Parks and Recreation - Improvised Lines

[@MikhailCazi]

OMG the Network Connectivity line was improvised!? That was seriously one of the funniest lines in the whole show!

[@sh0ck3r48]

it was the line that got me to watch the whole show

[@Itszahia]

Mikhail Cazi is it bad that I don't get the joke.

[@chrisbonnell2221]

he typed in the symptoms but the internet was down so the 'answer' he got was "network connectivity problem"

[@Itszahia]

Chris Bonnell oh now I get it. Thanks

[@chrisbonnell2221]

you're welcome :)

[@cheesitz007]

I love how chris pratt is getting all that love for hs improv and he's just like " oh it's credit to the format". You humble awesome son of the mother of a wonderful person.

[@andydwyer5579]

cheesitz007 "Son of mother of wonderful person" wow

[@User-hy6ur]

Beautifully said hahaa

[@thefootballplace9245]

Plot twist: The wonderful person being referred is Chris Pratt's brother.

[@michaelkelly1757]

I was so nervous Chris Pratt was gonna be off the show at first but thank god he didn’t cause he’s like the best actor now as Star Lord and Emmet and Mario

[@armanhatamkhani7362]

that network connectivity problem thing actually did really crack me up lol

[@dommcquiter9219]

Donna talked more in this 5 minute video than in the first three seasons

[@levelevelyn2463]

+Dom McQuiter Ha

[@ryndanriley5348]

I know, right? that's because originally she was mostly a minor character but she did so good that they kept her on and turned her into one of the stars. same with Chris Pratt. he was only supposed to be in like the first few episodes.

[@emackb1457]

Yeah, Pratt wasn't even in the introduction/theme song part at first. Thank goodness they kept him :)

[@jossc3405]

+Emack B they had him there it just said "guest starring, Chris Pratt"

[@Smeet9]

Right? I'm glad she had a bigger role in the later part of the show she was my favorite character

[@Badenhawk]

Question:“Do you guys improvise a lot?” Amy:”not really, it’s mostly scripted” Everyone else: “ except for every line by Chris Pratt”

I actually worked for a parks department in Southern Indiana. I thought this was a documentary for the first 3 seasons. You laugh about the racoon infestation - we cower in fear.

[@juicygoose5428]

😂 so is it anything like the show?

[@Mysteryskatin]

+poopy66 Strikingly so. Some of the most fun I've ever had "working." Things like donning a ghillie suit and napping in the woods when you were supposed to be working was a pretty common occurrence. We had a demolition derby with tractors once. We had a forest wide snowball war that turned into what looked like Game of Thrones with different factions and a whole political system we created. Good times, lol.

[@blackstep_dad2572]

How do you go 3 seasons thinking it was a documentary? -____-

[@jlaelite]

Fact: Chris Pratt is a goddamn comedic genius.

[@jlaelite]

ebkdan I know a lot of people who are funny, too. However, I don't personally know anyone about whom Amy Poehler has written, "he can land a joke with a natural ease that most people spend a lifetime trying to achieve." time.com/3822922/chris-pratt-2015-time-100/

[@jlaelite]

ebkdan hyperbole, my friend! However, I do believe there is a natural brilliance in Pratt's timing. And yes, Amy's seal of approval is almost as golden as her wonderful laugh.

[@jimmy-breeze]

they didn't talk about the Kim Kardashian comeback story :(

[@MrSirFluffy]

It was an outtake.

[@Buskieboy]

It only became an outtake because there was NO way that was going to make it to the screen! LOL One of the funniest lines ever. Shame it couldn't make it.

[@aaa16065]

Elaborate? What line?

[@marselarene38]

pochjm gyhb nhgb There was an improvised line by chris that never made it into the final cut. loom up "parks and rec comeback scene" or something.

[@taakotuesdays]

Raiko Hotski there was a scene where they’re discussing comeback stories and Pratt goes “Kim kardashian, I think she got cum on her back” and the entire cast lost it

[@formoftherapy]

Maybe it's just me but...Amy sounds REALLY pretty..like her voice sounds different from most of her "performances". IDK, maybe it's because she's more chill right now and not having to be "on" like they usually have to be on camera but she sounds so delicate and pretty :D

[@ihavetheherpes]

They try to make Leslie seem unattractive, plain and annoyingly motivated.

[@TheLunablackheart]

idk about "delicate" but yeah she sounds hot

[@Flowereypanda]

yeah, the video is slightly pitched lol

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

The Kim Kardashian joke is one of the greatest jokes never aired on TV.

[@israelite2204]

I love how hard and how badly Chris Pratt tries and fails to downplay his talent by saying "well when its 15 takes eventually jokes happen." Regardless, some people dont have your talent. Its so nice how everyone literally shuts up and doesnt interrupt but probably sees his humility.

[@why-even-try-brotendo]

Have they really never heard the "master debater" line before? I honestly think I heard that when I was around 10 and I'm 37 now.

[@BlueEyedSexyPants]

ross vandenberg I think the actual joke wasn't "master debater," but that Leslie was so oblivious that there was a joke and oblivious to her own status that she said, "People used to point at me and laugh because I was so good at it."

[@taqu]

BlueEyedSexyPants That, and alsowhat makes a good joke isn't that they're always 100% original but where and in what way they're implemented and the way they're said. If you look at Chris Pratt in various interviews and other things you can see that here's a natural at improvised comedy and timing.

[@th0ughtdaughter69]

ross vandenberg In London it's maths debater

[@zayarummm]

The first improvised part was by Donna, whether it was shown or not. It was when Amy asked her in the first episode where a leaf was from on the board, and Donna says "outside". Donna also improvised the line "Do I look like I drink water?"
