the interesting part about this video for me is that is showed me that no one has heard rons giggle/laugh more than donna. i think that makes her something special above the others lol. i always got the vibes of april being his daughter, andy his son/son in law if you dont want it to be weird, donna & leslie are his sisters, and ann is just his cousin he sometimes likes, we all have one of those lol.

Tbh, this is art imitating life. My husband is basically Ron, but angrier and less prone to tolerating liberals. Especially fiscal liberals. He was the man of honor at his very best friend's wedding, to her wife. 😂 But she's a fiscal conservative and semi-isolationist libertarian, so I suppose their becoming best friends was inevitable.

I both have none, and I detest children, so hearing a child's laughter in my house at 3am is not something I'd enjoy. However, I'd be more than happy to hear the Ron Swanson giggle at random times, in random places, regardless of the fact that he may or may not be there.

[@thejsixm2357]

As someone with small children who do nervously giggle at inappropriate times of the day, I couldn’t agree with you more. Would you perhaps be looking for a roommate good sir? I’ve been looking for an opportunity to leave my familial cage for quite some time.

[@PaletaJoe2]

It *is* the laughter of small children. Notice he giggles at the things that would presumably make his inner kid giddy. The “Andy, Wait up” like an excited kid drives it home.

[@grayghost7]

I love how Andy’s reason for Ron not going for Callaghan’s is because they skimp on the vegetables 😂

Ron's character wasn't just making fun of libertarians (while also showing good qualities), it was making fun of American male stereotypes, while also showing a genuine person. The show doesn't hate Ron Swanson, he's just a good mix of qualities people usually make fun of, and somehow he makes it work.

[@Zero60133]

They did good work with him, some stuff you disagree with, but he's right on lot of things. People should learn more skills so they can depend on themselves, while there are a lot of tradesmen out there you can hire, you should also know as much of these things as possible yourself. I've been trying to learn more about cooking, fixing my car, stuff around the house and all the other things nobody was there to teach me. Ron's character was one of the things to push me more into that direction.

[@anewagora]

@Zero60133 agreed, we would all benefit from having these hands on skills and working together in cooperative communities. Then we're the creators of our world, instead of being subjected to a Matrix none of us build, surrounded by strangers, working meaningless jobs in our corner of the Matrix.

Ron reminds me a lot of my Dad. Libertarian, American Loving, emotionally stand offish, ridiculous in his reactions to anything that is not considered traditionally masculine…etc. I’m gay. Sensitive. Artistic. Blah blah blah… We butt heads a LOT. But one of the things I admire about my father is even when he doesn’t understand something, he tries to understand. He can be ridiculous, but he’s a good man. As different as we are, I still try to be like him everyday.

[@TonyMarselle]

Hell yeah.

[@CadeSubscriptionAccount]

Real talk? He likely carries more on his plate than you might imagine. And he likely runs on the ragged edge of stress to avoid the people he loves seeing weakness. He is likely as proud of you as you seem to be of him. But time has taken his ability to always show it. If I may offer advice from someone with no parents left, have a beer with him. Or maybe a cigar. Sitting in silence for an hour could mean the world.
