Dumb as a (cop) rock

Mosaic arrives at the training facility to find that Apex is already filming helicopters and whatnot. Wes says that it appeared at this point that Apex was way ahead of them. Over "Ride of the Valkyries," we watch Apex's helicopter -- which it is having such a fine old time filming -- as it rises into the sky. The camera guy follows the helicopter, and as Apex fucks around having a good time playing like it's a videogame, they film a guy dropping from the helicopter to the ground. Which...looks exactly like a guy dropping from a helicopter into a practice field. The scene has "Non-Emergency Situation; This Is Only A Drill" written all over it. Raj, however, declares it "neat." Which I think sums up about where Raj's brain is on this task: "Helicopters are neat; therefore, we should have an ad with a lot of helicopters." Hey, it's the way my six-year-old nephew would do it.

Later, Andy is trying to get shots for the Mosaic commercial. Unfortunately, it's looking like it's going to rain. Andy explains that he had a specific list of shots he wanted, and the weather was on the way. Andy directs a shot of a bunch of cops breaking down a door -- shot nice and tight, so you can't tell where they are. In his interview, just as we watch him trying to cram in the shots he needs, Andy tells us that he didn't come to be weak; he came to win, and he pushed every timeline in order to make that happen. Andy grabs a shot of a cop saying, "It's your life; what's next? Join the force today." Which I think is a great line, not that the cop is a great actor. Because...not exactly doing King Lear at the local dinner theater, if you know what I'm saying.

Trump's overly portentous motto this week is "You Have To Love It." As we watch...the Miss Universe pageant...sigh...Trump says that in order to represent him and his organization, you have to be driven, blah dee blah, and love what you're doing. As Trump watches a Miss Universe pageant, he does a little chair-dance quite reminiscent of his groundbreaking Chicken Shack work on Saturday Night Live. I swear, he is the biggest dweeb in the history of ever. Some woman has her arched back tended to (huh?) as Trump explains that these excited, love-having people are the marvelous ones who do great things, or something. Is that Daisy Fuentes kissing Boyfriend Bill? Hmph.
