An Annotated Guide to Last Nights ‘Parks and Recreation’ David Foster Wallace References

By Emily Temple on

Yesterday, Parks and Recreation showrunner Michael Schur alerted us via tweet that last night’s episode would include “a few IJ references. ["A few" = like 18]).” While it seems a little strange for the show — we can’t imagine any of the characters (other than Ben, maybe) having a working knowledge of David Foster Wallace’s epic postmodern novel — it makes total sense for Michael Schur, an established fan, who directed The Decemberists’s Eschaton-themed video. Ultimately, the references amounted to name dropping, with only one really good joke, but we still got a lot of nerdy fun out of looking for them. After the jump, we break down all the David Foster Wallace references we spotted in last night’s episode of Parks and Rec. Did we miss any? Let us know what else you noticed in the comments. … Read More

‘Parks and Recreation’ Characters As Comic Book Heroes

By Jason Bailey on

Well, here’s an artist after our own heart: LA-based self-described illustrator, printmaker, and “fun-junkie” Vicky Trochez (aka “Vicktrola”) has gone and turned the characters from Parks and Recreation into the comic book heroes of the Justice League. “After doing a quick sketch of Leslie Knope as the Caped Crusader’s side kick,” she explains at the beginning of the online portfolio, “I decided to go all in and transform the rest of the Parks and Recreation cast into the rest of the Justice League.” The results are, to say the least, glorious. Check out Trochez’s full gallery after the jump, and then hop over to her website to buy a print or two (you know you want to). … Read More

Peruse Leslie and Ben’s ‘Parks and Recreation’ Pinterest Wedding Album

By Chloe Pantazi on

Last week on Parks and Recreation, Leslie and Ben tied the knot in an impromptu wedding. There was a makeshift wedding dress (designed by the beautiful angel Ann Perkins) that, of course, made a political statement. Andy of Mouse Rat sang. Unsurprisingly, Leslie got emotional. And so did Ron Swanson, to our astonishment – we’re pretty sure we saw his mustache quiver. And now, so we can hold onto the memories, NBC has posted Leslie and Ben’s wedding album on Parks and Rec‘s Pinterest. Page through our favorite shots below. … Read More
