PARKS and RECREATION aka "Everything's coming up Amy"

we'll take the meat and the crows

just so funny. and the office was funny too. so you got community/office/parks&rec grand slam. paul reiser show not so much...

Henry Rollins was pretty funny, I thought

I skipped Reiser to watch American Idol results, but I guess I'll catch up on hulu to see Rollins.

Wait, what does he call his car again? A go-go buggy or something?

the go go mobile!

this whole episode killed me. so great!

the go go mobile!

Yes, that's it! I'm gonna totally start using that in everyday conversation.

i want to be ron swanson.

It's frightening how close Nick Offerman is to Ron: http://www.offermanwoodshop.com/

also Andy with his air punch "Spaghetti!", kung fu kick "Cookie!"

He is fantastic. Oh and "What does this do?" with the bulk coffee dispenser...Im always on the verge of doing that in the local food co-op

omg april's reactions to her husband slayed me.

Tom's litany of alternate names was a total goldmine. When planning our meals this morning, I suggested making long-ass rice for lunch.

Also lol at Tom's 26 dating profiles differentiated by middle initial. When Leslie said "N", I knew EXACTLY what was about to happen...but it was funny anyway.

for "favourite movie" i put BOOKS

This show is on fire lately

the delivery of "I buy all of my food here... and most of my stuff!" was immaculate

As per Johnny Fever's comment (albeit about the "N") you know it's coming but you lose your shit anyway. 12 hours later and I'm still crying with laughter over the "...and most of my stuff" delivery.

That moment with Ron being given fakon and repeatedly chucking it in the bin is just perfect, AND THEN April joins in. This show.

ansari's "Where did you go, boo? come back to me" to leslie scene absolutely killed me

not sure if they've used it before but i lolled at hoosiermate.com

This last episode was so good because it had minimal Adam Scott in it.

despite, you mean

No, Adam Scott is turning into the show's Jim Halpert, except the only thing he's doing is staring at the camera w/o ever really being funny in other ways. Sucks too, because I like Adam Scott, but he's really becoming an irritant on P&R.

To you maybe

He's been funny. The whole Adam is awkward on TV/public speaking etc episode a while back was amazing.

I'll agree on this.

I love the teen mayor/major fuckup backstory on him too...

I honestly haven't noticed him staring at the camera much. I like what he's doing, though I agree with those who think he's capable of more.

this and the last episode are the first two where i felt like scott was being used well at all

really the only time Adam Scott is irritating to me on this show is the stupid little gesture he makes in the opening credits

is there a youtube montage of jim from The Office giving those looks of his to the camera? how many years can a person do that?

(whenever i see jim or pam in an ad for a movie i barf. they should never ever be allowed in movies.)

pam was pretty funny (and really hot) in walk hard

^^^

you know who would have been even funnier and hotter in that role in walk hard? almost anybody else on earth!

I can confirm that I would not have been any hotter than Pam in Walk Hard.

John Krasinski was awful in Away We Go. He has the emotional range of a urinal cake. But then, that movie pretty much sucked all around.

they are t.v. people. they should know their place in life.

Was going to say myself.

otoh, loved it when leslie says at dinner, "Just between you and me, Tom," and he looks into the camera for a beat before saying, "okay?"

not w/ you on the 'hating Jenna Fischer' tip, skot: her genuine charm in front of the camera made Jon Krasinski seem way more tolerable and for far longer than he would have otherwise...

Adam Scott is nowhere near the camera-looker that John Krasinski is in The Office, but the few times he's done it (in the opening credits and a couple times in the epilogue) just make me want to walk him aside and say "I get it, okay? But there's probably a way to do what you're doing without looking as much like an 'I'm above all this' asshole."

But he kind of did it in Party Down too. Not that that's an excuse, but with a whole cast of somewhat eccentric characters Adam Scott gets to be bemused onlooker.

And doesn't April do this a lot too? Or she did until her and Andy hooked up.

Nobody did it in Party Down, really. Wasn't faux documentary like P&R and Office. Some of April's best scenes involve her looking knowingly at the camera imo. It's the one reason I forgive P&R for copping that Office style.

I dunno. Just the few times that has happened it rubbed me the wrong way. He's fine as Ben the rest of the time, though the Ben/Leslie thing still seems a little forced as he really hasn't done much that's charming or endearing yet.

agree with that. though I'm glad they are not doing this, it seems like Ron & Leslie would be the natural unrequited romance storyline in the show to me.

Adam scott is a good comic actor, Krasinski is barely an actor, full stop. The looks at the camera don't really bug me, but I can get why ppl might get worn out seeing it. He's great in those scenes like the media blitz episode and the bit with Lil Sebastian.

Scott >>>>>> Krasinski for sure

I avoided this show for a long time fearing an 'Office' clone but it is in fact far superior. Huzzah.

It WAS a lame Office clone for most of its abbreviated first season, but it came back in its second year with most of the similarities stripped out and a bunch of funny in its place.

April/Andy wedding >>>>> Jim/Pam wedding for sure.

yes totally

Yeah I skipped the first season.
