Parks and recreations was a show like no other! It had quirky storylines and was full of funny laugh-out-loud scenes and dialogue. It gave us seven seasons of unforgettable moments and even some tear jerker moments too. The show has been over for a while now but some of those hilarious quotes and scenes from over the years are just to good to let them be forgotten. I wish I could share them all but for now here are some of my favorite ones.

* “I’m not crying, okay? I’m just allergic to jerks” – Andy
* “Strippers do nothing for me. I like a strong salt-of-the-earth, self-possessed woman at the top of her field, your Steffi Graf’s, Sheryl Swoopes’s, but I will take a free breakfast buffet anytime, any place” – Ron

* “Pawnee is the opposite of hip. People in this town are just now getting into Nirvana. I don’t have the heart to tell them what’s going to happen to Kurt Cobain in 1994” – Tom

I know there are many others that I have forgotten, so in the comments please let me know your favorite Parks and recs quotes or scenes. If you haven’t got a chance to see the show yet, then I can’t recommend a better show especially if you a comedy fan. You can watch all seven seasons on Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Trust me it will be worth it! If you don’t feel like giving them all a try, then at least give this episode a watch. It’s one of my favorite episodes and the one that sealed the deal for me. It’s on season 2, episode 10 called “Hunting trip”.
