“Leslie, please, the government knows what it’s doing.” *slaps*

[@EtorChristie]

"Ouchie"

[@couchpotatoes5158]

Ouchie

[@tonuahmed4227]

Even for Leslie it was unacceptable

[@keqet12]

The only proper response to such a nonsensical claim

[@Jfreek5050]

At this point thats the only proper response. 😂

[@bauer0788]

I find it ironic that Ron was doing government work by fixing the pothole and it ended up leading his to his wife Diane.

[@oz_jones]

Universe has a funny sense of humor. And so do the writers of Parks and Rec

[@Quincy_Morris]

@@oz_jonesuniverse isn’t alive.

[@jameslocigno1779]

Yes, ironic. By design. ❤😂

He hates the government for how inefficient and uneccesary it is, he was doing good old honest work.

[@andrewkippenhan5494]

These days Ron's chair repair could unironically be an ASMR. I'm still not sure if he'd be pleased or furious.

[@syntaxusdogmata3333]

I'm indifferent. I mean, the chair practically canes itself. 😐

[@BlindMischief]

Ron would like some asmrs because its just silence with work in the backround.

[@bailinton4171]

Ron himself has enjoyed asmr from the shoeshines andy gives H should be able to recognize the relaxation and euphoria from a man applying his craft

[@claraclonk]

i think duke silver would be very pleased!

[@ketchuph8r]

all the above, plus he'd acknowledge the rights and freedoms of people to do as they please.

[@syntaxusdogmata3333]

Nick Offerman's face objectively needs a mustache. He's right there with Tom Selleck.

[@jbooth1555]

I heard that Nick Offerman and Tom Sellecks mustaches grew first in the womb then the bodies were formed.

[@thaddeuspine]

Nick's usually got a full beard whenever he isn't filming something that requires him to be clean shaven.

[@syntaxusdogmata3333]

@@thaddeuspine Yes, he does. And a full beard includes a mustache.

[@axllow3914]

I don't think Selleck's face is as cursed as Offerman's when shaved though lmao

[@tjones2260]

Add Sam Elliott to it. He looks like he just dropped from space without his mustache.

[@shuttlecrossing1433]

Ron goes from never wanting to interact with anyone out of privacy concerns, to sharing his middle name with, at the time, total strangers.

[@hollow3256]

As a government employee myself, it's a little out of proportion but it's more or less what we deal with everyday. About 30% of people actually need our help and we can actually help them. Another 30% are trying to exploit the services provided. And the final 40% are just crazy people who are looking to yell at somebody

[@VoidOneGamer]

Lot of overlap with working at an electric utility lol

[@tyrant-den884]

Uncomfortable how similar that is to any customer service job.

[@lastrabbit6139]

As an employee of a state of the USA, whenever we are low on oil, I lose my job. It happens every so often.

[@sebastianrubin7476]

I'd have expected at least 10 of those last 40 to be people in need of help, but either looking in the wrong place or just not something you can actually help them with.

[@Double_D__]

So working for the government is basically a Service Job but with Conservatives and Libertarians just constantly hating you on top of that? No wonder so many government employees are miserable.

[@christianhatke477]

“If you show up on time and treat everyone with fairness we will get along just fine.” Words to live by.

[@tomaszlukaszewicz4468]

The last scene and Ron Swanson smiling. A very rare sight.

[@petercarr7391]

The fact that he gave them his middle name. Such a character arc

[@Proxyhedron]

Honestly it was such a satisfying ending for him. Leslie found the perfect place. The world's most independent man and the world's greatest friend

[@chikasnotmadjustdisappoint6266]

I'm surprised there's as much as 10 minutes of Ron doing government work lol

[@mistym.8480]

He'd work all night if it meant nothing got done

[@JustSayMilo]

THAT GUN SHOT RINGTONE IS GENIUS

[@ethanaraujo9728]

Where can I get it?

[@DrZaius3141]

In a show, it's a funny joke. In reality it may be the among the stupidest ideas of all time.

[@atharvadeshpande3090]

The clip of him interacting with his wife for the first time to the next clip being him walking out of an elevator with a baby stroller is pretty funny

[@brockm.4005]

Dutch Van der Lind and Ron Swanson in the same room.....government fear go brrrrr.

[@HLGCeltic24]

I’ll be damned. He always felt familiar and I could never figure it out.

[@cheato1163]

Am i the only one that would love to have an entire movie of just ron repairing that floor?

[@charlesstaples3054]

I'd love it

[@Zeuqzav01]

I believe that 3rd floor crew boss has a plan, and Ron just needs to have some goddamned faith!

[@StillPlayingRdr2]

But in order to begin, he just needs MONEH 😂

[@DriftWare]

ron without a mustache is cursed

[@LegDayLas]

Watch "The founder". It's disturbing to see Ron acting the way he does in that movie :D

[@L.J.Kommer]

"Where will all the water go?" "Wherever it's headed now."

[@tomaszlukaszewicz4468]

Maybe Ron Swanson hates working in local government and the government in general, but he works efficiently when he wants to. Or if someone forces him to do it.

[@jammin2575]

Yeah he’ll only do it if he absolutely has too or wants to, like helping Leslie in her campaign and when April messed up on scheduling meetings.

[@ketchuph8r]

no matter what, he seems to feel that he must always justify his efforts 😆

[@iriartef1]

He has only one reason to be there... the treasure

[@medicindisquise4271]

Someone like him is what the government unironically needs

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

I agree with Leslie that Ron writing a memo is disturbing.😳 I know I’m glad Ron showed up at Diane’s place to fixed her pothole.😉😊❤️

[@KindNine]

I just finished watching this show for the first time, and I'm already feeling nostalgic.

[@SeventhGod77]

I like how Ron is an anarchist contained within a blue collar body and a government job.

[@wikiwikiwa]

I think he's more of a libertarian.

[@SeventhGod77]

@@wikiwikiwa if he didn’t say that he wanted to watch the governmental body he works for crumble then I’d agree. Even libertarians see the use of having a government, they just want the government to be as small as possible while still being a functioning body. Ron wants the government to burn.

[@serenity1378]

@@wikiwikiwa Libertarians are anarchists. They're Anarcho-Capitalists, bottom right of the two-axis political compass.

[@knowledgeseeker4614]

I feel the scene Ron saves Leslie’s job should be here.

[@swervingsphinxs9228]

ngl i wonder what Ron thinks of the military soldiers, would he hate them or respect them? i mean we are government workers but i mean its Ron

[@Hedning1390]

He respects Leslie, so I guess it's the same with soldiers: he respects them as individuals but think they should not exist.

[@metalmollusquetv]

"hate the sin, not the sinner" would be a quick way to explain my position on many govt workers. Regarding the army, I have deep respect for many military personnel, they put their lives on the line to make sure their countries and families are safe, I just don't think the army should exist. My utopia would be Voluntary minutemen, militias, ready to answer the call of duty at any time but funded by their own means. Probably not feasible but as mentioned, it's utopic

[@TheOneTakeLiveCast]

What would a Ron Swanson presidency look like? Answer: "Civil War".

[@Hedning1390]

I think if he wins democratically and the people are behind in in abolishing the government corporations would rush to grab as much power as possible, but they have an interest in not collapsing society so there would be some time, years, before more classic warlords take over, because at first corporations will have large enough security forces to keep relative peace. I don't think the other political factions (ie democrats and republicans) could rise violently against the president.
