“Whats a not gay way to ask him to go camping with me?”
Definitely the most underrated line in the show
Just saying that gave me a semi 😂
I started scrolling specifically to find this comment lololol
And “EVERYONE HAS GAY THOUGHTS SOMETIMES”
And also one of many of Ron’s misreads of people by first impressions
Second best is "but I really like sleeping with my boss".
This proves that you can write a "will they or won't they" plot that doesn't get worse after they get together.
Agreed. The only other one that got it right was Daphne and Niles. It's like writers don't understand that every relationship has conflict to work through.
@@Awwscrewit yes! Frasier had a wonderful episode about how Niles had treated Daphne like a fantasy for so long he didn't know how to deal with the reality of her once they got together.
@@Person1865 That's one of my favorite episodes. The ending where they start pointing out each others flaws and realize those are parts of why they love each other was brilliant.
@@Awwscrewit Jim and Pam, Monica and Chandler
Actually, I don't think that rule really applies anymore. It was sort of a cautionary tale after the TV show "Moonlighting", but that was 30 years ago, and TV (and the people watching it) are very different now.
Plus, I think people today relate more to the quirks of being in a relationship with someone, as opposed to a "will they, won't they" type of thing.
Love how Ben started all mean and whatever and turned out to be a geek softball
Soft geekball
It’s so fetch!
He wasn't mean, he was realistic. He knows what poor money management can do to a town
Pls a softball 😭😭
He wasn’t even mean, just realistic, and honestly they needed someone a little blunt. I actually liked him from the start honestly~
Leslie has so much endearing Michael Scott energy, but with the added bonus of competence.
Michael Scott is very competent, but only at sales, as a manager, not so much lol
@@Goomyx1492 find the videos about michael being a great manager. He just lets them do their work without being micromanaged, unlike andy as a manager.
@@chrismccaffrey8256he is indecisive and delegates almost ALL of his responsibilities. i love mike but he really isn’t great at his job
She was incompetent season 1. Thank god they changed directions. Sorry brandanowitz
@@kaytamurray the thing is he IS really good at his job, that's why is branch don't close like all the other. Not to mention that at the dinner with Jane and the dude they have to get a deal with, he conclude an enormous deal very easily. And you see that it's not just luck, he have the situation perfectly under control. Even when Stanley shout at him, he have too play the boss and do it just well, he just don't like this at all.
Ben is the definition of "Stop being so mean to me, or I swear to God I'm gonna fall in love with you."
Nick Miller?🧐
@@celestialsilvercupcake8651 yess
From the streets of Chicago?
his uncontrollable urge to kiss her every time he feels a lot of love is so sijkasbhlkovf for me
YES
BRO IKKKKK
Probably the best romance is sitcom history. No unnecessary toxic drama, no milking of the will they won’t they until it gets old, just wholesome love.
👍
Honestly peraltiago UP there
Yeah as much as I love Pam and Jim, they dance around each other way too much for way too long, and it gets so frustrating!
@@laurenhornbuckle7003 And then even when they do get together in the later seasons there is that uncomfortable tension between them
Omg yes
The “that was Leslie Knope” always gets me
Righhhhht? Like how am I ever supposed to feel loved if it doesn't look like that??
OMG the first time I saw that episode, I really thought that she was going to totally bomb, due to being so Ill. What he stated was perfect. Leslie Knope pulled a “Leslie Knope”.
"Leslie Monster"
No. They were not enemies. Leslie's ONLY enemies are people from Eagleton and librarians. =D
And Pikitus
And Tammy 2
@@Michegrey Tammy 2 was a librarian. 😀
her enemy was herself all along
And Bobby Newport
They're such a healthy couple. Love this representation.
Honestly fr when one of them was being a pain in the butt they worked it out, like weirdos but still they worked it out
@@Royalty_girlie “like weirdos but they still worked it out” 🤣🤣
Guess they hadn't ironed out what kind of nerd Ben was gonna be yet with all those sport references about Leslie's speech
That happens a lot with characters. Jerry didn't become a sad loser until season 2. On "Big Bang Theory", the pilot made a joke about Sheldon (who was virtually non-sexual at that point) masturbating (it was a holdover from the original pilot, where he had a tryst with a nerdy female friend of theirs).
Also in the original Star Trek pilot, Spock can be seen smiling or yelling at times.
@@toddsmitts I forgot about Spock showing more emotion
And if I remember right, a lot of the characters on Parks and Rec changed a but after they found that s1 was not working, but for some reason Ben's line here makes me laugh the most with how they change him
I forgot Jerry wasn't viewed as a loser in s1. I wish they kept it, it always bothers me how the rest treat him
i mean, they did have him be a sports nerd in that one episode when they’re teaching tom basketball for rent a swag
@@lemonteacore I don't remember that ep, why are they teaching Tom basketball? That seems like more energy than Tom would put into something lol, but I've only seen the show once
@@alexandraschroeder2327 when all of the kids going to rent a swag are obsessed with basketball, andy and ben have to teach tom about basketball so he can talk to them and get them to rent the swag
"You can't just chop up the aspects of a relationship into discrete parts and select the ones you want like a buffet!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's *selfish!* Stop being obtuse."
Love that exchange so much, wish more people understood that.
that is often the thing people think could happen after relationships. i built this relationship where you built an intimacy that feels like a deep friendship and they want to hold onto it like it's separable from the romance of it all. it rarely works out that way
@@TheJensPeeters too true. this is why the only relationships turned friendships that work is when they never shouldve been a relationship in the first place (not in a toxic way)
I loved it because it maths.
It is insulting that the wallflower mural scene isn't a part of this video because that was the most important and clearest sign that these two belong together. How did THAT not make the cut 😭
I've 𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 been recommending parks and rec to my friends cause it has the best not toxic enemies to lovers relationship, at least on tv
Excuse me, I believe it’s spelled “lit’rally”
Whatever you did to the word "literally", it's hurting my eyes.
@@eileensnow6153 no no no, it's lichrally
@@scoopitywoop This is so embarrassing 😳
@@scoopitywoop agreed
Literally one of the greatest couples in all of television history. My god. They are so well written and so well acted. The way Leslie injects fun and passion into Ben, and Ben steadies and fortifies Leslie. I love them so much. They actually did the romance justice, and they didn't become stale after being a couple. In fact, their best moments are as a couple.
👍
I read all this in Chris Traeger’s voice
Love Ron disagreeing with Leslie and being filled with glee while Ben is going over the budget cuts.😂
Ben taking the fall for the ethics violation was so selfless and sweet.❤️
I remember when I first watched Parks and Rec and I saw myself as Leslie and I would think “oh I need to find my Ben”…and I’m now married to a guy called Ben who is also nerdy and a softie!
AWW
i love how leslie just makes him shut up in the middle of the proposal like honestly queen
such a material gworl ✨
and props to Ben for not being offended about it like I imagine some guys would be
Leslie’s little “uh oh…” when they kissed…so sweet❤️
Love how predictable we all are in that the most replayed section of the video is Ben and Leslie's first kiss. Glad we're all on the same page!
It was soooo smooth
10/10
Yes! I'm on that same page!
The way he snatched those receipts was just so -
We are absolutely on the same page
Ron in the first clip absolutely made it for me
His eyes were twinkling... literally twinkling.
@@cgabaldo3382 PRECISELY
Okay but when doesn’t Ron make it for you in a clip ? Ron is probably one of my favourite things ever.
@@happyjellycatsquid you got me there
I like how the enemies part is because of their work stance and the friends part stems from mutual respect. Favourite couple
Leslie and Ben have so many great tropes represented in their relationship: enemies to lovers, secret star-crossed lovers, rebellious take on the system lovers, long distance, the list goes on
That enemies part lasted a very short time, but wow their relationship😍
Also, feel like maybe there should have been Leslie & Ben interfering on Chris & Ann’s first date, cuz they were still acting like enemies there
"That's Leslie Knope"- THE moment Ben fell for her.
This is exactly what I love about Dan Goor- Michael Schur comedies, there are small, almost insignificant moments that viewers may not even notice but these small moments are ow they build the couples up, from the scratch.
“What’s a not gay way to ask him to go camping with me” 😂😂
Ben slowly became more like her
And Leslie became more like him. Compare early Leslie knope to how she was towards the end. You can watch the rise colored glasses come off as she becomes more pragmatic and capable.
It's not only enemies to lovers but opposites attracting in the best way possible.
Have I watched a timeline of their relationship a million times? Have I watched Parks and Rec 5 times? Do I believe I will have a relationship like this?
All yes. And yet here I am watching this again
same. I have all of these scenes committed to memory
Same... same.
Aspire for this non toxic little drama relationship!
0:50 I love how Ron goes from loving every second of the meeting to realizing Leslie is stepping out of line and he needs to be her boss
I always liked the subtlety of her bracing herself after she said she was done steamrolling people and asked Ben how he felt.
Leslie's second little "what are you doing" when she realises Ben's proposing makes me cry every single time.
I know this is about Ben and Leslie but god I fucking love Ron
I adore Ben and Leslie but Ron is my absolute favourite on the show. “What’s a not gay way to ask him to go camping with me?” 🤣🤣
@@lizziewalker7844 that part was sending me 😂
i’ve never wanted a relationship so much like theirs
“this is how i feel, how do you feel?” the pain and vulnerability in her eyes, afraid he doesn’t want to be with her the same way, and the way he can’t stand to let her fear for another second without reassurance and he rushes in to kiss her, i get teary eyed every time i watch that scene, that is the kind of angst/romance i live for
The harvest festival season is my favorite out of all the seasons. It’s just everyone coming together to work on something special and save their department. I love it.
Ruins a beautiful moment with “I’m gonna go see a man about some porcelain” 🤣🤣🤣
Don't worry, she's not buying cocaine.
Ben: “Leslie Knope will you…”
Leslie: “Yes!”
Me: “Will you yes?” 😅
They are so perfect for each other
the engagement ring box is the same as the campaign button box 😭my fav tv couple
I mean if you think about it, this is like a modern day pride and prejudice lol Leslie is Lizzie, Ben is Mr. Darcy, Anne is Jane and Chris is Mr. Bingley
Chris def has the same puppy energy Bingley does :D
i am quite literally obsessed with them
Ethyl Beavers reading transcripts is my favourite part.
Leslie is...um.... rather excited... that Ben declaring his love for her has been recorded into a government-created document, at taxpayers' expense ~~
Same
Amy embodies her emotions so well. Her face after she asks Ben how he feels is so heartbreaking. Also when she is being proposed to. I love it.
The stubble makes him look like a junior wolfman, but in a good way
I love how nerdy and big wordy they are with each other 😅
Aww! You left out the scene where they he asks her to eat lunch in front of the mural he likes, not knowing it's her very favorite.
One of my favorite TV couples. I literally love them so much 💞
Same! I LOVE THEM ❤
I know next to nothing about this show and it's characters but this video has me crying. Their story and relationship is so precious and feels so realistic. I love this!
One day I’ll have something like this.
One day
"One day", we all say
You might not. But it’s important not to settle for less than what you want and for gods sake, don’t try to convince yourself you found it when you haven’t.
Good luck to you.
My favorite part of them is their quirks and the way they accept them about one another. It shows they know and appreciate each other just as they are. The proposal where he gives her the time she needs is my favorite
I always hate when sitcoms break up the couple for no reason, but this one had a real reason and it was obvious they still loved each other so it didn't bother me as much.
Jerry really is one of the best people on the planet.
Okay their relationship makes me wanna believe in love and relationships 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
"what's a not gay way to ask him to go camping with me?" 🤣🤣🤣
Ben is so virtuous. A rare gem.
"Crying noise" " Crying noise "
This is one of the best love stories in all fiction.
Literally the only enemy to lovers plot that has ever been great in my book.
This is my absolute favorite relationship arc.
this doesn't really seem like enemies to lovers, maybe more like an enemies to friends to lovers
That's the way enemies to lovers is supposed to go. You start as rivals, then you learn more about the other, learn to appreciate them and then slowly fall in love with them.
@@babbyasmr2031 makes sense but kate and anthony in bridgerton skipped the friends part, i thought their relationship seemed like the epitome of enemies to lovers
@@purpleglasses4511 it was just badly written
@@haemilee8875 Also, in the book -which is also badly written- Kate and Anthony go from (very mundane) enemies to friends to forced to get married to lovers.
@@happyjellycatsquid bruv I stopped watching when they got forced to be married. I think it was the eighth episode idk something close to the fourth episode of well, anyways, it was horrid. I was like how tf would that even work.
Benji Wyatt : Human Disaster but also Man of my Dreams ❤❤
They started out, not liking each other to having feelings and getting together! They're one of the best couples in TV history!
The burp at the end really brings it home.
I'm literally crying and jumping at this
For Ron this was love at first sight tbh
Can't believe they redid the iconic Office kiss lmao
Ron loved downsizing 🤣🤣
The lady reading all that in such a monotone voice 😭😭😭 that was so fucking funny
8:26 aww so sweet 🥰
the proposal scene always gets me
Ben and Leslie over Jim and Pam any day of the week.
you did not add the game of thrones anniv gift bit, that's hilarous yet sweet
This show did a great job is stringing us along wanting Ben and Leslie to be together. One of the few shows to do that
Whoever in UA-cam pitched the idea of showing the most played part of a video deserves all the raises!
This show was so well cast omg, I can’t imagine anyone else playing any of the parts love it so much
Their relationship is more like hate-to-friends-to-lovers than enemies-to-lovers.
I remember when I first seen their first kiss , I jumped out of my seat so high and just went , “ yes benny boy slip her the tounge , ya legend,” my sister wasn’t impressed
Just crying on my lunch break watching this
Warms my heart to see how adorable they were, as I cant experience something like their relationship in real-life.
god he is so attractive
God i love this so much! ben is adorable!
"crying noise.. crying noise.. blowing nose..."😂😒
I’m not gon lie I’ve said those exact words that Ben has said…except “Wanna get a beer?” to a client 😂
Adding Ben Wyatt and Chris Traeger to "Parks and Rec" was, in my opinion, one of the best casting decisions ever made for a television series.
It took "Parks and Rec" from being a cheap knockoff of "The Office" into one of the best TV shows ever made.
I think the only casting decision that beats this is the decision to make Steve Urkel a recurring character on "Family Matters'"
"Oh...Let it out? I guess?"
I am in love with Ben. No further comments
Theyre very cute but did all the kissing clips have to be in complete silence so you could hear all the lip smacking lol
Good point but ig it is a mockumentary
2:43 I love the sports references he made
THE blueprint!!
As someone who has only seen him as Derek from step brothers, this is a huge shock haha
What do you mean but??? That’s exactly how it went. Lol
This is heartwarming.
I’m officially sad now 😂
u wanna get a beer? BOOM, early ben is so cool
SCREAMING, CRYING AND INDEED THROWING UP AHHH
The only show that does this trope wonderfully, and if their are others I feel this is the best.
The “Uh oh” heard round the world
Ben is the reason for my unrealistic standards of boyfriends!
I don’t think they were enemies I just think they were in diassagreement but they quickly became friends
Professional enemies more than personal animosity between them.
4:50 unspeakable rizz
My favorite couple of all time
