One Of "Flights" Best Songs On This Episode Thus Far!!
metny8 February 2009
On this episode, Bret and Jermaine really go all out with the a song titled "Hurt Feelings" which is both very funny and very good sounding!! One of my personal favorites.

On their last episode, Season 2 - Episode 2, Bret and Jermaine had another great track titled "Sugalumps" which was also very good and very funny! Would recommend that you check that one out as-well.

Seems that "Flight Of The Conchords" are really off to a tremendous start in their follow-up season to their One Of A Kind, Unlike Any Other Sitcom Ever Seen debut season!

Another instant Classic!

Fewest unfunny/cringy moments in the whole series

My overall rating of "Flight of the Conchords"'s Season 2: 5/10

While I've rated this episode the highest of any "Flight of the Conchords", it's not necessarily because I enjoyed it the most, or think it's the best - rather, it's the smoothest, with relatively few spoonfuls of tar in that particular barrel of honey. I enjoyed some of the other episodes more even if I had to yawn/cringe through segments of them; with this one, sure there were some worse segments (really most of the gang subplot) but there were also some truly humorous ones (the climax of the gang subplot is beyond hilarious).

Two movie parodies for the price of one!
ninecurses27 July 2017
This show is always a hoot. Low-key and deadpan, it is wonderfully anti-sitcom. Great original songs as well. This episode is probably my favorite. The show had already done a number of homage/parodies, but here they give us two brilliant examples.

West Side Story has been sent up many times, but don't let that stop your enjoyment here. What they do with it is hysterical!

The best moment, though, has got to be what they do to the self- serious pomp that is Magnolia. No, no the frog sequence, but the Aimee Mann/Wise Up bit. The parody is set to a song called Hurt Feelings and, as in the movie it references, everyone in the cast gets in on the fun. They even switch the cinematography to match the look of Magnolia. So funny. I loved it, hope P.T. Anderson does, too:-)

(p.s. I'm a sucker for a parody/homage - The David Bowie episode from season 1 is my second favorite of the series. Check it out)
