Ben explaining his board game is brilliantly written and delivered

I think the most defining quote of Ron is when Chris says "why don't you come down to the store and talk to the salesman!" and Ron responds "Better idea: I go nowhere, and talk to no one".

[syntaxusdogmata]

The fact that Swanson remains so stoic in the first clip is a testament to his deep and abiding love of Diane. 💞

No Chris or Donna is crazy…

Chris was LITERALLY one of the most entertaining characters.

Love the very subtle callback when Ron is asked about having an overdue library book. He responds "Do I?" which is a question. In another episode, he said that he always answers government lawyer/worker questions with other questions to be passively hostile. This show is brilliant!

I'll never not crack up at Jean Ralphio singing "The until he makes Ben fall to the floor!

[songindarkness]

I would 100% play Cones of Dunshire with Ben, it would be epic. I am very impressed he managed to put a game together so quickly. I assume he has the minis lying around already painted too. So cute. 😆

"See you tomorrow, Jerry" lmao Andy was not listening at all

[EATSLEEPDRIVE]

Ron's best quote "I live the way I live. I eat the things I eat, and I'll die the way I'll die"

Donna Meagle: AM I JOKE TO YOU?! AFTER EVERYTHING MY MERCEDES AND I HAVE DONE FOR YOU?!?!?

[zlozlozlo]

Every time I watch the Cones of Dunshire scene, I find myself shaking my head and wondering how it didn't occur to Ben that the Maverick should be able to trade lumber for agriculture credits. I mean... It's so obvious.

Throwing out the computer never gets old.

1:29 he is a big nerd who cared deeply for Leslie and does very well at his job

[ConsistentlyInconsistent]

Leslie's "oh my god she's amazing" for Tammy 2 always makes me lose it. Simple but its the delivery

[calebsoria]

0:02 Andy Dwyer is so fun loving, caring, and has no shame in what he does.

[crs]

Not gonna lie, the fact that Ben cooked up The Cones of Dunshire in one week is pretty amazing.

[kevinfelton]

Ahhhh for me?

Don't sass me.

Iconic line.

[globbyakaweirdjellyguy]

I don’t blame Leslie for being concerned that Ben made the Cones of Dunshire in such a short time.😳😥 At least Ben’s game came in handy later on.😉

Ron’s reaction to invasion of privacy is my internal fight every time

[gal]

In the modern age the more we understand what an invasion of privacy cookies and targeted ads are the more I understand Ron tossing his computer in the trash
