The whole time they were scrambling for a wedding all I could think about was all the vendors they were smurfing over, especially the restaurant they went to all the trouble to pick out. Though they did get the guy out of bed to serve them waffles last minute at least.
I guess I didn't see any of that as awkward. At the corespondance lunch I LOVED:

Leslie: I just opened a can of whoop ass on myself!

Leslie: Oh Ann, you’re too beautiful to be funny. It’s not your fault. You’ve never had to compensate for anything. The rest of you ugly nerds need to give me some jokes, stat.

And then Chris' reaction shot to being called ugly. Oh my god. I cracked the smurf up. Probably one of the best moments.



I wouldn't say any of this was "awkward" humor. I don't like awkward humor so much. The Office is pretty much all awkward humor. This is just humor humor.

Leslie demands a lot from her friends, but look how much she does for them in return. The fact that she is such a loving friend is the reason why these people are so willing to help her out when she needs them to. It's one of the best qualities about the show, how much they all just LOVE each other.
