recorded music, and the Jemaine-and-boombox trade show performance was pretty funky. But the past few episodes keep having them twiddle shabbily on their guitars and look stupid, as if to suggest they couldn't even begin to play anything like in their fantasies.
(It's a good thing they weren't actually getting a record deal, cause Bret would get screwed on publishing: Jemaine wrote their big "Who Likes to Rock the Party?" single when he was out of the band! Though he maybe helped with the booties / boobies part.)
― nabisco, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 16:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Me too!
― ENBB, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link
nabisco, I thought the same thing myself (about them sucking when they actually do play). I think this past episode, they played something other than "Who Likes To Rock the Party", but it was equally as terrible. Will Forte seemed to sum it up with his, "Your stage characters of being 2 clueless and naive guys from New Zealand is hilarious!" (I'm paraphrasing).
That being said, 3 cheers for the Donovan-esque "Pretty Prince of Parties."
