All the girls are checking out my sugar lumps

9.0

"Superb"

By AegisAtreyu, May 21, 2009

Although it took a little while to get started this was an amazingly funny episode. Just the idea of Bret and Jermaine going into prostitution is enough to laugh at, even before the jokes. The way it's tied into buying a $2.79 mug and super straws though is genius.

The funniest bit for me was Jermaine calling up his ex on a payphone though. It goes something like this: 'Hello Carol, it's Jemaine, you know we had sex like 6 times last year in February, well I'm a prostitute now...'. I won't give away the punchline but it's fricking hilarious.

Last week was funny but this week -despite the weak links into the tunes, in particular sugar lumps- had me in fits. Murray was great as well and Mel was annoying as ever 'Samurai Masseuse'.moreless

Great episode. I liked that Mel is back to being their biggest fan. We learn something more disturbing about her every time the boys are forced to visit her house. She and her fixation with the boys is one of the best parts of the storyline. I don't see why they weren't willing to go all the way with her for a chunk of money, even though her husband was still in the room. I just would have liked it better if the boys had tried pimping as opposed to turning tricks. Also, the overall moral of the story should have highlighted the fact that every dollar a man earns with his junk is a testament to his greatness.moreless

By far the best FOTC episode! I really like the direction the second season is going. After HBO announced they were signing FOTC for an additional season, I was skeptical if the second season would live up to its expectations. FOTC season 2 has not only met my expectations, but with flying colors. Mel, Dave and Jermaine are my favorite characters... oh yeah and I can't forget Murray! I Murray does some fabulous "managing skills" in this season.
The first season seemed to develop plots around their hit singles from comedy concerts, but the second season is completely fresh and looks great so far!moreless

Jemaine and Bret share one cup in their small apartment, up to a point when Bret decides to buy a 2 dollar and 79 cent mug for himself.

With the purchase of the mug by Bret, money troubles strikes deeply in their lives. With the amount of bills left unpaid, Bret is forced to sell his Guiter and play a Gig with Jemaine without a instrument. Later on in this very quirky tale, Jemaine as well sells his instruments is forced to prostitute himself.

Final Comments. This was one of the best well written well sang episode I have seen in a while. I have seen every episode that was aired and I loved each with equal amounts, but this episode made me more in love with the show. If you didn't laugh during this episode then maybe your watching the wrong kind of show, but for the rest of yeah if you really in need of a laugh and waste away a 30 minutes of the day, then don't waste time looking for something to watch when you can spend it on the Flights Of Conchords it is well worth your time.moreless
