*I think that is definently the case later in the show. Early in the show, they were trying to go for a mockumentary thing, but I think the "they are making a documentary about us!" premise has pretty much been abandoned, in favour of just using it as a stylistic choice to, as you say, get into the heads of the characters.

[[WMG:When the show is running out of material and ratings are falling, there will be a [[SweepsWeekLesbianKiss lesbian kiss]] between Leslie and Ann.]]
It will happen for some contrived sitcom reason, a fact which will be [[BaitAndSwitchLesbians ignored by the advertising]]. They'll spend several episodes dealing with all the fallout and drama. The whole arc will be very annoying, commentators will complain about [[UnfortunateImplications why two women can't be close friends without being lesbians]], and the show itself may JumpTheShark.

Hillary Clinton determinded that she's getting too old to be elected president, and so she created a younger clone of herself to take over her quest after she's gone.

Amy Poehler, who plays Leslie Knope, played Hillary Clinton on ''SaturdayNightLive''. She, too, is a clone of Hillary Clinton.

Unlike ''TheOffice,'' it's never stated that a documentary is being made about Pawnee's Parks and Rec department. Most of the time, when characters do two or more aside comments in one scene, they don't speak as if they know or remember the scene; they speak as if they are thinking of the comment while the scene is happening. When characters interrupt or comment on each others' asides, it just means that they're thinking aloud.

[[WMG: Tom has partial immunity to Snakejuice because he taste-tested it a lot over the development stage.]]

The character sheet points out that him only being a bit affected by the otherwise powerful drink. The answer is simple: he and maybe Jean Ralphio were the only ones who would taste test. Over time, he built up an immunity to it. Hence why he wasn't knocked out flat.

[[WMG:So, what's a staunch libertarian doing in local government, anyway?]]
The answer is obvious, and comes down to two things: the theory of gravity, and Ron's moustache.
Just astronomical bodies are drawn to orbit objects of greater mass, so too are powerful ''things''. Ron Swanson's moustache is patently one of the most powerful things in the universe -- far more powerful than local government, and probably comparable in power to Ron himself. Therefore it is inevitable that local government is drawn to orbit around his moustache and, by extension, him. He can't help it. Or rather, he can help it, but only up to a point -- if that moustache were attached to a lesser man, it would be running Nebraska -- or possibly America -- as a totalitarian dictatorship. Only the raw power of Ron's disdain for power can counteract its awesome influence.
We should all be grateful to him.

* Not exactly true. In the pilot, Ron Swanson acknowledges the presence of the documentary crew, asking them if they got a grant to make this. But much like The Office, the format is certainly a stylistic choice more than anything else, and they don't make a great deal of effort to maintain this illusion.
