I headcanon that Jerry actively allows himself to be the office's "Jerry," because he knows that if it isn't him, it'll be someone else and his self esteem is the only one high enough to take the brunt of it all
I think Ron Swanson was the only one that never made fun of Terry, Even though he never stopped others from doing it but still. And Chris was the only one that truly appreciated Terry.
He did but he got the happiest ending: a beloved mayor who died aged 100 surrounded by his loved ones. Plus he had a gorgeous wife and loving daughters to balance things out.
Poor Terry, they really do give Larry a hard time. They always forget Garry could be something, if only they were nicer to Lenny. Jerry could be the Mayor of Pawnee... hahah he fell over!
I always cringed when everyone made fun of Jerry. He is sweet, kind and deserved better colleagues. Especially, his mural idea. It was so beautiful. He really loved the people around him.
I love Amy Poehler so much, but I absolutely hated how she thought making fun of Jerry was going to be funny. It literally broke my heart everytime I saw a scene with them making fun of Jerry. Bullying at its finest.
@@wanderingseth I love the show and am obsessed with Amy, but the Jerry thing was too much. It broke my heart too. The worst thing is that it validates that you if you pick on someone like that society will think its funny. :( Its not true tho
The jokes were on the ones making fun of him cos he was the only one out of all of them who was actually happy and had an awesome wife and amazing children. All the others making fun of him were pretty much a mess-up in one way or the other
It'll be 3 or 4 things: his wife and daughters, his amazing future run as mayor, and the doctor commenting on how endowed Jerry is. Jerry absolutely deserves better, though.
I hate how mean they were to Jerry. I don’t think the other characters are bad people, but they were immature and disrespectful in this way. It’s something that they needed to work on as people because it’s not okay.
This is the ONE thing I hate about Parks and Rec. The mean-spiritedness that takes everyone over when dealing with Jerry often breaks with their established characters. It turns into bullying, and the last time I tried bingeing this again, I realised it had been ruined for me by relentless kindness of Schitt's Creek.
The only thing I could never approve of is how they treated Jerry on the show. But I reckon it wouldn’t be the same if they didn’t, maybe it’s one of the factors that make parks and rec such a great show. Who knows(?)
Why would whoever puts these Parks and Rec compilations together thinks “Everyone on Parks and Rec being mean to Jerry” was a good idea. This is the worst, most cringy, and flat out mean part of the show. This compilation seriously sucks!
I love this show, but how this was a component always make me feel like a bad person. I am thankful that in the end they made sure that Jerry had the best outcome
You don’t have to use the word fat to fat shame. In a time when people want to “see themselves” in TV and movie characters, every time they arbitrarily belittled Jerry, I was reminded of my own struggles to be taken seriously as a heavy person. No, they never made a direct joke about his weight. But would people have responded well if they treated a black, gay, or Muslim character like they did Jerry? Sorry for the soapbox. I love almost every other part of Parks and Rec. But Jerry just makes me sigh sadly.
@@blakecharles4501 Oh, I absolutely did. Your blanket dismissal only proves my point. Whether it's weight, race, or sexuality, reducing a character to a punchline perpetuates stigma and makes viewers who share those traits feel devalued.
@@DrthVictor being overweight is unhealthy. Being gay, Muslim or black is not. People have never been oppressed for their weight. It’s literally illegal to be gay in some countries. In some cultures being bigger is actually desired. And you said it yourself “they never directly made a joke about his weight.”
@@blakecharles4501 Let's break this down: "Being overweight is unhealthy." So that makes it okay to marginalize Jerry? "People have never been oppressed for their weight." Oppressed can be debated, but discrimination is undeniable. Weight bias affects job prospects, healthcare, and social opportunities. "It’s literally illegal to be gay in some countries." True, and that’s horrific. But acknowledging one form of discrimination doesn’t invalidate another. Discrimination based on weight is also harmful and pervasive. "In some cultures being bigger is actually desired." You mean in a few African tribes and some Polynesian islands? That’s not the reality for the majority of the world, especially here in the USA, where thinness is often idealized. "And you said it yourself 'they never directly made a joke about his weight.'" Directly calling out his weight isn’t necessary for it to be a factor. LeVar Burton, for instance, expressed concerns about his Geordi character on "Star Trek" never having a stable relationship, fearing it reinforced stereotypes about black men and relationships, even though race was never directly addressed. People make associations and these can reinforce harmful stereotypes.
@@DrthVictor I never said it was okay to marginalize Jerry. Where did I say that? Oppression cannot be debated. In terms of social discrimination what have you done to change your weight? Unless you have a medical condition preventing weight loss being overweight is not permanent. Being overweight affects job opportunities requiring physical activity. Being overweight affects your ability to be physically active. It affects healthcare because you’re not healthy. You cannot prevent being gay or being black. You can (outside of certain medical conditions) prevent being overweight. Like I’ve said being overweight is unhealthy and without medical conditions is not permanent. Comparing weight based discrimination to racism and homophobia does absolutely invalid racism and homophobia. They never made a joke about his weight. He’s also around the same size as Donna who is regularly shown to be successful in her social/dating/economic pursuits. It’s a common trope to have someone to “pick on” in a sitcom. Parks and rec had Jerry and the office had Toby. There’s even the whole “Tom is the new Jerry” episode. It’s not about his weight. Should overweight characters be treated differently? Would the treatment of Jerry be more okay with you if he was thin?
I headcanon that Jerry actively allows himself to be the office's "Jerry," because he knows that if it isn't him, it'll be someone else and his self esteem is the only one high enough to take the brunt of it all
or that's he's purposefully incompetent so that he won't be promoted to another position to stay close to gale and his daughters
I applaud this post. Big time.
This is the most beautiful thing. i tots agree!!! he's adorbs
I think Ron Swanson was the only one that never made fun of Terry, Even though he never stopped others from doing it but still. And Chris was the only one that truly appreciated Terry.
ben never made fun of him, either.
Ben also stood up for Jerry
Jerry deserved better. I'm saying it.
you mean Larry
Delete this
He did but he got the happiest ending: a beloved mayor who died aged 100 surrounded by his loved ones. Plus he had a gorgeous wife and loving daughters to balance things out.
And he got better
*Terry
Poor Terry, they really do give Larry a hard time. They always forget Garry could be something, if only they were nicer to Lenny. Jerry could be the Mayor of Pawnee... hahah he fell over!
😂😂
NGL, the “murinal” scene actually breaks my heart a little
Same
I always cringed when everyone made fun of Jerry. He is sweet, kind and deserved better colleagues. Especially, his mural idea. It was so beautiful. He really loved the people around him.
I'm glad they toned it down after the first few seasons. It felt so bad to watch. I don't know what the writers were thinking.
It always broke my heart
I feel you. It wasn't even consistent with their characters when they would all turn on him and be so nasty. I prefer Schitt's Creek now
I love Amy Poehler so much, but I absolutely hated how she thought making fun of Jerry was going to be funny. It literally broke my heart everytime I saw a scene with them making fun of Jerry. Bullying at its finest.
Right??? I don't understand how the meanness is funny. It hurts me every time I watch P&R. Now I prefer Schitt's Creek
What do you mean it was her idea
@@wanderingseth I love the show and am obsessed with Amy, but the Jerry thing was too much. It broke my heart too. The worst thing is that it validates that you if you pick on someone like that society will think its funny. :( Its not true tho
@@wanderingsethstop shilling this show nobody's heard of
@@wanderingsethhurts you? Grow a backbone loser
April’s face when Jerry says “twout” instead of “trout” 😂😂
The jokes were on the ones making fun of him cos he was the only one out of all of them who was actually happy and had an awesome wife and amazing children. All the others making fun of him were pretty much a mess-up in one way or the other
I don’t blame Jerry for not inviting the bullies to his Christmas party what a bunch of jerks
He did they just didn't look at his email because jerry sent it
@@zacrempel2673 yeah buts nice to see these clowns get the just desserts
Jerry winning compilation next?
It'll be a short video...
@@philliptivis3082 Definitely, but he deserves a winning compilation
It'll be 3 or 4 things: his wife and daughters, his amazing future run as mayor, and the doctor commenting on how endowed Jerry is.
Jerry absolutely deserves better, though.

Even lesie treated him like a rabbid dog poor Garry
Edit: early leslie was insufferable in general lol loved how they developed her character tho
Leslie's impression of Tom is better than Tom plays Tom 10:45
Andy's lil "give it to him" at 1:41 is so sweet!!!
Tom: Do any one of you have a pacemakers or a history of epilepsy?
Gary: Yes both.
Tom: Anyone? Anyone?
Gary: Yes Both!!
Tom is savage for that😂😅😂.
fun fact, april is meanest to the people she likes most, shes super mean to jerry, so she likes him a lot
I don't see her being mean to Andy.

I actually enjoyed it
I always disliked this about the show.
If baby daffy was in this he be taking the last of something before Jerry gets it like cookies soda
Jerrys got a massive hog and a hot wife. Hes doin alright.
Worst and least funny part of the show. Feels like Michael Schur lost a bet and was forced to include an awful running gag as punishment.
I thought his name was Terry, or Mary, or Larry.
Leslie: licks jerry’s stuff
RUclips people: Me next!
😂
Im surprised this video wasn't over an hour long
wait his name is Jerry??? I thought it was Garry or Larry.... well i hope they stop bullying Terry
Poor terry
Wait a minute, why does his mom’s journal refer to him as “Gerald” when his real name is supposed to be Gary?
…Who ARE you?
If baby daffy was in this the only thing he would say that what he likes about Tom is the way he always bully Jerry
11:36 okay second sad
I probably won’t watch this series a second time due to my immense hatred for Tom, which is a shame. He is just an unbelievable horrible person
How was Ron being a jerk to him when they were fishing together?
(4:59) Ron seemed to have forgotten his own Pyramid of Greatness about fish.😂
I love this show, but how this was a component always make me feel like a bad person. I am thankful that in the end they made sure that Jerry had the best outcome
Rons face at the end of the last scene always sends me hollering 😂
I love Leslie's impression of Tom. The mannerisms are spot on
The way they treated Jerry just turned me off of this show.
Poor terry, Larry, Jerry.
Toby Flenderson - First time?
At least Jerry had the confidence to treat Kyle with the respect he deserved. NONE
Leslie giving Jerry peanuts headphones and a catalog😂
Poor uhhh….Gary?
7:19 that is the only sad excuse
Yes both 😮
Great so when one of the character stand up to Jerry when he gets pick on they’ll be hypocrite
Tom's a straight up savage!
Tom is a selfish creep.

There’s no way you compared being over weight to being gay or being a person of color.
