The reason "I need a shirt" is funny is because it isn't even a part of the song. Jemaine obviously doesn't know the song either. You're probably just too young to remember Simon and Garfunkel.
Why is "I need a shirt" so funny here? Is it because he is repeating the verse with the cambric shirt in another way? Can you explain it to me, maybe it's a pun I don't get because I'm german. :)
@Starkey2006 I wonder if you americans understand german jokes. It's no question of 'sense of humor' or 'no sense of humor' it's more a cultural thing and the skill to understand persons who aren't speaking loudly, clearly or slowly. Comprehend jokes in a foreign language is nearly the most difficult thing because it's not often reasonnable to translate every single word. I don't want you to get my point because I think you americans don't know how it is to deal with another language.
@quboot What a terrible thing to say... lumping all Americans together as insensitive clods. I'll bet there are German folks who don't get German jokes. I know my American mother rarely understands the humor in my jokes. My Filipino wife doesn't either. I think I am hilarious in any language.
@fuckamericanidiot woops, i just realized the person who pointed out they're talented was actually you in response to someone else's answer. But anyway, that's still my guess as to why they were so off-key.
@fuckamericanidiot I think even though they're actually talented musicians, as someone else said in response to this, that it's actually because they don't seem to really know any of the song except the chorus that everyone knows and it's kinda hard to harmonize when you're both making it up as you go along. lol. :-)
"~ Well here's the thing..: The actual lookalikes don't look anything alike! And they don't look like the guys they're supposed to look like..! AND, they're busy!! So I went in there, and you know what, you look just like THEY do!
~ So we look like some Simon and Garfunkel lookalikes, who don't look like Simon and Garfunkel...
~ That's right... what a blessing!"
This scene is the perfect example as to why I think Murray Hewitt is one of the funniest TV characters ever. Amazing delivery, Rhys!

Haha so funny how Jermaine changes his tone when he hears 50 dollars (obviously not a lot of money):
Murray: "So, you happy to do it?"
Jermaine: "No, clearly not"
Murray: "Ok, well I have to put that 50 dollars back then"
Jermaine: "50 dollars?"
Murray: "50 dollars EACH"
lol I love this show
