Not many sitcoms can smartly execute an episode built around its characters getting drunk, but “Parks and Recreation” knocked it out of the… stadium with last night’s “The Fight.” I’m perfectly aware that Warming Glow readers would get their torches and pitchforks if I didn’t post the animated GIF of Ron Swanson dancing, so here you are. I’d also like to laud the cast for the hangover scenes that followed their night of drinking Snake Juice. In particular, I enjoyed Chris Pratt surprise vomit and Rashida Jones’s professional demeanor despite wearing her sweater inside out (and backwards). Hooray, drinking!
While you’re dancing along with Ron Swanson, here’s a bonus GIF of Rob Lowe playing some air banjo, courtesy of commenter Chet Manley:
UPDATE: And one more…

It’s so…hypnotic
They should just give this entire cast an Emmy.
April as Janet Snakehole was pretty great, too.

My heart started doing the same dance after watching that. And it’s up on Hulu. I’m not saying I’ve watched it 20 times so far, but I’m not not saying that.
Anytime you can give a little girl a claymore landmine and make it funny, you have a great show.
“Son, a recommendation from me is practically a guarantee.”
Love this. A thousand times Love this.
Kyle,
I just want to thank you for brining that into my life.
It’s pretty amazing how much of a leap this show has made in between each season. I almost look forward to it more than Community.
I recall complaints of too much “Community” last season, so I’ll get the ball rolling by saying there’s a bit too much “Parks and Rec” this year. I’m not saying hyperbolic praise makes me hate shows, but it makes me hate shows. Nonetheless, that is a GREAT Ron Swanson GIF.
Rob Lowe is the world’s greatest artist…in gif form.
Between the air banjo and his dancing on the wedding episode, there is little room for debate.
I’m glad Rob Lowe is getting recognition for his comic chops. He was brilliant as young Robert Wagner in the Austin Powers movie and his portrayal of Shaggy on SNL is the definitive one. Suck it, Lillard!
@John Doe: Great feedback. Thanks. “Stop posting about this show so much, but thank you for posting about it.”
Seriously, that comment was so valuable to me. I’m glad you took the time to share your thoughts.
its a 140 proof which means 70% alcohol, but don’t worry there is enough caffeine in there to keep you goin
@Matt, I’m an enigma wrapped in a douchebag.
A Chris/Ron dance off will surely save the rec center!
First time April has made me laugh. And Ron’s gift of a Claymore was the icing on the cake.
YES! YES! and of course YES!!! I’m hooked on this show like a baby monkey clinging to the mom monkey swinging through the jungle! I’ve been watching season 1 & 2 repeatedly on Netflix and now with the power of the interwebs, I am mixing in season 3 as it happens.
Also, I would like to hug Leslie…and Ann…and maybe Donna
Literally the second I saw Swanson dancing I felt it in my taint that there would be a .gif up here first thing in the morning. Matt, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
I wonder how many people are going to try to make Snake Juice this weekend?
Didn’t Matt promise a better turkey burger than the one Eater made? Maybe you should make some Snake Juice to wash it down.
I just want to say Thank You because that Ron Swanson GIF has made my life better.
one of the best episodes of the show. had me laughing like crazy. Especially the JEAN-RALPHIO rhymes!
We replayed this scene at dozen times this weekend and laughed with each one! HYSTERICAL!
Nick was robbed! He should have been nominated! And he should win this award! He deserves it!!! WHY???
Did Al just say “copacetic”?
