Happy 15th Birthday to Parks & Rec!

In honor of the 15th anniversary of Parks & Recreation, treat yo’self with a trip down memory lane. We’ve rounded up 15 of the most memorable episodes of all time, and they’re all available to stream only on Peacock.

1. Pawnee Zoo – S2, Ep 1

What it’s about:

In an attempt to promote the Pawnee Zoo, Leslie holds a marriage ceremony for two recently acquired penguins. Unbeknownst to her, the penguins are allegedly gay. Instead of the public receiving it as a wholesome publicity statement for the zoo, Pawnee citizens criticize her for making a political statement out of their furry new friends.

Best quote:

Marcia: When you symbolically married those penguins on government property you took a stand in favor of the gay marriage agenda.

Leslie: That's not what I intended.

Marcia: Then why else would you marry penguins?

Leslie: Because I firmly believed that it would be cute. And it was!

2. Ron and Tammy – S2, Ep 8

What it’s about:

For the first time, we meet Ron’s ex-wife and evil library director, Tammy, and she is just as terrifying as Ron makes her out to be.

In this episode, the highs and lows of Ron and Tammy’s toxic relationship are on full, hysterical display and we learn Ron’s true weakness.

Best quote:

Ron: Every time she laughs, an angel dies. Even telemarketers avoid her. Her birth was payback for the sins of man. But you know the worst thing about her? Leslie: She works for the library. Ron: She works for the library.

3. Flu Season – S3, Ep 2

When Leslie implores Lindsay to take it down, an age-old battle reignites between the two. Meanwhile, Leslie plans a secret birthday party for Ron, much to his chagrin.

We also meet Andy’s legendary alter ego, FBI agent Bert Macklin, for the first time when he hilariously role plays with April, excuse me, Janet Snakehole.
