@@gajayjay None of the generations have a potential to change anything. It's all a joke, a con, or a scam, if you will.

It's the same shit, just people think they are so much different. This 'capitalistic pigs', when young, wanted to create - most commonly - socialist Utopia. Just like today, among young people in Western world, most want to build this world of justice and equality through redistribution of wealth. It's the same thing. They don't realize, that they are in fact used to extend the influence and power of state and in turn those that control the government.

In 30 years, kids will say that millenials or whatever this generation is called were idiots, who only created even worst world. They will also fail to realize they are just used to support some new agenda that will end up fucking everything up even more.

Dionne Agnes went to a town hall meeting for my city and this was mentioned but it was a soccer field. Lady brought this up with all the seriousness in the world.
ANTHONY CLARK that's just sad...
We had a woman at a council meeting who was heavily opposed to him building a third convenience store in our town due to solely being born in Mexico...
Where's the lie
Daniel white people play basketball too
1:34
Idiotic Woman: Oh sir there’s a sign at ramset park that says don’t drink the water, so NATURALLY I MADE tea with it.
Ron Swanson: You’ve gotta be kidding me
3:45 "We could all have been wiped out from disease or the flu."
Greetings from 2020
1:32 is the best. The was she starts to jog around the desk is hilarious.
StretchyPlays the complaint itself is my favorite
"Can I have your email address? I just got on AOL"
this coupled with the fact that they still used Altavista really showed how behind the times they were lol
I’m still laughing 😂🤣😂
Whats an aol?
The people in Pawnee just got in to Nirvana. I don’t have the heart to tell them what happens to Kurt Cobain in 1994.
Can someone please tell me who this guy is
This guy predict Coronavirus at 3:40?
“I made this in your pottery class”
“It’s Terrible!!!”
I love absolutely every one of the extras they get to play the people in Pawnee. Everyone of them is so perfectly stupid and argumentative it's frighteningly believable and hilarious.
"He can FLY!"
Its also the way he is saying it. Has me cracking every damn time 😂
Who's here after the Florida masks meeting
You tellin me this ISNT the Florida mask meeting?
The Laura Linney line is possibly my favorite quote from the entire series
1:32 rings so, so true for anyone that has ever worked in a customer/public facing job. "You told me not to do the thing, so I did the thing and a bad thing happened and now I'm going to blame you for the bad thing"
"MY BIRD IS MISSING! I need a permit to post signs"
"let me just look for that form..."
"THERE'S NO TIME! HE CAN FLAH"
“I’m not worried about the swine flu, I’ve already got the swine flu I’m worried about turtle flu!”
“Turtle flu?”
“turtle flu.”
Easily the best (next to the guy worried about his bird and the other guy who wants to sit more).
This show was ahead of its time
'Her daughter is an idiot'
Hector Gonzalez except for turnip except for turnip
harris aziz topless park
Reality is such a good inspiration lol👍🏻
I guess this is not too far from the real deal.
Alejandro Medina probably so
“I found a sandwich in one of your parks, and I want to know why it didn’t have mayonnaise!”
I don't know why but when the lady in pink starts jogging around Ron's circular desk as he spins away was one of my favorite moments of the show. I loved her in every cameo she did!
"Give me your email address, I just got AOL" hahahahaha I swear the writers for this show are geniuses.
Can you please tell me who this actor is?
@@s0larsystemwolf no clue, sorry bro.
@@s0larsystemwolf I might be wrong but I think it’s Brendan Hunt (who now plays Coach Bears on Ted Lasso)
“ I don’t know.. I’m just scared.” The mood for 2018
Make that 2020
“People caring loudly at me”
The guy about the fences and the income tax is Mike Scully, the executive producer. He also used to work on The Simpsons, and hearing him on the commentaries, hes a riot.
He also collects stuffed pigs from famous movies lol. Hamuel Jackson from Pork Fiction
@@letimoore That’s awesome
"KEEP THEM IN MY HOUSE?! WHERE I LIVE?!"
the horror
3:42 Everyone right now
All the anti-mask people be like
Wow. Way off there.
@@christmasbenoit9336 They are a needless at most, and/or an exaggeration
@@Chino56751 I love how you just read "anti-mask" and you just thought "hmm OK this is my place"
Agent Washington great where is your proof please link it and let everyone know what research says masks are ineffective
@@Chino56751
"Let's all wear a mask and do our part." Virus rates go down.
"Masks don't work! We're not wearing them anymore!" Virus rates go up.
"I don't care! It's a hoax and I"m going to cough on people who tell me to put the mask back on!" Virus rates skyrocket to record levels.
Reality is literally proving you wrong with every new day that dawns.
THERE'S NO TIME. HE CAN FLY.
Where the Hell is Harris wanting to open a 'topless park'?
Tyler Durden It's in the Pawnee Animal Control compilation.
“What am I supposed to do with my kids all day? Keep them inside in my house?? Where I live?” 😂
They found some impressive extras for these roles, they deliver their lines so perfectly.
Parks and Recreation does an accurate representation of voters and especially the voters that get engaged in local politics.
I hate people.
Visfen "I hate people" Hi, April
You & me both mate!
"if the government is shut down, then who is gonna stop al qaeda?" lmfao
That guy talking about us being wiped out by the flu was on some real shit.
First time I saw the pottery thing, it just flat out broke me. Caught me completely off guard. I think I laughed for 10 full minutes, and in the days after I kept coming back to it. It would crack me up every time. I watch it now years later and it still kinda gets me for some reason
lmao! "I found a sandwich in one of your parks and I want to know why it didn't have mayonnaise?" lmao! these people are a trip!
If you work with the public, you know this is no exaggeration. I have far crazier stories than this, but in the end, I love it and I love my job.
Brenda Rodriguez relly... can u give an example. cuz I was curious if this was true... pity civil servants... you get shit on by people... and then round two by libertarians.
people caring loudly at me: "keep them in my house... where I live?!?!"
3:45 The prophet nobody listened to
MAKE ME BOB
SHUT UP KELLY
"what am i suppose to do with my kids, keep them at my house" WTF
Where she lives?!
3:47 that hits different
3:23 "So your department banned me from attending games for yelling 'you suck' at the players."
"According to the complaint, you yelled it at five year old girls."
"Who SUCK! _Why_ is that so hard to _understand_ ??!!!"
I laughed so hard. I don't know why i was expecting him to see reason when Ron pointed out the age of the players.
Sen 'I'm not always up in arms about SOMETHING!'
THERE'S NO TIME. HE CAN FLY!
