The rotation of the balloon “Get Well Soon Tyrone” becomes visible lol such perfect timing

[BlackSkullArmor]

Ron was physically cringing in pain as Ann slowly and vividly recounted her birthday experience

[ZackKolin]

I love that Leslie undoubtedly told Andy Dwyer that he was "part of the kidnap squad", KNOWNG that Andy would unwittingly reveal that to Ron. Leslie Knope is truly the best of friends, and we should all be so lucky to have a Leslie Knope in our lives.

"I would never make a work-related call, you know that."

[virajyadav]

"Why would I do a Ann Perkins party for Ron Swanson?" This is the sweetest thing ever!

[colinpreston]

The older I get, the idea of a Ron Swanson style party becomes more appealing.

"inflatable saxophones?" April was just really messing with Ron. lol

“I’m part of the kidnap squad”
That probably the one line you never want to say in a public place.

Andy: “Ooh. Dude, you forgot to put a shirt on. It’s fine... I do it all the time.”

Andy is an endearing golden retriever.

It's a crime that Nick Offerman was never even nominated for an Emmy.

[arsalan]

"Oh my God Ron, it's your birthday. Happy birthday."
"Shut your damn mouth"

[Ifollowmusic]

This was great but his reaction to when Leslie got Ron that remote control that closes his office doors. THAT was priceless lmao

[laurenb]

ron and leslie's friendship makes me so happy

[loveickbeat]

Ron cared for her enough to try and go to a party so he wouldn't upset her. He also remembers every meaningful conversation they've had. He's an ole softy haha

[Clawsome-Clips]

I love Ron's smile when he tells Leslie that April messed with him the entire time. Like he expected nothing less from her. 🙂

[JohnSmith-bnmi]

This is one of my favorite sequences. It shows just how... thoughtful and masterful Leslie is at both messing with her friends, planning, and just understanding them on a personal level.

***flinches before he even goes into the room

🤣🤣🤣

[THEDONKAGE]

Ron looks like he's about to cry at 3:38. He's just so silently appreciative of what she's done and how much she gets him. He's also probably very, *_very_* relieved he doesn't have to go through a noisy, busy party.

[hbpinnock]

Ron saying "Thank you" freaking gets me right in the heart. You can tell he's truly touched and that that doesn't happen very often.

[againstballveer]

"Whatever you do, be the Leslie Knope of that" read that on a coffee cup somewhere.
