There's an interview with one of the writers of the show where he says the writing team for the show was furious when Chris Pratt came up with the "network connectivity problem" line because it was the funniest joke in the show and it was improv.
Fun Fact: Andy's clip where he says "Leslie, I typed your symptoms into the thing up here and it says you have network connectivity problems." -- That was an unscripted improv from Chris Pratt that they loved so much they kept it in.
@@Strider91 Idk, the greatest “comeback” stories clip where he says Kim Kardashian makes me die laughing… that may just be on the bloopers though, I doubt they aired it on TV 😂
The addition of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe is when the show goes from good to great. They're a perfect mix, absurdly cartoonish at times yet grounded enough that it's not weird.
Chris Pratt improvised the "network connectivity problems" line and the showrunner is quoted saying "As a writer, it made me furious… The camera happened to be on him, he did it once, and I think it's the funniest joke that's ever been on our show." 😂
It's kind of crazy how Chris and Ben came in and just dominated immediately. They didn't just appear fully formed, they enhanced the other already great characters instead of overshadowing them. It's a masterclass of how a show can shift gears, fix one mistake, and change everything for the better.
It’s crazy how everything just clicks into place here. The character dynamics are just perfect! Like a well oiled machine. A microchip. My body is a microchip. *runs away*
I love that you say Mark being gone means there are “no more speed bumps” since someone congratulated Mark on getting the speed bumps lowered in an episode once lol
The point in the series in which it goes from GOOD to GREAT. 3x1: The Mark-less era begins. Ron in that Bobby Knight outfit LOL. Touching backstory behind Chris's uber-positive attitude. 3x2: April as Ann's patient. Nightmare scenario. Ron giggling is both ridiculous and adorable. 15:08-15:14 A step in the right direction.
It's interesting: I'd honestly never considered how the flu episode might play differently for someone seeing it AFTER the whole COVID pandemic situation. Joking about a main character who's refusing to go home even though she's contagious (and even intentionally "germing up" an older coworker's stuff) maybe doesn't feel as cute or endearing as it did back then.
I mean it was always gross. But even after COVID we know sitcom rules, she might get a couple people sick but she's not going to kill anyone or start a global pandemic.
@@jerodast Oh sure, obviously not - but it still can feel icky and morally wrong, even if we know nothing too horrible will happen because of it. Sort of like how some of Tom's more pervy/objectifying moments come across gross and unsympathetic, despite us knowing that obviously it's never gonna lead to him doing anything TOO horrible to the women around him.
The fact that you said with Mark gone there are no "speed bumps" and that is the one thing Mark does for the city while he is in the show (get a speed bump's height increased by like an inch or something)... I see what you did there...
if you loved the latter half of s2 youre gonna LOVEEEEEE the rest of this show!!! just up hill from here, my all time favorite sitcom truly!!!!! and i especially love april and andy
Most people (NOT ALL) think season 3 is when everything came together. I only watched the show because people wouldn't shut up about season 3. They were right. I then went back and thoroughly enjoyed the first two seasons which I stopped watching after a couple of episodes when the show came out.
This show just started it’s insane peak. It’s not always this good but boy when it’s good it’s great. Thankfully they knew when to get out unlike the office. Can’t believe people stuck with it until the end
Comedies are not ment to be taken serious. The office , modern Family , community , Brooklyn 99 , Parcs and Rec , all those shows give you a positive vibe. From episode 1 untill the end. ✌🏾
I can say this now without spoilers: Whenever I start watching a new reactor begin watching Parks & Rec, one of my first thoughts is "......Oh yeah, Mark!" I forget he exists, and am suddenly reminded of his existence in the first couple seasons, literally every time.
This show is about to hit its stride but then again, so is sunny. Curious how it shakes out in your rankings. I’d probably put sunny above for its more unique comedy style but it could change by the day for me… I feel your dilemma jimbo
That cut to Chris with his face SOAKED in tears always gets me lol
rob lowe is sooo good😂

The cast believes it to be his best work aside from breaking the light switch lol

It's such a great joke too
Michael Schur still tells this story on talk shows 😅
I love this joke.

Ron has the best run ever. Love when he giggles

"My brain is on fire, I'm dying" Sick Chris is hilarious😂

I always looks forward to your Parks and Rec reactions, they're always the best
The point in the series in which it goes from GOOD to GREAT.
3x1:
The Mark-less era begins.
Ron in that Bobby Knight outfit LOL.
Touching backstory behind Chris's uber-positive attitude.
3x2:
April as Ann's patient. Nightmare scenario.
Ron giggling is both ridiculous and adorable.
15:08-15:14 A step in the right direction.
April was the goat of sarcastic looks to the camera… then along came Ben.
Ice town costs ice clown his town crown
i laugh every time i even read it
I can't remember, is this what inspired Leslie to start suggesting her own headlines or has she already been doing that
@@jerodastshe was already doing that but she definitely felt inspired by this one 😂

"stop pooping"
This line never fails to crack me up.
I had the opportunity to say this to myself after I got salmonella poisoning and it made me laugh 😂
@@S-CCCC I just got over the flu so I feel you lol
Jimmy, I love your reactions, for real. I feel like a friend.
"The Fight" is near, guys. "The Fight" is near!!!
Bababooie😂
Baba booey 😏
I love Leslie's flu ridden hallucinations!
ayyyy season 3, this show just keeps getting better
The fact that you said with Mark gone there are no "speed bumps" and that is the one thing Mark does for the city while he is in the show (get a speed bump's height increased by like an inch or something)... I see what you did there...
Flu Season might be my favourite episode of the show
So sad that Mark is gone. Nothing will be the same without him.
I can't handle how happy the intro makes Jimmy now lol
if you loved the latter half of s2 youre gonna LOVEEEEEE the rest of this show!!! just up hill from here, my all time favorite sitcom truly!!!!! and i especially love april and andy
all I can say is just wait till you get you Jerry's redemption story arc.
Yeah first 2 seasons feel like a pilot season split in two.
Most people (NOT ALL) think season 3 is when everything came together. I only watched the show because people wouldn't shut up about season 3. They were right. I then went back and thoroughly enjoyed the first two seasons which I stopped watching after a couple of episodes when the show came out.
My body’s like a chip too…. A potato chip
Yes ! Love these reactions
Just realize Ron grilling on a charcoal grill indoors is extremely dangerous..😅
This show just started it’s insane peak. It’s not always this good but boy when it’s good it’s great.

@ who said comedies have to be serious?
Your disloyalty will be noted on your permanent record :P
I had a HS teacher who had the Swanson Pyramid in his classroom. Needless to say pretty swell guy
6:12 run wears a red shirt the day after he's gotten lucky. But also Bobby knight. Lol
I'm not usually one for comments, so goodbye.
It’s funny cuz I think episode one is my least favorite Leslie episode. Chris getting his feelings hurt is just wrong lol
Also, Leslie throwing Jerry's painting into the lake is just awful
I can say this now without spoilers: Whenever I start watching a new reactor begin watching Parks & Rec, one of my first thoughts is "......Oh yeah, Mark!"
I forget he exists, and am suddenly reminded of his existence in the first couple seasons, literally every time.
Love the flu episode 😂🤧
Jimmy Macram! 👉
Ugh this show was sooo goooooood
Flu season!
We need these faster and Sunny even faster plz lol
Also react to curb your enthusiasm
Hell or high water
True grit
Sherlock Holmes
these are great
This show is about to hit its stride but then again, so is sunny. Curious how it shakes out in your rankings. I’d probably put sunny above for its more unique comedy style but it could change by the day for me… I feel your dilemma jimbo
Least favorite Leslie episode sounds like an oxymoron. Lol
Let’s goooo!!!
❤❤
Leslie was really annoying in the flu episode. Her obsessive need to be in control was kinda off putting.
Yuh
There are a number of episodes I hate Leslie because she is so overbearing and thinks she knows best.
I heard "stop. pooping." is a popular gif in nurses' group chats
