I've been in meetings with county councillors before and they aren't much better. This is exactly what I expect parish councillors using Zoom to be like

I just can't. Too many actual newsworthy things worth more of my time.

Of course, I thought the movie Waiting for Guffman was dumb, as is the core humor premise of Parks & Recreation. Triviality, small town thinking, and pettiness does not make instant comedy.

At least he didn't sodomize him.

It's good writing. But the premise of "small town concerns = comedy" relies on punching-down mockery, which generally fails for me. So the show works in spite of its core premise.

There's a certain forced comedy that doesn't work for me based on the notion of small-town players and their petty problems trying to be big-pants/big-city movers and shakers. And that's where Parks & Rec fails for me. I don't think that vein of jokes is funny at all.

So all these years you've been lying about the midget porn?

Parks & Rec and Schitt’s Creek were both in small towns and hilarious.

Just say it, it's fucking stupid

The genre should have begun and ended with the original The Office.

 

[pavluska]

Never watched parks & rec but Nick offerman highlights are hilarious

 

[ALC]

My favorite part from parks and rec. Jean Ralphio and Mona Lisa are the best

Parks and Rec is ok. Its something you can watch with women that is tolerable.

Aziz Ansari though holy fuck I hate that guy

if you’d ever spent time in the public meetings of Montgomery county, Maryland you’d find parks and rec both hysterical and relatable.

This.

"Look at these petty, unimportant people acting like they're big shots. Heeelarious." Not really a funny premise in my book. You have to work harder than that.

Midget trannies punch up, not down.

Ahhh... yes. Schitt's Creek. I don't get the exponential rise of plaudits laid over it the past couple seasons while it was outright ignored, if not deliberately, it's first 3-4 seasons as something irrelevant.

And given Catherine O'Hara's role in Guffman, it's full circle for me. Can't really touch it for those same punching down reasons.

I only spent time in Monkey County, Maryland traffic court. That was enough for me.

Systemic poverty is the plan, yo. Get with the program.

But you also gotta get settler mentality in the WB: anything other than their own is a threat that must be destroyed.

I agree. Also because people from small towns are silly.
