Finally I have something to write about. Ok American dad was rubbish, the only good thing was the cute little chicken.
I had high hopes from last week’s episode but I’m afraid to say that this week’s epis0de, I thought was one of the worst so far. It was good to see Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe from 24) feature, but her part was not well worked into the episode. There was only really one good song called Demon Woman.
Spoiler Alert!!!!
We start with an opening scene containing a hectic New Zealand embassy. Bret and Jemaine attend a meeting with Murray who is rushing because he’s been appointed as the prime minster of New Zealand’s aide for his visit to America. He’s trying to set up a meeting with the President, but has lined up a gig for the guys performing as a Simon and Garfunkel tribute band. Bret and Jemaine are not happy about this but need the money.
Next scene brings us to the tribute act with a familiar face watching the band. Its Chloe from 24, looks much better in this than 24… Anyway she takes a liking to Jemaine and comes over to ask him out, he accepts.
The prime minster turns up to Murray’s office and is sleeping when Bret and Jemaine turn up. Bret gets signed up to be the prime ministers body guard and Murray is still trying to arrange a meeting with the president. Jemaine then goes off for his date but ‘Chloe’ is not happy with the way he looks as he’s not dressed up as Garfunkel. Mel warns him that she’s a psycho but he ignores her and goes and gets changed. He then goes to ‘Chloe’s’ apartment and it takes a while for her to get the right angle, this is when the ‘Demon woman’ song starts.
The next memorable part of this episode was when the prime mister was in Dave’s shop and was fascinated that ‘The Matrix’ was available because it had only just been released in New Zealand. Dave and the prime minster exchange their belief that the Matrix is real and déjà vu is a sign. Jemaine talks to Mel about how his new girlfriend is using him, Mel says she is crazy. Next Bret, Murray and the prime minster visit the white house but Murray still hasn’t arranged a meeting with the prime minster so it’s just a guided tour. The prime minister has a meeting and says he disappointed with Murray but then forgives him.
Jemaine goes to see ‘Chloe’ again but after he arrives the real Garfunkel arrives (fair play, good sport) and Jemaine is left alone after they get back together. On his walk back he sees Mel in her car making out with someone who looks like Bret, it turns out to be Doug dressed up which shows Mel was crazy too.
Murray has organized a fondue evening and invites a lot of lookalike singers and even the President (quite a good lookalike). The prime minister sees a small Elton John walk past him and then a couple of seconds later another, he believes this is a glitch in the matrix and goes to run off the top of the building. The episode ends with Jemaine arriving at the flat and walking in on Bret practicing for his Simon solo act.
Not a great episode 2.5/5
