An Epic Gallery Dedicated to Ron Swanson

Television has been a veritable smorgasbord of smart-ass, cocky, kick-ass, uber-cool characters since the dawn of it’s initial airings. From The Fonz, to Alf, to Sam Malone, many have gone on to the upper echelons of TV history. Their smarmy wit and acerbic one-liners will forever be carved into our memories. And now a new face of epicness has risen through the ranks and perched atop the pile. And his name is Ron Swanson.

Played with mustachioed fervor by Nick Offerman on the NBC sit-com Parks and Rec, Ron Swanson is a man’s man’s man with little time, or inclination, to mince words. He’s done it all, seen it all, and knows what he likes and damn sure tries to get everyone else to like it, too. Ron doesn’t mess around, works as little as humanly possible, and knows exactly how to achieve greatness with his mental prowess and rapier tongue. He is the master. This gallery shows off much of Ron and quotes attributed to him without being so frank as to only show actual photos of Ron. Ron wouldn’t appreciate that. But we do believe he’d appreciate this.
