[@dewberrystar]

"I saw her crying and so I helped" is lowkey an attitude that more people should try to adopt ❤

[@nj_jocelyn]

I’m like that all the time and some people are put off by it. A lot of people are haha. Growing up I thought I was like Leslie but as I get older, I get more and more like Chris which has been nice to see happen in myself.

[@dewberrystar]

@@nj_jocelyn I guess it's because many people are just not used to kindness anymore, everyone thinks people have ulterior motives so even if you try to help, it makes people uncomfortable. Sad, really 😔

[@mugundhan9b298]

😢❤❤

[@Heyitsmehyuppp]

In college I sat on a bench outside my ride's classroom and cried while waiting for her, and a guy walked up to me and said "Oh you look like you're crying" and when I said "I am" he went "oh" and walked away.

[@nj_jocelyn]

@@Heyitsmehyuppp damn, why would he comment about it if he wasn’t going to offer help? I hope you did something nice that day for yourself and got to understand that you are strong enough to make it through that stress and also, I’m glad you were able to take that moment for yourself and let yourself cry. 💕

" I know isn't it awful!" With positivity, enthusiasm and a smile😂

"Stop... pooping!" made me die laughing when I first saw that scene haha

[@KindNine]

poopin'

[@dorkporkknobslob9918]

Same. I DVR’d it and had to pause it for like ten minutes. And the. Rewatched it again and paused it for another ten minutes. I also miss when they did the directors cut episodes with like 15 minutes extra footage. That line was ad-libbed by Rob Lowe too!

[@374jr]

Same 😭

[@lisapiche8900]

“The best character? Of course not. But an amazing character played by an amazing actor? Absolutely.” That’s a quote from Chris. 😂

[@jawwadkhan8982]

The show's best character rightfully so

[@IvhanSiete]

"Hey little guy what are you doing.... oh no"

[@triggerbunny]

How did I ever forget that Chris kissed Ron?!? Ron's reaction was priceless. Plus, that scene really shows how much Ron likes & respects Chris. Admitting his birthday, then just having the most adorable & perplexed gaze after the smooch.

[@Dobbyisfreelmao]

I forgot about hat too haha That scene is priceless

[@mhxistenz]

I, literally, LOVE Chris! He's so well-meaning. Rob is perfect in this role.

​@@joshmciver4847What Would Chris Tragger Do

[@maximillian875]

I completely forgot about that scene where he helps that distressed woman. What a hero. I love how intimidated Andy was from Chris’ German. Ann looks so cute when she remembers kissing Chris.😊 I thought it was going to end with “I’m dead!👍” Lol

[@AqvaSerpentis]

1:00 I like how he asked for Ron to hold him, not because he needs it but just because he’s trying to strengthen the friendship with a small gesture

[@sarahberkner]

That would be a little creepy imo, especially knowing how much Ron would dislike that.

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

Ron’s brain short-circuited when Chris kissed him.😳 His expression was hilarious though.😅 Also, Chris getting Ron the circular disc created comedy gold.😉😂

[@YouLousyKids]

"Stop!...POOPING!" is just so adorable. The man is so healthy he's forgotten that he poops.

[@dorkporkknobslob9918]

[@lilliansahara8625]

[@zztopz7090]

I have to say, if anyone else plays Chris Traeger the character would be dull. Its all about delivery and believability. Who else could play someone so sincerely wholesome yet funny?

[@Mubashir_AK]

The "Anne Perkins" compilation was everything.

[@Mullet-ZubazPants]

Normally I'd hate a person like this, because it's almost always a phony facade of positivity. But you know Chris is sincere, and it's hard to hate him for it

[@sarahberkner]

You are kind of right about it being a facade, he was actually depressed and needed to go to therapy and was trying to be positive to avoid being depressed. However, I have pity on someone like that I wouldn't hate them for it.

[@suitedpanda3108]

[@tb7667]

I liked season 1 and 2, but I think Ben and Chris replacing Brendanaquitz probably saved the show.

[@adrv5721]

That's facts.

[@danielgiovanniello7217]

I could never really stand Brandanaquits tbh. I don't know what it was about him that I hated so much, but I just found him SO unlikeable. I'm pretty sure the show was on the verge of cancellation before Chris and Ben.

[@willowpendragon923]

I want a Funko POP of Chris Traeger already!

[@holiggan2008]

I still remember Rob's character in The West Wing, and seeing him as Chris, having so much fun with the role is just a testament to how good of an actor he is, and how much he seemed to want to go in the opposite direction from a mood perspective. What a great TV show, Parks and Rec.

[@divyasasidharan2960]

April n chris last scene made me cry hes such a good actor

[@tracyxavierleetowertaylor1503]

Chris and Leslie are the two ficticious characters I look up to the most. They taught me that positivity is hard during turmoil, but that it's always worth trying anyway.

[@raddastronaut]

This show arguably has the longest list of best characters. April, Ron, Chris, Donna, Andy, Ann, Ben, Chris, Kyle, Jerry,Lesley, champion. Quite possibly better than Seinfeld In That way. Seinfeld had likable unlikeable people, this show has that too Jamm, Tammy2, the sapperstiens. What a show!
