Earlier this season on “Parks and Recreation,” NBC ran a promo encouraging viewers to check out an online registry for the wedding of April and Andy (Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt). At the time, NBC said that it was a mistake — the registry was supposed to be for Ron and Tammy. Except that was a lie to cover the real mistake, as April and Andy did indeed get married on last night’s episode. Showrunner Michael Schur says:
“The promo that aired after ‘Ron and Tammy Part 2,’ which inadvertently gave away the upcoming wedding between Andy and April, was a simple human error on the part of some very apologetic NBC employees. In an effort to undo the spoiler, we publicly stated, in a number of interviews, that NBC had just accidentally gotten the character names wrong, and that there was no upcoming Andy-April wedding. We sincerely hope that fans of the show are cool with us gently lying to them, in an effort to maintain the surprise nuptials as much as we could.” [via HitFix]
Seems perfectly reasonable. What’s not reasonable is me when I have to deal with people crying about spoilers. Those people get under my skin, and in my emphatic effort to smack them down, I wrote this:
I’ll bet the folder containing all my corgi photos that April and Andy don’t get married this season.
And now I’m the asshole. The first person to point this out to me was reader Cole, who is now the proud owner of corgis.zip, which contains about 200 of my favorite corgi images. Go forth, Cole, and use those corgis wisely. I’ll find some new corgi pics after I finish my slice of humble pie.

I had totally forgotten about that faux-spoiler.
Great episode, very sweet and funny. Again, Rob Lowe dancing. greatest thing in my life
Cole is the luckiest sonofabitch in the world now.
The promo was a stupid mistake, but it didn’t hurt the episode one bit. I may have gotten teary-eyed during the wedding.
And I need Donna to help me learn how to flirt. She’s brilliant.
Just so we’re all clear, the INSTANT I find a GIF of Donna doing two shots of Jameson simultaneously, it will become the international “DG Gon Drank” symbol.
I hadn’t forgotten about it, but I just didn’t give a shit. Those two got married before I even finished watching season 2 and I just don’t care. It’s that entertaining.
On a side note, I’d have bet my left arm before betting corgis.zip. That’s just piss poor judgment right there.
(Banner pic, L-R) April; This guy; Andy.
DG, I swear I saw a gif of Donna doing shots on ONTD.
But navigating through the ridiculous number of posts there is pretty much impossible.
As I was watching the show unfold last night, I kept thinking “I wonder how Matt’s going to take this tomorrow.”
Well played, sir. Well played.
This is the best one I found so far. I love that lady.

tv is so fake, man. he’s wearing a colts jersey, yet neither of them are fat humps
Spoiling the story of a comedy is no big deal. Just don’t spoil the jokes.
I’m just happy to see Rashida Jones back on TV. I felt our psychic connection was wavering there for a while, but now we’re back in sync.
*adjusts tin-foil antennae, sits perfectly still*
What does Donna have to do to get her name in the opening credits? She really is awesome.
Patty: were you raised in the forest? Is your name “Nell”? From the movie “Nell”???
Is that that toothy girl from Mystic Pizza?
Someone made the Rob Lowe dancing Gif: [krys23.tumblr.com]
At least I’ve never put red streaks in my hair and made out with a guido, okay?!
Look on the bright side, Matt. This is the first day of the rest of your Corgi-loving life.
“Not only does that thing exist, but now you have deprived everyone of cake!”
“Walk it off, Ron.”
“Olan is behind me isn’t he?”
“just keep talking!”
Ah, but that’s what makes
RashidaAnn so wonderful, Patty! The fact that she could make such terrible mistakes … after the whole Mark thing, and “Season one” Andy…*empties bedpan*
I thought Ben nailed every one of his lines last night.
“No Orin I don’t know how I’m going to die, wait, are you asking me or telling me?”
I don’t get it. Why did they lie? “Uh, no, that was a mistake, they don’t get married.” And then they get married. WHO CARES ABOUT SPOILERS FOR SITCOMS FOR CHRIST’S SAKE? Happy Friday, everyone!
I ain’t saying shit.
Rob Lowe is fantastic on this show. Chris is quickly becoming my favorite character on the show… After Ron of course.
