History Awesome / Parksandrecreation

* "The Possum:" Mark spends the entire episode shooting down Ron's refusal to bring his woodshop up to code (which he needs to do so Mark can sign off on his plans to extend). First is his abject refusal to just fudge the job and sign off, sight-unseen. Second is when he refuses to buy Ron's obviously lie that he'd done it, telling him outright to get out of his office. Then, finally, after he shows up to help Ron bringing it up to code:
--->'''Ron''': ''(to camera)'' I am bringing my workshop up to the [[InsistentTerminology Swanson Code]]. And if the Swanson code happens to overlap with the City Government Code-
--->'''Mark''': ''(offscreen)'' SHUT. UP.
--->'''Ron''': ''(flinches and stays quiet'')

** When the van rental business owner is being a very difficult JerkAss and refuses to let them have the shuttles (because he was bribed by the Newport campaign), Donna gets back at the guy by backing [[ThePreciousPreciousCar her Mercedes]] into his car, framing him for rear ending her car. With Ron and Tom as witnesses, they threaten to call the police on him unless he gives them the vans. He agrees to.

** April, as a result of this conversation, threatening the lazy intern Ellis into getting him to do work for Ben.

** To top that off, Tom follows Leslie's lead and jumps fully clothed into the pool himself. This is someone who once spent an impromptu water fight cowering under a desk.

* In "Pawnee Commons", two {{Jerkass}} designers from Eagleton came in with a joke model for Leslie's park. Leslie's voice got '''really''' low and her eyes filled with murder.

** Followed by an equally furious Ben throwing the model in a dumpster destroying it in the process.

** Another, kind of gross, minor one: When Tom offers everyone some chewing tobacco, Leslie enthusiastically accepts some. Instead of being squicked out by it, she's spitting like a pro at the end of the scene. Gross, but no less a Crowning Moment of Awesome for someone who probably never chewed tobacco before.

* Meta: On December 14 2017, after the FCC voted to repeal Net Neutrality, Nick Offerman noticed FCC chairman Ajit Pai has Ron Swanson’s Pyramid of Manliness and transcribed what Ron has to say about this. [[https://imgur.com/gallery/PgUXs Link]].
* Another meta example. After the tragic Valentine's Day 2018 school shooting in Florida, the NRA used a gif of Leslie in a tweet relating to their attempts to stop gun control. (Gun control has ''always'' been a matter of much debate, but after this particular shooting, the demand to make guns harder to get has been ''phenomenal''. So, naturally, so has been the NRA and their supporter's attempts to circumvent it.) Yeah, the cast and crew of ''Parks and Rec'' weren't having ''any'' of that shit. [[https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/parks-and-rec-cast-slams-nra-for-using-leslie-knope-gif-w517011 Read about it here]], but the responses on Twitter have been ''fantastic''.
-->'''Ken Tremendous:''' Hi, please take this down. I would prefer you not use a GIF from a show I worked on to promote your pro-slaughter agenda. Also, Amy isn't on twitter, but she texted me a message: "Can you tweet the NRA for me and tell them I said fuck off?"\\
'''Adam Scott:''' Hey @nra please stay the fuck away from Leslie Knope.\\
'''Nick Offerman:''' Our good-hearted show and especially our Leslie Knope represent the opposite of your pro-slaughter agenda – [[SophisticatedAsHell take it down and also please eat shit.]]\\
'''Aubrey Plaza:''' ''(gif of April saying "BURN.")''

* "Live Ammo": Leslie finds herself in an impossible situation after the release of the next city budget, with three scenarios emerging after she protests the Parks Department budget getting slashed and City Council re-configures their budget; the original situation, an animal shelter having to close down, or Ann losing her job. No matter what happens, she loses. So she decides to commit "political suicide" by offering Jen Barkley the chance to use the Newports' money to save the shelter and use it in advertisements.

** Made even better by Bobby Newport's reaction.

*** Even better, the business owner asks Ron why he would lie to the police as he'd previously said "a man's word is sacred". Ron's response is that he's willing to bend on this principle "because you're an asshole".
** Andy spends the entirety of the episode trying to identify out the mysterious figure who attempted to hit Leslie with a pie but hit Jerry instead. He eventually notices how weird it is that someone who hit Jerry with a pie would be aiming for Leslie, who was too far away from him, and that logically, they would in fact have been aiming for someone else. Andy then comes to the conclusion that Ben was in fact the target, and immediately decides to find a list of everyone Ben has ever fired in order to find the culprit. He correctly concludes that it was Joe, the sewage worker who Ben previously fired for texting photos of his privates to the women of the local government. He is unable to stop Joe from finally hitting Ben with a pie later, but still: ''Andy'', of all people, shows actual cleverness, analytics, and deductive reasoning, and figures out the whole thing on his own from the get-go.

* "Two Parties": Leslie and Ken Hotate teaming up against Jamm and Kathryn Pinewood, culminating with Ken using his trademark WhiteGuilt-inducing weapons on Jamm.

** Ron's friends decided to have a sudden wedding. But they can't find wedding rings in time. Ron does what any person would do: he rips a lamp out of the wall, melts down the metal, and forges a pair of rings by hand.

* "Road Trip": After Ron took the opportunity to educate a young girl who was supposed to write a paper on why the government matters on libertarian values and and his anti-government views, the girl's mother storms in the next day to chew him out, and she actually makes him squirm.

-->'''April:''' Try solving ''this'', genius. (tosses the keys into the trash)

* "The Trial of Leslie Knope": Tammy 2 was going to take the opportunity to slander Leslie. Chris then says the following.
-->'''Chris:''' May I remind you that you are under oath, and if you lie, I will fire you and have you prosecuted.
** Tammy 2 proceeds to leave the room in a hurry.
*** The fact Chris managed to take down Tammy 2 with one sentence. Taking her down is impossible for Leslie, with Ron and Diane being the only ones able to subdue her and/or get her to back down normally, and even then they don't always succeed.

--->'''Ellis''' (chatting on the phone): Yeah, I love cupcakes.
--->'''April''' (grabbing the phone): Ellis hates you. And he has herpes. (tosses the phone into the trash)
--->'''Ellis:''' What's your problem?
--->'''April:''' My problem is you, Smellis. Ben told you to finish the website, and if you don't do it, I swear to God, I'm gonna murder you in your sleep. I know where you live. 14th Street, right? I'm gonna get a melon baller and scoop your eyes out and eat them, and your congressman uncle's gonna have to buy you a dog to drag your eyeless face around. Do you understand me?

* "Article Two": Creator/PattonOswalt's character's filibuster about what the new ''Franchise/{{Star Wars}}'' movie should be like. All filmed in one take, and likely improvised. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDUrw7j0UA4 Observe.]]

* April threatening the lazy intern Ellis into getting him to do work for Ben in "Soda Tax".
--> '''April:''' Ben told you to finish the website, and if you don't do it, I swear to God, I'm gonna murder you in your sleep. I know where you live. 14th Street, right? I'm gonna get a melon baller and scoop your eyes out and eat them, and your congressman uncle is gonna have to buy you a dog to drag your eyeless face around. Do you understand me?

'''Nick Offerman:''' Our good-hearted show and especially our Leslie Knope represent the opposite of your pro-slaughter agenda – take it down and also please eat shit.\\

* "{{I was born ready}}. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBBh7KKD-Hc I'm Ron f***ing Swanson.]]"

* "The Flu":

* In "Christmas Scandal", Leslie is roped into a media storm that assumes she's another consort of Councilman Dexhart. When things come to a head, she goes on Pawnee Today with him to disprove the rumors. Dexhart has no problem with the scandal, and even tries to get Leslie stuck in it by claiming she has a mole on her rear. Rather than staying quiet and essentially proving him right, Leslie willingly takes down her pants on TV and Dexhart is proven wrong.

* "Ron & Tammys": a drinking contest is held between Ron's mother and his first wife Tammy 1 and the winner gets Ron to come with her. They drink the Swanson family's mash liquor, whose "only legal use is to strip the varnish off of speedboats". Wanting Ron to stay at the office, Leslie joins in and gets drunk after a couple of shots. April takes one sip, spits it out and collapses. Finally wanting to end this and decide his own fate, Ron takes the jug in one hand and chugs down the rest of it with no problem in one go.
** This is also a retroactive one for Tom's Snakejuice drink, which actually succeeded in ''making Ron drunk'' in the first place.

* "Win, Lose or Draw": When Leslie wins.
* April threatening Ellis into getting him to do work for Ben in "Soda Tax" .

* "2017": Also, Leslie getting in the running against Ron and his construction company despite bidding ''nothing''.

** Craig gets a small one after April discourages a young woman from taking an internship with the Parks department, chewing her out for being ungrateful and self-centered.

-->'''Ben:''' Oh, you wanna photocopy? You guys wanna do all the mindless work? Yeah. I didn't think so, (Ben picks up the phone as the camera zooms in) Get me '''Garry Gergich'''.

--->'''Ben:''' And, by the way, [[DoubleStandard no one's ever asked me that question]]. No one ever asks me "Where's your kids?" or "Who's taking care of them? ''(Whispers to Leslie)'' By the way who is taking care of the kids?

* "The Flu": Leslie, delirious with the flu and barely able to walk, escapes from the hospital to give a ''masterful'' speech to the Pawnee Chamber of Commerce drumming up support for the Harvest Festival. An awed Ben says in a talking head:
-->"That was amazing. That was a flu-ridden Michael Jordan at the '97 NBA Finals. That was Kirk Gibson hobbling up to the plate and hitting a homer off of Dennis Eckersley. That was... that was Leslie Knope."

* On a meta-level, Burt Macklin got a final send-off on Twitter...''[[https://twitter.com/FBI/status/570642204399681536 FROM THE REAL LIFE FBI]]''.

*** Even better, the business owner asks Ron, a "man of principle", why he would lie to the police. Ron's response is "because you're an asshole".

-->'''Ron''': Attention person who shot me in the head. [[BadassBoast I will find you, and I will TEAR YOU APART!]]
-->'''Ann''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Ron. Bed.]]
-->'''Ron''': (''meekly'') M'kay.

--->'''Ann''': S'why they call it 'chew' and not 'swallow.' Am I right, Ron?

--> '''Tammy 2:''' You're not even a man anymore. Oh, and by the way, last night, I faked four out of the seven.\\

* "Road Trip": After Ron took the opportunity to educate a young girl who was supposed to write a paper on why government matters on libertarian values and why the government doesn't matter, the girl's mother storms in the next day to chew him out, and she actually makes him squirm.

'''Jennifer:''' Then dream ''bigger''! Look, you love this town. It's being run by monsters and morons? Get a better job! Rise above their heads. Affect change at a higher level. Don't be the kid that graduates high school and hangs out in the school parking lot. Be the woman who moves away, climbs the ladder, and then confidently comes back and has sex with her hot old English teacher just for kicks. [...] Look, Pawnee has done you a favor. You've outgrown them. You've got talent, and you've got name recognition. Which means that you have a bright, wide-open future with a thousand options. State Senate, federal jobs, even congress! All of these are doable for you. And you can trust me because I don't care enough about you to lie.

-->'''Ann''': S'why they call it 'chew' and not 'swallow.' Am I right, Ron?
-->'''Ron''': Yes, you are right.

-->'''Jerry:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Plus, wasn't dreaming big exactly what got you in trouble with your old company?]]

--> "Holy shit, Leslie, that was awesome!"

--> '''Ron''': People who buy things are suckers.

-->'''Leslie''': I would like to point out that we drove here all the way from Pawnee, Indiana — a city with some class, by the way — and sure, my husband made an honest mistake twenty years ago, but it was very meaningful that you were going to finally be able to forgive him!
-->'''Citizen''': If it's so meaningful to him, then where is he?!
-->'''Leslie''': He is in the hospital, ''sir''! He has a calcified rock lodged in his penis! Frankly, Ben Wyatt is the best thing to come out of this crap town! [...] Ben Wyatt is better than all of you because he cared about this town and he tried to help it! You know what? Screw you, Partridge! And a sled is a stupid mascot!

-->'''Jamm:''' ''(On the phone)'' Yeah, it's me... We got Jammed.

-->'''Donna:''' You're beautiful, yet cold and aloof. You pride yourself on being a loner. You do not obey, you ''choose'' to cooperate, and when you stop baring your fangs to pick a mate, it's for life. And you're fiercely loyal to your pack, which makes you a rare black Siberian husky.

-->'''Citizens:''' (chanting) WE'RE NOT AGAINST YOU ON THIS! WE'RE NOT AGAINST YOU ON THIS! WE'RE NOT AGAINST YOU ON THIS!

-->'''Craig:''' April, you spent the last ten years doing amazing things with this Parks Department and learning from the greatest teacher in this or any business, Leslie freaking Knope! You'd be a check-out girl at a gas station if it wasn't for that internship! [...] You're lucky to have worked here, no matter what you want to do with the rest of your life, and I think you know that.

-->'''Ben:''' What Gryzzl is doing with our private information may not technically be illegal, but it's definitely not "chill".
-->'''Roscoe Santangelo:''' Whoa, that's a serious allegasche, homie. We are hella chill, and frankly, if you don't like our vibe, you don't have to use our shiz.
-->'''Ben:''' Well, we kind of do. I mean, the Internet is no longer optional; it's a necessity for everyone. And I think you do know that datamining isn't "chill", because you snuck it into the twenty-seventh update of a ''five-hundred-page'' user agreement. A person should not have to have an advanced law degree to avoid being taken advantage of by a multi-billion dollar company! You should be upfront about what you're doing and allow people the ability to opt out.

-->'''Ben:''' Sorry, but this whole thing makes me queasy. I love how independent my wife is and because of that I will not let her speak... {{that came out wrong}}. The point is, Leslie is a great mother, public servant, all-around person and I am tired of everybody constantly telling her that she's making the wrong choice. ''(passes the mic to Leslie)'' You can say whatever you want. I couldn't care less about the political consequences.

-->'''Leslie:''' I'm sorry that the spotlight is on me and not on Ben, because he's going to make a great congressman. [[ShutUpHannibal Second, the Male Men? You're ridiculous, and men's rights is nothing. Third, I am now going to give you permanent answers to all of the silly questions you’re going to ask me and every other woman in this election over the next few months]]: 'Why did I change my hairstyle?' I don't know, I just thought it would look better, or my kids got gum in it. 'Are you trying to have it all?' That question makes no sense! It's a stupid question. Stop asking it. 'Do you miss your kids when you're at work?' Yes, of course I do! Everybody does! And then, you know, sometimes, I don't.
-->'''Ben:''' And, by the way, [[DoubleStandard no one's ever asked me that question]]. No one ever asks me "Where's your kids?" or "Who's taking care of them? ''(Whispers to Leslie)'' By the way who is taking care of the kids?
-->'''Leslie:''' My Mom babe, everything's fine.
-->'''Ben:''' So Leslie doesn't fit your personal idea of what [[StepfordSmiler a candidate's]] [[{{Housewife}} wife]] should be. So what? That's good, because there shouldn't be just one idea anyway.
-->'''Leslie:''' It's great if you want to bake a pie and it's great if you want to have a career. That's great too, [[TakeAThirdOption do both, or neither]]. It doesn't matter, just don't judge what someone else has decided to do. We are all just trying to find the right path for us. As individuals... on this earth.

** A very small one, but Jerry, ''of all people'', is able to get Tom to stop fooling around with a bunch of ludicrous ideas to make the Parks and Red department more snazzy. Even better is his closing line.

** Ron's friends decided to have a sudden wedding. But they can't find wedding rings in time. Ron does what any person would do: rips a lamp out of the wall, melts down the metal, and forges a pair of rings by hand.

*** To add to this, Ben was about to lay into Jamm, only for Ron to stop him because he shouldn't get himself into trouble on his own wedding night, and Chris and Andy jumped out of their seats, clearly ready to clobber Jamm. Really, the only reason Ron got the honor was because he was physically closer.

* "Moving Up": The Pawnee/Eagleton unity concert features Ginuwine (who is, in fact, Donna's cousin), Music/TheDecemberists, a Mouse Rat reunion and Music/LettersToCleo!

* Jenn's speech to Leslie in "Second Chunce".

** Also, Leslie getting in the running against Ron and his construction company despite bidding ''nothing''.

* "Smallest Park": A very small one, but Jerry, ''of all people'', is able to get Tom to stop fooling around with a bunch of ludicrous ideas to make the Parks and Red department more snazzy. Even better is his closing line.

** When the van rental business owner is being a very difficult JerkAss and refuses to let them have the shuttles (because he was bribed by the Newport campaign), Donna gets back at the guy by backing [[ThePrecousPreciousCar her Mercedes]] into his car, framing him for running into her. With Ron and Tom as witnesses, they threaten to call the police on him unless he gives them the vans. He agrees to.

-->''Ben:'' Oh, you wanna photocopy? You guys wanna do all the mindless work? Yeah. I didn't think so, (Ben picks up the phone as the camera zooms in) Get me '''Garry Gergich'''.

* From "One Last Ride," the fact that over the course of the show that Leslie is able to achieve one of her childhood dreams: [[spoiler:becoming governor of Indiana]].

** It's also heavily implied by [[spoiler: Leslie and Ben having secret service at Garry's funeral that Leslie eventually achieves her other dream: First Female President of the United States of America. ]]

* Another, kind of gross, minor one: When Tom offers everyone some chewing tobacco, Leslie enthusiastically accepts some. Instead of being squicked out by it, she's spitting like a pro at the end of the scene. Gross, but no less a Crowning Moment of Awesome for someone who probably never chewed tobacco before.

* From "Media Blitz": After spending the entire episode humiliating himself during interviews because of the Ice Town debacle, Ben finally pulls himself together and delivers this response to someone calling Pawnee Today claiming that he ran seven towns into bankruptcy:

* The Harvest Festival episode showed that Ron Swanson is a man who would instantly solve everyone's problem just to shut them up.

* Ron explaining to Chris why the changes he made to the Parks and Rec department aren't working and making everyone miserable. Before agreeing to a compromise of staying at the circular desk Chris made him use for a week while the rest change back to normal, Ron demonstrates great insight to his employees.

* During "The Trial of Leslie Knope", Tammy 2 was going to take the opportunity to slander Leslie. Chris then says the following.

* In "Ron & Tammys", a drinking contest is held between Ron's mother and his first wife Tammy 1 and the winner gets Ron to come with her. They drink the Swanson family's mash liquor, whose "only legal use is to strip the varnish off of speedboats". Wanting Ron to stay at the office, Leslie joins in and gets drunk after a couple of shots. April takes one sip, spits it out and collapses. Finally wanting to end this and decide his own fate, Ron takes the jug in one hand and drinks down the rest of it with no problem.
** This is also a retroactive one for Tom's Snakejuice drink, which actually succeeded in ''making Ron drunk'' in the first place.
* In "Bowling for Votes", Ben punches out a drunken {{Jerkass}} who called Leslie a "bitch". Leslie even says right afterward that it was "awesome" and kisses him.

* In "Lucky", Leslie bombs an impromptu interview by showing up drunk. However she is saved by the tape of it being lost in airport luggage. TheStinger reveals that the airport staff, whom Leslie has done much for in the past, purposely threw it in the trash.

* Leslie's speech during her campaign in response to the Newports threatening to leave Pawnee and take their candy business with them if [[UpperClassTwit Bobby Newport]] doesn't get elected.

* Donna sacrificing her Mercedes to get the senior shuttles for Leslie. Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.
* Andy spends the entirety of "Bus Tour" trying to identify out the mysterious figure who attempted to hit Leslie with a pie but hit Jerry instead. He eventually notices how weird it is that someone who hit Jerry with a pie would be aiming for Leslie, who was too far away from him, and that logically, they would in fact have been aiming for someone else. Andy then comes to the conclusion that Ben was in fact the target, and immediately decides to find a list of everyone Ben has ever fired in order to find the culprit.

* When Leslie wins.
* April threatening Ellis into getting him to do work for Ben in "Soda Tax" (Season 5 Episode 2).

* Tom pushing Councilman Jamm into the pool (fully clothed) to stop him from telling some school children about the deal Leslie made to help them.
* Ron and Ben's father reaching for the last shrimp at the party. Yes, Ron Swanson and [[Series/BreakingBad Mike Ehrmantraut]] staring each other down.

--> '''Leslie:''' You have five seconds to get out of here, or I will rip your throats out
* Ron's friends decided to have a sudden wedding. But they can't find wedding rings in time. Ron does what any person would do: rips a lamp out of the wall, melts down the metal, and forges a pair of rings by hand.

* Ron punching Councilman Jamm in the face.
** To add to this, Chris and Andy getting out of their seats in defense of Leslie, showing that the only reason Ron got the honor is likely because he was physically closer.
** In a later episode, Jamm tries to sue Ron over it, and Tom and April assemble a file of the lies he told, threaten him with perjury charges, and top everything off by Tom faking an injury in Jamm's office. It may be the only time that Jamm actually admitted defeat.
-->'''Jamm:''' ''[On the phone]'' Yeah, it's me... We got Jammed.
* In "Partridge", Leslie is furious that the people of Ben's hometown invited him to receive the key to the city only to attempt to publicly humiliate him for Ice Town once again, and this occurs:
-->'''Leslie''': I would like to point out that we drove here all the way from Pawnee, Indiana—a city with some class, by the way—and sure, my husband made an honest mistake twenty years ago, but it was very meaningful that you were going to finally be able to forgive him!

* Ann getting a reluctant April to sing Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" with her and Donna suddenly joining in.
* Creator/PattonOswalt's filibuster about what the new ''{{Star Wars}}'' movie should be like. All filmed in one take, and likely improvised. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDUrw7j0UA4 Observe.]]
* In "Gin It Up!", Ben of all people forces Ron to reconsider his refusal to leave his children more than fifty dollars of his vast fortune:
-->"It doesn't matter how much money you leave your kids; what matters is that you teach them the right values. But if something horrible happens and you want your kids to be left alone with no safety net just so they can learn some kind of weird lesson, then by all means—leave your fortune to the wild boar who gores you to death."

* In "Fluoride," Donna's spot-on analysis of April and choosing of her spirit dog:

* The Pawnee/Eagleton unity concert in "Moving Up" features Ginuwine (who is, in fact, Donna's cousin), Music/TheDecemberists, a Mouse Rat reunion and Music/LettersToCleo!
** Culminating in a rendition of "5000 Candles in the Wind" by all of the above, plus [[spoiler:a sax solo by Mr Duke Silver!]]

* Leslie getting in the running against Ron and his construction company despite bidding ''nothing''.
* After spending the entirety of "Gryzzlbox" refusing to get involved with Leslie's crusade against Gryzzl's data mining tactics because it didn't involve him personally and he found the fact that people (inadvertently) agreed to it, he show's up at Ben and Leslie's door at the very end of the episode with a shotgun in one hand and a disabled Gryzzl drone in the other. He "shot it out of the sky" because [[PapaWolf it invaded his son's privacy]] (his son is four and doesn't own a Gryzzl device). In the middle of a lightning storm. Bad. Ass.
** The citizens of Pawnee '''supporting''' Leslie to get Gryzzl to stop invading their privacy. After 6 seasons of them dismissing Leslie, to them agreeing with her is an awesome moment for her.

-->'''Ron''': Yes, you are right.
* In "Jerry's painting," MoralGuardians are pressuring Leslie to destroy a painting depicting herself as a topless Greek goddess. Leslie, who loves the painting, offers to remove it from public view and just keep it at her house, but the MoralGuardians will have none of it. In the end, she presents them with what she claims is the painting repainted to have Tom's face and torso instead of hers, [[DoubleStandard which satisfies them.]] The episode ends with a TalkingHeads bit of Leslie in her office.
-->'''Leslie:''' There were many goddesses in ancient Greece. Some of them were lovers. Some of them were fighters.

-->'''Leslie:''' And some of them were ''[[TheTrickster tricksters]]''!
* In "Eagleton," Ann goes to pick Leslie up from jail, where she's ended up after getting into a fight with her former best friend. Ann gives a very insightful, understanding summary of Leslie's emotional situation, before concluding:
-->'''Ann:''' [[BewareTheNiceOnes And just say the word and I will beat her senseless with a baseball bat.]]
