Flight of the Conchords - "Love is a Weapon of Choice"
Nominated by: Great Paul

When I was in high school and college, I had a HUGE crush on younger Kristin Wiig, so this episode gets an immediate boost from ponytailed Wiig in track pants.

Season 2 was not QUITE as good as FotC season 1, but this episode is still a fantastic one. Murray's brand of humor is a brilliant combination of awkward comedy and overexaggeration, and there's no way to quantify it. "Last year, you had two ideas." He doesn't mean it as a complete burn, but it plays wonderfully that way.

"Are you pro or anti-AIDS? Can you just do a quick one around the office and find out if anyone is pro?"

Really, every Murray line is phenomenal. One of the most underrated supporting characters ever.

I know my thoughts are all over the place here. I think what makes Flight such a fantastic show is that one-off jokes are pushed to their limit, and the further you dive into them, the more they turn the characters into unique personalities. There is a child-like innocence to Bret and Jemaine, and a character like Brahbrah (what a great punchline that ended up being) fits into the patter well. In fact, season 2 really sees the characters settling into their unique brand of comedy so easily.

The downside, however, is that the music is just not QUITE as good as before, and it still remains a driving reason behind why you would watch this show.

Still, awkward dog stealing, Mel stalking Bret, and Brahbrah searching for a dog that disappeared six months before makes this a great little episode.
