I fully admit that I probably don't know the nuances of the various shades of Paul Rudd. Again, being a guy, I probably just lump Paul Rudd into a "Paul Rudd" bucket!

Chris - Really? I felt like it was a bit of a departure since he often plays such nice dudes, but I could be clouded by my love for Paul Rudd.

Sarah - I loved the door bit, too! And we got a glimpse of Andy hanging his gold record, so two references to Christmas gifts from Leslie!

Loved this episode! The scenes with April & Andy were definitely my fav. You can tell the writers have a blast coming up with new shenanigans for these two to get into every week. Best married couple on tv. Ever! Also when Rob tries to use his automatic door shutter on Chris - Sooo funny & I love when shows use elements from previous episodes!

Ps. Tots agree about Jason Segal ;)

Maybe it is because I am a guy, I actually found Paul Rudd to be a little too much here. He played an exaggerated version of what he usually plays, which for me was sort of wasted screen time because I knew what the character was going to do before he did it. But I get how people loved the guest spot. And you have to admire Rudd for playing this character.

The Ben, Jerry and Tom attack voice bit was incredible. So funny that I ended up watching it 5 or 6 times. And as I write this I realize that is part of my problem with Rudd's guest spot, when an ensemble cast is clicking like this one is, I hate the fact that a big name guest spot takes away screen time from the cast. I used to feel this way about guest spots on The Office (used to).

I thought the b story w/Andy and April was hilarious. For my money, Aubrey Plaza does the best dead pan in the camera of all the characters of either The Office or P&R. She cracks me up.

Overall, P&R can't go wrong these days.
