I just discovered that Nick Offerman is one of the baddies in 24 season 2. Come on, we need a 24/Parks & Rec crossover universe. Jack Bauer and Ron Swanson would get along great.

[@Grand_Master_Skywalker]

He wasn’t really a bad guy in that season of 24. He was basically reacting in fear and hate towards a middle eastern man who had nothing to do with the nuke that Jack, and then Mason, dropped in the Mojave to minimize casualties and fallout. Yeah I know he was in 2-3 episodes but he wasn’t like a part of any true villain group. But nonetheless 24 is one of my favorite shows along with Parks & Rec and it was cool to realize who he was in 24 when I rewatched the series after rewatching Parks & Rec.

[@Grand_Master_Skywalker]

And no doubt they’d get along great. Tammy 2 and one of Jacks many adversaries who have it out for him could team up and require Ron to break Jack out of Russian prison since that’s the last place we knew for sure he was going to after the mini-season 24: Live Another Day

[@lilelbee423]

Lmaooo help I'm not sure I get the lesbian music joke?!

[@whichonespink7542]

The joke has many layers. One is making fun of the types of music that public radio plays, which is stereotypically multi-cultural and genre-blended (hence, the "lesbian afro-norwegian funk duo"), and the name of the band itself speaks to this as well (Nefertiti was an Egyptian queen, and fjords are bodies of water commonly associated with Norway). The lesbian part of the joke is making fun of the idea of 'diversity' for diversity's sake, which seems to be commonplace in public radio these days. The band's music is apparently awful, but the radio station plays it anyway because it ticks a 'diversity' box. The whole scene is just one big satire about public radio.
