Why is Jermaine insisting on Bret being grounded in the real world, concrete actions etc. ?
After watching that, I'm even more sure "Jemaine" (from now on, I'll put their names in quotes when referring to their characters) is an S and "Bret" is an N.

You haven't looked into the SP temperament very deeply have you?
I have a lot of xSFP friends.
I know how you guys roll.

They seem to have a lot of jokes about "Bret" doing something ridiculous and "Jemaine" pointing out how ridiculous it is:

...and they don't love trying/doing/creating new things?

They love doing new things. But 95% of the time, they'll have a glimmer of an idea and I'm the one who expands on it.

What exactly was so innovative about the show anyway?
They were a parody folk act, that after being rejected by New Zealand tv networks took a huge punt on the US market, the show is just an expansion on their well established stand up act.

I know ... stage act --> radio show --> television. I've been a fan for years.
I actually think their stage show is far more innovative (and funnier) than their television show. But their tv show is innovative for television. They took "The Monkees," thrust them into a modern setting, and completely dried out the humor. But the way they did it was dazzling. There were so many ways they could have failed, but they pulled it off.

But I do still see N bias in these forums quite often...
Oh dear. Sarah Mk II, anyone?
A lesson in logic:
Most of the people on this forum happen to be N.
Being N means that one prefers iNtuition over Sensing.
Most people on this forum have an N-bias.
Alert the media.
Your conclusions however, do not follow.
I'm sure I never meant to suggest that Ss were in some way inferior because our tastes differ. In my experience, they haven't appreciated the show. My dataset was limited. This thread suggests that the appeal is more universal than I imagined. That's cool.
I'm sure I'm not invested enough to debate about what type they are. They are absurdly exaggerated caricatures, after all....
Who, but who, is Sarah Mk II?
I'm an ISFP, recall? I do need a lesson... :hi:
Obviously, but you don't have to be so bigoted about it.
Kidding, I know you weren't being that way...Wow, no NT ever told me THAT before. *chuckle*
You're right. Sorry I got touchy.

Why is this thread so S vs. N? It seems like people are taking things personally for some reason. It's just a thread about a tv show.

New personal rule: Never discuss theory with anyone who isn't NT, NF, or ST. It seems like SFs don't look at any of these things with detachment.
That's a good quality for most activities, but not for abstract handball.

How do you detach from the very essence of your self (personality)?

It's S vs N because's N's rule and S's drool. O'doyle rules!
Favorite quotes from this season of Flight of the Conchords was in the song done like the piano man in episode 9 with:
"She was comparable to Cleopatra"
-Quite old
"She was shakespeares Juliet"
-Oh 13?
Episode 4:
"If you kick my dick, I won't break your balls"
and
"If you get murdered I'll avenge your death"
Episode 9:
"Stand with your feet apart, like your balls are on fire."
I love the recurring themes!
When Jemaine becomes a prostitute.......the whole episode was awesome!
The show is almost funnier after the fact, than while watching it!
