Thoughts on Episode 10

I’ve been meaning to write this post since Sunday but I haven’t been able to get to it. Sorry bout that. Anywoo, question : Who did not like this episode? Seriously? The episode is titled New Fans and coincidentally the boys add two new fans to the fan list. You can read a recap over at Zap2it. What can I say about this episode? It was genius from start to finish and I agree with Ryan Mcgee, that Mel sloooowly removing her head from the bathroom should earn an Emmy nomination! That was classic. Just when I think I can’t love Kristen Schaal any more. I learn.. uh-huh I can.. I was actually a bit upset that the guys treated her so shabbily but Bret made it up in the end. Now, exactly what was Murray telling the fans on the internet? I would like to know. Dirty Boy. This is my favorite episode so far. Of course, it wasn’t till after I watched it that I saw it was Taika who directed it and friend of the C Duncan Sarkies who wrote it! Kudos to them both! Excellent Episode. [rating: 4.5/5]
Favorite moments :

  • Jemaine getting upset because he was disqualified from the competition.
  • Bret not being a fan of the band.
  • Jemaine saying it was a terrible prize then being glad he didn’t win.
  • Seeing Lisa V. as the singer from Mexico.
  • The entire ladies of the world video!
  • Daryl Hall.
  • Mel being so energetic dancing to the song.
  • Murray not knowing they were tuning.
  • “Makes you look like a goat.”
  • Beer making Bret go to the toilet.
  • Murray yelling at the guys about going to the toilet.
  • The boys being Whacked off.
  • Borrowing Dave’s clothes.
  • Casual Prince.
  • “I think they made them on the computer.”
  • Jemaine defensive about the webcam.
  • Zed Zed top.
  • The whole dinner scene at Mels!
  • “Oh that’s nice, Kinda like bad weather”
  • “Oh, you can’t read” - this especially cracked me up
  • Mel discussing her husband
  • Mel bringing the beers.
  • Poor Doug in the basement.
  • Mel breaking into the bathroom to talk to Bret.
  • The creepy picture hanging in bathroom.
  • Mel slowly closing the door to the bathroom.
  • So, you guys wanna get whacked off? Bret: What? Jemaine: Yeah!
  • Much too full for a whole one. Too much Pasta Salad. A 16th?
  • Bret realizing he took it. “Oh Flub!”
  • The whole acid trip. Doesn’t Mel look so sexy in that video?
  • Love the Squirrel!
  • Get out. I’m having Acid reflux.
  • Jemaine and his red briefs getting excited for the threesome.
  • Arguing over twosomes, threesomes.. pretty much the whole bathroom scene.
  • Lame excuses..Doctor’s Appointments. Night Driving Lesson.
  • Worrying about being impolite..”Let’s do it”..”No we’ll feel obliged to do it”
  • The window!! :lol:
  • Murray and the Rock N Roll Lifestyle.
  • “No, I’m just not a fan of the bad. At all”
  • “You were just there by yourself”
  • Sorry Mel.

Did I just give away the whole plot? Sorry. Don’t read this if you haven’t seen the episode.

    Well done, Nicole.

    I’d also add: Jemaine wearing Dave’s mom’s shirt. The Pretty Prince of Parties video - every bit of it! Bret was awesome! Murray’s expression when he was getting that itch scratched. Murray saying that it’s normal to go out to dinner, “have a few drugs”, like beers. Funny along the same line when the guys said thanks for the acids - plural. Everything Mel did, everything. And Jemaine’s generally happy mood at being offered all kinds of sex. For the fans of Jemaine’s smile, we sure got to see the boy happy on this episode. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. :mrgreen:

    By the way, I think Bret said “flip,” like mother-flipping from another episode.

    d!!
    yeah, i say ditto to everything you said. i forgot to add jemaine trying to eat with chopsticks! I only used “Flub” because that’s what it had in the close captioning. Either way it was great. Don’t you want to know what was going on in Jemaine’s trip? :lol:

    this is an off topic post, but this has been on my mind….

    in the previous episode “What Goes On Tour”

    when the waterpolo girl asks what Bret’s last name is and Bret says it….it doesn’t sound like he said ‘Mckenzie’. Is his last name pronounced differently than ‘Mah-ken-zee’? Or am I tripping balls…..thanks guys.
