"Owwww! I complimented yeeew!" (sounding like a female bird again)

"Holy shit Leslie, that was awesome!"

I lost it at that line. Incredible.

Andy acting out movies was one of my favourite things this show has ever done.

I also loved Andy's primal scream after Leslie tells the crew to get to work in the opening scene. Turns out April and I enjoy the same thing, sleeping. Who knew!

Andy was top notch.

Chris Pratt caught Aubrey Plaza off-guard a few times. She couldn't stop laughing at him.

I loved how at first all the donors were getting bored with Andy acting out movies, but by the end they were all enthralled.

Rudd also caught me off guard with the "That was awesome" line, and I was definitely howling at that. Loved this episode.

I loved the porno actress who looked and dressed exactly like Leslie.

I thought there would be 5 new shows after the break but there are only 2 shows left?

That sucks.

Amy Poehler should write and direct more episodes.

Ron's speech to the donors was classic Ron Swanson.

Was there any Jerry in this ep? That's the only thing I could think of that was possibly not top notch.

There was one brief scene where he was watching the debate with a bunch of nuns.

I would love to know the setup for him being there. But then again, it's probably even funnier not knowing.

And I still don't buy Ann and Tom together. I wish they'd just drop the possibility of getting them back together again.

Like Leslie, I know what it's like being the only woman in a room full of men.

Andy saying the guy with the ripped-out throat died because he could no longer eat killed me

Andy's reenactments were comedy gold

I LOVED this episode, but the Tom and Ann thing has to DIE. It is horrible to watch and is completely unbelievable.
Meh, I was hoping she'd go back to Chris....

LOVED the last bit with Andy reenacting Rambo (2008). Awesome!!! Also, there's an extended cut on Hulu...
