“You’re On with Ron” is one my favorite segments of the whole show. I love that he’s able to answer every question without missing a beat. Lol

It should be a spin off

[@d.gerstmann4930]

I could watch 12hrs of that segment.

[@TPG25153]

You ever notice how nice ron can be to andy and April i swear he must look at them as his kids

[@sgtpepper1138]

Well, if you notice, he calls Andy "Son" a lot.

[@johnnycoolguy9554]

He genuinely enjoys both of their company. Andy loves football and food and he and Ron connected on that. April shares his general demeanor of "everyone around me is an idiot," so they get along just fine. It's a very sweet relationship they all have.

[@jamesha175]

I firmly believe Ron could’ve fixed up the third floor in less time and with less tax dollar use than an entire 15 man crew

[@aidangattinger8975]

Probably union workers. I know a guy who spent some time in a union and on his first day he and a crew of guys got a job done in one afternoon. They got in trouble because the job was scheduled to take the whole crew over 2 weeks get that one job done.

[@Drhousedenieslupus]

Well the crew just needed to have some faith and believe in the plan. If you know, you know 😂

[@Sterben_knight]

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

Ron actually going over to Diane’s house and fixing the pothole himself is really commendable, as well as it lead to him meeting Diane.😊❤ I also love how excited and emotional Ron gets when he takes his son to the 3rd floor.😊❤

[@ajdominguez1002]

[@cgraham6]

You have to wonder just how many people went to Lowe's after that episode aired to do the same thing. I imagine Lowe's employees just quit asking that for a while.

[@sigxm5thumb]

“Your tax dollars at work” hits a lot differently now that I work in parks and rec and the amount of stuff the government won’t let us fix but demand we do fix is mind numbing

[@Kritacul]

Ron and Diane was always great to see. Wish we saw them more. Cause they always had great chemistry together.

[@willmcgonigle3107]

I would watch a Ron Swanson supercut of the entire show, one of the best characters of all time

[@Mad-q8n]

Best compliment I ever got was a coworker saying I remind them of Ron from parks and recs.

[@blankname6629]

The Halloween episode where Ron walks around with Anne and fixes Andy and April’s house is definitely one of my favorites

[@jessicajayes8326]

Ron is so much like my dad. He calls people at hardware stores "useless", works with wood, good with kids. I learned how to be mostly self sufficient.

[@jamesha175]

thumbs-up to you for that comment ! OMG i had a dad and now i am a dad. i now try to be a cool-guy dad every waking moment.

[@derricklafrance9440]

Handyman greatness aside, Ron had the cutest apprentice ever.

[@DrAnimePhD]

The best part is Nick Offerman (Ron’s actor) does all this in real life too. He loves DIY to the point he got his own show about it.

[@liordagan9342]

He is a very highly skilled carpenter.

There's something legitimately inspiring when Ron says “A sense of accomplishment and pride! Dammit, I just love it so much!"

[@thicccheese4007]

Ron Swanson, the man who doesn’t care but also cares

[@MaximumDiver]

@4:35 I love the fact that even Dumb Andy knows there's chemistry between the two of them

[@qui-gonjinn3322]

Andy is not as dumb as you think. His emotional IQ is off the charts.

[@SignoftheMagi]

The key to making a great TV series is casting. Ron Swanson was originally presented as an ultra right-wing, anti-government, money over everything, anti-anything not American, anti-social hardass who just want to tear everything down if it could not make a profit. But very quickly the show presented him as far deeper than that. He deeply cares about people, about hard work, about honesty. He enjoys fixing things and helping people. He respects those that want to make things better, even if they run counter to his beliefs. He has no racism or prejudice. And he loves jazz and nature.

[@kingslayer_ttf]

Ultra right wing is not antigovernment. Ron is libertarian, not from the right. Just sayin btw

[@Meton2526]

​@yoliq71 unfortunately most people are idiots, and if you're not in complete agreement with them politically, then you must be a radical from the other wing.

[@Obsidian316]

Ron is 100% correct, for me getting a broken truck into my workshop and it leaving in perfect condition is a hell of a feeling of accomplishment

[@Mystrohan]

For me, Ron’s best fixing moment is when Duke Silver fixes Catch Your Dream.

[@scottlarock7924]

This is the first time I've ever even thought to nitpick this moment, but since I've watched the show 20 times, I think I've earned the right. You're telling me that Ron didn't have some awesome metal in his workshop that he couldn't have used for that ring project? :-) Suspension of disbelief reestablished.

[@trevorwall87]

He had the gear to do it with him and borrowed a few household items them did it there because who wouldn't have a torch and crucible in the car

[@FayeVert]

I also don't buy that he would be so uncouth as to just rip the sconce out of the wall instead of properly removing it.
