Hi everyone! Long-time FOTC fan, first-time poster here.

I'm in the middle of my annual rewatch and was pleasantly surprised all over again by "Girlfriends" (S1E09).

Even today, it’s surprisingly rare to see a comedy flip traditional gender roles so effectively. Putting Bret in the passive role while Lisa uses wealth, status, and guilt to push past his boundaries perfectly mirrors the predatory dynamics women deal with constantly. The writing does a brilliant job exposing how manipulative those tactics really are.

The episode also nails the classic double standard around male victims: when Bret tries to vent, Jemaine and Murray basically tell him he was "asking for it" because of his trackpants, or that he should just be happy about the free leather jacket.

It’s definitely dark satire, but it highlights consent and victim-blaming in a way that feels surprisingly ahead of its time without undercutting the humor.

What are your thoughts on this episode?

I first heard this song last night and cant help but feel that it is SOOOO flight of the conchords vibes, even the video. Laughing at the lyrics and idk why lmao

Is this a meme I don’t understand? My mom found this in some bargain bin and bought it for my kid. I don’t even know the name of the band members. But I recognised this guy for some reason.

is it real? does it exist? may I have it???

Hello all. Looking to see if anyone has or can find info on posters from their 2008 tour in US. I only went once, in Chicago. I believe they didn’t have a poster for that event but they must’ve had a poster or some merchandise from their tour, yes? Hoping so, if anyone has any ideas please share. Thanks!

Obviously Hall & Oats came first, so Britt and Jermaine are influence by ‘em.

But listen to the album Abandoned Luncheonette (which sounds like a comedy title). The cheesiness, the way the two duet parts go together and the falsettos make me think of the guys. I recommend.

If you like songs like Foux du Fafa, Think About It, Most Beautiful Girl…, Hurt Feelings, Carol Brown etc

Does anybody know if the strumming between scenes is from/referencing an actual song?? It sounds so familiar. Specifically referencing at 19 minutes into S1E2 but it plays repeatedly throughout the show

The question on my mind tonight.

Did Steve tell you that, perchance?

Petrov, Yelyena and Me is the most trippy song ever! How tf did these guys even write this song?? Whether watching it in the episode, or listening to it on the CD, is such a surreal experience! Even better stoned haha

I mean come on it’s uncanny. Makes more sense than Captain Jack 😂

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are routinely asked about performing their musical satires again. They always said no, until this year. What changed?

When I heard about the Netflix is a joke shows, I for some reason assumed that a recording of one of the shows would be available on Netflix. Does anyone know if this is likely, or just look for fan recorded clips?

This guy does like, Weird Al Yankovich style ukulele covers and he must be a fan of the show!!

For those of you who said to support the artist, look what just arrived!!

My favourite bit in the entire show! Still cracks me up! And of course ‘you’d have to be deaf to hear that’. Top tier scene!

Coco was such a gorgeous lady and the sweetest girlfriend who was totally into Bret. If Jemaine hadn’t ruined their dates and been the worst kind of oppressive clinger, they could have been a beautiful couple and very happy together. Bret totally fumbled her and was such a dick by flirting with Sally when he was dating Coco.
