What is supposed to be funny about this character?

>>82301367

He was hilarious. If you didn't like him, you're most likely one of numale fags that he shits on.

DUDE BACON IS FRIKIN EPIC

>>82301462
No i'm closer to the caricature he portrays poorly

>>82301367
He's an exaggeration of an archetype that people can relate to. While he's sort of "set in his ways", he's still very endearing.

>>82301367
He was a conservative libertarian working in a system he hated. The jokes wrote themselves, he became iconic, and later, as >>82301516
""pointed out"", flanderized.

>>82301595
what archetype? never met a person like this in my life. My brother had a problem eating vegetables. thankfully he grew out of it with my assistance.

>>82301630
libertarians aren't ancap though. If anything he should be proud to help his local government.

>>82301651
you raped your brother?

you're a faggot numale

Man Leslie was so THICC. I want her to wrap her legs around my naked and afraid body and constrict the life out of me like a beautiful anaconda.

>>82301713
damn what a hot argument. like how you strengthen it with KoTH to make it seem like you are a real conservative.

>>82301780

Does your pussy hurt anon?

OP, you may just be too autistic to understand why others might find the character funny. Most normal people can find things unfunny, but have an understanding what other people find funny about it.

>>82301462
The actor is incredibly liberal and the writing is mocking libertarians from the point of view of liberals.

You are fucking pathetic thinking this was a huge fuck you to nu-males.

Take a known type, then blow it out of proportion.

Who /Jean Ralphio/ here

>>82301836
It isn't making fun of libertarians. He's one of the most loved and endearing characters on the show.

It's just that this new generation of youngsters get triggered at everything and upset at television shows and video games, no matter where they lie on the political spectrum.

>>82301888
I'm 29 and triggered I still have to see his unfunny act on FB clips that normies post all the time.

>>82301888

I think they view everything as if it is secretly shitting on source material etc.

Afraid to trust things.

>>82301651
Have you ever been to Indiana? There are conservative libertarians like this all over the place. Also, the show makes fun of all the characters, not just Ron.

>>82301836
The show makes a point of portraying him to be one of the most endearing and smartest characters.

If you think his character was just a parody for bashing right-wingers or libertarians, you are insecure as fuck.

>>82301926
His standup is shit, but his character on P&R was great.

>>82301968
I live in Texas and AM a conservative libertarian who supported Ron Paul. I guess this is what I seem like to out of touch champagne socialists.

>>82301968
The only thing that was weird to me was when the show would get super weird to me was with Aziz's Tom character. Not that there's someone of Indian descent, but how he finds these weird almost Californian type joints that I can't imagine in Indiana. MAYBE broad ripple, but like the place with the weird alcohol... that does really fit anywhere in Indiana at all.

>>82302018
In case you're not aware, Indiana is not Texas. Met a bunch of Texans while in the military, and you don't really see their types.

Swanson's a huge exaggeration, but his type exists in the state.

>>82302099
Indiana is a nonstate no one gives a fuck about or know exists. Tell me about the rhode island libertarians too

>>82302127
The show takes place in Indiana, you idiot.

>>82301367
He contrasted with the other characters in the show.

>>82302127
Get out. This is officially a heartland flyover state thread now.

>>82302064
You see these stupid pseudo-californian places fucking everywhere these days.
I'm gonna shoot myself if they build another "gastronomy pub" near my office.

>>82302099
Texas has their own military? what do they do?

>>82302157
>now
This thread is about a show that takes place in a heartland flyover state. Getting asspained because it "doesn't properly represent" archetypes in other states is Millennial SJW-tumblr-level whining.

>>82302179

>Getting asspained because it "doesn't properly represent" archetypes in other states
I never said that, you are arguing with the wrong guy.

>>82302099
Swanson intentionally exaggerated his bitter crotchety libertarianism because he didn't like people viewing him as a nice guy.

The extent in which he played up the stereotype was really beyond how he was actually like. He liked trolling people in the office.

>>82302291

The least political people in the office were april and andy and he liked them the most.

>>82301865
iiiiiii got hit by a LEX-US

>>82302099
The archetype that Texans are too stupid to understand shit outside of their own state DOES exist, though

Surprisingly common and often proven to be true, too

>>82301651
That's because you're a faggot who lives in a bubble on 4chan

Is anne perkins a top tier waifu?

>>82302544
more like states outside of texas are irrelevant and not worth getting to know

>>82302653
>>82302544
Is Texas the US of states?

>>82302627

I preferred her when she was doing the data-thon where she dated like 40 guys in quick succession. She was a decent straightman.

>You enjoyed the shadenfreude of april taking and keeping andy from anne

Female competition can be fun.

>It's another whiny /pol/tards crave victimization so much that they insecurely perceive a character that was, if anything, a compliment to right-wingers to be a parody making fun of them episode

Time to change the channel

Never found him or the show funny tbqh. Also Offerman is a huge cuck in real life.

>bacon and beer so manly xD

Reddit: the Character

>>82302714
Pretty much, yeah.
Everyone else in the United States looks at Texans in the same way the rest of the world looks at the stereotype of Americans.

Imagine the stereotypical loud, obnoxoius American who thinks too highly of themselves simply because they're American, and amplify it tenfold. That's a Texan. But with belt buckles.

>>82302887
It's not even a real victimization thing. Ron is shown to be hardworking and actually cares about people, despite his hard demeanor.

There's an episode where he is worried about Andy and April's dangerous exposed wires and shit in their house, and goes around repairing everything. Another character that he didn't care for previously wants to learn how to self-repair, and he respects that she's hardworking and wants to "do it herself" as well.

He's not an insult to the archetype at all.

>>82302179
It's called a militia my guy. Most states have them besides the national guard

>>82303302

That was halloween party episode. "Shock shower"

He fixed faucets, fixtures and replaced wiring in bathroom, kitchen and a few other things.

Not really any more so than the average American I would say. It's ironic that Californians are probably the ones who most often propagate "LOL TEXANS ARE STOOPID", when Texas has pretty middle of the road test scores relative to the entire US while California has some of the worst high school test scores in the nation.

>>82303487
It's not just Californians that look at Texas all weird.

Though to be fair, most of the nation looks at California pretty weirdly too, and they seem to be in denial about it.

>>82301516
Yes bacon tastes great. What's your point?

>>82301865
HEY MAN WATCH YOUR MOUTH THAT IS MY SISTER!
Naaaah I'm just kidding she's the worssssst

>>82303558
Texans certainly have a unique weird culture, and I don't think anyone even in Texas would deny that. I was only making a criticism of the idea that they are stupid, which given the population size and demographics in Texas, they actually abnormally outperform expectations in most socio-economic metrics.

>>82303897
Oh, I'd definitely agree with that. Coastal states looking down on others is sort of on all states, though.

>I only hang out with snowflake commies but I Know this is what you are

You're on Facebook and you have the gall to call others normies? Unless you're madthad, you can go fuck yourself with a pike.

Not >>82301888, but facebook is pretty great once you filter all the liberal crap out.

his stand up special was basically a youth group sermon
