We are lit-erally laughing ourselves to death, welcome to Ms. Mojo and today
We're counting down our picks for the top ten Parks and Recreation running gags
Why do you come here at dinnertime and get takeout from the legendary JJ's diner?
It's not for me
These waffles make great dog laxatives. Before we begin we publish new
Content every day so be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos
For this list we're looking at our favorite jokes that crop up again and again on this hit NBC show. Jerry
Did you use permanent marker again? I'm sorry guys--I-I
Ten Pawnee City Hall's murals: It's one of our best murals
It depicts the very famous battle at Coney go Creek
Throughout the series we get tidbits of information about the history of Pawnee scattered amidst other storylines
One indication of the city's dark past is on prominent display in the murals found lining the walls of City Hall. I'm surprised
No one's complained about this. Oh, tons of people have. The murals each depict a key moment in the formation of Pawnee
But each one seems more gruesome
Violent or racist than the last. In a season 2 episode City Hall decides to replace one particular mural
Which has been vandalized
multiple times because of its
Questionable subject matter. Of course things don't go as planned and the old mural remains
They realized it was gonna cost a ton of money to hire a muralist so they're just gonna restore the old one
They're changing the title to the Diversity Express. Number nine: lit-erally. Dr. Harris
you
Are literally the meanest person I've ever met. The character of Chris Traeger was in addition to Parks and Rec in the show's second season
And after he arrived everything looked a little bit brighter. Would you gentlemen like a tour? Oh? There is quite literally nothing?
I would rather have in the world than a tour of the Parks and Recreation Department of the great city of Pawnee
Led by Ron Swanson. This character's undying optimism is infectious except when it's totally annoying
There's literally the best news that I've heard all day. Clearly trained in the art of making personal connections, Chris never fails to use someone's
Name when addressing them, even if it's his romantic partner. Ann Perkins!
April Ludgate literally two of my favorite people on earth his most notable personality quirk
However is his over emphasis on the word literally his blind enthusiasm makes us forget that half the time
He's using the word incorrectly. Andy that was an amazing shoe shine
I can literally see my face in my shoes. Number Eight: Everyone hates the library
Everyone knows that the library is the worst group of people ever assembled in history, right? Punk ass book jockeys
While at first this sentiment seems ridiculous as the series progresses it starts to make more and more sense. They're like a biker gang
But instead of shotguns and crystal meth they use
Political savvy and shushing. In terms of interdepartmental rivalries, there is none more deep-seated than that between the Parks and Recreation Department
and the library
Pawnees library department is run by Ron's manipulative ex-wife Tammy 2 - who acts as one of the series biggest villains though
she is nothing compared to Tammy 1. An hour ago a giant fireball consumed my entire face
And it was far preferable to spending another second with you hmm
Tell that to your pants tent. Number Seven: Leslie's love of waffles
Everyone knows that Leslie Knope puts nothing before her job, okay
Maybe her friends, but she puts nothing before her friends well except. Maybe waffles. Are you sure that's the best thing for you right now
oh, it's the best thing in the menu. Leslie's frequent visits to JJ's diner always end with a giant plate of waffles no matter the
occasion
Anything for my favorite customer
It was once estimated that she spent over a thousand dollars in a calendar year on the sugary breakfast food
You've been over $1,000 last year on waffles alone
She has them in good times and bad for better or for worse. If only JJ's were real so we could try some for ourselves
I got you some waffles here courtesy of JJ's diner and chicken soup courtesy of me. I'll take the waffles
Thank you
Number Six: Ben's love for calzones. Why eat pizza when you can have a calzone?
What I'm talking about is a portable delicious meal that is its own container. It's a whole new spin on Italian fast casual dining
Amazing. It seems everyone on the show has a specific food
Item that they have a weakness for. And these delicate little dough pockets just happened to be Ben Wyatt's. It's the stunning culinary innovation
It was a calzone. A former mayor of Ice Town loves calzones almost as much as he loves Game of Thrones
When he's not busy working on the Cones of Dunshire. He's coming up with awesome ideas for calzone chains. Ben
We believe in you and would totally eat at a low-cal calzone zone. That idea is literally the greatest idea
I have ever heard in my life. that idea is terrible
Number Five: Pawnee versus Eagleton. Their air may smell like vanilla because of the scent wafting from their cupcake factory
But every true Pawnee citizen knows that Eagleton is trash
The only thing they beat us in is life-expectancy, beauty pageants, and average income. Who cares?
It's the birthplace of Lord Voldemort,
Well according to Leslie and a land of rich snobby jerks
Pawnee is and always will be a dirty little nightmare from which you will never wake up
But it was good seeing you the rivalry between these neighboring towns has been going on for decades
Since Eagleton was founded by the wealthiest members of Pawnee, back in the early 1800s
Pawnee got the last laugh, though
When Eagleton was ultimately absorbed into the city of Pawnee in season six. When you tell him it's time to change their oil they ask;
Extra virgin or white truffle?
Number Four: Ron's love of food. Ron Swanson, aka Duke Silver, is a simple man
He doesn't want much, but when he finds something he loves, he loves it with his whole heart
Just like his colleague Leslie, Ron harbors a deep affection for breakfast food along with pretty dark-haired women
Even going as far as hanging a picture of it in his office. I'm a simple man
I like pretty dark-haired women and breakfast food
His love of meat is only rivaled by his love of Scotch with both holding a near equal importance. Prepare to experience
true freedom and bliss
Ron will always say no to salad and skim milk, and when he asks for all the eggs and bacon you have,
You'd better give it to him. I worry what you just heard was
Give me a lot of bacon and eggs. What I said was
Give me ALL the bacon and eggs you have
Do you understand. Number Three: Dammit Jerry. That's Gary Jerry Larry gergich, Gingrich? I?
burned in all my names
I really didnt know what to do. Jerry Terry Larry Barry Gary
Whatever you want to call him, this guy has been ruining everything in the Parks and Recreation Department since he started working there
That looks awesome! Is your penis between the front arms or the back legs? Yeah, where's your penis?
Damn it, Jerry! It's impossible to list all of the errors clubs and mishaps
He's been involved in, but trust us, they are plentiful. Even one of them had a unique scar, we got him.
I didnt get a good look. Damn it Jerry! Despite all that, he has a beautiful and loving wife as well as a charming family
His coworkers constant bullying may seem mean-spirited and sometimes they can take their frustration a step too far
Also making a comeback, the casual Hawaiian shirt
Wow, look who's ahead of the curve. I was joking. You should soak that and bleach and burn it. Most of the time though
We just want to scream damn it Jerry along with them
Oh geez, did a dinosaur just fart? Jerry get a grip
Sorry guys. Number two: Li'l
Sebastian. If you don't understand the appeal of lil Sebastian you're clearly not a real pawneean. wow he is so adorable
Thank You Joan. lil Sebastian isn't bad either
Do not call him a pony this miniature horse was stealing hearts in Indiana for years before meeting his
unfortunate demise in the third season of Parks and Rec
Bye, bye, Li'l Sebastian. Miss you in the saddest fashion.
An
Inspirational figure to all who met him, lil Sebastian was a true national treasure
While he sadly was not present in the later seasons of the show, his memory lived on
He was even memorialized as a hologram during the Unity Concert in the season 6 finale
Before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions; You buy a Gulfstream g4 je- already interested.
Take the wheels off- get them off of there. Turn the jet into an apartment building; people could live inside their own private jet!
My name is Burt Macklin
I'm with the FBI
Today we put those horribly painful memories behind us as we welcome back the mayor who made all of that possible
Ben Wyatt
Number One: Leslie's compliments to Ann.
Ann, you beautiful tropical fish. You're smart as a whip and you're cool under pressure
You've resuscitated a human heart in your bare hands. No
I haven't. You haven't?! In many ways Parks and Rec was all about the meaning of friendship
And there is no friendship on the show that perfectly exemplifies that theme as the one between Ann
and Leslie. You beautiful spinster, I will find you love
What did you say something? Love you. Leslie's borderline obsession with Ann is always hilarious
But never more so that when she's doling out her weird and wonderful compliments. Look you're Ann Perkins- Sperm
that is worthy of your perfect eggs does not grow on trees.
Throughout the series she cycles through dozens of different ways to express to Ann how much she loves her, and each one is
stranger than the last. Ann
you poetic, noble land mermaid, you're right once again
We hope everyone eventually finds the Leslie to their Ann. And to thank you both for being there when I needed you, I carved your
Faces into these jack-o'-lanterns, and it was very hard to capture your beauty and Ben you make a sexy pumpkin no surprise
Love you both, see you later
