The "Parks And Recreation" Thread

The 6 episode 1st season was not nearly as good as season 2 has been. However, other then the weak pilot I think the other 5 episodes of season 1 were pretty solid and funny. Especially "The Banquet" and "Rock Show".

[BrewCrewForever]

Surprised no one has commented yet on this weeks episode. I loved it, the more Jerry the better!

[DougJones43]

Fantastic episode. I know it wasn't exactly high-brow humor, but when Jerry split his pants and then ripped a loud fart, I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah, the pants rip and fart was good. It was a laugh out loud moment for sure. I just love that he didn't actually get mugged, he fell into a creek while trying to save his breakfast burrito. Vintage Jerry.

[And That]

I don't like Andy Samberg most of the time, but his Carl the Park Ranger character was hilarious. When he started talking and the birds flew away - awesome. Tom chasing the golf cart had us in hysterics for some reason too - I love how they just stayed with the shot.

[Godspeed]

I really like how they were able to use this episode as to fill in the backstory of why Jerry is always the butt of jokes. The part where they were all trying to hold it in as he butchered his presentation with his patented Jerry-ness was classic.

I didn't really like Andy Samberg playing 'Voice Immodulation Guy', but they played it well with the bird scene and his Avatar discussion coming full circle on Pawnee Today. He also had this awesome exchange w/ Tom in the golfcart:

Carl: We used to have three cars actually. The first one got pushed into the creek by some kids. The second one raccoons got onto... there was urine everywhere. And the third one was recently stolen.

Tom: What’s this one?

Carl: This is the second one. The raccoon piss one.

I love this show.

[GAME05]

possibly the funniest episode they've done.

 

Godspeed, I guess I feel the opposite way you do. I thought it was funny that they always ignored and made fun of Jerry for no discernible reason other than he's timid.

[Point Beer Is Best]

Ron Swanson and his infatuation with breakfast foods never tires. "Are we eating soon? I only ate one breakfast."

[BrewCrewForever]

"I already ate it, I could smell the bacon in your purse before I parked my car."

 

Classic.

[Godspeed]

possibly the funniest episode they've done.

 

Surely you haven't seen "Ron & Tammy" then. That's the gold standard for me.

 

 

Anyways, I enjoyed this one too. In a perfect world I'd be able to use April's photoshopped parks directors photo as my avatar. Heck, as my drivers license photo.

 

It felt to me that the Tom/Mark/Ann subplot was just used as something to foreshadow Paul Schneider's eventual exit from the show. Not really believable that either of them would be up for a photo shoot, in spite of the reason given. That's just being nitpicky though. Any episode with a hefty dose of Ron is a surefire winner.

I really made love to the pooch on this one.

[BrewCrewForever]

Yeah, a lot of great episodes. But "Ron & Tammy" is the best this series has had thus far.

[Gobias Industries]

"What? I don't hear hippies."

[Godspeed]

Oh it's been way too long...

 

"I'm gonna need more Ron Swansons"

 

Any Ron-centric episode can do no wrong.

[BrewCrewForever]

Ron: "I need anyone breathing with a pulse and a brain today."

 

Jerry: "Ron do you need anything?"

 

Ron: "No Jerry, go take the rest of the day off."

 

Classic.

[Oldcity]

Kindly get your groin off my desk.

"There are two kinds of diabetes, but only one kind of caring. Type I caring."

[Gobias Industries]

"If I don't get a good five hours, it ruins my sunny disposition."

 

"I have a condition known as sleep fighting."

"Sounds awful."

"Only when I'm losing."

 

Everything that guy says cracks me up.

[jerichoholicninja]

Really disappointed Duke Silver didn't swoop in to save the day but recasting a wicker chair or whatever it was called was phenomenal.

[BrewCrewForever]

Loved the Detlef Schrempf appearance.

[Godspeed]

Loved the Detlef Schrempf appearance.

I liked it too. 'Detlef Schrempf' is also a great song by Band of Horses. Clearly everything he or his name touches turns to gold.

[pitchleague]

Ron Swanson and his giggling antics during this week's episode were golden. As was Andy.

[BrewCrewForever]

I liked the addition of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe to the cast. Both guys should bring even more laughs. And yeah, Ron and Andy were classic on this weeks episode. Next week is the season 2 finale. Can't wait for season 2 to come out on DVD.

[Godspeed]

This whole season has been golden, and I've enjoyed it more than any other show in recent memory.
