Absolutely LOVED this episode. Parks And Recreation continues to be my favorite show on television; filed to the brim with laughs, genuinely likeable characters, and a lot of heart.
---
Tom: "It's the one day of the year I allow myself to be selfish."
Jerry: "Ooh cupcakes."
Tom: "Those are for me Jerry!"
Loved Chris's initial reaction to Jerry's daughter.
Tom: "I'm going to talk to you about things you like to take your mind off of the needles. Accounting...trigonometry...stamps, probably."
I really like the direction they're taking Ben and integrating him into the group. It was nice to see Donna and Tom be there for him and include them as a friend.
The intensity with which Andy recited the Goddess oath killed me.
Ann: "But it feels great to have a bunch of little boys be super into me."
Ron: "Before we proceed, do any of you have any dietary restrictions?"
*Group Collectively Shakes Their Heads*
Ron: "Correct, you do not."

Awesome episode, yet again.
"The girls are making a lot of informed comments, but so far I think the best argument comes from Daryl about the candy. We have amazing candy!"

at Ben in the Batman costume.
Nice to see Donna and Jerry get some good screentime.

Great stuff. I liked Donna doing the "Tom Smile" when Ben came out in the Batman costume. I also liked that he wore it for the rest of the episode.

I don't know. I just wasn't feeling this one. Maybe it's because Andy didn't say a word for like 20 minutes of the episode. Ben in the Batman costume was awesome, though.

The Batman costume was great to begin with but when he started crying was when I had to pause for laughter.

I think they're forcing Ben's "nerd-ness" a little too hard, and it doesn't feel as natural as the other characters' eccentricities.

I loved this episode. I liked the part where Leslie and Ann got annoyed with the little girls liking April's arm drawing. I also loved the Donna, Tom and Ben splurging scenes.

When Batman started crying it was too much. I had to pause the show to recover.

I don't mean to make it seem like it's a bad thing. The Tom/Ben stuff has been hilarious this season.

I don't know what was sadder, Crying Batman or Ann being left out and having her own solo pillow fight.
No wait, Crying Batman was definitely sadder. I think I'll be Crying Batman for Halloween.

The show is so good though that I don't really mind stuff like that, not to mention it set up some great jokes.
