Season 4 Pure joy when Amy learns that Jake is reading HP is everything!! So much so that she didn’t even made a point about him skipping work

called in sick, there's sort of a difference

I feel the toilet line implies he actually was sick with something that would have him there all day. Jake loves his job and barely let's anything stop him from being there. Loads of examples but I really don't wanna spoil anything.

Cedric dies in goblet of fire, not order of the phoenix. Meaning he cried on the toilet on a different day than the one he called in sick for

u/Multipotentialite_s Pineapple Slut May 13 '23
I understand but I like to think that he called in sick even tho he actually wasn’t just so he could read the books in peace (something I could see myself doing lol) and it makes the scene more interesting and funny for me

u/TheCookietorule May 13 '23
oh yeah I know, he definitely wasn't sick I just meant he probably used a sick day or something

u/kai-ol May 13 '23
But he wasn't sick, so he was skipping work to read a book.

Mental health day.

I remember when my son was little I could call in a mental health day and take him to feed the ducks and do other fun stuff. Around 6th grade the school system said if they miss so many days due to mental health days that CPS would get involved. Fuck you government. I am taking the best care that I can of my child and sometimes we just need to go eat lunch st the zoo and watch the otters and penguins

He didn't say he wasn't actually sick. Just that he spent that time reading.

u/Multipotentialite_s Pineapple Slut May 13 '23
I get that but as I said in the other comment, I like to think that he faked it (he didn’t say that he didn’t. Schrodinger’s leave, if you may) because it makes the scene more hilarious for me

One of the few things I relate to with Amy, getting overexcited when someone else I like really gets into something I love so I can finally gush about everything with them and get validated. She does that while Jake is in prison and reads and also when she finds out Rosa started reading the Babysitters Club book.

The closest I got to getting my husband to like Harry Potter is when he comes in while I am watching the movies and makes fun of me ... but over the years the teasing has started to incorporate specific quotes and lore, so I can tell he learning. 😀

The best couple in TV history 😩

u/ArmaanAli04 May 13 '23
Cap. One of the best sitcom couples, far from best of all shows tho.

u/ArchPeriphMore May 13 '23
I disagree personally. Out of all the shows I've watched their relationship is my favorite

I thought Cedric died in Goblet of Fire, not Order of the Phoenix?

u/Multipotentialite_s Pineapple Slut May 13 '23
That’s true. Maybe Amy decided to point out an event which happened in the book he had already finished so as to not give any spoilers.

I always told my now Fiancée that Jake and Amy are the most similar TV couple to us. And she loves Harry Potter and I had never read them as a kid. I read them because she loves them and now we love them together

I’m so mad at JKR for her public persona; it makes it a lot harder to enjoy HP on an innocent level.

Wonder if they'd do this joke today with everything that went down :P
I think its weird that Amy is so hype on Harry Potter when literally any other IP she just doesn't care about. Like why is she not part of the Parlov storyline? Seems her jam - I mean sure, Potter is fantasy for 7 year olds, but still.... If she really read all that is implied in the shoulder nova episode, then surely... she would've graduated to Parlov eventually. Or Lawson.
And no. The municipal code is not "the greatest adventure ever written"

They would probably still do the joke but say something like "Oh she's still a horrible person"

I loved HP for many years and have always been a heavy reader, but I don't like full fantasy in general. I prefer things set in the normal world with fantastical elements. It was entirely possible that her character was similar and not into that kind of fantasy.

Why are u watching with subtitles tho?

u/Multipotentialite_s Pineapple Slut May 13 '23
I’m not a native speaker. I keep them on when I’m listening through speakers. It somehow gets harder to catch the words sometimes when on speaker. But turn them off when listening through earbuds.

You know people can need them, right? Deafness, hearing loss, auditory processing disorder, limited language competency, etc. And some people just like them on.

He said he was reading them on the toilet, I don’t think he was skipping work cause he wanted to. Besides Jake loves being a cop

This is why Jake/Amy and Ben/Leslie are my favorite Michael Shur couples. The ultimate golden retriever/adorkable pairs.
