This time around it was Tom who unleashed the force that cannot be controlled, so after a little guilt tripping from Leslie Tom heads to the library where the other librarians are holding a party for the insane couple. The last time Ron and Tammy II reunited it was Leslie’s fault, and Leslie had to save the day. The need to split these two up before bringing an unholy baby demon into the world is now more important than ever. And even worse, Tammy returns and they announce plans to start a family, by having sex non stop at their cabin in the woods. The video of Ron trying to talk himself out of Tammy IIs claws was bested only by cornrow-Ron’s solid and unaffected gaze at his former self. And naturally Tom thinks nothing is wrong with Ron and compliments him, naturally still embittered about the Wendi situation. So of course when everyone else is trying to convince Ron to leave Tammy II, Jerry comes in all excited, congratulates Ron, and then gives him a wedding gift. Now Jerry isn’t used very often, but when he is it is always pitch-perfect and a great addition to the group dynamics. Which brings us to the intervention scene. The gimmick of going from a sane Ron to an insane Ron with no explanation until later was a perfect transition, and filling in the holes later in the quick montage was equally amazing although far too short for my tastes. In an episode filled with unbelievably funny moments, this scene alone easily shines through as the funniest moment in the episode, and dare I say possibly the best from all Parks that we’ve seen so far. Also with the middle of his mustache missing. In the next scene we see the two in Jail, Tammy II in a wedding dress, and Ron in aforementioned cornrows and kimono. Broken and alone, a calm Ron decides to try and talk things out with Tammy II. Luckily this time around Ron was armed with a stable relationship, that is until Wendi decides to move back to Canada. Tammy II, played by Nick Offerman’s real life wife Megan Mullally, is to quote Leslie a “manipulative psychotic library book peddling sex crazed she demon.” Who has the ability to turn Ron into a similar male version of herself. The gist of the main plot is this Tom is upset at Ron dating his ex-wife, so Tom decides to date Ron’s ex-wife Tammy II in an attempt at revenge. This scene would not have been as funny in season one or two, because we really had to get to know Ron for the type of visceral reaction that I and I’m sure many of you felt. But if you have, then the idea that Duke Silver himself could have gone so off the rails elevates the comedy to a new plateau. The image of Ron in cornrows and a kimono is hilarious, regardless of whether or not you’ve seen the show. And the main reason why this episode was so funny? Because we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Ron Fucking Swanson. Not so with Parks, which has masterfully crafted a sequel to one of the funniest episodes from season two. As shows tend to go on in seasons characters tend to get overused and plots repeated. Once Leslie is recalled from City Council, Ben hires Jennifer to help Leslie find her calling in politics.Parks and Recreation rarely disappoints, but ‘Ron and Tammy II, Part Two’ was a real treat. After Leslie’s win, however, Jennifer vouches for Ben to run a senator’s re-election campaign in Washington D.C. She begins as a political opponent when Leslie runs for City Council. Regardless of all the animosity towards Leslie and Ben, one person is always on their side: Jennifer Barkley (Kathryn Hahn). The animosity from Stice towards Ben is due to Ben bankrupting the town when he was mayor at 18 years old. Simmons), the current mayor of Partridge, Minnesota. Audiences first meet Marcia (Darlene Hunt) when Leslie unknowingly marries two male penguins.Īlternatively, Ben’s opposition comes from Mayor Stice (a special guest turn from J.K. Additionally, Marcia and Marshall Langman are Pawnee’s local Christians, who are not so tolerant of Leslie’s policies. He even helped lead the recall against Leslie because she was making Pawnee a better place to live. One of the biggest thorns in Leslie’s side is City Councilperson Jeremy Jamm (Jon Glaser), Pawnee’s local dentist, who uses blackmail to get the votes he needs. Yet Leslie’s work in Pawnee is met with more opposition than praise. According to Women Deliver, when women hold political office, they have the power to change policy across all demographics.
