I really like when people make supercuts of Ron Swanson, for a few reasons. First of all, he is one of the more fascinating television characters of the past five or so years, so I will gladly take all of the Swanson-related content I can get my hands on, especially between seasons of the show. Another reason is that his tendency to deliver short, funny statements that sum up his worldview translates very well to the supercut format, because you can smush like a dozen of them together and voilà Internet gold.
But the main reason I like when people make supercuts of Ron Swanson is that sometimes there is absolutely dick-all going on in the television world and I really don’t feel like writing about Randy Jackson blabbering about Idol or Lena Dunham getting a haircut, so it’s nice to be able to plop a video like this in a draft, click publish, and then move along to something else, knowing that the post will get a bunch of traffic no matter what I write in the text box, whether it be an explanation of the video itself, 400 words about why I think robot butlers are just too risky at this point (I mean, what if they malfunction and rig the microwave to, like, shoot lasers or something?), or a couple meta-ass run-on sentences about how I decide what to post about.
They’re kind of heroic in that way.



It’s really cruel of you to post this right after lunch, Danger.
Now I can’t concentrate because I want a steak.
I almost called it a “suppercut.” Get it? Because food.
I like it.
How has Jimmy Dean not contacted this man for a celebrity endorsement?
I went to Germany last week, which is basically an entire country that eats like a Swanson. Seriously, at one restaurant chicken was considered a vegetarian option.
Wait, we’re expected to buy a robot butler and a microwave? Isn’t there some sort of 2-in-1 I can buy?
I could have done without the hip hop remix. I’m sure Swanson would not approve.
Also, they failed to include my favorite, which is Swanson going to town on a strip club breakfast buffet. All said, I want three minutes of my life back.
NBC did a better one. Plus the random chops make me wanna vote for Phillip Banks.
I noticed something — Ron says his third-favorite food is shrimp, and yet in another episode, he said that he doesn’t eat fish because it’s practically a vegetable (which seems like it’d apply to shrimp, too). And also, that would mean that either steak or eggs would have to be fourth, which seems wrong. I DEMAND A RETCON NEXT SEASON!
