Ann and Chris (PART 1) | Parks and Recreation

[@adjutorai9427]

My favorite thing about Ann is that she's visibly exhausted and socially awkward most of the time and the two most important people in her life are inhumanly energetic extroverts

[@choryllis6646]

I think it's because both Chris and Leslie are aware that Ann is socially awkward and they don't try to force her to do extroverted things that she doesn't want to do. They respect her and her boundaries and they adjust their plans to include her in activities she feels comfortable with. They don't have an issue slowing things down if it means Ann gets more enjoyment. It's really sweet. Plus with how energetic the two are they probably are used to slowing down for other people (except for maybe Andy).

[@paulinegallagher7821]

@@choryllis6646 Actually Leslie pushes Anns boundries all the time!

[@HiddenAutumn]

I’m an introvert and I love extroverts for that reason. They totally energize me and make uncomfortable social situations more comfortable. 🙂

​@@CiderBearUntier yeah, very nice and considerate of him

[@HeightEnvy]

Drunk Ann kisses Chris. He's just like 'Oh, I like this. But NOPE, she's drunk, so off to the cab.' It's a low bar to clear, sure, but it's a subtle moment to clarify his character and intentions.

[@DogNamedWatson]

I love the way he looks at her after, it's so firm

[@asef-568]

​@Katelyn Panter what was that state about?

[@clarasundqvist6013]

my favourite part of that interaction is the little "hmph" sound he makes right after the kiss as he's holding her face. it's such a boyfriend sound to make and it was literally their first meeting which is just *chef's kiss*

[@MilotheShrike]

Honestly. One of the sexiest thing he ever did

[@wadeedirfan8137]

Chris was the character that really brought out Ann's awkwardness and developed her character. Before, no one really challenged her in any way and then Chris came along. I love their dynamic and it made Ann a really funny character and all her quirks really began to shine in the show.

[@hklegomaster]

Unpopular opinion : Ann and Chris' relationship is basically Ben and Leslie's relationship with genders swapped A low-key socially awkward one with a saner mind, and an over-energetic positive one

[@gerwique3146]

wow great point! At first I thought Chris and Leslie would get together for sure. But obviously it was better how it worked out :P

[@jennifermorrill5184]

I think they address that in the show when Ben and Ann are talking at her going away party. Ben gives advice on dealing with Chris and Ann gives advice on dealing with Leslie. They acknowledge how similar their loves are.
