I think that people don’t talk enough about how Ron was abused and traumatized by every one of the Tammys possibly even including his Mother. After all why would he have such poor choice in Tammys if he didn’t have a poor model. Even the toughest most self sufficient guy on the show struggled with mental health. Remember this if you feel weak in the face of struggles. Even the best of us can struggle men and women.

When Diane (Lucy Lawless) was/on "Xena:Warrior Princess", she could always tells when Aries was around and would get pissed like Ron does. So for her to say, "I know that look" it's a call back to Xena sensing Aries😅. Fantastic writing🤗

[@britneys.1445]

As much as I loved the interactions between Ron and Tammy 2, I loved Diane for Ron because Ron deserved to have a normal woman in his life. He was traumatized by his mom, Tammy, Tammy 1 and then Tammy 2. To see him happily married again, with three children was actually great. And it was a plus that Diane could deal with his quirks and baggage.

[@NormAppleton]

...also Xena, Warrior Princess does nothing.

[@hector101997]

it genuinely hurts my soul how Ron reacts to tammy #1. that man was groomed since he was a child, traumatized, and every time he goes into that "mode," it's clear he's age-regressing as a defense mechanism... :(((

[@briantxcattleskull2752]

I wish they used the scene where Tammy 2 gets scared and run away when Tammy 1 was mentioned

[@Sonichero151]

2:14 i love how Ron's first instinct upon sensing Tammy 2 is to hide Diane's kids from her. That shows a good paternal instinct Ron is developing that he'll stand before Tammy 2 to keep her from those girls.

Megan Mullaly kills every role. There will never be another Karen Walker, or Tammy 2. Even her small character on 30 Rock was great too and that show is HARD to stand out on.

That would mean that Ron Swanson became a gynecologist at some point and dated Holt, which I would love because he is so much better than the Tammies

Ron had it rough in the female relationships department. Thank Heaven he gets a happy ending romantically w/ Diane, a platonic one of friendship w/ Leslie & Donna, & a paternal one w/ his three kids & sometimes April.

[@tajmahaltv1182]

His lifestyle and the interactions with all of the Tammys is a classic example of what Feud calls “Oepial Complex”. From an psychological perspective, his relationship with his mother which was traumatic had made him more vulnerable to women of the same name due to their personality and their association to his mother and so all of them are fighting to keep their control over him. Very interesting perspective.
