* EverythingLooksSexierIfFrench: The logic behind the Conchords’ attempt to impress women with the French language in "Foux du Fafa". They take elementary French words and phrases and try singing them as seductively as they can.

* AffectionateParody: "Bowie" is an over-the-top, yet still somehow spot-on parody of Music/DavidBowie; "Inner City Pressure" takes on the Music/PetShopBoys; "Fashion Is Danger" - the entire [[TheEighties New Romantic]] genre; "You Don't Have to be a Prostitute" - "Roxanne" by Music/ThePolice; "Rambling through the Avenues of Time" - "Piano Man" by Billy Joel; "I'm Not Crying" - "I'm Not In Love" by 10CC; "Hurt Feelings (Reprise)" is a dead-on take of the "Wise Up" [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aimee_Mann Aimee Mann]] montage in ''Film/{{Magnolia}}''.

Acceptable Targets is an index and indexes can't be linked anywhere besides other indexes and trope descriptions (when appropriate).


** The main plot of the episode "Drive By" gears up towards a "xenophobia/racism is bad" aesop, with Bret and Jemaine being picked on because they are from New Zealand, to the point of having to sit in the back of the bus. In the end though, the aesop turns out to be [[spoiler:xenophobia is bad, unless it's against [[AcceptableTargets people from Australia]]]].
