Great episode. Loved the painting plot and Ben trying to turn April and Andy into adults. Theifestyle cracked me up.

I liked the resolution with Jerry painting two paintings. It was pretty clever and I didn't see it coming.

Tom: "Gale, I assure you...Jerry only has eyes for you. And pound cake, am I right?"

April: When you talk to me in Spanish use the formal 'usted'.

That whole thing about her rules of living at Andys place was hysterical.

Great episode, as usual.

Great episode. Love the subplot of Ben rooming with Andy and April and trying to teach them things. I cracked up at the idiot news guy who wondered if centaurs were real.

I've got to get a poster of that painting - Fat Baby Tom was hilarious. Another superb episode.

Andy and April really are perfect together. When he started shooting Ben with the marshmallows, I totally lost it.

Many of the best moments have been mentioned, but I liked Leslie's exaggerated pass in front of Ben with the painting as she was leaving Andy and April's place.

And Perd always makes me laugh too. They really nail that small-town media vibe.

Andy: "We leave the TV on all day long, so that burglers think we're home when we're not. Which is my idea. That I'm trying to patent."

at April and Andy eating turkey chili off of frisbees. Ben trying to teach April and Andy to be adults was hilarious.

This show is on fire.

Both silly and sweet: "If you don't think I'm not going to buy a marshmallow gun to shoot you in the face while you're sleeping, then you're the dumbest woman I know"

Good episode. Ron's speech at the art show was great.

On what should have been The Office's night of glory, Parks and Rec put on the better show.

I literally just busted out laughing again at my desk when I remembered the awkward pause after the porn star defined pornography. Absolutely perfect.

"You've been in over 200 adult movies, some of which are very, very good."

Parks and Rec had really been in a class by itself this season. Really fantastic.

I enjoyed this episode, but I was still a little upset after "The Office" and had a hard time paying attention at the start. I'll have to re-watch this one.

Maybe I missed it, how did they get the second painting? Are we just supposed to think he cranked it out in an hour or so?

Ron's speech was amazing, and the reveal of Jerry's painting had me rolling. I think what really sells this show is the way the cast interacts together. The look on Rashida Jones' face when Leslie said to keep the painting up was perfect.

^ You mean her cleavage looked good. It's an important distinction.

It's funny seeing how Andy and April live.

However, they seem to be making Andy look more dumb and child-like than he was when the show started. It's hard to imagine Andy being this way when he was living with Anne.
