Mel Goes Crazy on Bret and Jemaine at Amerikick

Be careful what you do to Mel in her dreams because she just might attack you at a Tae Kwon Do session.

While Bret and Jemaine acted like angels in Mel's first dream on Flight of the Conchords, they weren't as well behaved in her subsequent dreams. So when Murray brought Mel along to the Tae Kwon Do class to add a female element to his friendship exercises with Bret, Jemaine and his friend Dick Jim, she ended up exacting revenge for whatever B and J did in her dreams.

All that fighting was off-camera but the scene was supposedly shot at Amerikick Karate Studios. While the school has several New Jersey and Pennsylvania locations, Bret, Jemaine, Murray, Mel and Dick Jim were spotted at the Brooklyn Park Slope location at 529 5th Ave. But really, what is Amerikick?

Amerikick™ is a national martial arts association offering professional martial arts instruction and world champion training to men, women and children of all ages.

So it's a little bit like your neighborhood karate studio. Take a look at the Amerikick website and you will see that it is eerily reminiscent of Danny McBride's Foot Fist Way.

But back to the episode. The songs in the show weren't as funny as we like them to be. Can Bret and Jemaine start fighting over women again? It seems like love won and lost brings out the best tunes in the duo. Of course, we loved that Mel had her own song but the "Friends" ditty at the end sort of fell flat. Bring back some "Business Time" please!
