Someone said I reminded them of Ron Swanson. I've never seen the show, so I pulled up this compilation. I now know they gave me the greatest compliment of my life.
Even though he doesn't say a word, the circle desk is one of my favorite Ron moments. "There's a sign in Ramset Park that says 'Don't drink the water', so I made sun tea with is and now I have an infection. Sir? Sir? Sir, did you know that there's waste in your water?" Lose it every time. 😂
They'd immediately bond. Then clash over some vague piece of dogma. Then they A) declare a family fatwa on the other and become mortal enemies. B) stay friends but constantly try to "kill" each other as a "joke". 😆
"Truthfully i barely registered his attack." "He's incredibly frail and his arms are weak." "When i punched him he dropped so quickly that i thought he was diving towards the ground." "I regret nothing, the end." Pure gold!
It’s the instant heel turn on Ron 2 when he talks about conservation, for me. It’s so fun watching Ron transition from happy and excited school boy who found a kindred spirit into an annoyed, furious and petulant child in the blink of an eye. Nick Offerman is a genius.
Ron: I don’t care about anyone Also Ron: appreciates Leslie, advises April, takes care of Andy like his own child, is considerate of Diane and her children, guides Chris about his baby, and gets depressed when he realizes they all moved on.
I love how Ron goes to a restaurant called "Frank's Restaurant". It's simple and straight to the point. It's a restaurant owned by Frank. It's so very Swanson-esque.
They have a lot of really great comedic actors on this show. Even the lady jogging around the desk trying to maintain her polite composure while complaining about the sprinkler water is just perfect.
Reminds me of the time when I was about 10 or 11 and my dad took me out for a special rib dinner because I got above a B on some big test. The look of horror on the waiters face when I ordered a "date meal" meant for 2 grown adults and ate the whole things and a dessert was something I've never forgotten
@@Northerner-NotADoctor Exactly. Most introverts like to keep to themselves and dislike things and people they have no interest in. Why is it that people compare society to something that is made for people who are extroverts?
I love the fact that besides Ron being disgusted by almost everyone surrounding him he can tolerate the little kids and lets them play with him. The kids are playing with the lion's mane

I like before he has his little attack after seeing the mushrooms, Ron puts the tongs back up because even during “a time of crisis”, Ron respects his tools.
The hernia: He wasn't working over time, because that would imply that he was *working* which isn't true, as he was just sitting in his chair, too in pain to move.
Reminds me of a story my girlfriend had when she worked at a deli years ago. A customer came to the cashier and complained that the fried chicken she pulled out of the dumpster in the back (which shouldn’t have been accessible) had some red meat that she had the displeasure of having in her mouth. Demanded a refund for something she didn’t even purchase.
You know ron swanson is unironicly an amazing role model, a great teacher, an amazing father figure, and last but, certainly not least one of the best politicians ever.
What i love most about Parks and Rec is that it's one of the few TRUE ensemble comedies. Every single character is fully fleshed out. You can imagine the entire arc of the show from each character's POV. So well done!
Except April. Near the end, it's like the writers forgot what her personality was supposed to be like so all we got were random moments watching a girl try too hard to act weird instead of actually being weird like she was in the beginning.
@@thexshattered bro, that's her arc, she becomes more mature and hates it so she tries to act weird but it isn't as much a part of her personality as it was in the begining

Ron: "When I came in this morning and saw the flag was at half mast, I thought alright another Beuracrat at it. But then I found out it was Li'l Sebastion. Half mast is too high, show some damn respect." love this line.
"I also think it's pointless for a human to paint scenes of nature, when they can just go outside and stand in it" is quite possibly the most profound sentence to ever exist 😂😂😂
My favorite Ron Swanson line:
"Hey Ron are you busy? "
"I work for the government . Im never busy."

A customer came to the cashier and complained that the fried chicken she pulled out of the dumpster in the back (which shouldn’t have been accessible) had some red meat that she had the displeasure of having in her mouth. Demanded a refund for something she didn’t even purchase.
That lady was such a great actress tho
“ No I’m not wasting 20 year scotch” underrated line.
Imagine a dinner party with Ron Swanson, Michael Scott and Raymond Holt
Ron Swanson, Dwight Shrute, Raymond Holt, and Chidi Anagonye
Yes
Didn't Nick Offerman play one of Holt's exes once?
@@ThinkingFandom the obstetrician
And he was supposed to play Shaw on TGP, but sadly he passed
"did she make a promise"
"What constitutes a promise?"
"A quid pro quo?"
"Oh you know latin?"
lololol
“Are we done?” 😆
This came on as a scrolled to this 🤣
That guy was so kind not to continue asking lol
“Sexual history?”
“Epic... and private”
Ron is a true hero
One of the greatest characters ever written, and acted
Best comment section ever
50% of comments: Ron quotes
50% of comments: complimenting Ron
A better man can never exist
not bad but have to disagree. ruclips.net/video/Yw74sDWPH7U/видео.html&ab_channel=SteveVaiHimself watch video first before reading comments.
Doesn't matter where you stand politically, Ron Swanson is awesome
@@MasterofVirology exactly. i find it even funnier that in real life, the actor is actually liberal.
This comment is ruining the stats. Please delete it
Perfectly balanced as all thing should be
“Your house isn’t haunted, you’re lonely” 😭 best line
You know ron swanson is unironicly an amazing role model, a great teacher, an amazing father figure, and last but, certainly not least one of the best politicians ever.
What i love most about Parks and Rec is that it's one of the few TRUE ensemble comedies. Every single character is fully fleshed out. You can imagine the entire arc of the show from each character's POV. So well done!
Except April. Near the end, it's like the writers forgot what her personality was supposed to be like so all we got were random moments watching a girl try too hard to act weird instead of actually being weird like she was in the beginning.
@@thexshattered bro, that's her arc, she becomes more mature and hates it so she tries to act weird but it isn't as much a part of her personality as it was in the begining
@@saltypretzel4154 agreed, but the whole Jerry thing was irritating at times. I’m glad he got a decent send off though.
Donna isn't really fleshed out tbh.
There are literally so many Ensemble Comedies out there! What you talking about?
“I’ll have the number 8,”
“That’s a party platter. It serves 12 people”
“I know what I’m about son”
Big mood
of this compilation that may be in my top 3
“ there is a sign outside that said do not drink from the sprinkler, so I made some tea with it” lmao
As a phone tech support guy, we get many of the same quality conversations. Remember, these people also have voting rights.
@@Arcaneraven I am so sorry you have to deal with that. These people truly need to be mentally evaluated.
...and sun-tea takes time to brew/incubate...
@@Arcaneraven
I can never handle that. Jeez
Sadly these kinds of people are real.
“We still never talk sometimes” Ron is the best 😂😂😂
*Gunshot*
Everyone: screams
Ron: oh sorry, that's my new ringtone
Mine is the Mario Coin sound effect, so I can get multiple notifications really quickly.
You don’t need to repeat what we just saw in the video, ass hole.
Mine is a cannon shot, loud but funny as hell
lol
@@VanceRefrigeration Wow, was that vicious response really necessary? It's funny 2 share Ron's quotes in the comments, that's the point - 2 laugh & continue 2 laugh (we call that humor & positivity). Who killed ur soul friend?
I'm sorry [for] you that you have so much anger & bitterness inside bc you probably haven't experienced much joy, happiness & laughter in life [so far], but I pray that changes 4 you!🙏🏻
When in doubt, remember the Golden Rule:
*DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.*
Man was willing to die over wasting a 20 year old scotch, fucking legend...
*Damn right* 🙌
Damn straight!! McCallan 🖤
That is powerful.
Any good man would follow his path
@George Washington ew
Ron Swanson is how I imagine a modern day Teddy Roosevelt would be
**takes a bullet from an assassin and gives his speech anyways, saying "it'll take more than that to put down the bull moose"**
Just an unbearable arse?
Exactly. Same here. Real impersonation of Teddy Roosevelt except that he built a lot of national parks and Ron was completely opposed to it .
@@Srinidhi00726 He ends up working in one at the last season, he is not against it
@@Srinidhi00726 Ron wasn’t opposed to national parks. In an episode he said that it was the only branch of government that’s worth anything.
The older I get, the more I relate to his energy on a spiritual level
I legit died laughing when his gunshot ringtone scared that whole room.
How did you write this comment then?
Sorry to hear of your demise, rest in peace.
@@malabuman2463 aye, may he or may he not be missed by close and/or random people, and maybe dog.
Note to self...get gunshot ringtone.😜🖖🏼👨🦰

So....we're talking to a dead guy, interesting.
ron swanson’s laugh is the most wholesome thing
Addie Maroney that and his tantrum run
Best part is that is how he laughs irl
Can everyone just stop saying wholesome?
It's his real laugh too which makes it even better
@@anonymousshitposter1743 well then you'd have to erase it from the dictionary
"He's a grown man. Fishing's not that hard'" Inspirational.
fishing. for sport only, not for meat.
Ribbons0121 R121 fish meat is basically a vegetable
“I have successfully ignored it” is a line only Ron can say about a health issue
Ron Swanson is proof that you can love your country and hate your government. It's not democrats or Republicans he hates, he hates the government. I like this man
Pretty certain he hates democrats. Even more so the way democrats are today.
The current government is flawed and a teeny bit corrupt.
And hypocritical as all hell.
@@Wanderer21766 so was the previous one
@@MasterofVirology
What previous one? The US government has been the same since the Revolution lmao.
Different laws all the time, but the same name is “US government.”
@@Wanderer21766 if you think only this government is corrupt either you're not paying attention, or you put party before reality. Biden government is corrupt, so was Trump's.
"The sign at the park said to not drink the sprinkler water, so I made tea out of it"
This is why Swanson hates his job.
And it's very realistic😂
It was actually sun tea as in water heated in the sun
@@shirogane5972 point still stands
@@slimeinabox I know I'm just saying she didn't even try to boil it
It's more common than you'd think
“Are the scissors broken in your house, son?”
Phoenix Parrot yea
This one kills me every time
imagine him asking that to ryoko matoi
I know more than you
Yandere dev:
Chris was outta pocket for bringing a vegetable loaf when he was supposed bring cake 😂😂😂
Grounds for immediate termination 😂😂
“I know more than you,” is the greatest line ever spoke in television history! Ok, well sitcom history at least.
it's even better because ron's dressed like a jedi and looks like some nerd cosplaying
"Is there a project your working on?"
Ron: I know more than you
"Alright"
I was dying...
“If you don’t believe in love there’s no point in living.” -Ron Swanson
That is the only point i disagree with ron on
@@andersstroem8310 may be thats the reason you write o that way
It's odd when Ron Swanson tells you to kill yourself
I believe in love just not getting married
April's initial look of excitement bordering on arousal when Ron whips out the pliers is GOAT-tier.
"Not only does this thing exist, but you've denied everyone a cake."
Love the fact that Leslie knows him so well that she tells Ron to take a walk and he respects her so much he does.
“I like Ron.”
“I no longer like Ron.”
"enjoy the fact that your royal overlords are a frail old woman and a tiny baby" IM DYING OF LAUGHTER
Lol
Masterpiece. So many amazing quotes and scenes. I'm watching this video for the third time
Ron: "When I came in this morning and saw the flag was at half mast, I thought alright another Beuracrat at it. But then I found out it was Li'l Sebastion. Half mast is too high, show some damn respect."
love this line.
MrBlindsight1 I think you’re trying too hard to get likes on you comment.
Love this line.

My favorite line
Beuracrat ate it*
as in eating a bullet
@@bluewuppo Sorry bureaucrat cut education funding so now I'm illeter"ate" my bad for missing a letter.
I've never watched an episode of Park and Rec but this man is already my spirit animal.
Watch it, you will love him even more
Watch more, you will learn that ron despises hippie ideas like "spirit animals"
@@matheussanthiago9685I don't think he would hate it...I think he would want to hunt it.
I love how Ron has a father like connection to April. He even smiled when she used the trick that he taught her
Its a true one. words not even required.
"I also think it's pointless for a human to paint scenes of nature, when they can just go outside and stand in it" is quite possibly the most profound sentence to ever exist 😂😂😂
Art imitating life imitating art 😱
Love that episode!
what if you can't walk?
@@maxdecphoenix they can be wheeled out into nature dammit 😂
@maxdecphoenix crawl.
“Sexual history?”
“Epic, and private”
I’m using that next time for sure
