Parks and Recreation

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.

The sight of Andy, April and Ron being completely captivated by the women's studies class was truly beautiful.

and OMG BESLIE!

NOT ENOUGH EXCLAMATION POINTS IN THE WORLD!!!

Squee! I liked how they acknowledged Leslie just pushes too much sometimes, and she became aware of it. It made the ending sweeter. (I was fearing they'd drag it on, Office-style, until the end of the season.) Glad they are not.

And I loved the conversations with Ann and then Ann's conversation with Ben. She is a true friend. (seriously I adore the Ann/Leslie friendship so very much) The bit about the cheesecake killed me.

Oh yes, I'm not a huge fan of Ann, but her best scenes are always with Leslie. They have a great friendship.

Other observation: The Women's Studies prof looked a lot like Melora Hardin (Jan on The Office), but with darker hair. I did a double-take.

I haven't commented in here before because I'm ambivalent about the show and didn't want to rain on everyone's parade, but I have to say that everything concerning the women's studies class made me laugh very hard.

Also, "You made me watch 8 Harry Potter movies. I don’t even like Harry Potter!” “You love Harry Potter! You’ve seen all 8 movies!"

I might have swooned and/or cried at the end of that episode.

Oh Ben and Leslie. Love. But now I'm really worried for her job/campaign.

Andy (and April and Ron) going to college was the best thing ever.

But when do we get to play with the lasers?

Ben and Leslie are so adorable. I wasn't expecting them to get back together so soon, so it was extra sweet.

Everything about that last scene was amazing. I love Ann and Leslie's friendship so much, that they are always there for each other and yet still call either other on their bullshit. And wow, that talk in the little park was awesome.

I love that Ron Swanson loved the Womens Studies class so much. He loves badass women, so we should have expected that.
