I've reached the age where Leslie's birthday for Ron is extremely attractive. Sure I could set it up myself but having someone do it for me - that's the real gift!

[@inguy21333]

Idk why but I was reading this in Ron’s voice. 😂

[@zaanredelinghuys191]

I'm 27 and that looks like my ideal birthday. Don't think it's necessarily an age thing but rather personality perhaps.

[@wenotoutside]

Its perfect, the only thing for me is the movie choice but other than that p e r f e c t

2:47 Leslie at this point did not know Ron was Duke Silver. That means Leslie gave April a general task like "pretend to order balloons" and April thought through how she could make it even worse on Ron.

[@MrWhateverfits]

Exactly.

[@MISTAWULFY]

I guarantee Chris kissing Ron for his birthday was ad libbed, the whole thing looked like they were about to lose it

[@ImTMZ]

2:47 April knowing Ron's "secret" is by far one of the funniest gags

April is a ride or die friend

I still can't believe how well written these characters are! Someone put a lot of thought into this!

[@FiksIIanzO]

Leslie didn't just give Ron the perfect birthday party, she also screwed with him until the last moment. You can guarantee Ron appreciated that. He's right. That's a terrifying level of thoughtfulness

[@sethevans5318]

I love how she respected his wishes

[@Dctctx]

Ron giving April a SIG Sauer is the most Ron Swanson thing I’ve ever seen

[@dylanking6960]

I'm surprised he would purchase a European pistol. I figured he would be fully part of the Cult of the 1911.

[@LucienWolfhound]

I first thought it a bit weird that he would give her a SIG and not an american made firearm, but when he said he is re-gifting it made sense again. Brilliant.

[@hermann9921]

I love that end clip with Ron talking about how he “doesn’t” want a series of elaborate puzzles for his next birthday.😉🤣 Also, Leslie really is the Queen of Gift-giving.😉

[@blackshyguy2160]

That solo birthday party Leslie set up for him was so incredibly sweet I teared up a little admittedly

[@rufaiajala]

Me too 🥲❤

[@keithwill42]

Ron reaction after that kiss is hilarious 😂

the only real bit that made me laugh out loud

[@x3BobO]

Chris kissing Ron on the mouth like it’s normal is so good.

[@mercedeslynn78]

That exchange about Andy’s and Ron’s age “difference” was just a flawless combination of hilarious writing, incredible timing, and perhaps some brilliant improvisation? Just *chef’s kiss.*

[@alixxander82]

[@8040titan]

Ron looked like his organs were shutting down while she was explaining her Birthday surprise..lol

[@KaiDrawsShit03]

I'm a lot like Ron when it comes to birthdays. Even when i was a kid I hated having big parties. My favorite birthday was me and two of my friends having a sleepover and watching Harry Potter. We didnt even sing happy birthday, just hung out, drew, and talked about our favorite moments from 'Goblet of Fire'. Still makes me smile thinking about it.

[@JabamiLain]

Good for you. That does sound special.

[@ultravioletron]

5:00 The moment Ron became Bill in Last of Us

[@58lukum]

He’s like me. I don’t want a huge birthday I just want what I want and what I enjoy. A nice glass of whiskey and some good food whilst enjoying some peace and quiet.

[@henryjones2766]

Lmao he had his birthday redacted

Ron's facial expressions and dry statements is what I live for

I'd appreciate a gun as a gift any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Very thoughtful ron.

[@SharkBait19904]

Starting in Middle School I stopped telling people my birthday. I didn't want it being announced over the PA System. Somehow Junior year in High School a girl I never really talked to found out what day my birthday was and told the office to announce it. No clue how she found it yet props to her to learning something even my friends didn't know.

[@Blade2xtremeFTW]

As someone who also dislikes his birthday, I love this episode so much. Nice simple quiet bday

For Ron birthday when April was messing with him the first clue should have been the inflatable saxophones. Only she knew he was Duke Silver at the time so why would Leslie ask her to get them?

[@SephJoSloth]

One of the most delicious steaks ever eaten on screen

[@XiahouJoe]

Ron wouldn't get her 'licensed up' when giving her the gun. She's old enough. Its a gift not a sale from a dealer. It's hers no license needed. Let alone his character and and politics not aside you don't need a license for the 2nd Amendment. This is the same Ron that things night hunting without a license is ok. Shows the writers get it but don't at times.

[@TheDeviantLord]

I have the absolute same approach to my birthday as Ron. Even some of my closest friends have no idea of my age, nor the exact day. Wheneve they ask me, I say it is not important. Because that is how it is. It was never important for anyone, so why should it be different now.

[@jukkininth4837]

birthday are to signify that you are now a year closer to your death. be it a reminder to us mere mortals that we are but a weak creature struggling every single day to ensure continuity of human species that will ultimately end up in death. a pointless struggle.

@@jukkininth4837 Oh god we got ourselves another edgy AoT fan over here - there's more to life than just drowning in your own self-pity - and Isayama didn't write that with the intention to make everyone depressed and cynical. There's plenty of time to wallow in sadness when you're dead, and you only get one shot at life, so.. try and have some fun before you check out. Nihilism is no friend to you. Trust me, I speak from life experience as a 28 year old man whose experienced long-standing chronic physical pain, loneliness, hostility, many rejections, betrayals, deaths of close friends... but none of that ever makes life not worth living.

[@keepitsecret-dl1pr]

a large purpose of his character is show that while he proclaims to know all there is to know about life, he is very stubborn and often (like a dear friend of mine) ends up liking something if he actually gives it a try - and there are many instances where his character is a clear hypocrite
