On the way home, Mel tries to cheer him up but fails miserably. When Bret suggests hanging out sometime, Jemaine invites him along on a dinner date with Sally, but they all feel a 'bit weird' and Bret leaves early. Over the following week, Jemaine spends more time with Sally, leaving Bret feeling lonely and neglected.

Regardless, they manage to film a video for 'Robots'. However, unable to afford real video equipment and robot costumes like Daft Punk, they are forced to rely on a camera phone and disappointing cardboard costumes made by Murray. Murray criticizes Jemaine for dating his bandmate's ex, and discusses the need to increase the group's fan base, which currently consists of only one person: the obsessive Mel ( Kristen Schaal). However, Bret suggests it was because he used to date her himself.īret and Jemaine go to a band meeting with their manager Murray ( Rhys Darby) in his office in the New Zealand Consulate. The next morning, Jemaine blames her departure on 'the whole situation with the light'. Jemaine and Sally leave the party and eventually go back to the band's apartment, but just as they begin kissing, Bret disturbs them by turning on the light, and an embarrassed Sally leaves. In the crowd Jemaine spots a beautiful woman, Sally ( Rachel Blanchard), inspiring him to sing 'Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)'. Jemaine ( Jemaine Clement) and Bret ( Bret McKenzie) attend a party thrown by their friend Dave ( Arj Barker). 'Robots' later was re-recorded and released on the band's debut album Flight of the Conchords, along with 'Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room).' The latter was later nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics. All three songs were released on the band's EP The Distant Future, although 'Robots' appeared in a live form. Several of the songs from the episode, most notably 'Robots', 'Not Crying', and 'Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)' received critical acclaim. According to Nielsen Media Research, 'Sally' drew over 1.2 million viewers. 'Sally' received largely positive reviews from critics. Meanwhile, Murray ( Rhys Darby), the band's manager, helps the band film their first music video, although they cannot afford decent costumes or proper video equipment.

As Jemaine's attentions focus on Sally, a lonely Bret is forced to deal with the advances of Mel ( Kristen Schaal), the band's obsessed-and only-fan. At a party, Jemaine falls for, and subsequently begins dating, Sally-Bret's former girlfriend. In this episode, New Zealanders Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie of the band Flight of the Conchords have moved to New York City to try to make it in the United States. ' Sally' is the pilot episode of the American television sitcom Flight of the Conchords. The episode marked the debut of the Flight of the Conchords song and single 'Robots.'
