Highlights / observations from this week’s episode of Parks and Rec
Nick Offerman (@Nick_Offerman) wrote “Lucky,” and he knocked it out of the park — both as a screenwriter and as Ron Swanson. Just in case, SPOILERS AHEAD.
- “Oh… it says ‘Nympho’ on the butt in silver, sparkly letters. Nympho means you’re addicted to sex, and since it’s on the butt, there are other implications as well — so those are a maybe.”
- Andy looks so weird with a full shave and his hair combed neatly.
- Was Jerry getting high from licking envelopes?
- The Tom and Ann relationship has become somewhat believable — and it’s finally breathed some life into her character.
- Ann’s Russian accent.
- “Oh, she drowned immediately. It’s kind of a sad story.”
- Chris vying for Andy’s professor’s affectations while Ron didn’t even try was a study in the differences between their characters.
- Did Ron eat 3 steaks?
- “I know what tiramisu is, and sheep don’t eat it.”
- Aubrey Plaza was killing it more than usual with her facial expressions this episode.
- “Well, it’s like I always say: it ain’t government work if you don’t have to do it twice.”
- Fun Ben lives.
- “Go buy yourself a Walkman. How much is a Walkman nowadays? Probably more than $20 — here’s $25.
- “Yeah. Seems like we all had a phenomenal evening.”
- “You know Ron, someone once told me that this is not how grown-ups deal with tough situations. Oh my god, Ron, it was you who told me that. That’s crazy.”
- “I’m quite lonely.”
- Tom and Ann went 48 hours without breaking up — until he gave her a present to celebrate.
