Angelika Kotsafti Quotes TV series quotes

Parks and Recreation, the hilarious sitcom that has been voted the number one television series by Time magazine in 2012, was aired from 2009 to 2015. The series is following the efforts of Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), a mid-level bureaucrat, who is helping the local nurse Ann Perkins to turn a construction site into a community park in a fictional town in Indiana. Her mission may sound simple, but is facing constant setbacks due to annoying bureaucrats, selfish neighbors, and government barriers. Leslie and her team’s job – and, of course, the writing work of the creators Greg Daniels and Michael Schur – is reflected through these hilarious Parks and Recreation quotes from the series.

As a result, these misfortunes are generating funny quotes and sarcastic comments on politics, labor, and everyday life. The sitcom is inspired by real events and during its seventh season, it has hosted real-life political figures such as John McCain, Michelle Obama, and Joe Biden.

The other characters of the show, Leslie’s boss Ron Swanson, her apathetic co-worker April Ludgate, April’s clumsy boyfriend Andy Dwyer, along with the energetic Chris Treager are a source of smart humor and chuckles. Even if you have never seen the show, the list below will make you laugh with your heart, as we have included the funniest and most genuine quotes of the series, about love, friends, work, and life.
