Even though Parks and Rec ended with its seventh season two years ago, it’s still fun to binge watch on Netflix and quote all the time. Tom Haverford is one of the best characters of all time, and he’s constantly saying what we’re all thinking. Here are some times Tom did just that…
1. On desserts: “You can’t say your favorite kind of cake is birthday cake. That’s like saying your favorite kind of cereal is breakfast cereal.”
2. On morality: “I have never taken the high road, but I tell other people to ’cause then there’s more room for me on the low road.”
3. On taking the next step: “Think about how much better our friendship would be if we added ‘doing it’!”
4. On our favorite middle-school read: “Twilight is dope. I couldn’t put it down. It was like she was peering into my soul.”
5. On every exam question: “I don’t know how to answer that.”
6. On finding a balance: “Sometimes you have to work a little, so you can ball a lot”
7. On the importance of love: “Love fades away. But things? Things last forever.”
8. On your music taste: “Every song I download has to pass a series of rigorous tests to answer one simple question: Is it a banger?”
9. On avoiding ~certain people~: “If all goes well, this might be one of the last times I get to speak to you.”
10. And of course, on going to sleep: “My usual bedtime routine: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram ’til I slowly drift off”
The show may be over, but Tom Haverford is forever in our hearts.
