Bigoted against pointlessly combative dumbasses

I want to see Jerry's impression of THAT.

I was glad we got to hear Jean-Ralphio sing when he should be talking.  I was starting to worry they were were going to hold off due to fear of wearing it out, but I seriously think that will never not be funny to me.

Yup.

Yeah, I was definitely thinking of Michael making the sale in Chili's, to the point where I almost wonder if it was a reference.

"Oh gosh. You know, I'm not much on speeches, but it's so gratifying to… leave you wallowing in the mess you've made. You're screwed, thank you, bye."

I think the posh accent brought about a bit of cognitive dissonance to those of us who excpect a goofball to be a slobby American guy (i.e. Andy exactly), but once I figured out what they were doing with the character, I couldn't stop laughing. They really sold it for me, but it was definitely a tightrope act and I…

Pretend this is rice!

Ooh, great catch.  It actually caught my attention that it was a weird word for Andy, but I didn't make the connection.

Since you mention it, I actually wonder how the producers snuck this one under the wire.  I almost wonder if they managed to keep it a secret from key people at the network.

I was glad they found a way to make it a life-changing experience for Ron, and not just a trip to a distillery.  Obviously the trip was already having an effect on him, with the scenery and being on the boat (ah god, him on the boat! That was easily the most moving part of the whole sequence for me), but sealing the…

@avclub-d301bce59916e4713089b7b3c335635a:disqus  - Ron's love for Lagavulin always struck me as slightly odd.  I would have pegged him for a bourbon guy.  I can see Ron getting down with some Old Grand-Dad.  In fact, I think in the first, maybe second season they had him drinking Old-Fashioneds.  I always wondered if…

And Bridge on the River Kwai on the teevee.  Which is perfect because not only is it a great movie and obviously would be one of Ron's favorites, it's about being compelled to do a good job even at something that on principle you don't think should be done in the first place.  Its themes practically sum up Ron's…

For some reason that was my favorite joke of the entire night.  I couldn't stop laughing.  It was just so specific.  It was the exact right thing for him to find in the maze.

This is the eighth review I've seen since the episode aired.

Yeah, my reaction to that plot was almost totally subjective.  I'm sure there are better ways to handle Leslie's political aspirations than the way they've been handling it for the last few years, but whatever, this is probably the last season, and this episode was more about the leads than about cartoon villains, for…

I'm impressed by how okay I was with that.  This show has still got it.

Oh, snap, that is great.

It hadn't occurred to me to make that connection but you're TOTALLY RIGHT.  I would have thought Nermal.

Hell yeah!  They've done it three times and gotten it right like 2.5 of those times.  A crucial aspect is to not automatically ALWAYS make it a season or series finale.  Sometimes it can just be a fun, sweet, good storyline. Get ratings some other, more honest way.
