Last night’s Parks And Recreation could have just been this picture for 20 minutes, and we still would have enjoyed it. Actually, we might have enjoyed it more. Read our review here.

![I think [“Citizen Knope”] was the best episode of the season to that point, and maybe top five in the series. I was so happy with it that after I read reviews and discussion of it online, I made the decision never to read any Internet reviews or discussion of my show again—partly because I had started getting wary of it, and getting a little annoyed by it at certain times. Whether it was good or bad, it didn’t matter. Just the whole process of it was kind of trying. And then that episode was well-reviewed and nicely complimented, and I thought, “This is a nice note to go out on, I’m going to stop reading the Internet now. I can always pretend that, no matter what, this is what everybody thinks of every episode we ever do.”
But will you still look at our GIFs Michael Schur? Read the third part of his walk through Parks And Recreation’s fourth season here.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5xqvgt60A1r2igm4o1_500.jpg)

What Would Jean-Ralphio Do? (WWJ-RD?)
Parks and Recreation’s Snake Juice entrepreneur offers love advice and more.
GQ: Best way to pop the more important question, i.e. “Will you have sex with me?”
Jean-Ralphio: Text; tweet; Friendster post; fortune in a fortune cookie; during a screening of Stuart Little; sign language; Legos; make an adorable 2-year-old hand over a note asking the question for you; as a follow-up question, after she says “no” to “will you marry me.”
GQ: What’s the ideal date?
Jean-Ralphio: Me, Snake Juice, anything by Tyrese or Sisqó playing in the background, waterbed.
GQ: You’re in fifth grade. It’s math class. Julie sends you a note: I think you’re kinda cute.” What’s your next move?
Jean-Ralphio: I pass her a scientific calculator with pre-typed numbers that, when held upside down, spells BOOBIES.
GQ: You’re 83 years old. It’s bingo night. Ethel makes eye contact. What’s your next move?
Jean-Ralphio: I pass her a scientific calculator with pre-typed numbers that, when held upside down, spells BOOBIES.If the demise of Entertainment 720 means the end of Jean Ralphio, this whole office will pour out a bottle of snake juice in his honor.

![AVC: Looking at your career trajectory, it kind of feels similar to Henry’s in a way. When you saw the part, did it kind of have any familiar ring to you at all?
AS: Yeah, totally. I immediately understood the general air of humiliation that comes with trying to do something as ridiculous as be an actor in Hollywood. It’s just kind of an embarrassing endeavor. I never had that thing where I had this success where people were stopping me and saying embarrassing things to me at the time—I mean, now I have people telling me [Henry’s catchphrase] “Are we having fun yet?”—but at the time, I didn’t have anything like that. But I certainly understood the humiliation and pain of having to stand there and feel like a piece of garbage while you list your credits for somebody who wants to know what they may have seen you in, and then it turns out they haven’t seen you in anything, they had just met you before or something. You just feel like an idiot at all times. I think all of us in the cast related to that. Being an actor is just kind of embarrassing. So I think we all certainly saw a lot of truth in it.
-Adam Scott on his Party Down character. He also talks about the Party Down movie and getting his role on Parks and Recreation. And he is generally charming and self-deprecating.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt0nm4npaa1r2igm4o1_500.jpg)
