David Brent! Michael Scott! Robert DeNiro at some point? Night of a thousand stars! Although, you can march your movie stars up and down the halls of Dunder Mifflin (or Kabletown) all day long and they still will not shine as bright as Andy on Parks and Recreation. How is it even possible that we have iPads and a repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and photo-realistic dinosaurs in the movie Jurassic Park but Chris Pratt still doesn’t have his own TV show? Obviously, the technology is there. Catch up, popular entertainment! Seriously, it would not be that complicated. You could have a half hour of Chris Pratt drinking through a super-straw every week and I would watch it. And if he talked about oligarchies and rolled over car-hoods in the parking lot every once in awhile, bonus! Meanwhile, did anyone notice Hannibal Buress in this week’s 30 Rock? Hi, Hannibal Buress! Easter egg for the superfans. Wait. WAIT. Imagine this: Chris Pratt…and Hannibal Buress…in Their Own TV Show. Even better.
Right?

That made me laugh so hard I missed the next five jokes.
Parks & Rec won.
Oh god. “The floor and the wall just switched places.”
Parks and Rec are just killing it. Though I couldn’t stop thinking throughout last night’s episode “um, guys, I think they make a vaccine for that now?”
When she said that it reminded me of Radiolab’s most recent podcast. THe first story was about a lady who has some directional displacement disability, kind of like face blindness. When she was little she and her friends were playing a game with a blindfold, like Marco Polo on land or something, and they spun her around and took the blindfold off the whole world had turned 90 degrees and she didn’t recognize any of it. Crazy.
Ooh! I haven’t heard that one yet. To the iTunes, Robin!
I won’t spoil it, but the whole episode was good, particularly the last story.
Me TOO Me TOO! (the Radiolab association)
The cab’s meter was in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Do you know the exchange rate?
This is how I will eat waffles from now on.
We’ll always remember where we were when we heard that tornado had hit a handgun factory.
“Two days ago, when people thought of a mudslide, they just thought of getting drunk at an Applebee’s. But now we know it as the thing that destroyed Denver.
“When the birds first started attacking us, we all though it was pretty funny and made Hitchcock jokes. But we’re not laughing now because our laughter excites the birds sexually.
“This devastating wildfire…
“This horrible flood…
“This wonderful flood that put out that devastating wildfire…
“These superintelligent sharks…”
If you guys remember, this cat pretty much invented snarting.
If I’m not mistaken, that was not a snart. That was a hiccart. Or hart. Or Farccup.
Also, what is it called if your lizzing and snarting at same time?
I would have to guess “snizzing”.
I think it would have to be something closer to l’snarzzing
“Last year there was a cyclone in Brooklyn. It destroyed two vintage T-shirt stores and a banjo”
What did you all think of Jersey Shore? I’m watching it right now. 30 Rock and Archer took priority.
We didn’t.
Good to know your priorities are in the right order at the very least.
“We want drugs!”
Community, guys. Killing it.
The sound cut off during all of Chang’s turn at being Drugs. I was so upset! I have to go back and watch it on the internet tonight.
Oh, shit, that was the best part of the entire episode. Watch it and know that you won’t be “DISAPPOINTED???”
I was stomping around the house like “I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! IT LOOKS SO FUNNY!!! YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!”
That happened to me too! I thought it was just my rabbit ears. (Yes, when not using hulu, netflix, or torrents I’m watching network tv with an antenna!) That episode was really lacking for me, and this could explain everything.
I only thought the episode was okay till Chang’s moment, so to Hulu for you.
“I love you, drugs!”
Parks & Rec had me at Meat Tornado.
“Give it up for Scott Bakula from Quantum Leap.”
I don’t doubt that last night’s Parks and Rec will be one of my top five picks for the entire run of the show.
I looked at the meter and it had Egyptian hieroglyphics on it, do you know the exchange rate?
We think the same Ian. We think the same.
Good evening, everyone. I’m Leslie Monster, and this is Nightline.
Also, Archer was great.
“…before the cops show up, or…what do you have in Switzerland? Pikemen?”
Archer had me in dick stitches.
Leslie: If I was sick, could I do this?
Ann: What are you doing?
Leslie: Cartwheels. Am I not doing them?
Ann: No.
Thank you for posting this. The look on Amy’s face is the The Best.
The Adam Scott patented head-tilt is the best.
Best exchange of the night.
That and the homemade chicken soup exchange of love.
“So no to the scarf?” had me in tears.
I want somebody to respond to this with the hug between Andy and Ron. I’m unable…work and such…
Ron’s hair is great. I would venture to say it rivals that of CoCo O’Brien’s.
The start of a beautiful bromance
Can I get some changif?
I shall yell this every time I enter a room.
Kelly Kapoor – Etiquette Bitch.
I am so in love with this bitch.
“If he wanted to rape you, you’d be raped.”
I didn’t see any of it! Was Community good? I bet Community was good! It nearly always is!
My favorites last night were Parks & Rec and 30 Rock, which was just KILLING ME with laughs. Tracy Jordan calling Liz Lemon a ho to the tune of “Uptown Girl”!!!!!! I was losing it.
And, in case no one else has said is, Bobby DeNiro’s cockney accent. Amazing.
has said it. I need it to be the weekend.
I wanted to upvote this gif more than once and now I can!!
“Ew you’re forehead’s all sweaty! Gross! I still like you though.”
Watching her lick that cup was my favorite thing of the night.
I was somewhat bummed they ruined this joke by including it in every preview for this week’s shows. It had me cracking up in advance, but it lost something by the episode.
I may be way behind the curve on this one, but this…
is on purpose, right?
also:
The Real Transvestite Hoarders of Orange County Penitentiary
why does the warden let Lady Extravaganza have so many spoons?
I always love a good 30 Rock LOST joke!
I nearly died when he mentioned Charles Whitmore owning an island.
UGH! You don’t know anything concert_addict, jeeeeeze. Widemore.
I’ll get better at spelling PT, I promise.
GOOD.
..Widmore?
Oh. Jokes. Here’s an obligatory Ron Swanson Breakfast Gif Apology:
*ahem* Widmore.
Oh man, I am so glad that I’m only embarrassed because in jokingly being an ass I was wrong instead of seriously being an ass and wrong.
The Narrator and I also lost it. We missed a good 2 minutes of the show b/c we were laughing so hard.
I too took part in a laughing fit.
Was I wearing a tiara when I came in here? Because if you happen upon it, would you have Lady Pennyface retrieve it and send it post-hence?
Such a throwaway moment, but probably my fav par of Parks & Rec last night was Andy being so self-pleased testing out the super straw in the shoe shine chair.
Found it:
Ron’s smile afterward? That was the first rewind of the episode (certainly not the last).
I don’t want tush lines!
If someone doesn’t find me a PA to feed me baby food I’m gonna take a D in the green room!
THOUGHT I WAS CRYING WOLF THE FIRST TIME, DIDN’T YOU?
BONES! SNIPER!
Her head just went KABOOM!
If I could triple upvote this I WOULD.
Not enough upvotes in all of Videogumland.
And after what the Gravedigger said to Sweets, somebody HAD to blow her GD head off. Sweet little Sweets. I will miss the Gravedigger episodes though–dudski is right, she was a guaranteed great ep.
I kept yelling “Someone help my little Sweets!” At the TV.
Poor little Sweets….
i wanted to give sweets so many hugs! poor thing.
I liked that they did the “everyone needs Sweets to be there for them but they don’t help him” storyline without spending forrrevverrr whining about it. And I love that they finally remembered that Caroline is a character and that she is awesome.
“Next thing I knew, her head was gone!”
God bless that fictional evil bitch for causing GUARANTEED AMAZING episodes of Bones. Someone send her a fruit basket in hell.
GUYS! LADIES! Can we all check back in tomorrow when I’ve watched Bones? Yeah? My housemate is away so I can’t share with him.
I will see you here, pt.
yes! cause I just watched it and no one is here to bask in the glory that was a good Bones episode.
Okay, so. I like that it was a bit more serious than most Bones episodes, and that they finished off a major storyline by leaping into another instead of just endlessly dragging one out.
I still don’t get what ya’ll have been on about with Booth being a dick, except the Max thing. Max, by the way, is the man.
At the end, with his buddy running away while Booth pointed the gun at him, I really wanted Booth to roll over, point his pistol in the air, shooting and going “Ahhhh!” cause he loves him so much.
Who disapproves of my opinions on Bones, Whoooo?!?!
Last night’s 30 Rock made me as happy as a clam that wants to kill a woman.

I thought the Michael Scott-David Brent meeting was cute and all, but as Videogum has pointed out countless times, the concept of the documentary has truly broken down. I mean, when David saw Michael wouldn’t he have said, “Holy shit, I was in a documentary about an office, too!” Anyway, fun episode, I guess. Interesting plot with Jim. Wonder if it hints at him pursuing a different career.
Jim has been fairly absent in the last two episodes of The Office. I’m cool with it.
The scene last week with Dwight, Andy, and Darryl in the car drove me CRAZY. Is there a tiny camera man on the dashboard? Are there four cameras there, so they each have one for close-ups? How are you getting these shots? And why did so many camera men go to the bookstore? I’ve been sleeping terribly since that episode.
I don’t remember the exact quote but I loved it when Shirley apologized to Chang and he made mention of when Chang comes back she should tell him herself. Then he just smiled and stared. So good.
the best thing about these threads is the .gifs.
Which most of our thanks should be sent to Concert_Addict! THANK YOU!
We love gifs!
I meant to upvote this because I too love concert_addict’s gifs but I missed! Apologies!!
I only got a chance to watch community last night, and though there were a few funnies, I sort of thought it fell short.
Yeah but an eh Community is better than a good most shows
Perfect Couples, for instance.
OK, I really don’t like Perfect Couples BUT… The theme is by AC Newman. So I’m conflicted.
I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Community because Emotipenis.
Rob Lowe on Parks and Rec is totally killing it, all the scenes of him writhing on the bed and floor, not to mention the “Stop. Pooping..”. Also cannot say enough how happy I am to have Adam Scott back on my TV (RIP Party Down)
Seconded on the Adam Scott part:
His adorableness coupled with his awesomeness makes Thursdays the best.
His characters’ apparent blazer obsession almost rival’s Jonathan Ames’.
I often wonder why Bored to Death is not discussed more around here.
Twilly, I think you and I should be best friends. It’s clear that you have impeccable taste in both TV shows and crushes, which is the bedrock of any friendship.
Looks like someone inherited Jim Halpert’s camera look.
I very much approve.
I would even go so far as to say improved upon. Gosh, he’s delightful.
My boss was trying to place how she recognized him and we finally decided she knew him from Boy Meets World, which must be where my lust for him stems from…
Also, Veronica Mars.
I am blown away by how handsome baby Adam Scott is. I’d been putting off my love for him, because he was gross on Veronica Mars, but between this picture and the moment on last night’s Parks & Rec when he said, “That was…Leslie Knope” (I cried? I cried), I’m in love.
“You had me at ‘Meat Tornado’”
I want Andy to be my boyfriend so hard.
Say no more. You had me at Meat Tornado.
Everything was truly outstanding but only one show made my change my About Me- “Two eyes, two ears. A chin. A mouth, ten fingers, two nipples. A butt, two kneecaps, a penis. I have just described to you the Loch Ness Monster. And the reward for his capture? All the riches in Scotland. So I have one question. Why are you here?” Also can we get Brian Baumgartner an Emmy for single comedic performance in a scene, he was truly amazing in the sales meeting.
Seconded. He really shined in his scene.
I would watch those 2 minutes for the rest of my life on instant iLife gif loop if I could.
When he said “Creed!” in the group huddle. Holy crap!
I love it. At this point I basically know which comments are new on this thread because I haven’t upvoted them yet. I want to read ALL OF THEM. Last night was a tv blast of enjoyment and hilarity. concert_addict FTW in keeping this thread heavily gif’d.
Guys, can I just say that I’m not digging having 30 Rock on at 10? It seems like having it on that late is making the overall tone of the show a little stale. Especially after the younger shows like Community and Parks & Rec nail it. I wish they would swap 30 Rock and Perfect Couples.
Then I can just go to sleep. I mean, not sleep because I’m not old.Then I could go out to the discotheque.I agree. Bad planning.
Oh yeah, and WHERE WERE TROY AND ABED DURING THE CREDITS? Also, Community on location outside of the college is tripping me out.
Yes, it’s throwing off my Jersey Shore/Real Housewives schedule too. (Listen, everyone, I can’t watch amazing TV all the time! How will I know happiness without despair?) NBC: Stop trying to make Perfect Couples and Outsourced happen.
I feel like they just shoehorned it in between Community and The Office so people would watch. But, frankly, Parks and Recreation was perfect in that slot, and 30 Rock after The Office was also perfect. That lineup was amazing.
Yeah. You wanna make it 1997 again? Stop pushing shitty new shows and stick with the FOUR GREAT SHOWS from 8-10pm.
I love the Thursday TV thread; I get to relive all of the moments that made my heart swell with joy just twelve hours ago. I am not even exaggerating when I say that I laughed at the “stop pooping” Rob Lowe scene for so long that it bled into two other scenes, and my roommate did that uncomfortable laugh that you do when someone else is laughing uncontrollably and you’re totally over it.
Anyone else get a little sad along with Jack when this happened?
Considering what it’s parodying, it IS sad. Media conglomeration’s no joke.
The meaningful, longing glance that started this sequence reminded me of how hot Alec Baldwin continues to be. Am I right, ladies (and gentlemen who like daddy-bears?)??
uarerite, but I’m not sure jack is in any way a bear?
I hope Mel Gibson and his houseguest Jon Gosselin are OK!
I’m going to need a gif of Dennis ‘Hey Dummy”ing. STAT!
Anyone agree with me that last night’s Office was an homage to the BBC version’s “David Brent is a motivational speaker” episode, considering all the running around the conference room and the horrible advice and the Brent cameo and all? They even had a Tina Turner “You’re the Best” reference.
Also, I expected that my reaction to the cameo would be “meh.” And, “meh,” it was. It felt like Ricky Gervais doing an impression of Ricky Gervais as David Brent.
What’s fascinating to me is how completely they rewrote Andy’s character from the first few episodes. It’s like, instead of doing same character/different actor, they did a same actor/different character. And good for them for doing so. Andy is awesome, and early Andy was the opposite of awesome.
Parks and Rec Andy or The Office Andy?
Parks and Rec Andy. The first few episodes he was more selfish loser, less lovable goofball.
Wasn’t most of Season of Parks and Rec kind of terrible anyway?
I actually just watched all of season 1 last week on Netflix and while it’s not nearly as funny as the subsequent seasons, “terrible” isn’t very accurate at all. It’s still better than any episode of Two and a Half Men, that’s for sure.
Can we all agree that the best thing about Kenneth is Kenneth lore? “…the only thing I see when I see when I look in the mirror is a white haze.”
Without a doubt! We need to start a list of all things Kenneth can and cannot do.
And for the record, I loved Andy when he was that creepy Brown guy on the O.C.
I was wondering if that ‘whjite haze’ joke was a reference to I dunno, Dorian Grey or something. I haven’t googled it yet, nor did I at the time due to my laughing and all at the jokes.
his real name is Dick Whitman!
While I was aware of the name Hannibal Buress, before now I’d never seen any of his stand-up. So THANK YOU, Gabe. Sincerely.
Man, how bad was Perfect Couples? I have never seen six more unlikable people in the same show. That being said, I’ve never seen Sarah Palin’s Alaska.
I’m not happy about it, but Olivia Munn is so terrible. It’s like she’s constantly playing a horrible character in a MADtv sketch.
Tried to look up why Parks & Rec makes me so happy, but it said the network has connectivity issues.
the kangaroo is racist.
This part made me happy because it reminded me of Comedy Death Ray radio and their version of the same game.
Is it just me, or are they setting up Ricky Gervais to take over Steve Carrel’s spot when he finishes the seventh season. Who else could replace Michael Scott without totally ruining the show?
