Parks and Recreation

720 is one of the area codes around here so whenever I see a business with that number on their sign I think of Tom, Jean Ralphio and Detlef.

Yay!

Oh, poor Leslie. I just wanted to give her a big hug.

LOVED seeing the return of Natalie. And while I knew that Jean-Ralphio was going to say he called her for himself, I found his bro hug with Tom to be sweet.

April and Andy continue to kill me dead. I like how caring and nice April can be with Andy, even though it's still in her own unique way. "Where are the faces?" Ha!

I'm still totally in love with this show.

The look on April's face was AMAZING.

God, I am such a loony tunes Beslie shipper. YOU STEP THE FUCK OFF, SHAUNA MALWAE-TWEEP, YOU STEP THE FUCK OFF RIGHT GODDAMN NOW!!!

Also, god Andy and April are adorable. A BILLION NICKELS!

I enjoy how willing Jerry was to come over and help with this fantasy. "You guys... I need to get home. Gail made a roast."

I LOVED the whole "holding a thousand dollars" sequence. First, I loved that we didn't even hear definitively that that was the wish (though it was pretty clear). Then, it made perfect sense that they would have that much in savings and, yeah, there's really no reason you can't go over there and ask to withdraw it when it's your money. It was awesome that April had the energy and organization to actually take him to get it done. Then the disappointment at holding ten hundreds followed by the cut to a giant pile of ones and his utter glee. And finally, I LOVED how the teller was getting a kick out of it. They easily could have gone with "the teller is bored and jaded," but it was so cute that she seemed amused. "Have you ever seen this much money??" "I just handed it to you!"

That was the highlight for me. But the whole thing was great. As usual I just wanted to hug the whole show.

And finally, I LOVED how the teller was getting a kick out of it.

I totally didn't think she was getting a kick out of it and loved that! So I guess it's great that it works both ways! I loved the look she gave when he asked for it in nickles!

Yeah, it seemed kind of like the teller was like "Oh these crazy people" but in kind of a benevolent way, until he said the thing about nickels, and she said NO.

Hee hee, well, maybe not getting a kick out of it, but tolerantly amused. :)

I also liked where they cut after he asked for nickels. (And also where they cut after he asked where the faces were. Oh, Andy.)

The faces part. Oh my god. I DIED. Chris Pratt did it so perfect.

"I’d like to remake the movie Kazaam with Shaquille O'Neal where he plays a genie and I’d like to get it RIGHT."

I'm glad that I didn't catch any promos for this episode, because apparently they spoiled where Andy and April ended up at the end of the episode, and that was such a great moment.

Loved Ron making a quick buck off of the cult members for his handcrafted instruments.

I knoooooow. I felt a teensy bit bad for her that one time when she tried to chat up Andy and he was all smitten over April, and she was all, "I can't even get the shoeshine guy!" But then I went back to hating her because, stop hating on the shoeshine guy, dude! Mostly I hate her because of how patronizing she is to Leslie.

Tom's description of Ask Jeeves was hliarious.

I'm watching the Producer's Cut now wheeeeee!

BESLIE WHY DO YOU KEEP CRUSHING MY SOUUUUUUUL!!

I deeply appreciate and understand Ann's feelings on the subject of running.

Heh. Me too. My husband loves running; I've tried it, and I just don't get it.

Donna's face when Chris and Anne started oversharing was priceless.

"Jogging is the WORST, Chris." I mean, it's funny because it's true. I know a lot of critics complain about Ann's role on the show, but I just adore Rashida Jones and she can definitely deliver a line if they let her.

I loved Andy trading all of his stuff for lions - to live in Finland! He is a delight.

I think this was my favorite episode this season. Leslie and Ben were both hilarious -- BEN DROPPING THE MIC OH MY GOD -- Ann Perkins cracked me up, and I adored Ron and Tom together. So fun and sweet and awesome.

Andy declining to be Iceland and Japan because they were the villains in The Mighty Ducks 2 and The Karate Kid 2, but wanting to be Germany because they have never been villains made the episode for me. That and his trading other countries to build an army of lions!

The only thing I will be waving is your decapitated head on a stick in front of your weeping mother!!

Oh my.

I cackled for about five minutes after each of the following:

"Oh, I didn't really do Model United Nations in high school, so... OH WAIT, I SUPER-DID." <look of glee>; and,

"We got the freakin' moon, what are you gonna do without tides, Peru?"

Ha ha ha ha!

Donaghy vs. Swanson Fight! I would tune in!

I watched this again last night and I actually love Ann's whole line, "Jogging is the worst, Chris. I mean, I know it makes you healthier, but at what cost?!" But pretty much the entire episode was gold.

They were on fire with this entire episode. I couldn't decide if I loved Ben's mic drop or Leslie's Kruschev shoe bang more.
"You know, if you rearrange the letters in Peru, you get Europe." "No you don't." "Well, you have to rearrange them." Oh Andy.

Ha ha ha ha!

Those both killed me too. This show could not be any nerdier, and I love that.
