Ben's reaction to the song was great

"Shut up Ben!!!"

Great incorporation of Tammy 2

"I'm honestly scared for the wolves"

Covered her in deer fat and left her for the wolves.
She ate through her ropes and ran off into the night. I'm actually scared for the wolves.

That's the Ron Swanson we've missed.

Chris Pratt's amazingness cannot be overstated. What a find.

The cast didn't miss a beat.

What a great idea, executed to perfection.

Man, I love these characters so much.

Bobby Newport not knowing about Coronavirus and his "Whaaaat?!" absolutely killed me. What a brilliant open.

Bobby Newport!

Probably failed a final I should have been studying for, but whatever, this was more important.

I can't remember the last time I watched something that had me legitimately smiling and just in a damn good mood all around.

He was certainly not the first character I was expecting to see but man what an opening.

Perd Hapley is a character on the show that I really enjoy laughing at, while watching the show and characters.

This cast really is perfection. The seem to genuinely love each other. Watching the 30 minute tribute prior really got the waterworks going. I love this show.

I was really worried going in that it would be a "try hard" and leave a bad taste. I was so wrong. Opening with Paul Rudd as Newport was a great set up. Paul Rudd is an American Treasure.

While it was great to see Leslie, Ben, Ann, Chris, April, Andy, Donna, Tom, Jerry/Larry/Gary and Ron, finding ways to work in Jamm, Jean-Ralphio, Perd and Tammy 2 really made the show for me. The main cast is amazing but the secondary characters are what take Parks to another level.

Closing with 5000 Candles in the Wind was perfect. I am 100% convinced that Chris Pratt could be a rock star if he wasnt a movie star. The dude has IT and on top of that he seems like a normal guy. Most of the bloopers from Parks seem to be Pratt making everyone break. I dont know if Andy is my favorite character of all time but I would have a hard time arguing why he isnt.

He can't really sing well, but I totally get what you are saying. The crazy thing is, while i consider him one of the best characters of all time, he may not even be my favorite on the show. He and Ron both are up in that category for me.

Seriously, how has no one mentioned Jamm's haircut?

Here we go.

My biggest disappointment last night was no Jen Barkley. She's my favorite secondary character by far. We quote her weekly in our house.

Deep cut random is Barney the accountant. That dude makes me laugh so hard.

Really excited to see Ben's spinoff show where he's a congressman by day, and Patrick Bateman by night.
