Anyways, looking forward to it.

Heard really good things about this episode tonight. Poelher and Lowe are supposed to be really good at the physical comedy. Peolher in a Lucille Ball kind of a way. Cant wait to see it.

:up: as long as it's better than last weeks I'll be happy. (Yeah I know, odd man out on that one)

Ron's look at the camera after Andy showed him the super straw was great.

Leslie: "If I was sick could I do this?"
Anne: "Do what?"
Leslie: "Cartwheels."
Anne: "You're not...doing cartwheels..."
Leslie: "I'm not?"

:lol:

Andy: I typed your symptoms in and it said you might have network connectivity problems.

Yeah, they showed that one on the promos so much, but it was still pretty funny when it actually happened in the episode.

I loved how giddy Andy was sitting in the chair drinking from the super straw.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Ron: "I like Andy. I'm surrounded by a lot of women in this department...and that includes the men."

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

rotfl The looks that Ron keeps giving the cameras are hysterical!

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Andy: "What? I knew it! No, I didn't know it."

Teaming Ron and Andy up is genius.

I like that Tom was actually able to get some things done his own way.

---

Leslie delivering the speech perfectly really caught me off guard. I couldn't stop laughing.

Leslie: "Give it up everyone for Scott Bakula from Quantum Leap." :lol:

The stuff Andy said in April's hospital room was great, especially committing to stay there until she woke up and then immediately deciding it could be a while and he'd come back in a little bit. I like that they don't seem like they're going to drag out the "will they, won't they" for too long with April and Andy.

I'm really liking Ben as well, he's funny and a great match for Leslie.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Wow, I expected a lot more. Still a good episode, but not nearly what I was expecting.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Loved Ben's facial expressions when Leslie's was giving the speech.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Besides everyone going to the hospital for the Flu which was alittle weird ....Awesome episode. Love Ron and Andy and April.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Was Ron Swanson screaming like a girl while chasing Andy in the parking lot? :lol:

Ron BBq-ing in his office....AWESOME

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

"Stop pooping!"

I was wary when they first announced Rob Lowe would be joining the cast last season, but he is fitting in perfectly.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

She was especially good at rubbing boogers on the office equipment.


"I did not know what to buy so I got you magazines and lipstick"


Andy did a good Reggie Wayne impression and likewise for Ron and his Peyton moves lol.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

"The less I know about other people's affairs, the happier I am. I'm not interested in caring about people. I once worked with a guy for three years and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes."

"Are we going to get the same sales tax incentives we used to?"
"That's a very good question, sir, and I would counter with my own question, which is...why is half of your face all swirly?"

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Man, this is such a funny show. So glad it is finally back. The above is one of the quotes I came on to post...definitely a LOL moment for me. I also am enjoy Rob Lowe. Loved him looking in the mirror trying to force his body to stop pooping. Everything about this episode was just plain funny.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Loved Andy absolutely destroying April's desk.

"You had me at Meat Tornado."

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

This show is on fire.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Biggest laugh of the night for me. Glad I didn't see the promos.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Yeah they've been running that promo for weeks now, it's a good line but the ad took the fun out of it.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

Andy is now the funniest character on the show.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

yeah, they seemed to have switched focus from Tom to him. Ron is still great, but Andy seems to get the best lines.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

It was always a tie between Ron and Andy for me. As far as likeability, Andy wins hands down.

I'm far more impressed with what they've done with Andy though. At first, he was totally self-centered and seemed to add very little to the show. In fact, I'd argue that he sort of weighed the show down at first. But the little retooling they did with him in between Seasons 1 and 2, along with Chris Pratt's excellent performance and knack for physical comedy, has made him into one of the show's breakout characters for me.

Re: Parks and Recreation -- "The Flu" -- 1/27/11
 

I forget which episode it was, but there was a specific episode last season that I posted in the thread here proclaiming that Andy was now one of my favorite characters on television. I wish I could remember which episode that was though.

I just found it! This is from the 10/29/09 "Greg Piktis" episode:
