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. Jemaine and Bret constantly fend off the amorous attentions of Mel ( Kristen Schaal ), a married woman who is their sole fan and stalker. Their friend Dave Mohumbhai ( Arj Barker ) works at a pawn shop and gives them advice on dealing with American women and culture. 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 ). Most episodes center on the five main cast members. Jemaine or Bret break into song in each episode. The songs are built into the narrative structure of the show in several different ways. Some songs form part of the plot of the show. In these instances, Bret or Jemaine sing to another character. Other songs serve as the internal monologue of one of the two. Typically, at least once per show, a song is shot in the form of a music video. Some songs use a combination of the styles. 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. The music video for `` Business Time '' ( from `` Sally Returns '' ) depicts a daydream that Jemaine is having. 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 enthusiastic manner in which the characters express themselves through song contrasts with the otherwise low - key tone of the show. Thus, when the characters can not speak about their feelings, the songs serve as inner monologues.

Bobin serves as the show 's main writer and director. The first episode of the series aired on HBO on June 17, 2007. The series received 100,000 views for the first - season premiere scored on Myspace. On August 17, 2007, HBO announced a second season for Flight of the Conchords, originally set to premiere in 2008, but which was postponed to January 2009. Prior to the announcement, Jemaine Clement stated in an interview with The New Zealand Herald, `` ( HBO ) is interested in doing another series but we have to think about it. It 's not a definite offer but they have talked about us starting writing but we 've got other things we want to do as well ''. McKenzie stated that the second season took longer to produce because the band had used most of their material in the first season. In an interview with The Star Ledger, he said `` We 'd need some time to develop new material. It 's like the second album syndrome. It might take a lot longer ''. Shortly after the renewal announcement, Clement stated in an interview that the second season would likely consist of fewer than twelve episodes `` so they could concentrate on `` quality not quantity ' ''. McKenzie and Clement returned to their home town of Wellington to write for the second season, although the writing process was delayed by the 2007 -- 2008 Writers Strike. Filming for the 10 episode second series began in September 2008. The second season of the show premiered on January 18, 2009 on HBO. It gathered 250,000 streams in its first 10 days on FunnyOrDie.com. Unlike the first season, the second season was filmed and broadcast in High Definition. The program is currently seen as an interstitial program on HBO, and some episodes are available on HBO Go. In Australia, the second season of the show first aired on June 8, 2009 on SBS. SBS also made the episodes available for streaming ( from within Australia only ). The DVD of the second season was released in Australia on July 29, 2009. On December 11, 2009, McKenzie and Clement announced that the show would not return for a third season. Clement had previously stated that writing the show took up a great deal of time. During a 2016 interview, McKenzie said they had decided to end the show because it had `` basically stopped being fun. It really was n't a decision about money. It was definitely a decision about enjoying our lives. '' Cast Main characters Jemaine ( Jemaine Clement ) is one member of Flight of the Conchords, who sings and plays bass, and is also Bret 's roommate. He rarely smiles or laughs, and typically overthinks even the most mundane situations. Bret ( Bret McKenzie ) is the other member of Flight of the Conchords, who sings and plays guitar, and is also Jemaine 's roommate. He often wears dated - looking animal T - shirts. Murray Hewitt ( Rhys Darby ) is the manager of Flight of the Conchords. His day job is Deputy Cultural Attaché at the New Zealand consulate in New York City. He has few friends and is estranged from his never - seen wife, Shelley. While he is passionate about the band and aspires to be a successful manager, he lacks basic competence in the field. He consistently fails in his efforts to promote the Conchords, and is not helped by his naivety and general ignorance of the music industry. For example, he opines that `` you do n't hear of professional musicians with long hair, '' and is unaware of the proper name of the bass guitar ( he calls it the `` dad guitar '' ). Mel ( Kristen Schaal ) is the Conchords ' lone fan and stalks them obsessively in pursuit of a romantic liaison, despite the fact that she is married to Doug. She is a Junior Professor of Psychology at a nearby university ( her husband, Doug, was Senior Professor of Psychology while she was a student there ). Mel has been through legal trouble for stalking. Devjeet `` Dave '' Mohumbhai ( Arj Barker ) is a friend of Bret and Jemaine. He works at his father 's pawn shop `` Mohumbhai & Son '' and dispenses off - kilter advice about women and life in America. He still lives with his parents, though he tries to cover it up by pretending they are his crazy roommates who just think they are his parents. Bret and Jemaine overestimate Dave 's expertise with women, and often go to him for relationship advice. Recurring characters Greg ( Frank Wood ) is Murray 's subordinate at the consulate. Murray often uses Greg as a scapegoat, in the face of which Greg remains stoically unflappable. The question of why the obviously - American Greg works for the New Zealand government is left unaddressed. Eugene ( Eugene Mirman ) is Bret and Jemaine 's landlord, who often inserts himself into conversations of which he is not a part. He is often seen involved performing maintenance in the building and in Bret and Jemaine 's apartment. He has admitted to breaking into the apartment at night and kissing Jemaine while he sleeps. Eugene appears in several musical sequences, displaying proficiency in such instruments as saxophone and steel drum. Doug ( David Costabile ) is Mel 's husband and is often seen by her side. At one time, he was Senior Professor of Psychology at a nearby university, where Mel was a student, but lost his job for starting a relationship with her, and is now unemployed. Doug and his family had a restraining order against Mel at one point before he married her, and he also had a problem with addiction at some point in the past. Coco ( Sutton Foster ) is Bret 's girlfriend for part of the first season. Bret and Coco meet while working as part - time sign holders. When she learns that Bret still has feelings for Sally, Coco ends her relationship with him. Coco is the subject of the songs `` Boom '' and `` If You 're into It. '' Sally ( Rachel Blanchard ) dated Bret before the events of the series, and later dates Jemaine. She eventually accepts a marriage proposal from a rich Australian. Sally is the subject of the songs `` The Most Beautiful Girl ( In the Room ), '' `` Not Crying '' and `` Business Time. '' John ( Lenny Venito ) is a mugger and all - around ne'er - do - well. He mugs Bret and Jemaine, but then befriends Jemaine while they share a jail cell. Later on, he and Jemaine stage a mugging of Bret, in an attempt to make Bret look cool in front of a girl. It does not go as planned. John once killed a monkey, of which he is deeply ashamed. Bryan ( Brian Sergent ) is the laid back, uncouth Prime Minister of New Zealand. Showing little interest in the affairs of his country, Bryan prefers to occupy his time with pointless capers in the United States. He introduces himself by saying `` Hi, I 'm Bryan, the Prime Minister of New Zealand ''. He is fond of beer and sleeping, and is easily influenced by recently - watched films, such as Cars and The Matrix. The unnamed Australian Ambassador to the United States ( Alan Dale ) antagonizes the main characters on more than one occasion. One - time characters played by notable performers Fruit Vendor ( Aziz Ansari ), a man who sells fruit outside of Bret and Jemaine 's apartment, but refuses to sell fruit to them because he is `` racist ''. He starts a `` race war '' with Bret and Jemaine after Bret confronts him. The three come to friendly terms after it is revealed that his animosity was due to confusing the boys for Australians. Episode : `` Drive By '' Isabella ( Judah Friedlander ), a man who tries to pawn a cake to Dave. Episode : `` Sally '' David Armstrong ( John Hodgman ), manager of a greeting card company with which the Conchords sign a recording contract. Episode : `` Bowie '' Fruit Stand Patron ( Kevin Allison ), a man who is served before Jemaine and Bret, although he was behind them in line, due to the fruit vendor 's bigotry.
