Hot Guy #7

This hot guy is actually a pair of hot guys, but I'm going to include them both together, because they're always together in the context that I know them in.

Hot Guy(s) #7: Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement

These guys are the hilarious New Zealand duo from Flight of the Conchords. If you don't know this show, you are seriously missing out on some vital humour in your life.
Two struggling musicians living in New York City, they try to make ends meet while trying to hit it big in the big city. A little spoiler for you: This doesn't happen. In fact, the show ends with them being shipped off back to New Zealand. Very sad for those fans that wanted more from them.
The songs that they do to correspond with the show's episodes are fantastic. Obviously the songs are meant to be spoofs and meant to be funny more than anything, but they're actually fairly catchy too. "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor" may sound shitty, but it's a good one, I promise.
Their characters are complete morons who are far too naive to be living in a city like NYC. Which of course makes the show 100% funnier.
Their accents are strangely sexy too. It's hard to take them seriously as sexy men when they're so dumb, but they are too cute, and Jemaine is really big and burly. A true man. Plus, the jokes would not be half as funny if they didn't have the accents.
So basically this has been more of an advertisement for Flight of the Conchords than anything else, but if you watch this show I promise you will not be disappointed. Just don't judge it by the first episode... Kinda shitty... But it gets better!
Even though I included them together, I'm going to give them separate marks.
Bret gets a B+. He's cute, but kinda scrawny and he is the extremely naive one. How else would they get him to dress up as the human cond-om? He also hasn't been in anyting else as far as I know.
Jemaine on the other hand gets an A because not only is he sexy and manly, he's been in some movies outside FOTC and he's the funnier one... I think anyway.
Jemaine and Bret, I miss you. Please come back to TV soon, preferrably with another season on FOTC. Or with an FOTC movie...
