And It Smells Delicious, Just Like Toasted Oregano [TeeVee]

May 16, 2009 by cpaig

Tonight’s episode of JONAS is Slice of Life featuring the song “Pizza Girl.”

Will we fall in love with the pizza girl along with the rest of them? We’ll have to watch and see…

Even as miniature pizza toppings they are awesome.

Analysis after the jump!

I really liked this episode, though it is not my favorite of the three we have seen so far. That being said, all of the one lines and bits are sure to be much repeated and acted out for YouTube fan videos.

I feel it really doesn’t need to be restated that I enjoy all of the performance, though I do. My favorite moments for each were (in order of age):

Kevin’s grand, yet polite reaction to having his foot smashed. Mememoi and I theorize that this is how they approach most fan unpleasantness in real life. I think I am going to adopt the habit of saying “Yeah, that was awesome. Thank you very much.” when I get hurt in place of the string of profanities I think in my head while trying in vain to keep them from coming out of my mouth.
Joe’s great tuxedo scene. I just loved this. The James Bond (with a little Airplane/Naked Gun humor thrown in for good measure) was played extremely well.
I have to say I really liked Nick during the “the phone is ringing scene.” he does that little pinched face thing so well.

I have to say I am really liking their tendency towards absurdest humor and I am really glad there is not laugh track to ruin it (if anyone watched it on Disney last night there was a WOWP sneak peek in which the laugh track was, well, laughable).

I miss the white space jamming transitions parts though. The new ones are good. I like Kevin’s epaulets, but I miss the other ones.

Check out some of my favorite screen caps below!

The Lucas boys put on their best swoon faces as they pursued the pizza girl.

Awesomeness!

*Gasp!* You lost your white fluffy cat, Joe!

I narrow my eyes at you, Nick.

Share her?

All resolved…well, except for the over competitive sibling thing, but there is nothing you can do about that.

and the little plastic thing goes on AFTER the pizza comes out of the oven. No wonder the pizza tastes horrible

My fave moment:

Kevin’s adorable face at the end when he said: “She delivered garlic bread!”

“The phone is ringing!” “Thephoneisringing!” “The phone is absolutely way,way ringing!”

I wonder if they have started using any of their scripted phrases at home as a joke.

  I wondered that too. Also, I wish I could have “The phone is ringing…etc.” as my ringtone.

    LOL I didn’t even think of that but how perfect would that be? Too funny!

    my BFF had a ringtone with a woman’s voice saying “the phone is ringing … get the phone … answer the phone” It SO creeped me out! but totally hilarious

I loved when they turned to the camera to acknowledge their awesomness!

Loved the sweatpants discussion.

Loved Kevin talking about the 2 “playas” and Nick about the 2 “Mackdaddies” (and “Mackdangit, you’re good!”)

Very funny episode. I love all three of them. (Well, really the whole cast, but mainly, Kevin, Joe, and Nick. )

I had a number of laugh out loud moments; I’d have to watch again online to catalogue them! It didn’t make me laugh/cry like last episode but it was still very gleeful.

I really loved Joe in his askin’ out getup, the tuxedo with his hair all floppy and mussed. So silent film star!

  I agree, and I will also need to watch it again before I can really delver into it.
  
  Thankfully I will actually have time to do it tomorrow.

  I usually swoon over the casual hair but tonight I was actually desiring the Chi for Joseph … especially with the tux. But it’s OK. He was beautiful as always.
- on May 17, 2009 at 9:24 am merry27
  
  I thought he was doing a Scarface…..especially when he said “Marrria”
  so funny.

OMJ, the dialog, the dialog! So hilarious. Whoever is writing is funny. Really, really, funny. I do NOT typically laugh out loud at anything. Ask my family. I will smile, but it takes a lot for me to laugh out loud at tv. JONAS makes me laugh out loud.

‘Mack’ and ‘Daddy’ = priceless. ‘Lawless’ = priceless (total shout out to Jack, IMHO). Loved ‘the phone is ringing’. And I totally love Stella. She is beautiful and a great comedic actress. I want to know the background of how she is so close to the Lucas family. Seems like sort of a Maya K thing almost. I loved the entire episode.

Just when I think the next episode can’t possibly top the one before — it does. In spades. Oh, I am loving JONAS. Must tweet the boys and let them know. Even if they can’t possibly read all their tweets.

Coolmom&Cpaig—–I have come to know the 2 of you as Kevin gals and I got a hell of a surprise for you. Although it would appear that pictures and vids were prohibited at todays special LA show, there is some wonderful news that has come to my attention. Some girls that went today are saing on TJ that, are you ready for this————————————-KEVIN PLAYED PIANO ON THE SONG TURN RIGHT! I am almost unable to process this news. I hope he does that at every concert.
- on May 17, 2009 at 1:00 am coolmom823
  
  I’m guessing what they are talking about is that he was playing a pedal steel guitar. JB has said that one is used in “Turn Right”. As you can read in the description below, the guitar is on a horizontal stand, and there are pedals below. It would resemble a keyboard to someone unfamiliar with the instrument.

  I agree that it would be fantastic to see Kevin play one!

    Yup! Remember that press release – I was makin’ fun of whoever wrote peddle steel guitar … ha ha ha!
    
    Kevin is our Country Boy! I will ALWAYS be grateful to Kev for bringing me to the tremendousness of Mr. Keith Urban and Mr. Brad Paisley.

Here’s a picture of a pedal steel guitar:

  Aw, I’m so sorry to get your hopes up. Someone on TJ said that Nick said, “Give it up to Kevin on piano”

Loved tonight’s episode! My favorite moment: Kevin’s “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” CLASSIC.

The show is genius. I’m so happy that it is a smart-funny, and not slapstick funny.
Amanda, we squeed over the ‘Lawless’ comment, too! And Joe’s sidecar! I love they work these things in…

Even more awesome is that they showed the first two episodes before Pizza Girl! We just happened to turn the TV on early. Looking SO forward to tomorrow!

Anna, count me & my daughter in the ‘Kevin Gals’ category! Regardless what he was playing, I CAN’T WAIT to see it in person!

I am going to re watch before I give the run down, but I am re-watching Groovy Movies right now… I just discovered that one of the boys is saying Maya dance In the actual home movie) when nick is drumming.. it is so cute!!! I think it is Joe because he is dancing to get her to dance.. adorable…
on May 17, 2009 at 5:22 am ponedbyjb

Okay.. Here we go..

*Frankie’s why do you hate me

*Kevin’s “Hi” after “She’s already here dude”

*I like your inner beauty and zit free complexion

*Oo power slides in sweat pants; AWESOME!

*Have you guys tried sweat pants? There’s a lot more wiggle room.

*This is no fake laughing matter

*I love this song.. it is so damn silly, but i love it!! Proving they could sing the alphabet in jibberish and I would love it!

*Hey Joe, can I have the # to Picarillo’s?

*Sorry guys, a little too much fake dust

*What happens to the pony?

*their camera moment, re: their awesomeness

*the way Joe says Maria

*Joe looking all James Bondish in his tux (Purrrrrr)

*Oh please I can smell your body spray from here

*We’re lawless ♥

*The looks Joe & Nick give each other when they are arguing over coupons..

*Flowers, I’m trying to attract bees.

*I’m goin up against two real playas & Kev’s face while he says it & the fact his is taking notes

*Mac Daddies

*Nick looking up like he’s trying to find the music when stella’s senses are tingling.

*Mac & Daddy

*Mac dang it you’re good

*No, she’s hideous… why else would I ask her out

*Stella Hitting Joe (I think she meant it..)

*Joe’s Ow! asking Stella if she’s jealous (Kevin & Nick’s faces when he does).. it is almost like he is REALLY flirting.. there is such real chemistry there.

*Nick: the phone is ringing Kev: Oh, I’ll get it.

*The phone is ringing

*Joe mentioning his side car

*Crunchy Kats

*Kevin’s ringtone

*Captain suave

*Nick mouthing we could share you

*The way Stella looks at Joe after he says sorry for dropping the jeans

*How can we get it if you keep asking us questions

*I looked the most awesome coming down the pole

Eek!! Sorry, I got a little carried away… I have no doubt they use silly lines like the phone is ringing, and I have no doubt they can get that competitive at times.. I also love Stella’s boots she always wears.

I agree with Amanda it gets better every week!!! itunes is totally going to make me broke, but dammit I don’t care!!

I have to squee OT for a nano second.. i had a total girly fest tonight… the one and only Rob Hoffman sent me a tweet!!! Sondra I know he tweeted you too, but he has never tweeted me before! GAH! I will admit… I did a little dance… Crushin’ is such a silly thing, but it gives you such a fun silly little feeling.

Sorry, I will try to shut up now… WOOT WOOT for another episode tomorrow night.. Yep, definitely going to be broke, but those adorable faces are totally worth the poor house!

Thank you all for indulging my rambles.. ♥

  K, such a great job listing them all! I was tempted to list a bunch last night (I jotted down the lines I found amusing, and it was a lot!), but I decided to not “overwhelm everybody” (as if!)
  
  Another line I found particularly humorous – when Nick defends being dressed up by saying, “Can’t a guy get dressed up for his evening snack?”
  And Joe explaining the pizza coupons – getting all “serious” about how great they are.
  And Kevin defending his “attracting bees” line with (something like) “that’s the best I could come up with in the time I had.”
  
  Yes, the writers are doing a great job. I have been laughing out loud many times for the first three episodes!
on May 17, 2009 at 8:41 am amandalovesjb

You got ‘em all, K. I LOVE it!! So many of the above lines made me LOL. “Fake laughing matter” hahahaha.

That’s totes awesome Hoff tweeted you! I’m going to go look for it.

2 loooooooooong days of work for me today and tomorrow but I will try to catch up later. Everyone say a prayer for the Lakers today. It’s win or go home, and sadly, I will not be watching the game because I am WORKING. Sigh.

Anna, count me in with the Kevingirls.

K, you did an amazing recap of the highlights. Nicely done.

RE: Kevin’s new instrument, whether is is pedal steel or piano, I may have to have DD prepared to revive me. I don’t know if I will survive the joy.
on May 17, 2009 at 10:39 am Sonnnn

Pedal steel guitar = definitely cool. Robert Randolph plays it too. As does someone in every country act.

Good morning everyone!
