[Music]
sir-sir are are you are you are you
listening to me sir so I’m talking to
you prepare to treat yourself welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 moments
from Parks and Recreation you know what
I’ll help you set up a profile would be
fun all right I was gonna take it I’m
glad the Builder oh it’s not yeah
for this list we’ll be looking at scenes
from the seven memorable seasons of
Parks and Recreation that had our sides
hurting with laughter hearts melting
with emotion and sometimes a little bit
of both if even one of you thinks about
drying even in my car you’re all walking
home number 10 Leslie finally meet Joe
Biden I said how did how did you do this
call in a few favors excuse me girls
growing up in the 80s may have idolized
the likes of David Hasselhoff or
Harrison Ford but not Leslie her heroes
and at times erotic fantasies are far
more likely to be on Capitol Hill than
the Hollywood Hills and one
silver-haired foxes stood out above the
rest of his nope as the gold standard
for men you must be Leslie no welcome
Mike my name just came out of your mouth
well yeah it is
salut thanks to her dutiful husband
lovely gets a brief chance to interact
with Vice President Joe Biden and
viewers get the opportunity to laugh at
her bewilderment the reason you’re here
is I’m told you’ve done such a great job
in your town in the state of Indiana and
I just want to say congratulations for
your public service I just want to say
thank you well you’re very welcome
you’re very well she speaks just
slightly too loudly and answers just a
little too quickly when spoken to and
several seasons have built up love for
Joe pay off in this one hilarious scene
you don’t let anything happen to him you
understand me he is precious card number
nine Tom’s food list certs are what I
call desserts tray trays are entrees I
call sandwiches sammies sandals or Adam
Sandler’s if Tom Haverford’s personality
were boiled down to one word it would be
eccentric pessimists see their glass is
half-empty optimist see it is half-full
and Todd just wonders why it contains
boring old water instead of super water
I call eggs pre Birds or future Birds
root beer is super water tortillas are
being blankies and I call Forks food
rakes
these bursts of eccentricity are not
uncommon for Tom but here were given a
special treat with a long cut of goofy
names he gives food the glow in Tom’s
eyes as he informs the audience of each
quote-unquote brilliant nickname is
priceless I call cakes big old cookies I
call noodles long-ass rice fried chicken
is fry fried chicken chicken the
comedian’s that bring the Parks and Rec
characters to life are all brilliant but
we got to give a special not in this
case well done Aziz yeah you can get as
many dirts as you want well let’s get in
my goggle mobile car number eight Leslie
knope’s debate finishing statement and
Leslie Knope closing statement I am very
angry upon revisiting season one of
Parks and Recreation it’s truly amazing
to see how multi-dimensional the show’s
characters have become Leslie in
particular has been fleshed out as
strong intelligent and overwhelmingly
passionate about public service
corporations are not allowed to dictate
what a city needs that power belongs to
the people
Bobby Newport and his daddy would like
you to think it belongs to them one of
the most trying periods of the series
for her however was the road to City
Council which reached a breaking point
when Bobby Newport held the town hostage
with threats to take his business
elsewhere if not elected as your city
councilor I will make sure that no one
takes advantage of Pawnee if I seem too
passionate it’s because I care if I come
on strong it’s because I feel strongly
and if I push too hard it’s because
things aren’t moving fast enough in a
time where passionate women are labeled
overbearing far too often Leslie and by
extension Amy Poehler stressed the
passion that drives her message and
relentless work and this is why she’s
the champion of the
Department and the show as a whole this
is my home you are my family and I
promise you I’m not going anywhere
holy Leslie that was awesome
number seven elderly sex ed oh can
everyone hear me okay okay great I’m
Councilwoman Mary know Parks and
Recreation knows how to be sentimental
one moment and dive into the finer
points of intercourse for elderly folks
the next I know this is a personal
question but how many of you out there
are sexually active oh my I have two
partners often at the same time as this
scene suggests senior citizen sexual
engagement is a very real thing does
anyone know what we risk when we have
unprotected sex heart attack a lot of
guys on top of you apparently one of the
writers decided this phenomenon was a
great niche topic to exploit during the
sex education episode of the series
these old people really have sex with
each other
yeah which isn’t their doing like I was
just talking about it we’re sorry for
anyone who made the mistake of watching
this episode with their parents but for
everyone else this was a hilarious treat
that for better or worse was forever
more ingrained in our minds best way to
prevent them is to use protection well
that’s all fine and good but what if the
banana is soft and mushy and doglegs
sharply to the left
Oh number six Tom and John Ralphie oh
give a tour of entertainment720 there
was no one on the other end of that
phone call but soon there will be
welcome to the Dreamatorium aka the
headquarters of entertainment720
as we’ve established Tom Haverford has a
tendency towards eccentricity and his
business ventures flash complete
disaster with John Ralphie Oh perfectly
exemplifies this pool table a ping-pong
table a lounge area of chop for the
ceiling on it in-house DJ DJ look and
best of all former NBA superstar Detlef
Schrempf is on retainer
their tour reads like a Dos Equis
commercial except instead of listing off
crazy stories from their pasts if you
I’ll lists off ridiculous activities
that entertainment720 would help
accomplish
in the future why we can throw petty
cash in a clear plastic toilet bowl I
don’t know maybe because we’re blood
only one reasonable question is asked
during the entire tour shouldn’t you
focus on building your client base and
it’s answered with a simple no thanks a
lot Forbes magazine but we didn’t hire
you to give us business advice we hired
you to look for you into baskets so
aren’t yet over there do you think Tom’s
flair would eventually work for him but
in this instance it’s unrealistic
unfocused and ultimately highly amusing
first you set up the pond then you reel
in the fish
rigsy hit me come on we’re living the
dream
number 5 garth blundin Star Wars
filibuster article 7 section 3 allows
for a citizen filibuster what would a
show about government be without a mr.
Smith goes to Washington at filibuster
scene garth blundin
played by Patton Oswalt doesn’t see eye
to eye was Leslie regarding some
outdated Pawnee laws and he takes to the
city forum to stand up for what he
believes in we’d now like to share some
ideas I have for JJ Abrams 7th chapter
in the Star Wars saga pan down from the
twin suns of Tatooine we are now closed
on the mouth of the Sarlacc pit given
Oswald’s self-proclaimed obsession with
Star Wars he was given free rein to
describe his vision for Star Wars
Episode seven ending nearly nine minute
filibuster scene which we highly
recommend viewing uncut he holds the
reality gem that means he can jump from
different realities this will be our
link to the Marvel Universe from the
Star Wars universe living in a post
episode 7 world it looks like his vision
wasn’t entirely accurate but fans of
both Star Wars and Parks and Rec have
much to enjoy in this impressive rant
we’re still not sure how the extra is
behind Garth aren’t in stitches
you start by casually repealing a couple
of old laws the next thing you know your
jackbooted stormtroopers are kicking in
my door and arresting my wife for no
reason if I were married number four
treat yo’self three words for you three
yo so with what is debatably the most
quoted adage of the entire series we’re
shown that the good life should be
accessible to everyone at least for
one day a year when we treat ourselves
to clothes pretty self fragrance that
preacher self-massage it pretty samosas
treat yourself fine leather good treat
yourself it’s the best day of the year
the best fan here Donna and Tom have two
millionaire tastes on a Costco budget
but for 24 hours this does not matter to
them the prop pieces and outfits brought
in for this gag are uproarious and
over-the-top hilarious treat yourself
day is just a day where you go to the
spa and then the mall I knew you
wouldn’t get it it’s difficult not to
feel the characters Glee as they indulge
themselves again and again and again I
really want this dress and I like this
crystal beetle but it’s expensive and
there’s no use for it
Donna mEagle treat yourself culminating
and Ben Wyatt crying in a crime-fighting
costume this episode is in and of itself
its own special treat I really needed
this I get it to myself oh that man’s
crying
number three then and Leslie’s wedding
[Music]
whether it’s two star-crossed government
workers hugging deeply after a
heartwarming proposal or the impromptu
wedding it leads to Parks and Rec never
misses an opportunity to force viewers
to break out the tissues and the
spontaneous wedding that takes place and
Leslie favorite spot on the planet
insurance there’s not a dry eye in the
audience so I say let’s keep it short
and sweet yeah do it already the payoff
was five seasons in the making and
perfectly exemplifies the strong
relationships built by the central
characters in the series and then I came
here and I realized that this whole time
I was just wandering around everywhere
looking for you while Leslie and Ben’s
chemistry goes without saying their
friends pride and excitement is palpable
making this wedding experience
particularly endearing and now with the
power vested in me by the state of
Indiana I now pronounce you husband and
wife
you may now just as well
number two snake juice boy told us thank
you I’m more of a whiskey man grape
juice is another Tom Haverford
jean-ralphio exclusive guaranteed to
taste great and ensure an even better
night I know I feel so much healthier
I’ve still got a full week to go before
the bra stays hmm
free broth is an amazing stage it’s when
you’re most alert it’s oftentimes
hilarious to see friends you’ve known
for quite some time getting hammered in
a social setting and here we get to see
these on-screen comrades we’ve spent
three seasons getting to know getting
wasted on what’s basically rat poison
you don’t even know what Pig I didn’t
even say what dig in it he has to be the
whole thing and I’d even do it what I’m
like an elephant okay if I walk into a
room it’s like okay he’s in there sadly
we weren’t given a drunk Donna clip but
the others are hysterical and so on
point in particular Ron Swanson is at
his most memorable whenever he does
something that’s highly unpleasant Tom’s
the yin to his yang help extract this
allowing us to enjoy the hysteria of the
evening while skipping out on the
morning-after hangover before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions it’s 200 home here on
time yes it is I had a guy at the model
store make a replica the bigger Game of
Thrones fan and you are I worried 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 the
video shows that the pie came from a
high angle so we’re at your face like
this mm-hmm
close your eyes number one ice walking
to the platform it’s not a basketball
court anymore as an ice getting rink
wait why why what happened the art of
the cringe has been mastered in recent
years particularly by TV mockumentaries
creativity is key when it comes to
anything and that’s proven when a
campaign rally an ice rink and a
luxurious red carpet that’s just a
little too short come together to create
one of the funniest scenes
in Parks and Rec history for two minutes
we are Biraj dwith prop pieces adding to
the awkwardness alright smile away the
three-legged dogs
the ironic background music the stage
that directed far too high nothing goes
horribly wrong but nothing goes right
either awkward humor doesn’t get much
better than this and it’s hard not to
feel sorry for these fictional
characters who just can’t catch a break
between the gales of laughter that is
together we can defeat obese children do
you agree with our list I’m sorry okay
this is this is just a disaster isn’t it
which moments in Parks and Rec were your
favorite this is the most stressed out
that’s ever been for more remarkable top
