"Your daughter did it"
"Wait- everyone thinks shes my daughter?"
"Sorry dad"
That “sorry dad” was sooo cute
This episode was so cute I love there relationship
OMG THERES SO MANY LIKES AT THIS-
@@rubypaukei333 which episode?
@@bobbi7990 s5
chaotic younger sister and concerned (and frightened) older brother vibes
okay i love this
She’s like the younger sister I never had...because the younger sister I do have is normal and not TERRIFYING
That’s so true and I love it
Yeah April was like Ben scary little sister.
YES ABSOLUTELY
Them bonding over robot behavior was so pure and genuine, I loved it
I KNOW ITS SO CUTE
Yes, it was very wholesome and good. It was excellent to enjoy their amusement about humans acting and talking in a mechanical and strange way. Careful, it's a hot one out there
:-)
@@T-I-M-E.42 I hope they enjoyed their batteries...I mean human food.
@@waynesteffen8459 Yes, for humans to enjoy solid nourishment with other humans they enjoy being in close proximity to, makes them more efficient in accomplishing tasks.
Which serie is it?
April: I’m gonna murder you
Ben: I understand just one second
WHEN I TELL YOU I DIED
the fact that ben writes gay star trek fanfic has me dead oh lord
@@elibodybutter3553 its fucking hilarious, Data x Picard
I feel like that was the moment when Ben truly understood April.
@@elibodybutter3553 who hasn't had gay thoughts??
Jesus I read this exactly as when it played
Off all the house rules April gives, I feel like the Spanish one is serious.
Same! She also pronounces it horribly which makes it even better somehow.
@@O___________0 She pronounces it like a Spaniard as a bit. They’re generally seen as prissy in Latin American circles
@@JavierPerez-cx4jw She doesn't. She sounds "zizipozo" I don't know if you know the word lol. Basically making the sound /th/ when it should be /s/. I'm aware there are certain parts in the south of Spain where they do that, but they still wouldn't pronounce "usted" as Aubrey is saying it here. Still funny though.
@@JavierPerez-cx4jw Not even, because she made the sound of a OG spanish z or c.
@@O___________0 Huh.... I learned something today. Maybe K shouldn’t get my accent knowledge from my dumbass friends doing bad impressions. 😅😅
I feel like one of parks and rec’s strengths was the diversity of characters and how they interact w each other. April especially brings out great interactions with everyone because she’s so dark and sardonic but with a compassionate streak.
Right! Even though they started out with sort of stereotypical sitcom characters, they evolved and grew so much.
One of Greg Daniels’ writing rules was ‘relatability through specificity’. It seems intuitive that _broad strokes_ characters would be more accessible to more people, but it’s the total opposite. They don’t have enough detail to seem believable. The depth and detail with which the characters are on this show and The Office make them extremely relatable and make it deep out satisfying when characters that seem very different actually strike up great relationships.
All the best shows have a diverse cast that can bounce off each other. Seinfeld, Friends, Firefly, Community, Cheers, Mash, Golden Girls, etc. None of them depended on all the plots revolving around just one character.
@@trevorhegstrom2816 as much as I love friends, I don’t really agree that it was “diverse.” It was all about the first world problems of white people.
@@simoneblue12 I agree and I think “diverse” was the wrong word, I think what he meant was different personalities and how the show doesn’t resolve around one person like new girl or that 70s show. But the show was definitely not diverse
April and Ben would've been siblings in another universe for sure 😭😭
First time I ever watched this show was the episode while they are in DC and they keep watching the Congressman who just stares at the wall all day while in his office. I thought they were siblings from this episode. I was incredibly confused and surprised when I watched the show from the beginning and found out they weren’t actually siblings.
@@morganr843 📆
no she's his daughter
I wish they had her in good place as bens second in command
robot congressman creeps me out with his staring and politeness
Ik Me 2
Hahaha! Terrific, me too!
He's a droid 4sure
April: "I'm going to kill you!" >:)
Also April: *small peck on the nose* :)
What a power move.
That was the most frightening thing in that interaction.
The kiss of death ♥
That may have awakened something in me
Peck on the nose, followed by a slap on the face.
Am I the only one who thinks April is the most animated around Ben? It just seems like she show more general emotions with him than with any other member of the cast.
Other than Andy, I agree
Minus Andy
Well they're literally homies
The top 3 are definitely Andy, Ron and Ben. Which would certainly drive Leslie nuts.
My guess is that Ben’s energy is more calm so April likes to mess it up while all the other characters are more upbeat, so April gives them the opposite energy in return.
"I'm gonna murder you"
"I understand, just one second"
This is it. This is every time I've geeked out about something to my friends summarized in two easy sentences.
Honestly
I had the most confused boner ever when she kissed him on the nose and I feemlike I discovered something about myself
All nerds FELT that line 😂
If that's April's 15% I'm scared to see what her 50% or ever 100% is
12%
April is keeping her 100% for only two cases :
The Apocalypse has started or someone has put Andy into a coma.
@@thibautisserant three: someone makes ron swanson upset to silence and/or tears
@@daddysnake5250 in what scenario would that occur
@@thehandlebroke All three Tammys, all at once.
I always thought Ben and Andy had a special relationship too
Ben has special relationships with everyone
Even jerry and i love that
I thought they would get Married seems like love
Andy is nice to everyone tho likeeeee
@@isabellejones5764 you like umbrella academy?
5:23 i think this is the only time we've seen April smile and laugh non- ironically
That's robot April she got replaced
No her first times smiling was with Andy.
She also laughss at the end of the episode where they try to go on a road trip to Pawnee
I bet she broke but they kept it in. I love it.
@@jd_molly yeah that’s what I think too
& I think Adam Scott momentarily broke after Aubrey smiled/laughed as well
"Because the little sister I do have is normal and not terrifying"
The time they were in DC together was truly iconic
wait when?
@@Od1nsBeard I believe it was the beginning of season 5
@@bexyPTX wait what’s DC?
@@Od1nsBeard The capital city of the US...
@@Od1nsBeard washington DC; not DC comics
Andy and Ben had the tough brother and smart brother relationship while April and Ben had the evil little sister and concerned older brother relationship it’s so awesome
Dude your name.....
@@arandomgirl306 At least he puts it out there up front.
3:18 so this is where Deadpool got the idea to kiss those he has threatened
@rodriboi I'm sure April was first
@rodriboi nah, pretty sure april was first
"I never cared for you."
*hugs*
April is such a tsundere *.*
“Sorry, dad.”
time stamp please
@@sigmoidsharer3012 Just watch the video it's within the first few clips.......
How old do those interns think Ben is?
I think it makes sense. He probably thinks they're in their early 20s, and he's doing the early 20s of 10 years prior
Also, I just realized it this time around, but the joke is that they think it’s nepotism because they all used family connections to get these internships-it doesn’t make sense to them that April would just be, like Some Gal and not the boss’s daughter. Of course, she DID know him beforehand, so it’s not that different from nepotism...but technically it’s not!
35
@@flanagain9661 She knew him beforehand from working with him. That's literally nothing like nepotism.
we should all take a minute to consider the fact that April absolutely ripping into Ellis was her giving '15%' effort... Imagine what she could do at maximum effort.
Maybe she could claw her way up to being an acceptable human?
She would be ruling the world at 100%.
Lots of people would be dead.
Presidency.
Deadpool level maximum effort probably
April: *displays affection*
Ben: Youre acting very strangely...
"Lemme get the aux"
"You better not play trash"
*Plays Benji's Cooltime Summer Jamz Mix
How do they somehow capture the sibling dynamic better than actual siblings in other shows? Love them lmao
Their chemistry is amazing
I don't know who April's father figure is, Ron or Ben, maybe Ben is the fun uncle? Older brother?
Definitely not the fun uncle. I could see older brother.
@@gretchenortner yeah, older bro fits very well
Ben's her Older Brother
He
litrally
says she’s like a little sister to him in the video
nooo theyre besties😭
I really wish we had got to see more of Ben's times with Andy and April. They were roommates for so long, they probably bonded quite a bit during that time.
''I'm gonna murder you.''
*I understand, just one sec*
That killed me, must be one of the funniest moments in the whole show, just... the delivery was perfect, and April's face after that
when he flips it and stops actually being scared of her cos they're close now, and she realises he's gonna just earnestly nerd at her like leslie would
The fact that it appears to be a Picard/Data fanfic is what gets me 😂
This friendship was totally meant to be, they're the two characters who do the most and best of "look straight at the camera as they're in the Office", which, I understand, comes from them being like outsiders in the normal social dynamics.
Apparently the scene between April and Ellis the intern was not scripted like that. Imagine how frightened he must’ve been when Aubrey improvised that😳
He actually stated in an interview that it turned him on
@@305Independent yeah looks like it
She’s fantastic
@@305Independent when did he say that
@@305Independent checks out
3:25
I can’t believe I never noticed April bullying a frat boy into submission 🥵
The outtake where she tells him to kiss her and then slaps him when he tries is so much funnier.
Honestly kinda want her to bully me too 😳
In an interview the dude said that scene turned him on.
@@Mr.Prongles dont be a simp dude .I mean i know its a joke but for real
@@dude9318 no
Ron and Ann is another cool seemingly unlikely friendship that happened in a way 🤣
Don’t you mean Jenny and Lester?
I love their friendship because it's so unlikely, they're an awesome duo
I love how she immediately regrets putting in the CD
They're honestly my favorite friendship, I wish they had more screen time
They're what siblings are like.
You are very lucky if you are like this with your siblings!!!
5:23 her smile is precious
I think she might've broke character there....
@@arandomgirl306 yeah she legit laughed at what he did. I did.
"If you ever speak to me in Spanish, please use the formal 'usted'" has got to be one of my favorite lines
I think they have good interactions because Ben was excluded from any type of event that required a social interaction since Ice Town and when he got to pawnee he made friends but still didn't behave like others would (being very closed off and stuff) and April hates small talk, most social interactions and loves sarcasm which they both are very good at so they connected after getting to know each other because they have similar mannerisms
I think April likes Ben so much because he’s so unabashedly boring and lame that he actually circles back around to being interesting. And he’s not fake. He doesn’t care that people think he’s boring. Most boring people try to fake being interesting, but Ben likes being boring. Although Ben doesn’t think he’s a boring person, he thinks he’s interesting, which just makes him even more genuine which makes April like him more.
I read a comment on another video that April fell for Andy because he doesn't pretend to be something he's not. He's unabashedly himself and just genuinely kind. And April dislikes people who pretend to be something they're not, and she especially hates fake happiness/positivity. Similarly, Ben is just his weird self, not pretending to be otherwise. It's that sincerity that makes her respect him. Interestingly, at 2:50 we see sincere *frustration* from Ben towards April, something people are not inclined to ever show. She appreciates that level of sincerity, and so it's no wonder she straightens herself out, and also Ellis.
Ben doing his entrance as Batman and Andy going completely quiet is still one of my favorite bits !
I love how Ben KNOWS April is more than capable of doing the job and doesn’t even need or want her to even give 50% effort the same 15% is enough.
Those two are so opposite that they make weird sense, almost like orderly older brother and chaotic little sister
April is best described by Donna during their "Spirit Dogs" episode:
"You are beautiful yet cold and aloof. You pride yourself on being a loner. You do not obey, you choose to cooperate. And when you stop baring your fangs to choose a mate, it's for Life; and you are Fiercely loyal to your pack which makes you a rare black Siberian Husky."
Craig: "That was so spot on it was scary..."
the funnier thing is donna is describing a cat.
The little kiss April gives Ellis after threatening him cracks me up.
Nose peck of Death lol
April: "I'm going to kill you."
Ben: "Oh no.....anyway..." **Continues to read his DataXPicard Fanfic out loud**
Ben trying to pull a prank makes me literally laugh out loud every single time😭🤣
The funny thing is that in that moment where April is telling these unrealistic rules to follow and Andy is being very casual, the dynamics reminded me of Cris and Ben being good cop bad cop when auditing.
Is it only me or does Ben's next gen fan fic actually sound good
Nah fr it’s something I would actually read on ao3
this is why i loved the few episodes where they worked together in Washington
@ 1:08 when Ben adjusts his cape is hilarious to me for some reason haha
I love how Ben is so open with the word "friend" it's legit the best thing.
There should have been way more scenes with these two! They are so underrated! :)
Honestly, this is a really unsung friendship pairing from P&R. Kudos.
"oh my god that is _soo interesting_ becAUSE IM A MAP SALESMAN"
ahaha april omg that's so abrupt
Seeing Ben genuinely mad for some reason was a good part. Like an older brother finally putting his younger sister in line
6:49 one of those CDs says “songs for a groovy summer”
They are amazing, both as characters and together. Plus, for all of their differences, they both have unusual hobbies and are very sarcastic.
Their sibling energy is amazing
the sibling energy is just so adorable
Ben is that big brother that looks doesn't care but care so much
4:19 is exactly why Ben is my favorite character.
"WHOA, YOU GOT BLOOD ALL OVER ME! Thank you, that was amazing..." 🤣😂
“if you ever speak to me in spanish, please use the formal usted.”
We love seeing a Father-Daughter bonding montage.
Anyone else want to hear the rest of the Star Trek fanfic?
Ben's prank was amazing
6:37 is the best way to describe their friendship. Fav scene ever
"She's not my daughter, she's my friend". Admitted they are friends.
Is no one talking about the hug at the end. It literally melted my heart
The part where they turned to look at the wall in the Congressman's office cracked me up so bad 🤣
4:37 - i really think this guy was an actual robot-
my favorite friendship on the show they love each other so much
6:09 I love this interaction
5:18 LOL that pause was just golden!
April’s face when listening to Benji’s Cool Times Summer Jamz Mix kills me everytime
Ben and April will always be my favorite characters on parks and rec!
April is the best character in parks and rec
What no, Leslie knope is.
@@livacreative I just love how unpredictable April is. You know every move Leslie is going to make but you don’t have a clue about April...
April is also the hawtest woman on the show.
@@JohnSmith-mk1rj agreed
I ABSOLUTELY 2nd THAT
The fact the Ben genuinely did write Star Trek fanfiction is amazing though
If you ever feel useless just remember there’s people who think it’s cool to comment first
Yeah, ew
First reply!
...
Oh, no. Wait.
I'm actually the second reply.
Wow.
You're right this is sad.
Jesus, who crapped in your cereal?
@@nightsassy4430 jesus
@@reagantaylor6950 Okay, maybe that was a little harsh
3:00 so wholesome
7:14 Her reaction is the *BEST*
Loved april chuckling at the "lets go!" line. Its so satisfying to see April and Ron specifically having moments
April and Ben has such a phenomenal relationship.
April breaking when ben stood at the door was pretty good
Soundtracks to Singles and Grosse Pointe Blank are really good.
Bens prank is so funny hahaha everytime omg
4:39
I love how Ben and April take a close look in the office! XD That congressman was super weird!
Batman is such a nice guy, he fixed their wifi for them.
I like the flick of his cape when he went around the corner.
I like how Ben finally figures out that the only way to get a rise out of April is to be even more surly and monosyllabic than she is.
Ben as the robot is the funniest thing in the show
Bens journey is amazing love his charachter so much.
I liked watching the relationship between him and Leslie grow. From absolute hate on Leslie's part to kind of joking around and flirting to when they knew how they felt about each other and couldn't really do anything.
"welcome to the terror dome" is incredible i'm stealing that
3:26 he got a kiss from April!! LUCKY!!!
'She's like the little sister I never had
...because the little sister i do have is normal and not terrifying'
April threatening that intern gave me harley quinn vibes
9:10 the moment she knew she was meant for her role in Legion
“Unexpected” he’s a geek and she likes weird stuff it was bound to be
Ben is so patient
There's nothing funnier on this show then when someone forces April to care.
