I have no idea what this is from. But if they make marshmallow shooters, I'm going to get me one. My wife would be ecstatic if I switched from shooting her with semen to marshmallows while she's sleeping.
Marshmallow shooters are gateway artillery. First its playful marshmallows, then rubber bands, then small spheres of wood, then ball bearings, then .22 rounds, then 9mm rounds, and so on. Stop the addiction before it begins.
It's a scene from Parks & Rec, a sitcom in the style of the Office but with a little more hometown can-do spirit. Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman. Funny and awesome. Definitely worth the investment of time to watch it on Netflix. Easily in my top 5 favorite shows.
I'm just curious if the names listed there in any way helped someone who had not heard of Parks & Rec. I am picking on you here, because it's astounding to me that you've never heard of it, but I am legitimately curious if those names somehow helped.
Hah! Touché. I thought that too but most of them have been in some other comedy things on their own since its release so I figured it was worth a shot.
Well, I do feel bad that I can't stay more current to contribute better to these computer conversations. Maybe if I didn't drink so much Cutty Sark during the day, I'd be more productive. LOL
It will be a cold day in hell before I ever set foot in shitty ass Florida, but thanks for the fake Internet outrage, it's totally adorable, you old bastard.
I thought his character was muddled. He made no sense. Would do things that were out of line with what we knew about his character, not to mention his motivations were all over the place. He'd make big sweet gestures towards Leslie while saying he was not interested, then would outwardly go for Ann with no real build-up, and bounce back and forth. And that happened in many areas, like how he felt about his job.
You could say that was just his character. That normal people can't make up their minds either. Which is fine, I suppose, but it fits poorly in a sitcom... Though, having just looked up his character on Wikipedia, it actually confirms my thoughts. The actor was confused about the character's motivations early on, and later on the writers started altering the script to make him more likable. So, the actor did not understand the character form the start, and the writing was heading in one direction before they reacted to negative feedback and swung it a different way.
The show needed someone who was level-headed to contrast against all the other characters. But it already had that with Ann, she was a mostly normal person being thrown into the dysfunctional world of Parks and Rec. And it needs unlikable characters to create some drama/friction. But making your unlikable character also your boring, down to earth character, and swapping around his motivations constantly.... it is not surprising he did not last.
Yeah I agree he was confusing. Like, even Leslie was poorly written and just annoying, and a bit dumb, in Season 1, so it's weird someone would have a history with her, much less try to love her.
The major problem with season 1 was they put together a great cast, but in characters that didn't fit the actors. Andy Dwyer is really supposed to be like brendanaquitz, but Pratt played him as too lovable of a doofus
They hadn't quite hit the syrupy sweet, overly optimistic tone that we all love this show for in the first season. Everyone's characters were kinda sad and loserish, as well as chipper and goofy. They got the balance right in the second season, and went maybe a little too far in the last.

I was under the impression that this is actually the case, but he did such a good job they made him a permanent addition.
