isn’t it always

[@knifewife4390]

As it should be lmao

[@naomilamont3277]

Well, she does about 80% of the work ☺️

[@sushisin679]

one of the best running gags, if not the best.

[@kyleellis1825]

I don't get the joke. Is the whole town just screwing with Ben?

[@bleu_capsicum]

@@kyleellis1825 No, everyone in both towns genuinely worshipped Lil Sebastian, Ben just never understood why.

[@kyleellis1825]

@@bleu_capsicum I don't get it. It's just a stupid horse.

[@bleu_capsicum]

@@kyleellis1825 Exactly, that's supposed to be the joke. Everyone is going above and beyond for this horse and marvelling over him and no one ever explains why. You're supposed to relate to Ben as he's visibly confused. I think it works well as a running gag because they keep doing more for Lil Sebastian as the episodes go and Ben is more and more confused. Even Ron loves Lil Sebastian. Anyway, this is very much an over-explanation of this joke, but I personally always found it very funny.

[@ScionStorm1]

I love how April is so good at personalizing calls.

They still did more work than the office lol

[@nerddub]

By a lot lol

[@jukkininth4837]

its cuz how YOU see those people in the office working is very different... they are selling paper bruh.. spend most of their work time on paperwork and infront of their PC... theres not much 'wow' happening cuz its.. like jim said.. a boring job.

[@samstern2042]

For sure! The Parks and Rec Gang are way more competent than the Office Crew

[@jukkininth4837]

@Do what you need to with her,then broom her fast. yeah, its call Park n Rec.. so the name itself implies the work gonna be lot outdoor, also its Gov body, more involve in many functions and such.. you wanna expect the Office hold a press conference just to talk about paper to the locals? lol

[@misterkid]

The office employees were constantly working

in all honesty, the fact that there was enough footage for this video to be 10minutes astounds me. because when i think about it 90% of the show is just pure chaos

No, this didn't claim to be comprehensive. There's also a video of them interacting with the general public that has more clips of them actually working.

[@TooRudeProductions]

I love how they do their job so little there's only 10 1/2 minutes

[@willmoore8708]

I guess I really missed out on something. It was because, at first, I thought it was some kind of "Office Offspring," I ignored the show. Now, I'm going through the whole series and I've come to realize it's comic gold. Amy Poehler is a genius.

[@martychisnall]

I like how there’s only about 10 minutes max of the characters actually doing their jobs in the entire show.

The only person in Pawnee who actually seems sane and reasonable. It really makes you question where he's from (there's no way he's from Pawne, right ? :P) and why he's there. Or how even he got elected seeing what kind of people live in this town.

That's cheap. He drove there, he's taking time to fix it, he had to bring his own tools, he bought what he needed in order to fix it. If you call the plumber to fix something, you think it'll be less than 40$ ? Even if it's something super simple and which doesn't take too long ?
