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

i like the show but i don't get "laugh out loud funny" from it -- it's like oh tee hee how cute/clever more often than not imo

oh man, I literally cry with laughter in nearly every episode

Exactly

I've def lol'd @ this show

its really funny.

HAHAHA Ron in the chair

Is Amy Poehler pregnant?

I can't wait to see who Tammy 1 is if she sent Tammy 2 running the other direction.

omg

Ron swiveling in his circular desk made me CRY I was laughing so hard
I really want to do this at work. I need to find a way to form my desk into a circle.

also "take the Number 12 bus to Satan's Butthole"

CUBE BUTT CUBE BUTT CUBE BUTT

Thatcher & Reagan...

you're going to piss tears

surprised at how much of a spoiler that actually ended up being

omg cliffhanger!! So much going on at the end.

One thing I really noticed this week (but have been dimly aware of for a whole) is that the show will deliver a simple gag with a simple punchline and then Andy will react in a way that magnifies it tenfold. He is so so great.

oh fuck it I love everything about this show, absolutely everything

Ron swiveling in his circular desk made me CRY I was laughing so hard

THIS is a perfect example of them maximising the comic potential of a character. How do you make Ron unhappy? Take away his hidey hole and force him to be accountable to everyone. I know I keep using words like "brilliant" but seriously.

"Order stocks! Buy buy buy!" messsed up that quote but Administrative Assistant Andy is fantastic.

"REMIND... TOM... ASK... SOMETHING"

AA otm; Andy was in top form in those episodes

Great little touch: using "Wild Horses" & "A Horse With No Name" (plus Andy's song) as source music during the reception.

It kinda was, but still didn't really blow the fun imo.

I didn't like sad existential Chris. He was bringing me down. But everyone else was in A+ form.

this is how Elanor ROOSEVELT would kiss

Ruth Bader Ginsburg lololol

i'm not a regular viewer of this program but i laughed to beat the band @ it last night.

"Why don't you live your life like the cow from that video?"
"He's a horse..."
"Yeah, because he followed his dreams"

Detlef Schrempf is always gold

i liked ron's breakdown for chris of everyone's role in the office. he does that sort of thing a lot, where two characters will have a silly conflict that they're incapable of resolving, so he'll intercede and resolve it for them.

yo guys, I heard a major character DIES at the end of the season. Is that true, Johnny?

major? maybe not. beloved? immeasurably.

RIP lil dude

spoilergate update: spent entire episode noticing the awful fake mustache they put on offerman

SHOW RUINED

yeah, this happened to me, could not see anything else onscreen in his scenes that ep

Me too.

Still, I only feel about 0.9% bad about bringing up the ad I saw and 99.1% okay with it.

we know

I <3 you, AA.

rob lowe's been killing it this whole season, hope they keep him around forever. also, fyi, it was kind of a nice detail how his whiteboard just said "lagom" without any further explanation.

I predict that Tom's 720 company will run Leslie's campaign.

720 will be bust by the end of the week, let alone a year away.

yep. detlef schrempf otm!

still, I'm prepared to forego realism by a fair distance if it means more time spent w/ jean ralphio..

Not to dampen folks's enthusiasm, but I was under the impression that the creation of Entertainment 720 marked Tom Haverford's exit from the show.

There's no news about him leaving the show...

Semi-spoiler... - Entertainment 720 is going to be a big arc early next season, according to Michael Schur.

That's cool, definitely wouldn't want him to leave as he's one of my favorite characters.

kinda feel like Tom/Jean-Ralphio are gradually tipping toward Entourage levels of "wait am i watching a knowing satire of douchebags or am i just watching douchebags?"

my sister feels that way about tom but i just love aziz ansari's big round face and shoutiness to really find him douchey.

i also wish andy was my friend and like him more than some of my irl friends

ha j-r is like literally this show's funniest character </in character post>

jean ralphio is a great character. better than tom but i wouldnt want him as a regular. andy is my absolute fave "leslie i searched your synonyms on the computer. looks like you have... internet connectivity problems"

i mean symptoms

Pretty sure Ben Schwartz is attached to that upcoming Sarah Michelle Gellar show on CW or another picked up pilot for the fall, so he probably won't be in every episode

he was the best thing on the terrible undercovers show too, besides the hot girl

aaagh seriously i wanted to scratch my eyes out whenever he came on screen on Undercovers
