Excellent article from Zapit

Some excellent observations in this Zapit blog by Liz Pardue. For instance, noting how much fun the guys seem to be having in the video during the credits. Or that the greeting card guy was John Hodgman aka PC guy! She also brings up one of my favorite moments from Episode 6:

And it gets progressively less heterosexual as the song goes on, moving from lyrics like “Don’t let anybody tell you you’re not hump-able / Because you’re bump-able / Well I hope this doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable,” to “No doubt about it we’d be getting crazy / If one of us was lucky enough to be born a lady,” to a story about that one night Jemaine was feeling lonely, put a wig on Bret, and spooned him while he was sleeping. Ha! And I love Jemaine’s response when questioned about it: “How could that be gay, if you’re pretending they’re a woman? …Not that I did that.” Perhaps understandably, that night Bret chooses to sleep on a couch in the other room rather than in his bed in the room he shares with Jemaine.

I was wondering why he was on the couch.

About Bowie’s pointy nipples she says:

And that brings us to possibly the weirdest song to hit Conchords yet: “Bowie’s in Space.” In which they conjecture that it’s cold in space–cold enough to make Bowie in space’s nipples pointy. Thus, he probably uses them as antennae to send transmissions back to Earth. Because why wouldn’t he? (Seriously, what crazy genius thinks of these things?)

It’s really quite logical if you think think about it..

She writes about Mel:

I keep worrying that Mel’s shtick will get old, but it’s pretty much still funny every time for me, and this episode was no exception. “You have a refined bone structure, while Jemaine’s features are too deep-set to be classically handsome” isn’t an innately funny phrase, but Kristen Schaal’s perfect delivery made me laugh out loud..

and finally she closes with the understatement of the year:

Man, this show is awesome.

Umm…yeah!
