‘Don’t Applaud That!!’ Herc Says Tonight’s Louis CK-Enhanced PARKS AND RECREATION Installment Is Its Funniest Yet!!
NBC just sent over tonight’s new episode of “Parks and Recreation” this morning, which is weird, because they don’t ever send over screeners for shows airing later that day.
I watched and I know why they sent it. It’s as funny as one of the funniest episodes of “The Office,” which is saying something. I was laughing out loud all through it (which, sadly, doesn’t really happen as much as it should when I’m watching sitcoms).
Tonight’s installment revolves around:
a) a Miss Pawnee beauty contest that Leslie and Tom come to judge. April is a last-minute entry.
b) Ann's discovery that ex-boyfriend Andy is living in the pit behind her garbage cans.
My notes describe a dozen genius gags, but I’ll not paste them here for fear of spoiling. Louis CK as a cop hot for Leslie has a great bit toward the end, but he’s far from the only reason to tune in tonight.
By the way, I thought "Community," with its subversive "old people are senile, racist and dangerous" message was hilarious last week as well.
Watch, you swine!
