Phoebe from Friends meets the Conchords. Constant grinning.
6 February 2021
That's Phoebe from Friends, the singer/songwriter with Dunning-Kreuger syndrome ('Smelly Cat', anyone?), and the Conchords (very funny NZ song duo).

These characters have been refreshed to include upfront references to the female dating & sex experience at the expense of any character conflict whatever. It's like inane double presenters on TV news; completely interchangeable except one is short, dark, smiley and ditzy, and the other is tall, blonde, smiley and ditzy. Stop grinning, one of you!

All they do is recite laboured risqué comic dialogue to each other (and the short, dark one garbles her lines - no, I'm not deef) and then do overwrought comedy songs with underwrought 'dance' routines and unintentionally cheap-looking SFX. Nothing to grin about there.

Forgettable, thank goodness.
