Folks say that they want a friend like Leslie, someone to love like Ann, to have a role model like Ron, to be able to redeem oneself like Ben, to be as confident as Tom, to have the innocence of Andy, to always be yourself like April, to overcome your demons like Chris, or to have the perfect life like Garry. But to get all that, you need to be *Donna.*
Still one of my favorite moments and most heart warming of all the show is when Donna tricks everyone into calling him Garry. I legitimately teared up a little for how wonderful of a person Donna is for that
@@techscw I haven't watched the show, but from what I understand, there's this huge technology company which is super shady and they were the ones that made the phone. Starts with a "G" I think? I understand the comment is not very helpful, but I tried to fill in the gaps where I could (or rather, I guess I'm creating the gaps for others to fill in).
@@trickytreyperfected1482 You're right, Gryzzl. They built a ton of gadgets, gave the town wifi, etc. And then turned out to be spying on everybody through their tech.
@@cliffysilver6612 in order of niceness to Gary, it's Ben who has never joined in on making fun and had wholesome moments with Gary, Donna who laughs in a non mean spirited way but still a real one, Leslie who makes fun but still does nice gestures as she does with everyone, Ann who's just nice but has limited interaction, Chris who also has limited interaction but it's funny because he impartially acknowledges Gary as a loser, Ron who respects but shows tough love by actively making fun of Gary, Andy who sees Gary as a buddy but like a jock/nerd dynamic so he gives him a hard time, April who makes fun of Gary and it gets a little mean spirited, and Tom who goes out of his way to point out everything wrong or blames Gary cuz he has a fear of being in Gary's shoes so it gets really mean spirited.
@@reinforcer9000 in an order of the niceness you made, scratch Andy and/or at least April and Tom out of the list, the word "nice" never deserved to be in the same sentence with them
Funny thing is, Gary had the best home life of all of them. He had a beautiful happy wife, and 3 lovely daughters to go home to. I think sometimes their cruelty was born from a place of envy or anger at the fact that he really had it all. And, he was actually quite talented with art!
The episode where he and Ben went on the carriage ride we learned he acts the way he does at the office purposely and doesn’t prefer people know he is an awesome being. So humble.
I think Donna has the most exciting and insane life outside the office. Just does regular work during the day and has crazy adventures after 5PM. That would be it's own show.
I think most of them had the perfect home life for themselves. I think April and Andy are infinitely happier with how their life is than they would be if they had Garry’s life. Garry has his perfect home life, and everyone else has their own version of a perfect home life.
I think we got a really good amount. These two supporting characters got to shine. This is well done world building and characterization. We fell in love with the Donna-Jerry chemistry. A show "starting" them would've been terrible.
You know Jerry and Donna were only credited as starring characters for most of the show until Ann and Chris left the show and Jerry and Donna were promoted to main characters
I did not know that! Kind of a trade up, to be honest. I didn't dislike Chris and Ann, but it kind of felt like the writers were treading water with them fairly early on? I loved them, but they just seem like they didn't had enough going on to justify the amount of attention they received. These two though! I would have gladly watched more.
This was perfect, but you left out one of my favorites which was when Garry was supposed to mail out Leslie’s campaign flyers and he did all of them wrong. Donna stayed to help him! It was super sweet!
Donna laughs at Jerry’s clumsiness and stupid moments but she cares about him deeply. She doesn’t want see him hurt and honestly they are more like family at this point.
I think it makes sense that Donna and Jerry would be so close, they do the most work besides Leslie for the Parks and rec department and aren't they technically the most senior employees?
Too many poeple want to be friends with the popular persons, but jerry is a fine example of that person who isn't cool and but could be a reliable friend (and an interresting, funny one). Jerry should be the kind of middle_aged adult we want to become : his public life is boring and unnoticed but his family life is content and complete and safe. We think that to live a full life we have to be loud and visible and thrilling and exceptional. We don't dream of an '' ordinary life'', because it lacks' 'bling' ' but trully, most popular ppl and successful ppl are miserable where it counts. The' 'B' ' word thing seems absurd, but i' ve noticed it since i was a kid : the less violence there's in a family, the lower is their tolerance threshold for violence. I've had a gf who would be devastated bc her father simply yelled at her, bc verbal violence occurs so rarely in their home. I've known other kids who would get a beating and go back to play, not that it doesn't hurt them, but the daily exposure to violence takes away the '' shock'' factor. So Jerry' s over reaction to his wife '' light gentle criticism'' makes sense,if there no violence in their home.
7:15 I love this shot cause it’s hilarious seeing the three of them stand together like that. Ron with this apathetic scowl and Chris’s permanent huge grin, while they’re both just standing still staring straight ahead is the best. And Donna just leaning back and eating popcorn next to them is the cherry on top.
Garry didn't deserve to get bullied on this show. It just makes the rest of the cast seem less likeable when they treat a good guy like that. It should've been Tom who got bullied
@@ryman1933 Great minds think alike, I guess. Characters like Andy, April and Ron all just seem so unlikeable when you see them treat him like that. The moments in this video at least made me love Donna more. She just seemed like a sarcastic but genuine friend to him
@@eryvac0074 Even seeing Leslie be mean to him feels cruel and out of character. She was always shown as a overly caring individual who wanted more than anything to improve the lives of everyone, and she was always shown to get along with anyone who treats her with mutual respect. Yet she goes out of her way to show malice towards him for reasons unknown, despite his consistently caring and friendly attitude. You are right and it very well should have been Tom who got bullied considering he was already established as a character who could always bounce back, and offered an equal annoyance in exchange for his deserved bullying.
Music nerd time! At 4:37, Tom sings a Bb. Donna sings a D, a major third above. To create the major chord sound we are all familiar with, April would need to sing an F, a perfect fifth. Instead, she sings an F#, which is an augmented fifth, creating that dissonant sound. Instead of creating a major triad, she created an augmented triad, a quite spicy chord most frequently seen in jazz, for example in place of the 5 chord in a minor blues. Andy then sings another Bb an octave above to top it off. Shows how in-sync April and Andy are and brings out some of April's personality. Not sure if this was written on improvised but it's a cool detail.
I'd been watching Parks & Rec clips sporadically for some time now. I clicked on this video still wondering and specifically asking why the call him Garry. My question was answered within a minute and nineteen seconds.
I love how the passport was Donna's last straw. Garry probably wonders for awhile why donna just slapped him out of nowhere, if he could remember it that is😂
Jim O'Heir has an obsession with The Newlywed Game I'm sure! He recognises the format from Know Your Boo and also his character Sheriff Reynolds in Brooklyn Nine-Nine uses it to interrogate Jake and Captain Holt!
I loved parks and rec but I always got tired of the constant bullying of Garry but I loved when they showed him some love either through Anne or Donna.
1:46 I like how here they talk about the newly wed show and in Brooklyn 99 the person who plays Gary plays another character there and they play the newly wed game
So we get 2 minutes of "Know Your Boo" clips which mostly feature an obnoxious Tom but you leave out the scenes with Jerry putting flyers in envelopes and Donna canceling her bath with a fireman to watch Jerry?
Everyone needs a Donna in their life, but always be sure to _be_ a Donna for someone else!
Folks say that they want a friend like Leslie, someone to love like Ann, to have a role model like Ron, to be able to redeem oneself like Ben, to be as confident as Tom, to have the innocence of Andy, to always be yourself like April, to overcome your demons like Chris, or to have the perfect life like Garry. But to get all that, you need to be *Donna.*
I love both these comments
Wisdom 😊
I try to be for those in my life.
I would agree, but everyone also needs a a friend like Garry who is super nice, supportive, loyal, and happy to laugh at himself.
As long as you're on Donna's good side
Still one of my favorite moments and most heart warming of all the show is when Donna tricks everyone into calling him Garry. I legitimately teared up a little for how wonderful of a person Donna is for that
Gary's reaction to Donna ordering dinner is the best
That's how I react every time someone orders me dinner.
4:01
Yo, what kind of 22nd century phone was she using to get dinner?

You mean Larry
Did you mean terry
@@Quartz_111 other than him you mean
Garry's moment at Donna's wedding is one of my favorite moments of the show. It's extremely wholesome and I love it
What an unexplored friendship in such a great TV show. It's unfair we didn't get to see more.
I think we got a really good amount. These two supporting characters got to shine. This is well done world building and characterization. We fell in love with the Donna-Jerry chemistry. A show "starting" them would've been terrible.
@@TheHomerowKeys we just wanted more, not a whole show dedicated to them
@@dookiewu dude. We got enough
@@TheHomerowKeys that's just like your opinion man
I loved Jerry's face when Donna said she was gonna get them dinner. He looked like a happy puppy!
His name is Garry, you big B-Word 🙄
*The one dislike is Garry. He clicked the wrong button by mistake.*
Damnit Garry!
Hahahahahahaha
Add 1 dollar to Gerry dinner!
Your comment made me giggle and snort.
Not original but funny

Gary is so wholesome and kind, all be it abit clumsy but his heart is always in the right place
That moment when Jerry used the newlywed game in Brooklyn nine nine xD
🤯🤯🤯😂😂🔥🔥
The Newlywed game is a real thing.
@@FalonGrey yeah, but no one HERE has it
“Oh wait, lemme see your stamps” *slap* lol I’ve never seen that clip before. but that was so perfect
This was a great homage to Garry! He was made fun of most of all but I think all of our lives would be better if we all had a "Garry" in our lives.
Her “merry Christmas BITCHES” was hilarious 🤣
Donna is the best character in this series. Everyone needs a friend like Donna.

Donna is a gem. She gets along with anyone, a badass yet softie in the inside.
When Donna says she's gonna order dinner and he is just like 'oh, heck yeah'
There was the letter licking scene too with them that I really liked.
I need a Donna. Everyone does need a Donna in their lives and ours . Everyone have a wonderful day tomorrow and have a wonderful night.
Park and Rec is really had a genuine warm moments compare to the other show...
the office WISHES
Yaasss
their friendship is honestly so cute
That last bit was so wholesome 😭😭😊
An underrated pair!!! Love these two 😍😍
Jerry is just a magnificent character. Quietly living the best life possible among all of these bosos!
*bozos
the smile Jerry/Larry/Terry/Gary gives Donna at the end when she calls him Buddy is just the best
The intro is the best part. Early in the season she calls him Gary and does a amazing gift for him
I love Donna and Garry!!!
4:03 as soon as he heard dinner 😂
I feel like Donna knew Jerry's real name but still called him Jerry because it was the norm of the office
Garry and Donna are total friendship goals.
He looked so happy when Donna said she’d order dinner
I love Donna and Gary together. I always hated how they treated him.
Super underrated friendship
This made me tear up. I loved Donna and Garry’s relationship
This is so wholesome 🥺 I love when good moments happen to whatshisface and when Donna shows how awesome she can be ✌️
Gerry is to pure
I love Donna being nice to Gerry
genuinely tearing up at the "garry" moment. donna, the loml.

I like to believe Donna and Gerry are secretly friends but didn't tell anybody.
I'm so glad p&r made an episode revolving them ☺❤ very wholesome bg characters!
She even calls him by his real name at the end. She is a great friend!
That last part got me, had to give a like.

My two favorite characters for a reason
Donna's always a real one
When donna brings fresh oranges to Gary's house it makes me feel so happy for Gary and his reaction makes me wish i had a friend like donna
Larry is just the most wholesome character around. Not what is done to him, just his lovability.
Then the 2 of them nailed the know your boo game.
This man is my happy pill he's like a kid just lovable
so wholesome
I am literally about to cry
I loved Donna! Especially the first three seasons, I think I just liked her hair in those early episodes, it was cute, suited her. ❤
Donna is so nice, and cute!
Donna is living the ✨garry experience ✨
I'd been watching Parks & Rec clips sporadically for some time now. I clicked on this video still wondering and specifically asking why the call him Garry. My question was answered within a minute and nineteen seconds.
This is why Gary Grgich is actually my favorite character in all of Parks and Recreation
Their friendship is my favorite
I cry every time Gary/Jerry/Larry becomes mayor. I love how he is perfect and the exact opposite of clumsy at home around his family.
Aw. They're total buds.
"Merry Christmas, bitches!"
🤣
this is pretty awesome...
I love how the passport was Donna's last straw. Garry probably wonders for awhile why donna just slapped him out of nowhere, if he could remember it that is😂
Tom is so the male Kelly K it's amazing
I love Donna
The most underrated friendship

Ben and Donna, real ones.
For someone who enjoys cloudy weather and the fish market. Donna is my booo😊
Garry is wearing his ring in the first scene...XD
finally someone is nice to garry he needed that
OK Donna is definitely my fav character in the show......
I feel Soo bad for Gary
He had one of my more favorite send offs during the season finale. Despite all the teasing I think the writers really did like Garry as a character.
@@MG6960 I agree
Garret is one of my TOP TEN Of all TIme characters
She enjoyed his struggle but did let him lose his passport ✨respect✨
I totally forgot these scenes! My respect for Donna has increased now. But only a bit. I still can't forgive her for doing that to Garry.
"Every time I eat more than 80 sushis I have barf"
I love Donna, she's so genuine and has a cousin named Ginuwine.
i jsut noticed he has a ring on his left hand the entire time hes trying to get the ring out...
That was his backup that he also drops
His real name is Garry I've been calling him Larry. Oh I've been making an idiot out of myself!
So we get 2 minutes of "Know Your Boo" clips which mostly feature an obnoxious Tom but you leave out the scenes with Jerry putting flyers in envelopes and Donna canceling her bath with a fireman to watch Jerry?

Because everybody needs a friend.
