There are probably a hundred people somewhere in this thread discussing the obvious, but it's only now, after all these years, I've finally made the connection that April's parents are so awkward with Ron and run away because they are Duke Silver's biggest fans and he's standing in their doorway.

[@alanhindle3149]

@RuDuffEnough WellRu Fair enough, if you know better. But, they do apparently have all Duke Silver's albums, so that April was able to recognise him the day they met. So, it's at least possible the Parks and Rec crew decided to work with that.

[@alanhindle3149]

@RuDuffEnough WellRu I see what you're saying, and it is a really solid point. But there are also people still pulling apart the writing of Shakespeare and Dante and others to find meaning and angles they didn't see before. Not that I am equating Parks and Rec with Shakespeare, obviously. Also, actors take what's on the written page and change it, make it work on their own level, too. And, if I AM just reading into it my own interpretations, well, that's the fun of art and storytelling, too.

[@thedevicebook]

If he is trying to repel people, that works. I would be scared to even enter his office & the amount of fear I experience even in TV shows where they point a gun at the screen, I jump. I don't have time to unpack real guns & don't have the energy for a debate, so I'll get a little niche here: I am part of some nerdy interests that involve dressing in costume & people can even get rather creative with making a toy gun look like something sci-fi but the minute it's pointed at me, I may leave suddenly. With people who do it repeatedly (& the type who are part of social circle so they are harder to avoid) sometimes I try to set a boundary but if they whine about me being a baby, I may just cut ties. Boundaries tend to be hard to hear so I understand a little defensiveness & maybe even that well-intentioned people will forget sometimes. I don't show up to a laser tag or paintball invite & I don't judge people who love such things. I just choose my company & environment as best I can, then deal with everything that either can't be anticipated or avoided, as it comes up. As I said at beginning, whatever real gun topics come up from this long comment I made, I will do my best to avoid the bait, while recognizing these are important topics that inspire much-needed debate, though KZbin comment sections aren't typically when change is made.

Ron has the vibes of several people I know. It’s crazy. Hes what my military simulation gaming friends will become as they age. Maybe he doesn’t want to take meetings or phone calls because he’s busy playing Arma 3 and Warthunder. Yet if my grandpa worked in a government office maybe he’d be this grumpy.

Your military simulation gaming friends will never move out of their mom's basement

I should watch Parks and Recreation again. It makes me feel so good.

I genuinely thought she was his illegitimate daughter and she took the job to get closer to him...

1:30 Ron slowly coming closer cracks me up and I don't know why

'Don't sass me.' - Ron Swanson

[@augenmaugen]

My dad is the real life version of Ron Swanson, not joking. It’s a lot of fun, my siblings and I always have stories to be ROFL’ing over.

[@Grythpyke]

Ron is my hero. Perfect character

[@Smuelaham]

Ron WILLINGLY trying to start a conversation with aprils sister is proof of how much he cares for her.

[@elvenatheart982]

His voice is so smooth. What does he eat that he has such a smooth and even, siithing voice? Is it ambrosia?

[@MatthewCoe]

I'm sure if you asked Ron, he said it's 16-year-old Lagavulin Scotch. ...Nick Offerman would probably say the same, actually. There's an alarming amount of Nick in Ron.

7:24 In Texas this is called H-E-B. You can buy hot barbecue, sushi, lawn chairs, string cheese, Christmas trees, backyard pools, birthday cakes, and you can buy and drink tap beer while you shop. It's the Ron Swanson of stores.

I miss 24 hour Walmarts and them being open until 2am Christmas Eve (Day really 😉) . I always wanted to show up and buy cantaloupe, diapers, an air horn, a shotgun and shells. 😂
