[tps_title]Alejandra’s Favorite Parks and Rec Scene[/tps_title]
Ron pulling his tooth out in the conference room
Some of my favorite scenes are the ones when the whole cast comes together. It is here when the viewer gets to witness the incredible chemistry between the actors. Along with it being one of my favorite scenes from the series, it also happens to be one of my top Ron Swanson moments. We all know Ron Swanson is a tough guy. He only eats meat, he shops at Food ‘n Stuff, and he builds his own furniture. He also enjoys knowing that people perceive him as the tough guy, and every so often that perception needs to be reaffirmed. In this specific moment, we see Ron physically reminding everyone just how tough he is.
They’re having the usual conference room meeting when Ron starts grunting and groaning about a toothache. Ben suggests a visit to the dentist. However, Ron Swanson doesn’t do dentists. He is too tough for them. So instead, he opts for a pair of pliers to do the job. What is great about this moment is that everyone is perfectly revealed as he’s pulling out his tooth. Ben is the first one to dash out of the room, Donna, in all her attitude, curses, April, fascinated, looks on, and poor Tom faints at the sight. Ron eventually lets us in on the secret: The dentist actually pulled the tooth out yesterday, but this was his chance to reinforce his toughness to the others. Classic Ron.
