This was pretty great.
Not a lot of character development, but tons of funny to go around.
Let’s start with…
Leslie and April are
on a crusade to get more women in government jobs. Actually, Leslie is on the crusade, and April
is there to mock the process. Leslie and
Chris get a meeting with a couple of people from each department to discuss the
issue, and Shauna Malwae-Tweep can write a story about it. When Leslie and April get to the meeting,
they are the only two women there.
Whoops. One of the councilmen tries
to get Leslie to leave to get more snacks, but Leslie refuses, calling the meeting
to order. Leslie brings her research to
the table, saying that sanitation is the worst offender for gender
equality. The guys are excited for
themselves, but Leslie stomps on that pretty quickly, even though they actually
have some good points, like women aren’t applying for the job.
Anyway, Leslie decides to show them, and goes on a trash run
the next day, with Chris and Shauna trailing.
Leslie and April are rocking the route, and the normal garbage men are
not happy. The guys hear about a unexpected
pick up, and take Leslie and April to go get it. Turns out it is a huge freezer with no
wheels. Leslie and April can’t move it,
and Leslie starts freaking out about feminism.
They are still sitting there after dark, until the owner comes out and
tells them the actual garbage men couldn’t lift it either, reigniting April’s
fire. They come up with a plan: they are
going to donate it to a food shelf, who have much more determination then the
garbage men, apparently, cause they get it on a truck no problem. Leslie is super stoked she got women hired at
the sanitation department, and April got her a gift: trash. Literally.
Ron and Ann are
babysitting Diane’s kids since she had an emergency come up, and it was
awesome. Apparently, even though Ann is
a nurse, she has no ability to communicate with children, and fails miserably
on her first go round. Ron is watching
the girls paint his shoes red when Diane comes back, asking Ron to watch the
girls for another day. Ron accepts, and
after they leave heads straight to the liquor cabinet. As you do.
The next day, Ron is exhausted, and asks Ann to help him
again. She tells them scary stories, but
freaks them out pretty hardcore, and so she goes for her nurse’s bag, and pulls
out the gauze and reflex hammer. The girls
are entranced, and Ron is out of there.
Ann talking heads about how awesome it is to give kids medical tools,
but Ron pulls her out with an emergency:
the girls have locked themselves in a room with Ann’s bag of tools. Jerry has a huge ring of keys, one of which
will open the door, but he is too slow. The
girls have cut their own hair. When they
finally get in the room, Ron is freaking out, and spills that he loves Diane,
and it is super cute. When Diane comes,
Ron tries to steel her for the crazy haircuts, but she is totally cool with
it. They are kids after all. And then Diane tells Ron she loves him, and
Ron reciprocates. Aww.
Tom, Andy, and Ben
have a guys meeting, since Tom’s business is doing gangbusters, but all the
kids are super into basketball, and Tom is the opposite of a baller. Tom gets the other two to his office with
white lies involving Skittle and Michael Stipe, respectively, and they get right
on to teaching Tom about basketball.
They go to a court, and Tom is seriously the worst basketball player
ever. He can’t even get the ball in the hoop
when he is sitting on Andy’s shoulders.
It’s kind of pathetic, actually, but still funny, cause it’s Tom.
Tom finally makes a basket, and gets way over cocky,
challenging some boys to a pickup game.
Turns out the boys are pretty good at basketball, and wipe the floor
with our guys. Tom is not impressed
again. Ben and Andy try to cheer Tom up,
and they give him another idea: press conference swag! Tom creates a really fun commercial for his
business, and it is basically genius.
This was a fun episode.
From Leslie posing on the garbage truck to Tom failing at basketball,
there were great visual gags all around.
I did get a couple of funny lines for you:
A former
councilwoman, about her time of the
month, and the other men’s predictive prowess: “Admittedly, they were right,
because of the calendar!”
Andy, when Tom
asks if he can help with the basketball tutoring: “No need, my only plan was to
buy skittles!”
Councilman
Milton, after
Leslie refuses to get more snacks: “Ouch, why so ornery? It’s not the seventh yet!”
