NBC Comedy Spoofs Gates Arrest

Posted by on October 9, 2009 at 2:11 am

parkAs if Harvard doesn’t provide enough material for pop culture to crap on, the Gates incident over the summer will probably supply enough to meet satirical demand infinitely. The new NBC Office-inspired sitcom Parks and Recreation recently spoofed the arrest of the African American Studies professor, opting to portray an Asian perspective instead when Tom Haverford comes under suspicion for breaking into a van and is asked to “jimmy” his way out, to which he responds appropriately:

I’ll step out of your momma’s van.

So… when’s the beer summit episode going to air? Watch the comedic gold here.
