Well, you guys, it is that wonderful/terrible time of the year again. Wonderful, of course, because all of our shows are pulling out all the stops and delivering THE GOODS. Terrible, of course, because they are doing this to end on a high note before they go off the air for the summer. Yay! Boo! So, Will Ferrell ended his run on The Office. Parker Posey cameoed on Parks and Recreation (haven’t watched yet, NO SPOILERS). Last night’s 30 Rock was actually the season finale, which, can we talk about how it was a little strange how they pointed out that everyone on the show gets a three-month summer vacation and rents houses in the Hamptons? Don’t get me wrong, I love Ina Garten as much as the next guy who loves Ina Garten, but it just felt surprisingly unrelatable for a show that somehow makes absurdist comedy about the behind-the-scenes of a network sketch comedy show somewhat relatable, kind of, or something. I don’t know, it struck me as weird. Forever alone. And, of course, part one of Community‘s two part paintball episode. The wild west! Sawyer! It was very good. The dean is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters, with his costumes, and with his constantly shouting, “I’m the dean!” (I particularly liked it a couple weeks ago when he kept shouting “I’m a good dean!”) This episode, of course, was a call back to last year’s paintball episode, which seemed to be many people’s favorite episode of any television show in a long time. It’s always a risky gambit to try and recreate your previous success, but so far so good. OH, I AM GOING TO MISS YOU THIS SUMMER, OLD PALS!

put these scones in your bra
This perfectly sums up what I want to do to concert_addict every Friday during this open thread.
Agreed! She is the Ace of my heart. Annie was awesome, great episode, hilarious callbacks to last year’s paintball episode and the best title sequence so far. Bravo, Community, if you had a few more LOST jokes, this would have been the perfect episode.
Needed more him
How was there not a title card for Chang as the Joker???
Because he didn’t vote. It’s really unclear as to if he’s in the group or not!
I think Office finally started getting their money’s worth out of Will Ferrel last night. He really brought the LOLs.
(Still love you, Michael.)
SHIROBU!!!
Guys I have a confession, I do not want a Ron Swanson Birthday. Everyone on my twitter feed said that was the perfect birthday but I disagree. I do not want an Ann Perkins birthday either though.
waits for you guys to stab me
I could see that being the perfect birthday for someone with a house full of kids, or roommates, or a job that takes up an excessive amount of their life. Personally, I can eat and drink and watch movies by myself just about whenever I want to.
GARBAGE FIGHT
Ron, look, I love you, like a father…who’s not that much older than me, like a young uncle or like a…you’re my camp counselor…but we’re adults so we hang out and it’s not weird. You know what…Or…actually, here’s what it is! You’re my lacrosse coach.
My favorite part!
I also loved the scene before this when Tom was trying to get Lindsay to hire him and after he gave her his resume, she just tossed it in the pile of garbage.
Wait, Leslie. I’ve got this. You listen to me, Lindsay Carlyle-Shea. Why don’t you take your fancy dog, get in your Escalade, and if you have any job openings, maybe you should let me know about em… NO. I am sick of being treated like I’m not willing to relocate to Eagleton. Because I AM. So here’s what you can do, LADY: Take this resume and shove it into your human resources slot.”

Also, new Subtle Sexuality!
best fake Taylor Swift song ever! Better than your real Taylor Swift songs
There’s this awesome shot of Kelly staring out the “rainy” window & the pane next to her is dry. I know they included it on purpose, but it still made me laugh.
The look of joy on Ben and Tom’s faces when they took that pause to smell the air and find out that it did, in fact, smell like vanilla was so adorable. Probably the epitome of adorable.
Oh, Parks and Rec. Never leave me. I love you.
I’m so happy Ben and Tom are becoming besties!
If Ben and Tom pair up, would that be like the final insult to Jerry?
Don’t you dare feed that waffle to that dog to get it to poop.
thank you for the gif!!!!! DAY MADE!
BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT.
I love you TV boyfriend….
Late in the day Twilly, but here you go:
A Fistfull of Marry Me’s.
Hominahominahominahomina….
this is the gif i’ve been waiting for. many thanks.
…
…
…what were we talking about?
As a lady with boobs this looks so painful.
As a straight lady, I don’t so much care about her boob’s (although, woah!, Allison Brie), so much as I care about how much Annie was kicking ass last night! AND still retained her sweet side.
Love you Annie!
as a gay lady can I just also add my “Homynahomynahomynahomyna”
anyone got a higher res version of this screencap? i’m looking to print a poster the size of my wall.
Can I request a dancing Vicki gif?
She’s a dance major, Jeff. She loves twinkies!
Last night was the first time my dad ever watched Community and he said he really liked all the references. Then I told him about how he’d love this show.
Kelly: No, he’s just a big fraud Deangelo. He’s like Rango. He doesn’t work here basically, just like the way Rango didn’t save those animals. It was just a big misunderstanding.
Deangelo: Is this true Ryan?
Ryan: I did not see Rango.
Can someone please tell me what Rango was about? I never saw it because I’m not 12, but apparently it’s actually pretty good.
I took a 3-, a 4-, and a 5-year-old to see Rango. About five minutes into it, the 4-year-old ask if it was over yet. That pretty much sums it up.
Favorite Lines of the Night:
There are 4 things I want to do this summer but they’re roommates. So, it’s tricky.
How many times have I come over and painted your apartment?
3 and by the way, Stop doing that!
Oh and this one:
So many funny moments.
It was personal. I would never make a work related call. You know that.
And once again, the public forum scene was great. How do they keep making those so awesome? Ham and mayonnaise, now arson and two fences. Keep up the good work, writers!
Also: Christina Ricci.
“I could hardly drink my morning shower-scotch”
“I had the perfect woman – gorgeous, brilliant, always let me be the hat in Monopoly.”
”Stop trying to fluster me with your handsomeness…”
”Why, is that your chest getting all flushed?”
”Th…that’s a rash. I’m allergic to beans.”
”Coldplay?”
”Too late bean allergy… you blew it.”
NICKNAME!
Do you have a gif of horse flier perchance?
I’ll look for one.
Angry Pam makes me laugh every time.
The hotness of Sawyer and Joel McHale together melted my TV.
Seriously, seeing Sawyer on my tv made me miss him all over again! RIP LOST!
And yes, Jeff…He really IS that good looking!
And we got a “son of a bitch” which seriously made my night. I don’t understand why NBC didn’t just put him on for a half hour of handsome in lieu of Outsourced.
Agreed! Or why play an Office re-run?! Couldn’t they just give us a whole hour of Community? Or just an hour of Josh Holloway lookin hot and coming up with insulting nicknames for everyone? COME ON NBC! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!
Let’s pitch a show of Josh Holloway coming out of the ocean and reading the newspaper and making fun of people to NBC for summer filler. It’s got to cost less than the Marriage Ref or the Voice and I know a lot more people who would watch it. I guarantee it’ll be funnier.
YES! Sold! I also volunteer myself to be Josh Holloway’s personal assistant during filming. I don’t even need to be paid. I’ll just sleep under my desk like Ron Swanson.
he also gave Annie a nickname (bean allergy) a la Kate…
Most definitely. I think you should write to them about that.
The fact that 30 Rock ended on a Lost joke as well made my night full of love for Lost.
That made me laugh really hard.
I know this is the Thursday Night TV open thread and not the Wednesday Night TV Open Thread but can I give a shout out to the excellent Justified season finale? DAMN.
Seconded. After last year they could have just coasted all season and I still would have eaten it up with a spoon, but now they’re just blowing everything else out of the water. Maybe even on par with Breaking Bad.
If they don’t throw some Emmy nominations at Timothy Olyphant, Margo Martindale & Jeremy Davies……. well, nothing will happen, but I will be very disappointed! …because I’ve NEVER been disappointed with the Emmys before.
Justified, One viewer’s experience:
Season 1, ep 1-6: Hmm, this is a kinda weak premise but the dialogue is very solid, and I like Timothy Olyphant, and I’m unemployed, so what the hell, I’ll stick with it.
Season 1, ep 7-9: Wow, they’ve really changed the tone, and the dialogue’s even better, and these characters are actually kinda great. I liked Walton Goggins in the Shield, but Boyd Crowter is the greatest.
Season 1, ep 10-13: Oh my God, that is how you build and finish a fucking plot arc. This show [i]rules[/i]
Season 2, ep 1-2: Oh no! OH NO! What have they done with my lovely show? WHY?
Season 2 ep 3-10: Oh, right, phew, this show is the greatest. Guess they were just doing that to capture a new, stupid audience? I’m just glad this show is back to being the tits.
Season 2, ep 11-12: Best drama on TV, hands down (until Breaking Bad comes back on, at least).
Season 2 ep 13: !!! !!! !!! !!! My only regret is I have to wait a year for more
Anyone who recognizes the existence and superiority of Sifl and Oily will always get an up vote from me.
Yup. Agreed and upvoted.
Whatever happened to Gabe (or Soft Gabe)’s promise to start doing Justified recaps? And how can we be sure we don’t miss them when it comes back next year? Can you imagine the Boyd gifs?
BTW – Between this Community episode, Justified and the kickass new trailer for “Hell on Wheels” (neo-Western) on AMC, I may buy cowboy boots. PURCHASING POWER!
Does anyone have Natelie Zea’s number? I just need to ask her a quest real quick.
Best labor false alarm reaction ever!
Kenneth and Jack spooning on the couch was pretty great. The rest of the episode was sorta meh.
Yes! Oh Kenneth!
if Jack McBrayer doesn’t win an emmy for his Avery speech last nite then the emmy’s can suck it!
I agree about the meh thing. Is that REALLY how they’re writing out Avery? Because I think that’s bullshit, and not ok because the baby is just couple months old.
Maybe they’ll do the 80s sitcom thing and she’ll be a wisecracking 5 year old next year.
So that was the season finale for 30 Rock? That was kind of weird, right? And anyone figure out who this mystical Jacob is that Kenneth talks to?
Lost reference?
Absolutely a Lost reference.
thats what i took it to be.
He’s made it at least 2 times before. I assume it’s a Lost reference, but it could be a goat or some other Kenneth lore. BTW, anyone notice he was born in the 1700s last week? My DVR cut the last bit out but I saw it on the Hulu.
OMG Kenneth is 30 Rock’s Richard Alpert!
It works because Manhattan is an island!
also how cute is Liddy
Does anyone have Alison Brie’s number? I just have to ask her a question real quick.
You can email her at anniesboobs@hotmail.com. I already asked her her ideas and what Donald Glover smells like so I hope neither of those were your questions
Hotmail? Dealbreaker.
It’s hotmail cause she’s hot, yo.
Just remember: no means no.
I guess we know what was making Ina Garten too busy for Make A Wish requests
Bruschetta & 30 Rock
Here’s my weekly post of hilarious “Outsourced” GIFs!
Sort of related and Thursday night tv: Did people see Jon Krasinski on Conan doing his marionette thing? I kind of loved that.
“That was a game. This is paintball.”
Also: That was a game. This is Videogum.
Does anyone else think Will Ferrell’s character was a homeless person before he was hired?
So now I’m throwing my weight behind Gabe as the Scranton Strangler. To the four of you that will see this: what say you?
Nah. Maybe Ryan.
Although if he doesn’t strike again, that would suggest that maybe it’s someone who moved away from the area…
I got really excited about that possibility after you suggested it (even though I was all HUH?!?!) and now I am super pissed that that’s not how they wrote him off. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOLD. They should pay you to write for the Office!
“that possibility” meaning that the SS was DeAngelo (D’angelo? Deangelo?). I agree it has to be SOMEONE, but it should have been him. Too perfect.
I think Gabe too! Think of all his swords!
