I'm pretty sure Bret was wearing velvet to be ironic, because both times were during music video scenes (during the actual show he always wears a sweater with an animal on it), BUT STILL.

Omg you have to watch it, it's so great. You can get season two from conchords_hbo, I just started downloading my favourites and they'r really high quality and stuff. You have to join the comm though.

You can also stream but it's harder.

Yes I am very eager for someone I know to watch this show with me. The only other person I knw well was my friend's boyfriend, but then they broke up.
