As the series evolved, other main characters also had their own musical interludes, depicted in a similar manner to Jemaine and Bret's own songs. The music video for "Business Time" (from " Sally Returns") depicts a daydream that Jemaine is having. For example, in the first episode, " Sally", the song "Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" is a mix of Jemaine's thoughts and his spoken invitations to Sally to get a kebab and to go back to his place. Some songs use a combination of the styles. Typically, at least once per show, a song is shot in the form of a music video. Other songs serve as the internal monologue of one of the two.
In these instances, Bret or Jemaine sing to another character. Some songs form part of the plot of the show. The songs are built into the narrative structure of the show in several different ways. Jemaine or Bret break into song in each episode. Most episodes center on the five main cast members. Other recurring characters include the landlord of their Chinatown apartment, Eugene ( Eugene Mirman), Bret's short-term girlfriend Coco ( Sutton Foster), Jemaine and Bret's ex-girlfriend Sally ( Rachel Blanchard), Mel's husband Doug ( David Costabile), and Murray's put-upon assistant Greg ( Frank Wood).
Their friend Dave Mohumbhai ( Arj Barker) works at a pawn shop and gives them advice on dealing with American women and culture. Jemaine and Bret constantly fend off the amorous attentions of Mel ( Kristen Schaal), a married woman who is their sole fan and stalker. The two have frequent appointments with their officious and ineffectual band manager, Murray Hewitt ( Rhys Darby), a Deputy Cultural Attaché at the New Zealand Consulate.
The series centers on the day-to-day lives and loves of two shepherds-turned- musicians, Jemaine and Bret ( Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, playing fictionalized versions of themselves), who have uprooted themselves from their native New Zealand to try to make it big as a folk duo in New York City.
