full eps are on y0utube btw of course which is why that above is like a transcript and my previous entry re: new zealand accent is a fairly inaccurate paraphrasing...

She's so hot she's making me sexist. Bitch.
― kenan, Saturday, 7 July 2007 08:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Also: I smell a lot of Ween-level comedy begging to happen in this show, but thankfully so far it hasn't gotten that inexcusable. So far it's just a little South-Park-y. And fine and whatever and -- deep breath -- ok.

my fave verses on the what's wrong with the world R&B song are the one about Monkeys giving people diseases and the one about high sneaker prices. Those cracked me up.

this show is brilliant. me and lxy watched all three last night. Inner City Pressure was tear-inducing. the phrasing was so perfect pet shop boys. I concur with rrrobyn above that you really need to watch the whole show: the genius is in the silences and looks and awkward moments. their manager kind of kills me, like a cross between Ian Fiath and David Brent.
Jemaine is really weird looking. In a good way.

also i love the week-in-the-life format. "What, all that happened on Tuesday??"
and thankx guys for the Daft Punk reference

it's pretty good except for the songs
― am0n, Sunday, 8 July 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
The manager is my favorite for laffs; I love both the main guys & they are v.v. good looking. I am surprised no Tenacious D comparisons have been made (ie on their NPR interview): HBO show about unpopular two-man band. But xxx100k better of course.

am I wrong for thinking she's cute?

I am, aren't I. My life is one shame after another.

she is not horribly uncute, she just should've had orthodontics re: chin but whatever, she is funny!!

Am I the only one who thinks their manager is like a dodgy NZ version of Ricky Gervais?

nope!
their manager kind of kills me, like a cross between Ian Faith and David Brent.
