sorry, the *potential government shut down.

Let us know what compilation you want to see next in the comments!
From "Parks & Recreation": a mockumentary series following Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), the deputy director of the Parks and Recreation department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana.

I love how Ron is all for cutting expenses, but firing Leslie is a line he won’t cross

[@bobbodaskank]

He likes small government, and Leslie is like an entire government contained in one salary

I love that Ben and Leslie basically started as professional enemies, both completely standing against everything the other lives for. And they end up married with kids. Wild.

[@TheDirtysouthfan]

They don’t. Even in the shutdown episodes Ben admires Leslie and they drink together, sharing their common dreams of going into politics. Ben is just someone who is doing their job and won’t hesitate to fire his friends to do it.

[@jamainegardner4193]

To be fair I think that he actually paid it off too so maybe that helped improve his credit score?

[@doomedbringer]

Ya he’s a fun guy. Like how he came back for the final season after his stardom took off and worked in how ripped he got

[@Googar12]

Fun fact, the reason 12 is used in situations like that is because its the highest number that is only 1 syllable so it rolls off the tongue for comedic effect easily

Ron in fact did not enjoy camping with Ben.

[@JoesWebPresence]

@6:38 there's a generic store bought chainsaw in the background. Ron would NEVER own that sub-standard unit and the props dpt should have KNOWN it would have been a Husqvarna, Sthill, or at the least, a Jonsered. The axe was perfect. An authentic splitting axe with a hickory handle, but that cheap, sub-standard chainsaw really broke the spell for me.

[@toliycherneychuk1173]

That was a real masterpiece what Larry, Garry or Jerry was working on and Leslie just took it and chucked it into the water, that was so messed up, just let the man do something correct for the first time in his life woman!

[@lkgrave4959]

He's married to a woman who's a dead ringer for Christie Brinkley, he'll be fine.

[@trikstari7687]

The irony is Ron is supposed to be a parody, and in the end he was just right.

[@sertorrhenclegane]

It's fairly easy to figure out. As much of a pain as she is, she doesn't do what she does out of malice, she does it because she cares. She cares about her friends, her town, her state and country. She just happens to believe the path to a better world is a world where the government and the citizenry honor their obligations to each other. I have a friend who is very similar to that. Personally, I would rather be in a world where the government was a functional irrelevancy, but I can see his point of view same as hers.
