"Parks and Recreation" is hands down one of the best television shows out there. It's funny, it's lighthearted, and has an amazing set of characters. Here are most of the Parks and Recreation characters ranked from pretty good to very good.
Tammy Two
Ron's second ex-wife and best ex-wife, this "sewer dwelling gutter witch" does the most outrageous things to get Ron's attention, and I can't help but admire her tenacity and sociopathic tendencies.
Jerry Gergich
Don't act shocked- I know you have a sweet spot for Jerry, too. From his "fart attacks" to his daily blunders, Jerry always gives me a good laugh.
Chris Traeger
Chris can be a little annoying at times, but his general friendliness and genuine personality keep him in my top 15.
Perd Hapley
If "Lights, Camera, Perd" was a real show, I'd be its biggest fan.
Joan Callamezzo
Joan is one of the oddest journalists I've seen on TV, but she fits in pretty well with the rest of Pawnee.
Mona Lisa
She may technically be the worst, but she also has some of the most iconic lines and funniest facial expressions. "MONEY PLEASEEE!!"
Li'l Sebastian
I mean, he's a miniature horse for crying out loud.
Ann Perkins
This "rule-breaking moth" is Leslie's most loyal friend, and that's why she'll always be on the top of the list. Ann has a good head on her shoulders, and even though she gets swept up in her boyfriends' personalities from time to time, she ends up learning something about herself through every relationship.
Tom Haverford
The counterpart to Treat Yo Self, this egocentric dwarf-sized adult has an incredible fashion sense and a great life motto: "Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot."
Donna Meagle
Three words: Treat Yo Self. Donna is confident, independent, and sassy. She's a loyal friend and an overall boss.
Ben Wyatt
Ben is a sweet, sweet nerd, and it is impossible to not love him. When he was first introduced in the show, he seemed coarse and uptight, but as he got closer to Leslie, we learned that he just puts up a front and is actually a really nice guy.
Andy Dwyer
Andy/Burt Macklin/Johnny Karate is neither street smart nor book smart, but he tries really hard and that's all that matters. Not to mention, he's a lovable goof and a great husband to April.
Leslie Knope
Leslie can be overwhelming from time to time, but she does everything with the best intentions in mind, and at the end of the day, she just wants to see her loved ones happy.
April Ludgate
Aubrey Plaza, who plays April, does a good job of maintaining an expressionless face for pretty much the entire show. April's deadpan humor eventually grew on me and seeing her and Ron bonding over their mutual hate for people is heart-warming.
Ron Swanson
Ron is a 10/10. He gives great advice, he understands the value of good breakfast food, and there literally isn't anything he can't do. Also, his laugh is actually an intense giggle and it's the funniest thing on the entire show.
