Jerry was a great slow-burn home because you really start to feel bad about him, and then it turns out he's happier than anyone else in the show

Jerry sacrificed himself to work at a place that mistreated him just so he could provide the best possible life for his family. Absolute king. 👑

"I didn't achieve my work goals, but I don't care. Because the best part of work for me was that I got to be home with my family every day by 5" *ABSOLUTE KING*

The bit where his wife and daughters look exactly the same as thirty years earlier on his 100th birthday is absolutely perfect.

fun fact: the actors on parks and recreation felt bad about making fun of jerry on the show so often, that they insisted jerry gets an amazing wife and family

I'm guessing Jerry was actually an amazing mayor considering he's not corrupted or amoral like a lot of politicians, he was probably a breath of fresh air.

I love the fact that Garry was first officially elected because of a WRITE IN campaign. He wasn't even on the ballot but he was so beloved by the town they all demanded he be allowed to remain mayor.

The introduction of Jerry's family was a stroke of genius. To show that he has such a great life, countering what happens in the office, was beautiful.

This was the only time Leslie's positivity was outmatched

I just realized, Garry won by a write in. The whole town, but his friends, knew his correct name.

I love how they change the lighting whenever they show Garry's family. it's like how they warm up and brighten the lighting when showing elves in lord of the rings. it makes it look unreal and ethereal, so it totally outshines everything else.

The fact that Chris of all people couldn’t find a reason why Jerry has a beautiful wife and family is actually hilarious

Apparently the actress who played Gale is almost ten years older than Jim Oheir (Jerry) my mind is blown

I wish there were a scene between Gale and Ben where Ben just sneaks in a bunch of random words in a conversation to see if Gale would wake up from the hypnosis

I still always love how Brandi Maxx is an adult film star who casually rises into politics and everyone in town is totally fine with it but people were upset about seniors being told about condoms.

The look on Ben's face when he is first introduced to Gale is priceless. The disbelief and confusion are hysterical.

I love that Jerry is basically the star of his own 50s style sitcom.

His family are basically Golden retrievers.

Ok, but I honestly love the friendship between Jerry and Donna. Yeah, Donna teases him, but she also shows respect for him and doesn’t exclude him from anything. Plus it was cool she got people to call him his real name in the end

I have met Jim O’Heir at a convention, and I can tell you, everything you hear about them giving him a perfect family life in the show because he’s so nice in real life? 100% true. He is without a doubt one of the nicest, not just celebrities, but people you will ever meet

the best part for me is when he caught the coffee mug ... it begs the question, is it all an act to make his co workers feel better about themselves?

I like how we saw subtle times Donna was a great friend to Garry and looked out for him.

I love the scene with Gary talking to the maintenance worker on the phone while he was interim mayor because it shows exactly why he kept getting elected. He speaks to everyone with the utmost kindness and respect, and everyone wanted to keep him around.

Leslie been out-leslie by Jerry’s family is just priceless.

I was distracted by *T H E L A R G E S T P E N I S I H A V E E V E R S E E N*

the makers always compensated jerry for all the fun that was made of him, i really like that.

i love how the show incrementally started treating him better. in the later seasons he doesnt really seem to mind to be the butt of the joke, just happy to be included. and the fact that he has a loving and stable home life just added to the sweetness

His family reveal was one of my favourite twists on this show. The audience laughed at his mishaps but you couldn’t help but feel bad over time. Finding out what he was going home to felt like redemption :’)

Can we address how randomly talented Jerry is? He’s an insane pianist and artist. Not to mention that he randomly has a perfect family. I always hated how much disrespect he got.

He’s a kind gentleman, an excellent painter, a good friend, a grateful family man and an relatable person. I totally get why Gale loves him. What a nice guy. Gerry/Terry(?)/Garry really got the happiest ending.

Jerry's character made me look at my coworkers differently. he's like surrounded by these people that live for the job. they marry each other, go to each other's parties and plan events and daytrips together and basically live their entire lives in this group. and they all seem to look down on Jerry for not successfully doing the same. and then he's got this whole other life where he vacations to the next town over with his happy loving family, gets to explore his artistic and creative side with hobbies like painting and playing piano etc. has enough self love to take bubble baths and take time for himself. I always heard this phrase at jobs I worked, "he/she isn't gonna make it here" suggesting the new hire doesn't have the right attitude/skillset to successfully work until retirement at a job. it never occurred to me how that implied a failure on the employees part for doing anything else. for taking a better job elsewhere even. and it makes you not question the worth of a company, but places the burden of assimilation and symbiosis strictly on each individual employee. "making it" is such a crummy idea. now when I see coworkers that don't seem to live for their job, don't invest in gossip and politics and don't enrage themselves with the petty injustices of the workplace, I see someone who's time isn't predominately occupied by the job they do. their focus is on what they do when they leave the job. I love that. I'm becoming a bit more of a Jerry now and I'm happier, even though coworkers seem to feel sorry for me or look down on me for not wanting to hang out with them, and not getting involved with workplace dramatics.

Leslie at the breakfast table is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series. *confused smiling* "Where am I?"

I have a theory that Jerry acts like a fool on purpose so he wouldn't go too far in life. He wants to spend more time with his family and be with them until he dies. Hence he acts like an incompetent, clumsy fool in public while he does really well at home. And in Season 7, once all his daughters are grown up and moved out, (I am assuming his youngest was 16 in Season 2) he finally took on the role of the mayor and did an excellent job as he kept getting reelected until he was 100.

I’m so glad they gave Jerry a happy life because the running gag of everyone hating him started to get old really fast. Also I never understood why Leslie treated him poorly when it doesn’t fit with her character at all

He was mocked by his coworkers and they didnt understand how he had such a happy family life and a beautiful wife. But to find someone like him is very rare, his wife was smart to chose such a good loving family man, who worked everyday and loved his family. I love how they wrote his life, it was kind of a slap in the face of everyone who made fun of him, like "whos laughing now?" he is the one having a great time and a great life.

I know the most replayed moment is from Garry's funeral, but my favorite moment is just how happy he is that people are going to call him by his real name. Not an ounce of malice, just joy.

How Leslie sees the Gergichs is how the rest of the world sees Leslie.

I love how both his wives and daughters never aged while their husbands have

Imagine being married to someone as kind and loving as Gary 🥺

I like the subtle part about Leslie almost dropping a coffee cup at his house, something usually associated with Jerry. This, along with scenes where Jerry has produced some truly talented art at the workplace before, imply that Jerry isn't actually a klutz by nature, but perhaps rather he feels psyched out at work because of all the mistreatment he gets and is thus more likely to slip up. At his home, this is gone, so he's coordinated and in control, whilst Leslie feels off her game in that setting. It paints this idea Jerry was always a great, talented guy, but how much bad influences can hold someone back.

I think it’s funny how the colors and filter is brighter when they’re at Jerry’s

I like the fact that Ron is drinking out of a flask as Jerry floats away in the hot air balloon upon his confirmation as mayor. It's like Ron understands how capable Jerry actually is, and that his success as mayor will never allow Ron to achieve his ultimate goal of dismantling the government from within.

Jerry is simply a better person than all the rest of them. He's positive. He's kind. He's happy. They can't understand Jerry's situation because misery loves company, they're jealous, and maybe a little narcissistic.

I lost it when he gracefully caught a mug at his house and Leslie was absolutely flabbergasted

Theory: Jerry used to look like Chris and Gail fell in love so when he got big she didn’t care what he looked like cuz she was happy and he treats her good.

Who would t want to marry Jerry he’s a kind and happy guy and treats his family nice, not to mention he is PACKIN

It's funny, how everyone is so surprised at Jerry having a good life, beautiful wife and daughters. He's very a talented artist, pianist, an inventor, and in the episode anniversaries, we see how amazing he is at being romantic and a good dancer. Also if you've seen a picture of him when he was young, he was pretty cute.

I’ll never understand why they made fun of jerry. He is so sweet and deserves the world. ❤️

I love when Leslie goes to his house for breakfast. Her makeup and hair change from the door to the table, almost as if once you enter his house, your true beauty comes out.

I love how ben just doesn’t get jerry having a hot wife and how pawnee loves lil sebastain

Well given Jerry's personality and "medical condition" I can think it's completely justifiable that his wife is always so happy and positive

My theory is that Gale is a goddess, so she doesn’t age.

"If I say nutmeg, will she wake up and start screaming?"

He is too adorable for words. Some day I want to give Garry a big giant hug for bringing me so much happiness.

I don’t blame Ben for being so perturbed, their cult-like happiness is kinda creepy. Like, wholesomely creepy.

Garry Gergich • Best friend was Donna • His wife is Swedish levels of 10/10 attractive • Wonderful family • Unwavering positivity • Re-elected to mayor like 30 times • Lived 100 years • Had the Patience of Father Time himself • Apparently had a distractingly large dong

I love how Ben is so obsessed about the whole Jerry/Gale situation while everybody else is just like ''yeah its weird, but whatever''

Jerry is a treasure. He never got mad at anyone for anything cause he knew at the end of the day he had a perfect life

i like how gayle hasnt aged even when garry was 100 yrs old

I love jerry. He is the most loveable character on the show. He lived and died happy.

He was one of the low key best characters in the show, everyone at work messed with him but his family and artistry was unmatched. It’s unreal how it felt like he just bumbled in life until his kids were grown and then bam, successful politician once his kids didn’t need raising and nurturing any further.

I have the "Eggs, Bacon, & Toast" song playing my head everytime I go our for breakfast..;)

In a show filled with generally good and likeable people - not perfect by any means - I loved both how the bullying of Gerry was a constant reminder of the dangers of group behaviour, and I loved, even more, how Gerry was basically impervious to it. Gerry is a person of true confidence, someone who is so confident in themself that they can allow others to see them as weak

fun fact: in real life gayle is 8 years older than jerry

I love the shot at 6:22 of Ron standing in front of a chilled bottle of champagne holding an open flask

Love the wink Donna gives him when they are shouting out “Gary”

are we not going to acknowledge how Brandi was filming at least 15 films a day for those two years

Gary is my favorite character in parks and recreations, he is so humble, joyful and a blissful soul.

"There's no logical explanation" There is. Gale is a good person who ignores looks for personality, and loves Jerry for who he is... . . That, and he's rearranging her insides with that massive weapon he's brandishing.

I love how happy Jerry is, the fact that he’s the happiest person in the show is guck heartwarming

I love the fact that he's actually better at scrap-booking than Leslie.

3:30 Jerry worked at the parks department for 40 years and only had 4 pages worth of good memories in all that time, but still never held it against his colleagues and had an amazing home life. We should all aspire to be like Jerry.

7:09 - the way Jerry says "I'm flying" always gets me. So much pure happiness, I love it.

4:20 is a solid example of what I never understood about Gary’s character. Leslie is so openly stunned by how a man, in the company of people who outward show him love and kindness, can be calm and confident even though he’s an anxious mess in the company of people who treat him with open contempt. How is that such a head scratcher for a woman who generally is great at seeing what her coworkers need?🤨

So glad the writers put him in the happiest family life out of everyone. It was said they felt guilty about Jerry constantly being the butt of jokes.

Donna is a real friend. I'm glad at least one person had his back at work. She was the kindest overall anyway.

“I’ve thought about it a lot there’s no logical explanation”

9:16 can we just talk about how happy he looks here? They gave him such an amazing send off.

Donna is the best friend that Gary needed.

Everyone mentioning dr. Harris, but i also remember jerry saying that he used to look like chris when he was younger lmao

I just love how his wife never ages

2:53 It takes a LOT to top Leslie's peppy social enthusiasm.The Gerchiches just out-Leslie-Knoped Leslie Knope. "...Is this how my coworkers feel around me...?"

Remember that one episode when Chris said that the superhuman who will be able live for more that a hundred years was already born and he thought it was him. Yeah... I think that person is Gale

Well, Donna and Garry are the cutest friends ever and I am definitely not crying right now because this entire video was so sweet!

This is what it's like for unhappy/stressed people when they meet truly happy/grateful people

This makes Jerry a self-confidence king for taking all that abuse and turning the other cheek because he knew how sweet his life was.

I really like how Donna enjoys and embraces Jerry

I must say, it makes me happy seeing Gary/Larry/Terry/Jerry happy.

Jerry is the one character in the office who has truly won at life.

Loved to see Jerry and Donna’s friendship, it’s so unexpected and sweet. ❤❤❤

Ben looking at the camera never gets old.

Ben trying to figure out why Gale is with Jerry when the answer is at 00:08

Having Gary’s end be so happy and Donna becoming so kind to him, really is sweet and makes me cry.

Jerry reminds me of my old mormon neighbors. Super nice with a picturesque family. Shout out to Tony in Lancaster, CA!

There should have been an entire episode dedicated to Ben's various theories about Gayle!

Gary is the most heartwarming character on TV

4:29 I know it’s a comedy show, but he’s absolutely right. Work life balance is something we sometimes forget.

"After 30 years, my coworkers are finally gonna call me by my real name. I'm Blessed."

I know this is about garry but all I can think about is the fact that if you run the math in order to star in 11000 adult films in 2 years Brandi Max would need to produce 15 videos a day with no holidays
