The food poisoning scene is one of my favourites in the entire show. Chris failing to use the phone, Ron waddling over, choosing to whack it off the table, having Ben dial Tom’s extension with HIS FACE ALL SMOOSHED. It’s so unreasonably funny.
The accounting firm is Ben’s perfect world. Everyone loves him, they eat calzones, his jokes are always a hit, he’s incredibly successful with them. Him always quitting is the best running joke
I wish they had used another part of the government to hate on,libraries are cozy and beneficial to the community, and calzones are lovely little savory pockets! I think this might have something to do with jerry
Calzones are just inferior pizzas. No browning of the cheese, excessive crust and unsure how hot the fillings are. That library is run by a snarky librarian lady, and the literal Icon of Sin (Tammy 2) works there. Completely justified reasons imo 👍
I love the worried, bewildered look people give him when he starts off on his calzones. They're worried about him, but at the same time they're looking out for escape routes...
I was sad when he had to leave the accounting office. He was really welcome there and everyone did so many things for him, like throw him a Calzone party, he just left
I´ve never understood why everybody hated calzone in the show. In most south american countries Empanadas are one of the most common street food and are basically just like a calzone. Besides Ben calzone looks really good!
It's just one of the things in the show that you know. Like how everybody loves lil Sebastian. And everyone hates jerry. It's just a running gag that everyone in Pawnee dislikes calzones!
also there's just a general joke In america culture that calzones are a B tier pizza. I feel like the only time I've heard a calzone mentioned in some American media it's always to beat down on them for not being pizza :p
fun fact: the tomato was first cultivated and used in cooking in Latin America by the Aztecs. So by chronology, and at the risk of triggering Italians, empanada is right.
@@deeya tomatoes are used by multiple cultures - I never pretended that Italians have a lock on them. That being stated, Empanadas don't normally have tomato sauce, so your argument is illogical at best.

Bring up Aztecs and tomatoes doesn’t make it an empanada. We don’t know the filling and in all likelihood it was italian or American-Italian fillings. Empanadas, calzone, meat pie, they’re all similar and likely share a similar history, originating from wheat rich regions. Likely somewhere in Europe.
Calzones are objectively superior to pizza because they are contained, which means you can have a higher toppings:crust ratio. If you put too many toppings on a pizza the whole thing collapses, but this is not an issue with calzones!
I love how on the whiteboard, for the calzone, Ron says that it has bad meat. Such a small detail but just subtly reinforces the fact that Ron meat so much better than everyone else.
If you go back you'll also notice that Chris hated the veggies and Tom hated the presentation. The meat expert hated the meat, the veggie expert hated the veggies and the presentation expert hated the presentation. Ben really should have seen the red flags.
It's hilarious how Ben tries to say calzone with the right Italian accent and is barely understandable while Chris says it flawlessly immediately after 😂
Such a bizarre trait that one of the writers came up with. 'How about hes weirdly obsessed with calzones?' Thank god the rest of the writers went with it, such a funny recurring joke for Ben.

Ultimately it wasn't the calzones. It was the meat IN the calzones. Go vegan.
I love how Ben tries to pronounce Calzone in Italian but fails and then Chris refers it in Italian correctly! Brilliant comedy!

Actually the correct pronounce is " cal - Zo - neh" but "cal - TSo - neh". Different sound.

The way they act in front of him is so adorable.

That shot at 5:22 is so funny when Ben rolls like a dead fish and Chris's face comes into frame for a second xD
I never noticed that before! New gem to laugh at. Thank you 😊
You can hear him laugh too 🤣 that little noise that comes out before the transition
😂😂😂 That's amazing
How did I miss this every time?????
OMG IVE SEEN THIS SHOW THREE TIMES AND JUST NOTICED THIS IM LAUGHING SO AHRD
"But Number 3 told a story. A story... from a book I wouldn't read... but I would watch the movie" 🤣🤣

Everyone rips on calzones but i feel the same way Ben does...it’s a portable slice of pizza you can eat easily, like a pizza burrito.
"portable slice of pizza"
As opposed to a non-portable slice of pizza lol?
Pizza is already portable lmao
dude just fold your pizza like a normal person. calzones are fine but usually cost more
The people shitting on calzones are the same people that eat hot pockets
I like how most characters in the show inexplicably hate calzones and libraries-two completely innocuous and pleasant things.
I really like Calzones and libraries thats the biggest thing I disagree with on this show
I wish they had used another part of the government to hate on,libraries are cozy and beneficial to the community, and calzones are lovely little savory pockets! I think this might have something to do with jerry
Well, when the local library is run by a succubus too perverted for hell, the negative bias seems reasonable.
Calzones are just inferior pizzas. No browning of the cheese, excessive crust and unsure how hot the fillings are.
That library is run by a snarky librarian lady, and the literal Icon of Sin (Tammy 2) works there.
Completely justified reasons imo 👍
Right, who hates libraries? Also Chris normally acts happy about everything but he seems to really dislike calzones.

An empanada is nothing like a calzone. Empanadas are fried pies. A calzone is baked. Empanadas > calzone.
because they are just pizza that is harder to eat.
That’not a tiny calzone, that’s an “empanada”

What a wonderful scene to end with! Barney's delight at Ben's reaction is priceless : "I love Calzones!" , "We know!!!"
But so sad knowing he will break their hearts yet again
Ben's nerd swagger is a thing of beauty to witness. That wink at the end was so funny.

I always knew about those! I like calzones.

8:01 Leslie's "Oh" when she suddenly discovers why Ben really wants to enter the pie contest is just so perfect.
“Come on in” “ I already did”
The end part🥺 they were always so nice to him, bless the accountant that tried to hire him 3x, so sweet
I'm just happy it ended in a positive and supportive note of Ben's love for calzones.
I think it's safe to say, Ben Wyatt is the best *winks and eats calzone*

lol i was just about to timestamp that... actually his reaction, 6:51
And she possibly also break the hearts of millions of Italians in the world
Ben Wyatt is the ideal man 💕
that wink. no wonder they had triplets
I feel like one of P&R's subtler gags is that whenever Ben expresses calzone enthusiasm it means something is wrong in his life
"The calzones betrayed me?" 😂😂😂
Calzones are objectively superior to pizza because they are contained, which means you can have a higher toppings:crust ratio. If you put too many toppings on a pizza the whole thing collapses, but this is not an issue with calzones!
Stromboli is better because it doesn't have ricotta, which we all know is trash cheese
@@mikehunt2015 I agree that ricotta is garbage, but I don't view calzones as inherently ricotta-based (that may just be me though).
Unpopular opinion I guess: ricotta is amazing. A local pizza place has a pizza with ricotta I LOVE
The texture and taste of ricotta stinks
@@blakeok952 I disagree. I just had a pizza yesterday with ricotta. I love the texture of it and like the taste.

"Come on in, man"

NGL Tom's "It's like from a book that I wouldn't read but I would watch the movie of" makes complete sense to me
Ben made me try Calzone when I was in Napoli. Afterwards, I would take Calzone over Pizza anyday.

Calzone and Stromboli are the best foods in the world.

After season 3 I always forget how Ben and Chris are great friends who’ve worked together for years
