Parks and Recreation has spawned many memes to the point of being a Fountain of Memes.
- Posting Tom saying "I've looked at this for five hours now."
in response to any image the user likes. - Responding to clips and images of Andy with "I'm glad he's guarding our galaxy".
- The "codenames" scene is one of the show's most quoted. Fans seem to love mapping it onto other characters (i.e., the gang from The Magic School Bus in one fanfic), in the same vein as Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
- The "Too Afraid to Ask" scene: "I don't know what X is... and at this point I'm too afraid to ask."
- Fred Armisen's character, from Pawnee's Venezuelan sister city, saying "Right to jail"—used in response to either heavy-handed penalties for minor infractions, or actions that the commenter thinks are very bad, even if they aren't actually illegal.
- Tom and Donna's "Treat yo'self!" for anytime you're debating making that self-indulgent purchase.
- Andy gasping◊ at the end of the Season 5 finale, often used in reaction to something big and surprising being revealed.
- "I have done nothing wrong. Ever. In my life." "I know this, and I love you."◊
- The entirety of this Cold Open for "The Fight" has become extremely popular crossover fuel, especially in Among Us. Its popularity rivals that of the "codenames" scene."So. Who broke it?"
- Also in "The Fight", the "Snake Juice" sequence...especially Ron dancing.
- This clip of Ron throwing his computer monitor into the trash has become a popular reaction meme, especially in retaliation to something you did not want to happen or hope never to see.
- Comparing Leslie to Isabelle from Animal Crossing: New Leaf due to Isabelle's blonde fur and their similar perky, hardworking and upbeat personalities. One example here.
- "I don't even have time to explain how wrong you are. (beat) Actually, it's going to bug me if I don't.". Used online as a reaction gif or forum weapon when you're about to correct someone.
- "I'm April, this is my boyfriend, Derek, and this is Derek's boyfriend Ben" is commonly mapped onto polyamorous ships in other fandoms.
- Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa Saperstein doing the "Don't be suspicious" dance has recently seen a lot of use on Tik-Tok, and especially with the game Among Us.
- "I was born ready. I'm Ron Fucking Swanson." Often used in response when someone is about to something dangerous, or in anticipation for an event.
- "Someone will die." "Of fun!". Often Mapped onto two contrasting characters with differing opinions and personalities, such as this Star Wars themed one, or this one based on Inside Job (2021).
- April's sarcastic spiel about how men are better than women became a popular sound byte on Tik-Tok for videos of women, who otherwise consider themselves feminists, happily standing aside to let men take care of grunt work such as loading heavy objects into trucks.
- "I have complete faith in you." (Gilligan Cut) "There's, like, a 30% chance they'll both die."
- Ron telling a store employee "I know more than you", whenever the poster wants to demonstrate their knowledge.
- "Ron Swanson Screaming." This one originates from the scene where Ron washes down painkillers with Scotch after getting shot in the head, and Ann and Leslie try to get him to throw it all back up. Its memetic usage, however, more often involves an Absurd Phobia getting triggered out of nowhere, such as:
- "It's about the X", a picture of Ben winning Cones of Dunshire with "It's about the cones" replaced with anything the poster wants.
