Parks and Rec Let Patton Oswalt Ramble On for Eight Minutes Straight About Whatever and the Result Is Pure Magic
One of the two Parks and Recreation episodes airing tomorrow features a cameo by the inimitable Patton Oswalt who demonstrates at length what makes him so inimitable.
Oswalt, playing an aggrieved Pawnee resident, invokes a local bylaw allowing for a citizen filibuster to prevent a city council vote from taking place.
For the scene, the show's producers asked Oswalt to "ramble a bit about whatever subject he wanted."
And so he did.
For eight magical minutes, Oswalt completely improvises a glorious rant about the Walt Disney Company's upcoming J. J. Abrams-helmed Star Wars sequel and the crossover possibilities that stem from Disney's ownership of Marvel Entertainment.
As the AV Club says: "Patton Oswalt's improvised Parks And Recreation filibuster will make you wish [he] was writing Star Wars: Episode VII."
