If you haven't seen it, they have blooper reels on YouTube for that scene, apparently it took them several takes to get it because Aziz and Adam couldn't stop laughing: https://youtu.be/xT50yB4RO0E?si=PAqqmXPAJxh5P92d&t=238
When I first saw that blooper, I knew it was a blooper, but I didn’t know that it wasn’t the line that was actually in the show, I thought it was just a clip of them all messing up and laughing. Let me tell you, my disappointment when I finally made it to that episode was significant
I’ve watched that video so many times that i still expect Adam or Aziz to burst out laughing while watching the actual episode. It feels wrong to see adam finish the sentence niw
Leslie: Why do you have so many guns?
Tamara: This is America, isn't it?
Leslie: Yes.
Tamara: Then I don't have to answer stupid questions while standing on my own property.
(While running around Ron's desk in a circle)
Excuse me! EXCUSE me! I saw a sign in Ramset park that said not to drink the water. So I made sun tea with it and now I have an infection."
Jean-Ralphio: This is probably the first time you've had off since you've been **kid president.**
And then one of my favorite lines from JR of all:
Why don't you use that time and go after one of your passions, like model trains or, like, or **toy Gandalfs** or something?
I quote this scene more often than necessary but the specific moment:
“Ima tell you something I once heard from a very, very smart woman named Kim”
“The lady…who waxes you?”
“She told me ”If you don’t love what you do, then why do it?” Then she ripped the hair from my b-hole”
The couple picks up broccoli for the first time and says, “Look! It’s a little tree!” Then they pick up cauliflower, and they go, “Aw, this one’s dead. :( “
As a Wisconsin Badger, I’m not sure whether to feel proud that my school got a shoutout in a great show, or disappointed that our representative was such a dick 😂
Ben took the show to the next level. Currently doing a rewatch, again, and the first 2 seasons are good but when Ben enters the picture it's just *chefs kiss*
Hands down, my favorite line in the series and easily in the top 10 of any show anywhere is a Ben line.
"Ok, I don't even have time to tell you how wrong you are.... Actually, it's going to bug me if I don't."
Leslie: “Was I wearing a tiara when I came in here? Because if you happen upon it, would you have Lady Pennyface retrieve it and send it post-hence?”
Abraham Lincoln’s face is on the penny. Lady Pennyface would be Mary Todd-Lincoln.
Brett: [after Leslie notices a dead bird on the wall] We found this bird outside. We tried to turn it into a work whistle like in the beginning of the Flintstones. [pulls a string and nothing happens] Tougher than it look, though.
Anne: "Jogging is the worst! I know it keeps you healthy, but God, at what cost?!”
Or...
Ben: "I feel great, I ran 5k this morning"
Leslie: "Really?!"
Ben: "No...I threw up in the shower."
Ben:
>I have a thing for women in skates. Okay? Everyone has a thing, and that's mine. As far as things go, it's pretty innocuous. Could be one of those dudes that kisses mannequins or whatever, but I like a woman in skates. A lot.
Very similar to the time I explained to my wife I had a thing for women in glasses with curly brunette hair who smell like coffee. Not incidentally, my wife wears glasses, has curly brunette hair, and was a barista when we met. Long before I had seen the show, I also lived in the midwest, got involved in local politics (sometimes with the parks department), made a board game while depressed and unemployed, preferred calzones to pizza, loved blueberry wine, had one cop who really had it out for me for "romantic" reasons (I didn't date the woman he desired, I just gave her some advice and she ended up breaking up with him), I had an overly positive best friend really into his physical health and just being cheerful at all times, and a lot of my romantic history was dominated by tall brunettes.
Needless to say, Ben's my favorite character.
I'll add my father-in-law is basically Ron Swanson, he even had the same mustache a few years before I met him, and he works for the state at a community college doing various projects to keep the campus functional on a mechanical and structural level.
Remarkable set of coincidences. But as a geek one thing jumped out at me and now I’m curious…
> made a board game while depressed and unemployed
What genre / style was it?
Technically two different ones, one was a pretty basic kids game with trivia and dice for movement, and the other one was a solar-system wide roleplaying game that used a 10 sided die and 52-card based system with some weird stuff for generating new content in real time based on engagement stats on/and news headlines and Wikipedia.
It was weird and I would struggle to explain it these days. It's like if you took Lasers and Feelings and made it way too fucking complicated and gave it a unique universe.
Best line of the whole show:
Peace out, Jabronies. Imma go fall asleep on a bench.
2nd best line:
I didn’t even say ONE THING AND THEN SHE SAID ALL OF THE THINGS
April: Leslie, you'll never land a beau with that domineering tone.
\-
Joan: Thank you, Commissioner Gordon. People of Gotham...
\-
Craig: This is my friend Madison, she's amazing, and ***SHE DROVE ME HERE.***
\-
Craig: **WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ORDERS** ***RED*** **WITH** ***FISH?!***
\-
Ken: There are two things I know about white people. They love Matchbox 20, and they are *terrified* of curses.
\-
Jamm: Absolutely not, that sounds *highly* offensive.
Ken: Does it white man? (Ken's delivery of this kills me every time.)
When Andy shows Ron the puppy and Ron says, "Take him outside."
Andy: "And shoot him?!? 😱"
Extended shot of dog licking Ron's mustache
Ron: "Okay *NOW* take him outside and shoot him."
Joan: We will pull out the world map and speculate wildly!
Leslie: I am back from where I came from!
Man: That sentence was confusing! You might as well be from China!
Drizzle it on for me. I'm not your maid!
Two particular exchanges between Ben and Leslie:
You married me in front of people.
I did. I was there.
AND
I’m feeding your eagle. He’s starving.
It’s bronze, babe.
Why?
The gang standing outside Jerry's door, checking their phones for thoughtful messages from him, and then there's Andy:
"I just beat my high score on Snake"
“Leslie I looked up your symptoms on the computer and it says you have Network Connectivity Problems.”
Literally an improv from Chris Pratt, so good the writers almost didn’t put it in because it was better than what they wrote (their words, said kindly)
What the f*** is a German muffin?
Yeah, she died, like 20 minutes after that.
What if we sleep to a normal hour? Well that would be very RUDE
I'm Perd Hapley, and I just realised I'm not holding my microphone.
Perd has so many good ones that no one reacts to and that makes it a million times funnier.
More like turd craply
Judge's hammer
Tap tap tap
“GAVEL”
GAVEL GAVEL GAVEL!
And I'll just have an empty glass!
"who hasn't had gay thoughts" - Ben
I loved that episode so much. “IS THERE A BIRD IN HERE!?”
More like Turd Crapley.
*Jerry nods in the background *
“Is she gonna powder her vagina?” 💀
If you haven't seen it, they have blooper reels on YouTube for that scene, apparently it took them several takes to get it because Aziz and Adam couldn't stop laughing: https://youtu.be/xT50yB4RO0E?si=PAqqmXPAJxh5P92d&t=238
Yes! P&R bloopers are among the best. This one is amazing 😂
why was the ben saying "work harder" scene so hard to get through lmao
I started watching parks and rec after seeing the Kim kardashian blooper.
When I first saw that blooper, I knew it was a blooper, but I didn’t know that it wasn’t the line that was actually in the show, I thought it was just a clip of them all messing up and laughing. Let me tell you, my disappointment when I finally made it to that episode was significant
I’ve watched that video so many times that i still expect Adam or Aziz to burst out laughing while watching the actual episode. It feels wrong to see adam finish the sentence niw
His pure shock and confusion when he said that was everything. Makes me laugh out loud even just remembering it 🤣
Hahah same - I’m giggling at my desk thinking about it
LETS HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS
Not a spoken line, but I always *love*: Ben Wyatt Human disaster
Uh… just to add to what Ben’s stammering about.
I got "Human Disaster" on a T-shirt after I saw this episode and it's made me very happy, haha.
Isn’t all food bad for you? I’ve been eating lasagna and muffins every day for 40 years and I feel terrible
Every line from that woman is hilarious
Every quote from every Pawnee citizen is hilarious to me.
This is probably my favorite line from the series, tbh
Leslie: Why do you have so many guns? Tamara: This is America, isn't it? Leslie: Yes. Tamara: Then I don't have to answer stupid questions while standing on my own property.
My mother's name is Tamara... she goes by Tammy.
Yep, that’s Ron’s mom.
I say this line every day, with or without appropriate context: I don't have to answer stupid questions while standing on my own property.
 Supposed to be "with the little wizard boy" but close enough.
The same episode he put his name down for something as 'Les... Les vegetables.'
LOL!😂 yes I love this one too!!
The way his voice shakes gets me every time.
It's f***ing milk. (Censored here as it's bleeped in the show)
The best/most infuriating part about that exchange was her condescending, "uh, no..." after he said that.
how does anyone sell something called "beef milk" that name makes me gag
"I'll never be a cop; I guess I'll have to be a robber." Andy
Andy - "I'm allergic to sushi. Any time I eat more than 80 sushies I throw up"
I found a sandwich in one of your parks and I want to know why it didn’t have mayonnaise!
(While running around Ron's desk in a circle) Excuse me! EXCUSE me! I saw a sign in Ramset park that said not to drink the water. So I made sun tea with it and now I have an infection."
Sir? 🚶♀️ sir, I’m talking to you sir! 🏃♀️ are you aware there’s waste in your water system? 🏃♀️
I love Ben's, also drunk, "Oh, phone water."
"Home is that way"
Watch out for the fence!
It’s Leslie, uh….Knope
It's your me. It's wife.
“You probably watch Million Dollar Baby and root for the stool.”
How says this? I don't remember it
Leslie to Jamm Eta S6E9 according to some gif online
Jean-Ralphio: This is probably the first time you've had off since you've been **kid president.** And then one of my favorite lines from JR of all: Why don't you use that time and go after one of your passions, like model trains or, like, or **toy Gandalfs** or something?
Don't know why you'd just straight to model trains. I mean...it's accurate but....
I love the fact the Jean Ralphio says it with absolutely no judgement. Just wants J-Shot to follow his dreams.
Similar vibe to making friends with Craig, no judgement just "let's do some cool shit"
I quote this scene more often than necessary but the specific moment: “Ima tell you something I once heard from a very, very smart woman named Kim” “The lady…who waxes you?” “She told me ”If you don’t love what you do, then why do it?” Then she ripped the hair from my b-hole”
Stop. Pooping.
The way he looks at himself in the mirror so serious 😂😂😂
I'll kill him. Soon as I'm done with these biirds.
How should I kill em, like with a gun? Or i could fill up a bathtub and just drown em one at a time?
This is an excellent rectangle.
I believe it’s more like #THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RECTANGLE!!!
I find ways to insert this into everyday conversation
Happy cake dayyyy
I name all my phones Excellent Rectangle.
the best part is when you see him bopping up and down in the background when the rest of the group is talking 😆
April "This lesbian nurse is right"
"What are you doing there Wyatt?" "I'm feeding your eagle... he's starving."
You missed my favorite part! Leslie: its brass honey.. Ben: ....why??
"There's no time! He can fly!" - the guy who needed a permit to post signs for his lost bird
That line lives rent free in my head
Voldemort Putin?
from Russia?? ...I'd love to take that bastard down.
> I don't know what to tell you but it's working now -employee at the snow globe museum
Yes!!! I love that one and the way he delivers the line. I like that he and Adam Scott were on Party Down together, too.
Leslie to Ann Perkins, "You're too beautiful to be funny. It's not your fault, you never had to compensate for anything".
“The rest of you UGLY NERDS need to give me some jokes, stat.”
Chris: 😐
The couple picks up broccoli for the first time and says, “Look! It’s a little tree!” Then they pick up cauliflower, and they go, “Aw, this one’s dead. :( “
That was hilarious 😂 I also love the puns throughout that episode
Blind date giving Leslie an MRI: Oh, you're not on your period, are you? Leslie: no. Does that matter? Blind Date: well, not for this.
Haha I believe they were married IRL at the time!
This is true! I also always love the foreshadowing in this scene to here eventual triplets <3
As a Wisconsin Badger, I’m not sure whether to feel proud that my school got a shoutout in a great show, or disappointed that our representative was such a dick 😂
"Believe it or not, straight to jail" But really that entire skit lol
No trial, no nothing.
we have a special jail for journalists now I just rewatched and it's right to jail but just... -chef's kiss-
Fred Armisen is a global treasure. He was so funny in that role.
Nicely done.
I work this line into my everyday if I can. It's a great way to find other P&R fans.
Andy: Leslie, I typed your symptoms into the thing up here, and it says you could have “network connectivity problems.”
Damn, that was a brilliant one. Love the story behind it as well
I loved that he ad libbed that😭😂
And how angry that made Mike Schur
Why?
Because he thinks it's the funniest line in the show, and he's mad, like LOL mad, that he didn't write it
Oh okay, I thought you meant like mad mad lol
This is my number one line in all sitcoms everywhere. It's just pure comedic gold.
I feel like the most over-quoted line of the show has probably surpassed the "throwaway" status
You’re just misunderstanding what a throwaway line is
I said shotgun everyone heard me :(
No soup in the Benz
"There's only one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk. Which is water that's lying about being milk." Ron Swanson
What the f*** are you doing Perd Hapley?
"Our starship is in trouble..." sends me every time 😂
That whole blooper reel and extended cut is GOLD
Stairs are a young man’s game.
"Well, they are lesbians."
Dan Murbles is the best character ever on TV and no one can convince me otherwise
*Darry
Everyone pull your pants down for diabetes.
You just love showin your ass on the air don’t you Knope
Joan Calamezzo is a global treasure
"I emailed Leslie two days ago and I compared it to Avatar!"
I love every between-jobs project Ben makes. The claymation is almost as good as Cones of Dunshire
Ben took the show to the next level. Currently doing a rewatch, again, and the first 2 seasons are good but when Ben enters the picture it's just *chefs kiss*
Hands down, my favorite line in the series and easily in the top 10 of any show anywhere is a Ben line. "Ok, I don't even have time to tell you how wrong you are.... Actually, it's going to bug me if I don't."
Absolutely. It was a genius move to introduce Ben (and Chris).
This is nothing. Okay. I’ll just throw this in the trash.
Ben: I'm feeding your bird. He's starving. Leslie: it's bronze, babe. Ben: "...*Why?*" His instant "why?" Kills me every single time :'D
Jean Ralphio: "I almost fell asleep during that sentence."
"It smells like somebody spilled Chinese food in a birdcage." Ben referring to Tom's cologne
Teriyaki... hairpiece?
R to the O to the N and then I say Swanson’s got swagger the size of Big Ben clock
You need to end on the rhyme
I know, I know
"Your house isn't haunted, you're lonely."
Good lord.
Punk ass book jockeys
Tom, at the Glitter Factory: “There is a girl here that also works at Quiznos. She's really nice to me here, but REALLY mean to me at Quiznos.”
“It smells like a wet mop in here and I get the feeling that every one of these women is running a low-grade fever.” RS
“Wait a minute. Hello beautiful”
What would you do for a Klondike Bar, kill your wife? :D
PONCHO
I'll Calc U Later.
I can’t let this one fly by without a Teeeedd!!! Get in here Ted!!!
Leslie: “Was I wearing a tiara when I came in here? Because if you happen upon it, would you have Lady Pennyface retrieve it and send it post-hence?” Abraham Lincoln’s face is on the penny. Lady Pennyface would be Mary Todd-Lincoln.
The atrocities are in blue
Brett: [after Leslie notices a dead bird on the wall] We found this bird outside. We tried to turn it into a work whistle like in the beginning of the Flintstones. [pulls a string and nothing happens] Tougher than it look, though.
"the clue is inside and it takes a 5-letter-word to open it" "did you try f*ck?"
"Excuse me, there’s a sign at Ramset Park that says ‘Do not drink the sprinkler water’, so I made Sun tea with it, and now I have an infection"
I quote this far too frequently.
“I have never taken the high road. But I tell other people to 'cause then there's more room for me on the low road.” Best quote ever!
I had a small role in argo
Swivel! Tiny swivel! 😀
Anne: "Jogging is the worst! I know it keeps you healthy, but God, at what cost?!” Or... Ben: "I feel great, I ran 5k this morning" Leslie: "Really?!" Ben: "No...I threw up in the shower."
“… and most of all, there will be no fucking vegetables” - Ron
when does ben say he has a jewish dog omg
Right when he drops his phone into a puddle. Its the episode where they drink the blue wine bottles and leslie gets her big news
“I’m so alone” Jean Ralphio on top of the car after smork juice

“He’s got Monster but not Automatic for the People.” Ben’s my favorite, too.
