Parks and Recreation is arguably one of the most wholesome shows from NBC’s phenomenal 2009-2013 sitcom era (which saw the series air alongside The Office, 30 Rock, and Community). The show starred Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope, the overly-optimistic deputy manager of the Pawnee city council’s Parks and Recreation department. While the show is full of feel-good moments, one character is the butt of a good portion of the jokes. And, Chris Pratt (who played the lovable Andy Dwyer in the show) would often have to defend the character, and the actor that played them.
