Ron's First Ex Wife | Parks and Recreation

[@lrmcatspaw1]

Preparation is key. Ron knows that in the face of inminent danger, you have to be ready. His backpack says Tammy 1 btw.

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

Well he has good reason to be prepared he can sense Tammy 2 coming but as another poster said Tammy 1 sneaks up on him with ease 🤣🤣

[@cameronmeeker5016]

i like to think ron has multiple backpacks around city hall in case of certain emergencies, idk why but i just think its kinda funny

[@beastinthesky6774]

Preppers and survivalists call this a "bugout bag": a bag that you grab to run into the woods with to survive in the event of an emergency and/or catastrophic event. For many preppers the event they imagine is nuclear apocalypse or the collapse of civilization. For Ron, Tammy 1 is that catastrophic event.

[@bighenkkee]

the way Ron runs

[@frankm3214]

It's called the "power stride."

[@Sig509]

He runs silly, because he never runs. Unless it is Tammy I.

[@MrHEC381991]

Jesus. He's more prepared than Batman.

[@thomascahill8932]

Maybe he is Batman?

[@Honorbound43]

He is clearly Thomas Wayne. He went into hiding after the "murder" because he clearly couldn't handle Martha/Tammy anymore.

[@puruazad1147]

He can't be more prepared than batman. I don't think that is possible

[@CollinMcLean]

@@puruazad1147 Of course he can... He's Ron F***ing Swanson...

[@BeaverChainsaw]

​@@Honorbound43 that definitely fits with How he accrued ungodly amounts of money despite working for a cash strapped parks and rec department...

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Having an ex-wife I can confirm this reaction is 100% accurate/realistic. Godspeed.

[@WeaponLight]

Chris L poor ex-wife fuck

[@NerdAlert8910]

Especially when the ex-wife works for the IRS

[@conrradotorres4653]

It's been 3 years since you posted this. Hopefully you are alright..... Godspeed.

[@sexmodtf2freepunjabinoviru162]

*distant stare* shes near...

[@thomasbrannigan229]

"my ex wife is back" "yeah I know shes here" "no. my first ex wife" GASP!

[@TheRealRMG]

Which is a little strange honestly. We know from earlier in the show that Leslie had never met or heard of Tammy II, as presumably she and Ron had divorced before Leslie joined the department. So she is also likely completely unfamiliar with Tammy I as well, so her reaction is not really based on anything.

[@jackdaone6469]

@@TheRealRMG You never know. She could have been regaled with horror stories about Tammy 1.

[@ethansolomon2126]

@@TheRealRMGknowing Ron he probably said something vague about an ex wife named Tammy and refused to elaborate that there were two of them

[@a.m.hofmeister725]

Leslie had definitely thought about his first ex wife and was completely curious as to who she was. She constantly tries to pry into Ron's personal life and past, so it's not a surprise that she's taken aback​@@TheRealRMG

[@jobeiden4630]

Knowing Ron, I'm not surprised he had prepared for this

[@romilrh]

Best detail in the scene is that the backpack itself says "Tammy 1" on it. He literally has an emergency backpack hidden away specifically for Tammy 1. Who knows how many others he has stashed in that building??

[@Dafmeister1978]

Minimum one per floor, plus the one in his office, and outside city hall one within a hundred yards of each exit from the building. We'll not go into the others secreted at strategic locations around Pawnee, no one has that kind of spare time.

[@dragonorbminecraft]

I have an ex that was such a toxic individual I can confirm this is what happens when you have that special (bad) one Ironically her name wasn't too far from Tammy, it was Tanya

[@socialaccounts1889]

That's not irony, it's vaguely coincidental at best.

[@death3678]

Bro it’s always a Tanya that’s unhinged

[@jordaneggerman4734]

Yeah, when I read "Tanya," I went, "oooooooo" 😬😬 lol sorry that one of those cloven-hooved gutter witches sank their teeth in you.

[@spitfiretv1521]

Every day I strive to be more like Ron Swanson

[@Wyndamn]

As we all should !!!!

[@Metalsonic91]

love how the back pack says tammy 1

[@zerostrike3889]

Love how he just dragged Leslie in the chair

[@leighamlemire8804]

Ron Swanson is the only man who would keep a bugout bag in his workplace

[@lawrenceyoung72]

My favorite part of the show..... Hands down.

[@Superbl0bby]

I also love when tammy 2 and ron look at each other and they each run off in different directions.

[@TheSurvivorHero]

"Godspeed"

[@EmJeezyable]

I wanna have to escape the grid just like this once in my life, whether it be due to an ex wife or my mortal enemy - who may also be my ex wife - just like Ron.

[@dms7202]

If some one thought Tammy 2 is the worst person alive, wait until you see Tammy 1💀😂😂😂 The way Tammy 2 ran when she saw Tammy 1🤣

[@Brucewayne_55]

Tammy 2’s reaction is the best part

[@vijaykoundinyatheki]

Also, Jerry/Garry/Larry/Terry was on the other side of the hall when Ron was pulling Leslie, and after he starts running he runs into Garry. This shows Garry really has “GOD SPEED”

[@y2kanonamous766]

yo i just noticed this and was seeing if anyone else did as well.

[@gabrielmatosboerer1420]

He should say: "We are now in DEFCON 1"

[@missmew5240]

This is my all time favourite clip from Parks and Recreation 😂 Cracks me up every single time

[@faithk.1103]

Here because I always think about this scene on the reason why Nick Offerman makes the perfect Bill for The Last of Us 😂

[@Logistified]

Bill right before the outbreak happens on the last of us

[@sindri.]

To me, Ron is Parks and Rec's Michael Scott. Like easily the most important character to the show, in terms of the humor

[@murphymcpoyle1735]

I wish there was a list showing the contents of the Tammy 1 bug out bag.

[@jentforgiveness3242]

GODSPEED

[@jorgealexanderfiguereo7230]

When I saw this, I laughed so hard!!!

[@murphymcpoyle1735]

He forgot to tell her about the bacon in the ceiling.

[@timothyfogarty5829]

There's a supply of ground chuck in my desk, remove it or it'll begin to smell 😂

[@gauravgurha5158]

I wasn't this early even when I was born

[@kid_corso_55]

so basically ron is pingtrip and theres some chuck for anyone who needs it. he has lunch with italians. dont ask the subject. it involves a super star grappler

[@alexissherrill5624]

"My other ex-wife, Tammy. Tammy One!" *"WE'RE AT THREAT LEVEL MIDNIGHT! DEFCON 10! Repeat: DEFCON 10!"*

[@BubbaTurkey0416]

Even Tammy 2 is deathly afraid of Tammy 1. 😂

[@robertlevy4613]

She’s trying not to laugh and break character after he hit Jerry

[@Thats-a-wipe]

why does this seem like a totally different actor playing ron

[@Thats-a-wipe]

@Benny White i found out the answer. its the same actor he just doesnt have eye brows

[@nuclearmatt8119]

The first woman I ever loved cheated on me with a friend of mine and then attempted to murder him with a screwdriver. I understand Ron's fear.

[@JabamiLain]

Holy...! I don't even have the words !

[@drillman9799]

I should keep a bugout bag stored at work

[@paulelliott3220]

Brilliant

[@tkaki6029]

He takes out Jerry 😂😂😂

[@austinroth7238]

Now I need a bug out bag for the office......hopefully HR doesn't put up a fuss

[@Carl_with_a_k_]

How Tf did jerry go from being in the courtyard to in the way of Ron with food within seconds?

[@Hunghover]

Is there any workplace in the world where one can actually accrue 228 days off ?

[@davidhenderson3400]

My stepfather work for the city of Hendersonville and he built up enough to retire 2 years early. Now all new hires have a use it or lose it policy you got to use everything by the end of December or lose it.

[@SantiagoY3569]

This was used for the launch of Fallout 4

[@blueshell4695]

That outro makes me think of Luigi a lobster captain America a bag of Doritos and a sink

[@phuvana99]

face-burnt Ron looks like Elijah Wood wtf

[@GordonMancuso]

I see it, yet I can't explain why.

[@Worrell057]

Every man with an ex-wife named Tammy should have a bug-out-bag stashed where he can get to it in a hurry.

[@TheTsar1918]

This whole bit made me piss myself.

[@rbu2136]

Lamo what the heck!?! Hahaha what is this!?

[@visualeffectscompositor]

What are you a prepper or something

[@Herbymac0811]

Anyone know (exactly) the make and model of that pack????

[@calebgroncki6045]

My mom and dad. 😂

Yayy

[@arafat9828]

they're so cute

[@ryanheinrich9066]

What happened to his eyebrows?

[@Carl_with_a_k_]

He burnt them that episode

[@thecheekychinaman6713]

Where are his eyebrows

[@djgaben6187]

If i remember right, they were burned off cause Jerry filled the torch with lighter fluid and it shot into his face.

[@tykehotep2865]

I know this may sound stupid but is that a different Actor playing Ron

[@someguytu]

This is no played by Nick Offerman anybody has any ideas why? This scene has always bothered me.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

If you get 4 personal days a year 228 days is 57 years of work

[@dukewilliamsmusic]

At some jobs, you can get more than four personal days a year. At my job, I get three weeks of personal time after one year, for example

[@henrygrand695]

Is that even Ron? Is he wearing a mask? He looked so weird

[@TheCactusDrizzy]

Henry Grand His hair got burnt in that episode

[@abbie.mp4]

his eyebrows/moustache just got burnt off lmfao

[@leoh1191]

Am i wrong or is ron missing his eyebrows and moustache..it looks like it's a prop glue on one

[@katsasgeorge]

Jerry used lighter fluid instead of propane in order to light the ceremonial cauldron at Lil Sebastian's funeral so when Ron lit it, the resulting fireball burned his eyebrows and mustache.

[@doingtheworksoyoudonthavet6397]

Ive never been stupid enough to get married. But once dated a woman on and off for years that if she showed up today the way she has before.. Id leave state 😂😂

[@wowanimejoshua5149]

Is him looking weird apart of the joke or am I missing something?

[@JoshGuestEsq]

His eyebrows are burnt off from the previous episode.

[@danielhutchison7259]

I wish I was that cool

[@MrLeeziebee]

What up with the bad wig on Ron?

[@MasterJediDude]

Ron looks very strange here. Why does he look so different? Is this after he burned off his eyebrows?

[@cat3584]

Brows strenf

[@thomascars1]

I e

[@cpdf1764]

Why does his hair and mustache look so completely fake in this scene?

[@colinwishneski1360]

he burned his face lighting an eternal flame for a dead mini horse. hope that helps. bye bye, lil' sebastian.
