Parks and Recreation Season 4 - Page 21 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

So much awesome in this episode.

Literally lol'ed at Chris's reaction to Leslie's present, loved Andy with his hand in the marshmallow fluff, loved Jerry getting stuck behind the campaign poster.

This was easily my favorite episode of the season so far.

Everything I complained about last week was fixed this week -- the sweetness here was way more like the Andy-April wedding than the sticky sap of last week's Leslie-Ben stuff. Not only was it balanced by much better comedy ("Go throw up." "What, I didn't eat any." "GO THROW UP!"), but the emotion landed with a lot more sincerity -- it wasn't as sappy nor did it try to couch itself in anything too ironic. It was just an effortless expression of character all across the board. Really nicely written and acted.

Great episode, first time I really enjoyed the Ben-Leslie stuff.

I umm... may have to make a post in the "when can a man cry" thread in OOT. That ending crushed me. (I love how awkward Ron is at expressing joy beyond a slight smile). So great.

I loved that Rafi was just Rafi (or maybe that actor just only does that character, an odd niche).

Previous episode where Rafi appeared he didn't have a beard if I remember correctly? Feels so right when he does rock it.

Great episode.

It was kind of a poor man's version of the end of It's a Wonderful Life, which does choke me up. Can't say this did, but it was really well done.

I'm not a big fan of rafi but that scene was awesome.

Such a good ep.

Great episode.

Hm - so Rafi actually was the same actor as the last time we saw Dennis Feinstein? (ep where Haverford gets shot down for his cologne idea and they end up dumping it in his SUV) I wasn't sure.

Hopefully the campaign will give some purpose to Ann. I like Rashida Jones but she hasn't had much to do since Ann's break up with Chris. She's just been kind of floating around.

So fine with Ann if all she does is just hang around and smile. You could power a small hedge trimmer with her smile.

100% the bolded part, weirdest part for me was the last part with JR being introduced to his new work place, I would be dying from laughter under normal circumstances but instead I was still thinking about the Leslie new campaign team scene.

I was lol'ing for a good minute at work when JR was like "the same door I came in from?" When he was exiting.

I loved this episode. They have come up with a legitimate reason for the parks and rec crew to work on Leslie's campaign. Lesser shows would have just shoehorned this in in a single episode, but they've let it happen organically over time and this is one of the things that makes this my favorite show on TV at the moment.

This was one of my favorite two episodes of the season. The resurrection of Leslie's campaign was really nicely done.

Our DVR split the two episodes during a great line. I hope I'm getting it right.
