'Give a man a fish ; you feed him for a day. Don't teach a man to fish ; you feed yourself. He is a grown man ; fishing is not that hard.' - Ron Swanson
“My son is several weeks old, he’s quite familiar with the sound of power tools” I used the same philosophy with my son when I was a musician. He would fall asleep in his highchair while my band practice in my house.
It’s very clearly addressed in the show on numerous occasions. He respects Leslie for her gumption and principles. He may not agree with them at all but he would rather work with strong willed and principled people than milquetoast yes men
the last one is extra funny when you realize he is the head of the parks department he is the person you would go to in order to get a permit to slaughter a pig in a park
Ron is the kinda guy that if you asked him for a permit to slaughter a pig in a park, he call you an idiot because you asked for a permit instead of just doing it.
@en4833 most people assume the joke is 'I can do what I want (because this is america)' instead of 'I can do what I want (because I am in charge of this park)'
@@Rugmunchersauce3Tom ends up with her in the end, they do breakup not too long after that scene, but it’s because Tom is not over Wendy (his ex wife, who married him for a green card that he ended up falling for) being with Ron.
Ron immediately bonding with Typhoon over a mutual dislike of Europe (albeit with very different origins) is never going to be anything other than fantastic 😅😅
To be fair, if given the choice to do something or nothing, Ron will do nothing. But he will do something if it helps someone else do nothing. He would work all night, if it meant nothing got done
“I have a joke for you, the government in this town is excellent and uses your tax dollars efficiently” is exactly how I felt when my city turned a 4 lane road into a 2 lane and painted bike lanes and set up plastic road dividers that people just run over anyway and they keep having to send out workers to replace them. Thanks Baltimore, you’re the best.
@@drunkenmmamaster419Like the "free to do whatever you want if it doesn't harm anyone else, but government still exists and provides basic services" libertarian? Or the "big business is free to charge tolls for roads and taxes are suspended and we gotta rely on rich people and corporations for everything, and possibly Nazis in the streets and police becomes a private business" libertarian? Kind of hard to tell with some people anymore.
I just realized that when Ben tells ron about the boar that gore's him, he probably chose that particular death because he is such a GoT fan and references Robert who died gored by a boar
I would love to work for Ron Swanson. Like April, I too would get nothing done, and replace my keyboard with a griddle to make pancakes at my desk. I could do anything I want
@@StephenWest-t2vI think that’s just because he’s American and don’t know enough about Finland. Once he hears about kalsarikännit he’s booking the next flight over (getting drunk in your underwear).
I have it proudly displayed at my work station (Carpentry) with my attained boxes highlighted. I love it when people look at it in fascination. I'm getting there Ron. ❤
Despite being on the exact opposite end of the political spectrum, I relate to Ron on a spiritual level. I can think of nothing I would enjoy more than a barber who says nothing, and I have no idea how to buy gifts for people.
"Are the scissors broken in your house son?"
Gets me everytime
First clip that got me into this show 😂
Ron's hair doesn't even comply with his own rules.
@@Anonymous-sb9rr he surely sees his own as "high and tight"
@@Anonymous-sb9rrany haircut worn by Ron Swanson outranks the pyramid of greatness.
I dont have a government job so I am not quite in this league but probably 80% of his libertarianism is me 😂
“When I eat, it is the food that is scared.” Ron Swanson is my spirit animal.
Best. Line. Ever. Written
The fact that you used the term "spirit animal" means that Ron isn't your spirit animal. Lol
Once a year, before everyone's birthday, they should pilgrimage to a Ron best-of compilation and spend an hour or two.
Remember that standards and being who you are mean something.
That moment of hesitation before he physically shows his concern and affection for April when she’s upset is just ADORABLE
I think her subtle little smile implying she understands how much the apprehensive, insignificant contact actually means coming from him is what sells it, tbh.
And I love how she gives him the : it's okay to leave now nod, I'm okay
Reminds me of Sheldon. All that was missing was the "there, there"
@@nimbuscloud5175 totally
The “I can do what I want” permit gag makes me lol every time
“I know more than you.” That goes through my head every time im at Lowes
It's called Slowes
Same here 😂😂😂
I use This exact quote when someone ask me ,"are you looking for something?", response "I know more than you"
"is this not rap?"
(No, Ron. It was much better than Rap)
OH MY GOD HOW DID I NEVER KNOW THIS EXISTED BEFORE THIS VIDEO
😂😂❤❤🙌🙌
This makes me think of the Captain Holt line from Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Sounds a bit like Kaney East or whatever his name is
'Give a man a fish ; you feed him for a day.
Don't teach a man to fish ; you feed yourself.
He is a grown man ; fishing is not that hard.' - Ron Swanson
For me it's hard just because I don't like sitting still for a long time doing nothing.
@@sarahberknerskill issue
Give an African a fish, you will feed him for a day. Give him a fisher boat and he will be at your border tomorrow
@@sarahberknerthat doesn’t mean it’s hard it just means you don’t enjoy peace
"Fish is for sport only, not for fish meat.
Fish meat is practically a vegetable." - also Ron Swanson 😂
“Best friend I’ve ever had. We still never talk sometimes.” That line gets me every time 😂
Especially since that means they still talk, sometimes lol
im dying over here 🤣
One of my favorites is when he destroys a chair he was making because it was too perfect and could’ve been mistaken as machine made
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ron’s “wtf” after Tom bowls takes me out 💀
It's even better when he goes back in disguise and tries it himself 😂
“My son is several weeks old, he’s quite familiar with the sound of power tools” I used the same philosophy with my son when I was a musician. He would fall asleep in his highchair while my band practice in my house.
Me too, im a sky diver so i take my 2 week old son. It is great cos he cant even argue about doing it 👍
Someday I'll be saying this about my son and firearms
@@phil8516 😂
Still funny Ron had a conversation with Dutch Van Der Linde
@@phil8516 LOL! 😆👌
The vegan bacon bit never gets old😂
Same with the Freddy Spaghetti concert haha. Ron is so excited to hear him sing lmao
Another, please
The part where April throws a piece in the trash makes it even funnier 😂
@@drunkenmmamaster419 yeah, that's..... that's the joke.
@@drunkenmmamaster419 I wish they left that bit in
"I know what I'm about, son"
Classic.
"Your house isn't haunted. You're lonely... Next caller!"
Ron giving everyone a crisp smooth $20 bill is the exact same energy as Holt from B99 steaming his bills
To be fair... they were together at some point 😂
"I like saying No. It lowers their enthusiasm."
I still don't know how he works with Leslie, a very enthusiastic person. 😄
Leslie is that by default, they’re eachother’s foils
You ever notice how often he says no to her, to no avail?
it is because her enthusiasm will not lower that he must respect her.
It’s very clearly addressed in the show on numerous occasions. He respects Leslie for her gumption and principles. He may not agree with them at all but he would rather work with strong willed and principled people than milquetoast yes men
The more enthusiasm a person has, the more they could lose, providing ron more opportunity to do what he likes
Lucy saying “wow” gets me every time 😂
Tom almost lost her at that moment 😂
Tom would have been 0 for 2 if Ron had wanted to play.
Sploosh
the last one is extra funny when you realize he is the head of the parks department he is the person you would go to in order to get a permit to slaughter a pig in a park
You're right. Maybe that's why he had that special permit.
No... there must be some kinda mistake.
Ron is the kinda guy that if you asked him for a permit to slaughter a pig in a park, he call you an idiot because you asked for a permit instead of just doing it.
What do you mean extra funny? That’s literally the joke
@en4833 most people assume the joke is 'I can do what I want (because this is america)' instead of 'I can do what I want (because I am in charge of this park)'
@@andcrafter4790though right after it was cut off here, Ron does say "I'm the director of the parks department, and this is a park"
0:30 Lucy was definitely digging Ron for a moment there as he dug into his bacon wrapped leg
Tom lost her at that very moment, methinks. She has a beautifull upper half. I missed the bottom half but I imagine it was equally hot.
@@Rugmunchersauce3are you a psychopath? Who talks like this
I mean, what girl wouldn't?
@@Rugmunchersauce3Tom ends up with her in the end, they do breakup not too long after that scene, but it’s because Tom is not over Wendy (his ex wife, who married him for a green card that he ended up falling for) being with Ron.
Nah more like watching natgeo and seeing a lion just take a chunk out of a zebra
Ron immediately bonding with Typhoon over a mutual dislike of Europe (albeit with very different origins) is never going to be anything other than fantastic 😅😅
Terrible title. Ron does nothing progressively.
To be fair, if given the choice to do something or nothing, Ron will do nothing. But he will do something if it helps someone else do nothing. He would work all night, if it meant nothing got done
You win the Internet sir. Here you go 👑
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Change title to: Ron.
Ron is 100% the best character on Parks.
not just on Parks
You have accidentally given me the food that my food eats😂😂
😂
Is he wrong? 😂😂
I love how he became Typhoons best man.
This was great. I lost my signal in the middle of Ron saying, "I have a joke for you: The government--"
"He's a grown man. Fishing's not that hard."
Great line 😂
3:48 is such a precious moment.
The Dutch van der Linde and Ron Swanson crossover is not something I knew I needed
Ron finds his videos uploaded on a website
*Proceeds to yeet his computer in trash*
ERASE ALL PICTURES OF RON !
The age at which a person stops using the word yeet and using the word literally to emphasize a point is the age they finally achieve adulthood.
“I have a joke for you, the government in this town is excellent and uses your tax dollars efficiently” is exactly how I felt when my city turned a 4 lane road into a 2 lane and painted bike lanes and set up plastic road dividers that people just run over anyway and they keep having to send out workers to replace them. Thanks Baltimore, you’re the best.
"I'd never lose to a boar" 😤
Exactly. That boar will become pork chops, bacon, sausage, ribs, and pulled pork.
11:53
Ron's _I couldn't be more proud_ face
😭
I've seen so many clips of this show, it feels like I have actually watched it.
Fr
"People can see you, son!" I've used that line many times since I first heard it.
That “Swason” turkey leg does look yummy.😋
I love that a lot of what Ron Swanson does is what Nick Offerman does in real life.😊❤
Offerman is a liberal cuck.
You can agree with Ron or not, one thing is certain: he is confident and consistent in pursuing his goal.
What is his goal? 🤣

“Is a gerbil marrying a rabbit?”😂😂
6:09 Ron Swanson also dislikes Dutch’s plan.
He just needs some God. Damn. FAITH!
5:40 “I once work with a guy for 3 years, and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.”
I imagine he calls him from time to time and both of them says nothing
When he pulled out his tooth (prank), everybody left grossed out, except Leslie. She's his most genuine frnd.
I just realized that when Ben tells ron about the boar that gore's him, he probably chose that particular death because he is such a GoT fan and references Robert who died gored by a boar

The Tammies are certainly possessed.
Tammy #2 is his real life wife so......
"I'm just making sure nobody ever has to eat this."
Destroy the false bacon, Ron. Destroy it all.
I really like the fake tooth pull during their meeting. April was kinda into it but even she ran out. All the reactions were priceless. 😂
The vegan bacon scene is one of the most underrated moments of the show. It lives in my head rent free.
You had me at meat tornado 🌪️
It did sound delicious tho 😂
“Fish meat is practically a vegetable” 😂
"There is no silence. There is only Doc McStuffins."
This show will be legendary forever.
I love these compilations that have been coming out over the last year or so, this one is probably my favorite 🤣
I never realized until now how similar Ron Swanson and Dwight Schrute are.
Yep they would definitely be good be friends. Maybe different religions and political beliefs but still would be good friends.
Yet THERE IS ONLY ONE
RON
SWANSON !!!
ONLY ONE RON SWANSON !
False.
They are not, they're different personalities.
He is a lot more similar to Raymond Holt
11:30 “is this not rap?” 💀
I like how Andy just takes the burger partially eaten and then proceeds to finish it 😂
“I like saying no. It lowers their enthusiasm” ahaha 😂
I live by the rules of Ron Swanson and that won't change!
About most of his personality traits he's basically mocking libertarians(the actor)

"Fish meat is practically a vegetable"

“The government in this town is excellent and uses your tax dollars efficiently”. Best joke ever.
9:29 Ron is a genius.
You forgot the best one - "Does the white whale actually symbolize the unknowability and meaningless of human existence? No, it's just a sh!tty fish."
I’ll pretend like this isn’t supposed to be getting “progressively more Ron” but thanks for the Ron compilation
In the grim darkness of Ron’s domestic life, there is no silence. There is only Doc McStuffins.
Ron at hardware store: “I know more than you.”
I’ve literally said that at electronics/computer stores, but I smiled. 😂
yep.
I just think it and smile when they try to upsell to me. Very enjoyable imo.
I wouldn't necessarily say these scenes get "more Ron," but it's darn close.
Hahaha ! Yes !
I love how everyone in this show always tried to get Ron’s approval in some way really showing just how much they respect him and look up to him.
"you're literally listening to turkey calls"
"is this not rap?"
Best character in the entire series. No ifs ands or buts!
not just in this series
Ron getting along with typhoon always makes me happy
Wow right off the bat with a few bangers.
Another, please.
Can I as a Finnish person claim him as an honorary Finnish person? He’s literally the most Finnish person I have ever seen, that has not been Finnish
I knew there had to be even more reasons to love Finland
Lol😂😂😂😂
Moving to Finland🛫
Unfortunately Ron has a very specific feeling about Europe. It would take time.
@@StephenWest-t2vI think that’s just because he’s American and don’t know enough about Finland. Once he hears about kalsarikännit he’s booking the next flight over (getting drunk in your underwear).

You know the video is gonna be great when the FIRST clip is "i'm Ron f**king Swanson."

She had that tint of craziness in her soul that made her believe she could actually make a difference.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
Ron's idea of how a leader/president should be chosen is a damn well good one.
