"Parks and Recreation" Thread (new show from The Office US creators)

This show is actually pretty damn funny, probably the third-best of Thursday nights now IMO (after Sunny and Community). I was reluctant to give it a chance after the first season, so I'm guessing that's why it's not doing too well in the ratings?
 
Goddamn this was a great episode. "I don't like pain, I hate math...and I'm stupid!"

The 90 minute wall of this, Office, and 30 Rock is comedy murder. (Sadly, Sunny is a bit tepid this season.)
 
Another awesome episode. I wish there was a little more hunting and less of them all in the house but still good. Andy once again kills it.

And it's funny going back in the thread seeing everyone talking during the show. Half of the posts lose all meaning. :lol

did you SEE the DENNIS system? :lol
 
I think that was pretty neat how they just let Amy freestyle for like two mins... :lol

She was pretty good.

I mean when she was being interviewed by the ranger... the way they cut it, it felt kind of like improv...

120m, Community's knocking it out of the park week after week.

Pretty sure he's referring to Amy Poehler's seemingly ad-libbed reasons for missing and shooting Ron.

Meh. I've given it four chances now. It has yet to make me laugh.

It's not not funny, it's just not as funny as it used to be. Thankfully they've ditched the high concept stuff from last season but they're still sorely lacking in those epic five minute rambling arguments between all four of them. That's where the Sunny gold is.

I think it's decent. Though I have no idea why people act like it's the second coming of Arrested Development or something. I think that thread's creepy, obsessive love with one of the actresses is clouding their judgment.

This. It just apes Scrubs with fast-talking selfish characters trading insults until they realize they should do the "right" thing in the last act. With less likeable characters and one of the creepiest threads on gaf.

The cast just strikes me as the walk on cast-offs from other shows, character ideas too dumb to make it into a proper comedy. But hey, people like it, that's kewl. It's just on the wrong night to be Just Okay, at least for me. Especially with Russell pulling some proper Desmond Hume shit on Survivor this season.

How is there like twenty million Community avatars and not ONE GIF OF RON'S BUFFET MONTAGE.

Something is very VERY wrong here.

I haven't had time (I've barely been on Gaf lately) but I can start making some gifs next week maybe.
