The show "Parks and Recreation" is a true treasure. Every character makes you fall in love with them with each episode. Since I just finished watching all of the seasons for a second time, I figured I would rank my favorites!
1. Li'l Sebastian
Li'l Sebastian is a town hero, and rightly so. His cute, miniature stature made it particularly difficult for me when I found out he had passed away. Li'l Sebastian, you're 5,000 candles in the wind. RIP.
2. Leslie Knope
Leslie has got to be the most driven and motivated person on this planet. What I would do for some of her energy during finals week! She is the best gift giver, speech maker, friend, colleague, and person.
3. Tom Haverford
If there is one person I relate most to on this show, it is Tom Haverford. Tom is great because he never gives up on his dreams: Entertainment 720 and Tom's Bistro. He also uses the word "swag" about five times an episode but can somehow pull it off.
4. Ron Swanson
Ron's tough demeanor on the outside might fool strangers, but his friends know that inside his sawdust-covered body is a sweet, lovable man who caves easily to women named Tammy.
5. Andy Dwyer
Maybe it is because he is played by Chris Pratt, but Andy is awesome. He is like a child in a man's body. And even though he and April Ludgate are complete opposites, they are the perfect couple. Long live Mouse Rat!
6. Jean-Ralphio
Jean-Ralphio is super annoying, but I am always highly entertained when he speaks. He makes me want to sing everything, especially "the wooooorst." I can just hear him say it in my head.
7. Ben Wyatt
There is no denying that Ben is very cute, nerdy, and every girl's dream. Leslie and Ben's relationship is #goals. Ben's love of calzones and claymation is just adorable. I like you, and I love you, Ben.
8. Craig Middlebrooks
Although Craig doesn't appear that much, I still love him. He is annoying but so passionate about everything. I like to imagine that if Leslie and Jean-Ralphio had a child, it would be Craig.
9. Donna Meagle
Donna is the definition of sass. No one loves their Benz more than this woman. Donna and Tom also created "Treat Yo Self," which has turned me into a shopaholic, but thank you.
10. April Ludgate
April is evil on the outside, but inside she loves dogs. So, I love her. You can always trust her to say something creepy and gross. She is amazing.
11. Jerry/Garry/Larry/Terry Gergich
Jerry/Garry/Terry/Larry is fascinating to watch. Not because he always messes something up, and he is the butt of every joke, but because his wife is so out of his league. I know they mention it a lot in the show, but some nights it will just keep me up thinking about it.
12. Chris Traeger
Every time I take a vitamin I think of Chris Traeger. He is so healthy and enthusiastic about everything it actually makes me tired to watch him.
13. Ann Perkins
I know Leslie would kill me for saying this, but Ann is my least favorite character in the show. I just feel like she never really brought anything to it, and when she moved to Michigan, I was kinda glad.
Every single character of "Parks and Recreation" rocks in their own way. I want to erase my memory and watch all the episodes all over again because this show is amazing.
