It's the best but I'm a firm believer that Ron would learn to respect cats if he had one. A silent, tiny hunter that demands you respect its boundaries and only shows affection on its terms. Cats are great.

[@nthgth]

​@@citrusbitten8449when you put it that way, that makes a lot of sense. I totally see him silently warming up to cats if say, Diane and the girls had one. He'd respect that the cat doesn't care if he respects it or not.

[@ILuvAyeAye]

@@jonny-b4954 I'm pretty sure it's Sun Tea, it was a big trend a while ago (I think around when this was getting filmed) and then there were people saying it's dangerous because it can grow bacteria. So her saying she made Sun Tea with poop water is even funnier.

[@coreybarnwell2621]

The kid that used to work for me would always get everyone on every job site calling me Ron Swanson, but I had never watched this show until recently, so I never understood why. I would have to be the bearded version of Ron. Same diet, pretty much the same skill sets, mostly similar beliefs, just maybe not quite as strict as Ron, and that would definitely be my dream job at the end. I guess I understand now.

[@user-gb3vi4gs5r]

It's honestly a huge compliment. Ron is a character with many qualities, from being a great human being to a great friend. He has his flaws like anyone else, but he is a loyal and sincere person.

Ron’s reaction to Leslie booking Lil Sebastian for the Harvest Festival is my favorite moment of the show.

Ron paddled Pawnee Lake every day until his death at the age of 97. On his death bed, he ate the entirety of a 48 oz porterhouse and a bottle of Logavoulin 150 year old, barrel age, single malt. His final words were, "End of life." He took one last shot and leaned back in his bed. Tammy 1 then closes his eyes. The camera pans to Tammy 1 and reveals she hasn't aged a day. 😲

[@iMishi0219]

22:46 okay but this actually flew over my head the first time I watched it 😂 the transition was so seamless, the way they continue Chris's laugh into the restaurant scene (which distracts us from the change in background noise) and starting close up on Ron's face so we don't notice the environment until the camera pulls out. Chris goes "we should order" and most people would be like "hm? order? weren't they at the government building?" but then they have Chris continue on about his order and we as an immersed audience try to focus on the details of the order instead of the transition. and it's not until Ron gives the play by play that people go "oh what?" and replay the scene, realizing what just happened (it still took me watching this compilation to figure it out 😭) what an incredible gag, I wanna know who came up with it
