Parks and Rec will feature two episodes tomorrow night, and Vince won’t watch them because he hates America, but our favorite stand-up comedian and nerd god Patton Oswalt will make a cameo in the second episode as yet another insane Pawnee resident with a problem that has nothing to do with the greater good of the fictional city.

Parks producer Dan Goor apparently told Oswalt just to improvise a filibuster about Star Wars, and the result is the greatest rambling mash-up of Star Wars, The Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men and Clash of the Titans that anyone could ever pull out of thin air. Seriously, this is f*cking beautiful and I’m going to watch it at least 600 times this week.

One of these things is going to be played by Chris Pratt.

While the biggest nerd boner Marvel Studios/Avengers movie rumor of the week is still the idea that the 2016 Incredible Hulk movie will be based on the Planet Hulk series and The Avengers 3 will possibly involve the World War Hulk story, the more realistic news is that it appears that Guardians of the Galaxy finally has a star. In fact, you could say that the film has a Star-Lord, because that’s the role that has been cast. That’s why you could say that.

Set to hit theaters in 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy will reportedly have Parks and Rec goofball Chris Pratt as its lead half-human, half-alien superhero tasked with helping the Avengers take down Thanos. While there’s still no word on who will voice Rocket the Raccoon, I’ve got $5 that says it’s Larry the Cable Guy.

So how do we know that Pratt’s going to be the main man even though we haven’t heard him mentioned once? Because someone just TOLD YA.
