Strangely, the theme for tonight’s shows was genocide. And I know I'm late - stupid work.
Community – “Custody Law and Eastern European Diplomacy”
Recap: Shirley wants Chang to sign away any parental rights while Troy and Abed try to keep Britta from banging their new friend. This was one of my least favorite episodes ever – no big laughs and too much Chang. A major detraction/distraction was Joel McHale’s horrible Bieber-esque, faux bedhead, douchebaggy hairstyle. It ruined the whole show. After Jeff “Nipple-play” Winger came back from jogging, his hair still hadn’t moved. I am seriously disappointed in a fictional character. It’s not as bad as when Spike tried to rape Buffy, but it’s in the top 10. Please return to the regular, smarmy spikiness that he had on The Soup on Friday. As always, Troy and Abed’s interactions were the highlight of this sub-par episode. They groaned and complained in unison as Britta awkwardly tried to interact with Luka (Victor from Dollhouse!), their new video game friend and former wearer of hats made out of babies. She acted way more socially retarded than Abed ever has. Let’s hope the Pulp Fiction episode next week can live up to the minimal amount of hype it has received.
- Best Line: “If they’re left-handed, I want to know about that. I’m making a chart.” – Abed telling Britta the details she can give about their mutual friends
- Runner-Up: “I really got Jewish personed out of that one.” – Pierce being politically correct
- Genocide Connection: Luka misses ethnic cleansing in the Balkans - setting villages on fire and seeing the rivers turn red with their blood.
Parks and Recreation – “Harvest Festival”
Recap: The Harvest Festival has arrived as well as a curse from the local Native American tribe. Love and deep-fried food is in the air in Pawnee: Leslie and Ben flirt by pretending to shoot one another, Ann makes out with a carny and April drops the L-bomb on Andy. Apparently, everyone gets a little excited whenever Lil Sebastian (and his shockingly huge mini-horse erection) is around. Episode highlight – the look of pure joy on Ron’s face whenever Lil Sebastian was around. PS – I agree with Ben and don’t get it – “He whinnied!”
- Best Line: “No, we all behave rationally and believe we are in charge of our own destinies.” Leslie describing Pawnee’s belief in curses
- Runner-Up: “There are a lot of people who don’t consider salad food.” Leslie on why the salad stand shouldn’t be placed on Deep Fried Alley
- Genocide Connection: The Wamapoke tribe was slaughtered on the place where Leslie wants to place the shooting gallery. They didn’t have any weapons.
30 Rock – “Queen of Jordan”
Recap: Angie’s reality show takes over and makes everyone look stupid (usually more stupid). God, I hate reality shows. I know this is a fake one, but it seems like it could be real and it makes me angry that people would actually watch something like this. I did love some of Sherri Shepherd’s comments –“Who the %^$# are the Beatles? – Haaaammm – That’s just white people nonsense.” But it’s definitely time to get Tracy back from whatever he’s doing in Africa and get this reality-show nonsense behind us. I hate when my fake boyfriends look bad – stay strong, Jack!
- Best line: In the opening credits, it read “Written” by Tracy Wigfield.
- Runner-Up: “If this show insists on portraying me as a clumsy, gay flatulent, that’s fine because I am extremely secure in my athleticism, masculinity and anal integrity.” – Jack on why reality shows suck
- Genocide Connection: Jenna sees no problem with her new website - Jenna’s side.com.
