[Parks & Recreation]: Way to be, Duck!

Bursar

Andy is the average Pawnee citizen, apparently. Whenever someone talks about "the public," they're always as dumb as bricks.

Knope is the city representative they need. Bobby Newport is the representative they deserve.

Two or three times during the whole season? There are entire episodes where it's not even mentioned.

Couldn't you say that about almost everyone's job in Parks & Rec?

Job? Perhaps. But one of their main character traits? Not really. The fact that he's a musician or musically inclined is brought up way less than Leslie liking candy, or Ron hating the government, or Tom having a weird fetish for stylish stuff, or whatever else.

"Musician" is not a character trait.

Xenogears of Bore

No it's brought up pretty damn often.

It's more of a character trait than "is really really dumb." Or at least it's a more interesting one.

Lucascraft

Andy might be fairly dumb, but he has a heart of gold. He's like the nicest person on the show. He is everyone's friend.

Except that guy who lives with his grandma, which is pretty cool, but he's a dick.

I think it was Greg Daniels who gave the best description of Andy ever.

He's a golden retriever.

He means so well, and loves everyone unconditionally, and just wants to help at any cost without any thought.

Ever since I heard that description, every time I see him thats all I can think of.

GUNBELIEVABLE!

More importantly, Buddy Garrity!

Fudgicles!

This episode was probably the funniest of the season. Paul Rudd was excellent. I also love how the porn star kept comparing herself to Leslie.

Taramoor

I demand an official Duke Silver cover.

They don't mention Ann being a nurse every episode either so... she must not be a nurse anymore.

So Hulu has a directors cut up that adds 5 minutes. I didn't watch the aired version, but I'm assuming the 5 minutes comes from Andy's movie re-enactments and quick debate quips.

Andy's movies were AMAZING.

Penguin_Otaku

Nope, those were there (unless they added more.) His Stalone voice was hilarious.

Evil Multifarious

when the other woman compared herself to leslie and then it zoomed out and they were wearing basically the same outfit, i actually did a spittake with a mouthful of wine

it struck me as hilarious for some reason

then i had to pause and get the windex to clean off my coffee table

Taramoor

How has no one commented on last night's episode of this show?

Jerry got hit with a pie, people! A PIE! And it was one of the greatest pie-in-the-face gags I've ever seen on television.

From now on we will be using code names. You can address me as Eagle 1. Anne: been there done that. April is: currently doing that. Donna is: it happened once in a dream. Chris: codename, if I had to pick a dude. Ben is: Eagle 2.

Oh, thank God.

Do we get the finale next week or is that the week full of Community?

OSUJumpMan

That's the 17th.

Finale is next week, week after that is the Community Triplification

AManFromEarth

Cool. I keep getting them mixed around in my head.

This show has my favorite theme music. The opening credits always make me so happy.

Somebody showed me that damn Star Wars P&R intro last Tuesday, and now it won't leave my brain. I make no promises that you will not hate me if you watch it.

Andy slow motion pushing the pie into Jerry's face had me in stitches.

Between how happy Chris was with his nickname and Ben's response I totally lost it here.

me too

it was also vaguely sexual which made it even more hilarious

No word on pick up yet ? I really enjoyed this episode but it wasn't a great ending episode. If this is the last episode ever I hope they really just cut it after he admits he never wrote the other speech. That would have been a great ending.

I think "Dammit Jerry" is the ideal way for it go out. Everyone's in a pretty good place, except Ann, but whatever.

I see!

I somehow missed the debate episode and kept wondering why they spent the last 10 episodes talking about the debate and then just skipped it.

Andy and April subplot in the last episode was strangely short and pointless. But I didn't really mind it.

Dehumanized

please please please please please please please please order more episodes, NBC

this episode was fantastic, bus tour was fantastic, the debate was fantastic, thinking back on the season i can barely remember any blemishes and i just want a few more episodes so that if this is the end, they can the show on their terms

enlightenedbum

As Sepinwall pointed out, a show with (very slightly) worse reviews, worse ratings, and that they don't own was renewed. Sooo should get that pick up tomorrow.

Great pic, but HUGE.
