There were lots of great laffs and memorable moments last night, not to mention plenty of casual jokes about the environment because in order to save something you must tease it (Hobbes*), but the one thing that people were talking about more than any other aspect in last night's line up was Al Gore's cameo teeth on 30 Rock. Did you see those things?
Obviously, Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore has done a lot of good in this world, so it might seem cheap to focus on his teeth of all things, but WHOA. What is going on in there? Enhance!

I really can't deal with the Rashida Jones aspect of Parks and Recreation. Don't get me wrong, Rashida Jones is very good at having a really pretty face, and I don't mind that she is on TV, or even on that show. Good for her! But the completely forced conceit that she is a normal nurse who just happens to spend all her time at the municipal building, submitting murinal ideas to the city council? No. I know that I have complained about this before, but it is only getting worse. And this season of Parks and Recreation is great! It is such a funny show that I laugh at when I am watching it, but when last night's episode centered around a Parks Department side project in which Rashida Jones, a civilian, was completely and thoroughly involved in the planning, the inter-office banter, the presentation, and just everything, I kept yelling at the TV screen. Yelling! An adult! A grown man yelling at his TV during a sitcom in 2009. We can do better, you guys. All I want is a little honesty with my mockumentary.
But it was still a good night, all in all, TV-wise.

"Happy" Veterans Day! • What do you say on Veterans Day? Is it happy? No, right? "Sorry (about making you do that) Veterans Day!" Although, this collection of soldiers being welcomed home by their puppies is pretty close to the happiest thing. So, maybe! Close enough!

Cool Abed Films • One of the smartest things a show can do is start a web-series six episodes into its first season in which all of the characters on the show are played by different actors. OK, maybe not the "smartest," but definitely one of the funniest things. You crazy for this one, Community!

When someone says "hey, we are going to broadcast a live Michael Jackson seance on TV," you assume that it is going to be hilarious and ridiculous. What else could it be? Serious and important? No. But OMG, the reality of SkyOne's live Michael Jackson seance is so much more hilarious and ridiculous than you ever could have possibly imagined even if you spent 14,000 years locked away in the highest turret of King Friday's castle trying. I'm pretty sure we could vanquish the Great Nothing on the back of Falcor and still our power of imagination would not be strong enough to imagine this. There is no purple crayon, Harold.

Don meets with Connie Hilton, who tells him that Powell, Putnam, and Loeb is being sold to McCann Erickson (I've heard of them! This show is so accurate in how it uses names that I have heard of!), and for some reason that means that Connie can't work with Don anymore? I'm not sure I completely understand what is going on with Don and Connie, businesswise. But I do understand what is going on with them man-relationship-wise. Don begins to get very angry at Connie, just as Don has been getting angry at everyone lately. He blames Connie for toying with him, and Connie is like "I really thought you were not such a crybaby who cried and wore diapers." Me too! Don seems at the end of his rope! Maybe he is just so tired from sleeping in the dog house every night. Don wipes his baby tears off of his baby face and goes back to the office, but now he is ready to stir up some trouble!

Last night's Park and Recreation really took it to the next level. Between last night's episode and Duke Silver, they have clearly been sitting on a powder keg with Nick Offerman, but instead of gunpowder, it's powdered gold. And laffs. Laff powder. Also, obligatory mention of Patton Oswalt's cameo on Community. But probably the biggest stand out moment from the night was the dick towel from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I'm not sure what it is, but somehow those guys have really managed to tap into the Power of the Internet. Ah-ah-ahhhhhhh. Is it because the people on the show are slightly younger? Is it because the show is on FX? Is it because of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's early word-of-mouth grassroots success? I don't know. I'm not Professor On-Line Integration over here. All I know is that the Dick Towel infomercial is after the jump, and it's mildly NSFW.
