Someone is going to need to gif Ron leaving.

 

[shadyspace]

My "friend" Leslie Knope? Why didn't she get mad at that?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Ron jetting with the BBQ had me roaring. Omg, lol.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

My "friend" Leslie Knope? Why didn't she get mad at that?

Pretty sure she was just upset that nobody respects Pawnee like she does, and that's when she couldn't hold it together anymore.

 

[shadyspace]

Isn't it standard operating procedure for a SO to get mad when they get introduced as a "friend"? Kinda weird. Eh, probably a political legitimacy thing.

 

[Kandinsky]

I love this show, but Traeger needs to go, cant stand him anymore.

Also is that Mose Schrute? mind blown.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Holy shit at the gun. :lol

 

[StriKeVillain]

RIP lil Tommy.

Chris can get grating for sure but I like his relationship with Ron.

Well that was a great return. It did a lot with setting up the dynamics for the season to come (mainly Ben and Leslie trying to deal with being apart while Leslie tries to make her win worth something, but also Ron having to actually do some stuff in the department with Leslie and April gone) but it didn't spend too much time doing that to preclude hilarity. Andy might never get old. When you build an adult kid that well, you're allowed to spend seasons just having him being silly. Because it's hilarious. Leslie was good too, between Hot Rebecca and loving Ben's butt a lot. Glad they broke off the Ann and Tom part right away. The bbq stuff had a nice handful of jokes, some of Ron's seemed a little ridiculous meme-y though. Whatever, telling kids to drink watered down beer is funny.

I wasn't down on season 4 like some of you. Yet I'm looking for season 5 to trend up a bit. What with it being maybe the last season and with some new funny writers (like Megan Amram), I want the show to go out (?) with a bang.

 

[Grinchy]

When Ron was asked if there'd at least be corn, and he stared intently for a moment before saying "...no" I almost died.

This show is great. I really hope it doesn't get canceled if the people making it actually want to keep making it (unlike The Office).

I'm pretty sure that's it. "Girlfriend" sounds kind of immature in that setting.

GET OUT

 

[Plinko]

The "amalgam" conversation was hilarious, as was Ron's objection to vegetables.

I need a gif of the scene where Ron is asked about the corn and just says, "NO."

 

[shadyspace]

The corn joke was out of the character. Corn is American as fuck.

 

[Mariolee]

"...and that's what makes you...an amalgam. Nailed it."

lol that had me rolling. Episode was sooooo good.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

SHIT ITS BACK?!

so awesome I hadn't been checking. I love it when this happens.

 

[suplex]

The corn joke was out of the character. Corn is American as fuck.

Corn might be American, but it's not meat.

 

[Mariolee]

Oh shit, almost forgot one of my favorite lines:

"LESLIE, IS THIS THE TRAIN FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE 3?!?"
"Andy, get down from there."
"I THINK IT IS!!"

I hate Audrey Plaza

 

[big ander]

I hate Audrey Plaza

It's Aubrey and you suck

 

[PinkCrayon]

Pretty good episode. I'm getting a little sick of Chris, but I did have a good laugh when he brought the raisins out.

 

[BanGy.nz]

I hate Audrey Plaza

I will fight you.

 

[dead souls]

Meh, still mired in the season 4 mediocrity for me.

This show just isn't very funny anymore, most of the characters are too broad.

 

[brianjones]

Meh, still mired in the season 4 mediocrity for me.

yep

andy full retard

ann and tom are annoying

only funny part for me was ron driving off with the grill

this and office were both pretty bad tonight.. put em all out of their misery tbh

 

[Hours Left]

Thank goodness they broke up Ann & Tom again.

It was an okay opener.

 

[inm8num2]

First Kid reference - solid.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

DAMN I MISSED IT!

ARGHHHH.

Going to set the DVR now so that i won't ever forget again. Damn my sleep deprived self.

Awesome, love this show!

 

[Divius]

Glad it's back, fun episode!

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

The unexpected John McCain cameo made me laugh.

- Poniewozik on tonight's premiere: Parks and Recreation Goes Big and Goes Home *minor spoilers*

Aw man. With The Office, 30 Rock, and Community ending, I really hope this doesn't get canceled.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I thought it was okay, but not great. It didn't have me laughing as much as previous seasons, but it's just the start.

 

[Ashhong]

What did Ron say after the "know the pleasures of meat" line? My wife can't shut her mouth.

solid premiere I thought. Love that the show is back!

 

[SamVimes]

Pretty boring, season 4 level.

 

[Steelyuhas]

"There will be no fucking vegetables."

I was rolling on that one.

 

[gdt]

Great episode.

Parks train just don't stop.

 

[Candeldandel]

Chris can get grating for sure but I like his relationship with Ron.

I also noticed this! I like it, too. Where as a lot of people just like Chris right off the bat, Ron is resistant so Chris has to work harder for it. Also, even though he's a pain, he seems like a decent enough boss (in my opinion).

Worth a quick look for a couple chuckles.

 

[ThanksVision]

"Here we are making out in Ben's office... Here we are making out in"

so funny

 

[jiggle]

loved it of course
but wish it was longer or focused more on leslie in DC

 

[Ashhong]

I actually thought Ron had a permit for slaughtering a pig in public. I should have known better :lol

 

[Mariolee]

How did people not love this episode? Had me rolling!

Spoiler

I do realize it's ok to have different opinions than mine before someone replies, "How do people have different opinions than me!?" or something equally obnoxious

Little bit spoiler-y, but I think just enough to get me really excited for the next few episodes.

Spoiler

Old people sex ed episode sounds amazing.

That's funny that Leslie's office sets truly look into one another.

- TV Guide: Exclusive Videos: Parks and Recreation's Andy Dwyer Presents the Facts — Sometimes

If you've ever wanted an awesome tour of Washington, D.C., then Parks and Recreation's Andy Dwyer is... not your man.

In these exclusive never-before-seen videos shot while the NBC comedy was on location in the nation's capital for the season premiere, Andy (Chris Pratt) acts as tour guide around Washington, D.C. to present the facts — which are often really wrong. Still, he goes on the hunt for an underground city, picking up clues (aka money) out of fountains. And since he's in D.C., Bert Macklin makes a surprising return!
