55 Andy Dwyer Quotes Better Than 5,000 Candles In The Wind

It’s been five sad years since we said goodbye to our favorite Parks Department and its lovable employees. Parks and Recreation may have wrapped in 2015, but the quotes from its hilarious characters live on forever. It’s hard to pin down which gave us more laughs: Leslie’s (Amy Poehler) over-the-top compliments, Jerry/Gary/Larry’s (Jim O’Heir) misfortune, Tom’s (Aziz Ansari) “treat yo’ self” attitude, Ron’s (Nick Offerman) anti-government policy while working in government, April Ludgate’s (Aubrey Plaza) dark and deadpan one-liners, or Andy’s kind-hearted but dopey persona.

To help narrow it down, we’re adding a list of our favorite Andy Dwyer quotes to our Parks and Rec collection. Read on for the very best of Mouse Rat’s frontrunner, Burt Macklin FBI, and Johnny Karate.
