The Mindy Project 1x07 "Teen Patient" (a gif highlight!)

I have recently discovered how to make gifs. They are magical. So magical, in fact, that I have decided to starting "gif highlighting" (is that a thing?) one great tv episode per week. I'm being predictable and starting with The Mindy Project. Teen Patient is not only my best friend's favorite episode but also one of the best episodes in the series--the amount of great one liners in this episode are astonishing...the writers for this episode are two of the show's best: David Stassen and Ike Barinholtz (who plays Morgan Tookers).  Enjoy the hilarity below.

Yes, Mindy. I would also rather read Iron Man than highly intellectual crap.

So Mindy has a teenaged neighbor named Sophia who is eager to grow up. Like, really eager. She reads intellectual books.

*ahem* I think we all know how you feel about Mindy's butt, Danny.

At the office, Danny has to deal with a lewd behavior complaint someone filed about Morgan "oogling" Shauna. Mindy knows all about that.

We didn't all spend time in Otisville, Morgan.

In their meeting, we learn that Morgan brings stray dogs into the office at night. And he likes to stare at beautiful things...but he promises to stop (in typical Morgan fashion).

slime...like from Ghostbusters?

Mindy goes to talk to Sophia and her boyfriend at school about sex, but she realizes she's not nearly as hip as she thought. Even though Ben, the sassy gay friend, wants Mindy as his doctor too (who wouldn't, right?)

beanbags...the constant struggle.

So it turns out Sophia and her boyfriend Henry are not ready for sex...big surprise...but why would they listen to a step-mom-aged woman who can't stay on a beanbag?

This is why we don't like Josh.

Sophia is mad at Mindy for interrogating her boyfriend, so she comes to lunch and interrogates Josh. Turns out Josh doesn't love Mindy the way Henry loves Sophia (surprise, surprise).

Back at the office, in an awkward turn of events, it was Betsy who filed the lewd behavior report because she's jealous of Shauna. Turns out all she needed was reassurance: "I think sometimes you just need your boss to tell you you look sexy!"

Not your best idea, Lahiri.

 Mindy decided the best thing to do for Sophia and her friends was to pass out free condoms during gym class. If you can't get them to stop, at least get them to be safe? (Maybe she should've handed them out in the parking lot after school.)

How about a slice? I'm starving.

Danny came to the rescue, of course. And we got to see them be all flirty in the school hallway which of course led to this...

Hang in there for 31 more episodes, buddy.

Sophia decided to wait, Mindy got slime, and Ben picked up right away on Danny and Mindy's smoldering sexual tension. Then, Mindy was kicked off the premises by the school cop.





Tune in next week for my next "gif highlight" (and I'll come up with a better term!)

*P.S: Did you not get any of these inside jokes? How dare you! Go watch this episode right away! Actually, just watch the whole show. 

*P.P.S: Sorry the format of this post is wacky...I don't know what I'm doing.
