Leslie: "Get some movies that people like, like Reese Witherspoon, maybe some Michael Bay..."
Jason Schwartzmann (as head of Pawnee Videodome): "No no...no."
HAHAHAHAAHAH!
I usually don't find find this show to be as hilarious as everyone else seems to but this episode was firing on all cylinders. Great writing and spot-on performances. And both A, B and C storylines were perfect.
I have to add tho, John Ralphio is the single most obnoxious character ever created, I despise every moment he is on screen.
The sister however was brilliant. (Klepto, nympho and pyro)

Loved it. It really makes me hate what's happened to the Office and Community even more to see this show still strive. I loved when Donna busted in singing with Ann and April. Ron laughing at Leslie's bailout result was also great.

I loved Perd, as usual:
"It was a heartwarming story, but it's just not believable... which is why I give E.T. one and a half stars."

Who's the biker guy that shows up sometimes? The actor? He looks familiar. But I can't put my finger on it.

Slight nitpick, I believe he said, "I know what I'm about, son."

Loved Perd's movie review show. 
Jason Schwartzmann was pretty great in that role. Ron's explanation about the movie owner failing and getting a bail out was perfect Ron Swanson, as was him showing up at the town hall meeting. Ron's laugh after it converted to the porn shop was perfect.
Gerry getting lost in his thought.

Best episode of the season along with the bachelor parties episode and wanted it to go more than 21 minutes.
Jenny Slate the former SNL star a good addition to the cast as Tommys GF.
Dong Swanson lol. At first I thought that was Perp in the porno.
Brandi Maxxxx (yum)

Funny episode.
I noticed a continuity error where the kid pays the $15 for the jacket - has both hands on the jacket he's wearing, then it cuts right to him giving Tom the money. Also, doesn't Tom take the kids name down or have a membership card to scan or something - otherwise the kid just bought a jacket for $15.

Wow, one of the best episodes of the entire series. So many great moments; from Perd's review, to Ron explaining the free market, the girls singing, the meat platter, the porno movie... Even used a gimimmky guest star as an interesting character that felt right at home with the world and tone of the show. I'm sorry I deleted this so hastily, as I'd probably watch it again in a couple of days.

Loved it, lots of great moments that have already been mentioned. Really like Mona Lisa - the female Jean Ralphio is terrifying and I love it. "Gotta wax my beave"

Re: Parks & Recreation - Bailout - 3/14/13
The video store thing really got me going. Leslie wanting to screen Finding Nemo over Paths of Glory almost pissed me the hell off legitimately! And that idiot video store guy spoiled the movie for his audience. Even Andy sleeping through it....man! Wished they'd mentioned Ikiru in addition to Rashomon, since it features a freaking Parks and Rec worker. Perd's review was great. Fun look at movies in this show though.
Anyway, that Ron laugh was the best part for sure.
