And he was a good character, too! I don’t know how this happened, but it happened. This is absolutely insane that a character played by the funniest person in the world, Louis C.K., could be this far down the list. Walking away from Andy Dwyer and muttering “I can’t even land the shoeshine guy” was an all-timer. She was pretty, she was nice, and she was just a little too desperate to find the one. Shauna Malwae-Tweep was the stand-in for every perpetually single fan of the show. My favorite line was her looking upon the naked portrait of Newport Sr.: “Ah yes, my late husband. Her (and her dogs’) work with Ben Wyatt on the Sweetums Foundation was inspired. Jessica Wicks started out as the trophy wife of Nick Newport, Sr., but blossomed as the head of Sweetums. He didn’t always get the big laughs, but Crazy Ira and The Douche doesn’t work with the guiding hand of Crazy Ira. One half of the inimitable (just kidding, totally imitable) Crazy Ira and The Douche, Crazy Ira was more the set-up man for The Douche’s zingers. The hard-talking political consultant ran a hell of a campaign for Bobby Newport, and no, you can’t afford her. Leslie’s need for her mother’s approval faded as she got stronger as a character, and thus Marlene Griggs-Knope faded. Leslie Knope’s mother, played by Pamela Reed, was phenomenal but just didn’t get enough to do. Again, the show was still figuring things out. Wendy was Tom Haverhord’s wife because she needed a Green Card (being from Canada.) She had some memorable lines, and her character allowed us to see Tom’s sensitive side. I like Mark, but come on, this show spawned one of the great sitcom universes of all time. Mark Brendanawicz is representative of the first iteration of the show, when they were still figuring things out. Paul Schneider is the best, and his character’s failure to get any higher on this list has nothing to do with him as an actor. How could I leave out Tynnyfer?! But alas, I have like, a job, and spending my day ranking out the top 75 characters in Parks and Rec just wasn’t possible. Most of the City Council and the mayor. Champion the Dog. Every concerned citizen. The rich guy from England who loved Andy. No, this isn’t super scientific.Īnd yes, before I even get started, I know how many characters I left out. The characters are graded on A) funniness and B) importance to show. I have loved this show for a long time, and to look back, I wanted to rank the best 33 characters on the show. Parks and Recreation’s series finale is tonight.
