So what you're trying to say is, Simpsons did it.

[–]Stanstanlol 23 points24 points ago

  1. Ron Swanson
  2. Something an introvert would say
  3. Profit

Yeah, I knew all the steps. So what.

[–]Grizzleshins_ -4 points-3 points ago

*Agoraphobiac

[–]Stanstanlol 1 point2 points ago

No. No I meant what I said. I'm not talking about a FEAR of seeing people. Being specific doesn't mean you're right.

[–]Derpybro -5 points-4 points ago

You sir, obviously don't know what an introvert is.

[–]BigLlamasHouse 28 points29 points ago

Jesus Fuck, even Ron Swanson would be pissed at all these Ron Swanson posts lately.

[–]deadbabby 22 points23 points ago

[–]learntofart 3 points4 points ago

It's because of a recent AMA, so I'm guessing he'd be cool with it.

[–]PurpleBebop 2 points3 points ago

I've always thought "Jesus Fuck" would be a great name for a metal band.

[–]civilian11214 0 points1 point ago

Dude, we totally had a metal band in H.S. called christfuck. We were no good.

[–]totoro11 2 points3 points ago

Okay this has gone on for far too long. Who the hell is Ron Swanson?

[–]JohnTesh 3 points4 points ago

You'd be surprised what google knows about him. Just wait until you see what happens when you go to google earth and type in his home address!

[–]totoro11 0 points1 point ago

Hmm. A character from Parks and Recreation. What's Parks and Recreation?

[–]JohnPJones 1 point2 points ago

A show.

What the fuck else do you want?

[–]totoro11 4 points5 points ago

Just your love, John.

[–]bepbop 10 points11 points ago

Seems like someone is looking for excuses to play more video games.

[–]DIP_MY_BALLS_IN_IT 19 points20 points ago

Retail worker here. I can confirm this.

[–]All_Out_Of_Fucks 13 points14 points ago

As someone who acted stupidly in front of a retail worker, I can confirm this.

[–]whiskeytango 3 points4 points ago

Retail workers make up a large part of the public.

[–]PolardOOd 3 points4 points ago

I have to deal with retail too. I often times want to shoot them in the fucking face.

[–]makopolo2001 -1 points0 points ago

Did you dip your balls in it to confirm?

[–]A_terrible_comment 16 points17 points ago

Because you are oh so clever...

[–]Schroedingers_gif 9 points10 points ago

Only people with PhDs can post to the tower of intellect that is /r/funny.

[–]Ragnalypse 2 points3 points ago

Why would an intelligent person get a PhD?

[–]moxiedrinker82 3 points4 points ago

As someone who has worked in hotels/hospitality for almost a decade, I can confirm this.

[–]TBAV23 0 points1 point ago

I'm going on 2 years in the hotel business.

You sure got a lot of moxie kid.

[–]moxiedrinker82 0 points1 point ago

[–]Finkster 8 points9 points ago

... but Ron Swanson loves nature. How are you supposed to experience nature if you don't go outside son?

[–]Melnorme 4 points5 points ago

Ron Swanson likes his outdoors private.

[–]Grindstone50k 3 points4 points ago

Public =/= nature.

[–]SpaceShipWon 0 points1 point ago

In fact, I'd say they're opposites by any definition worth its own.

[–]bfogarty27 4 points5 points ago

4th time he's on the front page today. come on

[–]elitemrp 1 point2 points ago

I just started watching the show a couple weeks ago (half way through season 4 now). I wasn't sure if it's always been this way and I just didn't notice since it wasn't a show I watched or if there's just been a recent explosion of these posts.

Either way yay I get the references now!

[–]bfogarty27 1 point2 points ago

he gets posted all the time, just not usually this badly. i'm fairly certain just last week there was a collection on the front page with like 15 of them in one post, and people probably just started posting each of them separately all weekend

[–]Theloogangkids 2 points3 points ago

I am the public, and I approve this message.

[–]moxiedrinker82 1 point2 points ago

You're one of the exceptions.

[–]gak001 1 point2 points ago

Well... that's one way to justify it.

[–]deja-vu-comment 0 points1 point ago

To be fair yes, yes they are. The lack of common sense I see only a daily basis can only be credited to acting without thinking, or worse, acting while thinking, which I find much scarier. tl

[–]Bloaf 0 points1 point ago

Why you should go outside: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jgvNqNKJ5Q

[–]messer 0 points1 point ago

That's the best reason to go outside.

[–]Usarnaem 0 points1 point ago

And now the public is reading your thread. Staring at you through your monitor.

[–]remembername 0 points1 point ago

yup.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]SeeJayC 0 points1 point ago

Yes.

[–]JJBell 0 points1 point ago

My girlfriend has the audio clip of Ron saying this on her phone as her alert that she has new texts.

Which is great when it goes off in crowded public places.

[–]dislikesthepublic 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if I'm relevant...

[–]quaste -1 points0 points ago

Just imagine how stupid the average person is. Now realize that half the population is even more stupid.

[–]fosterroberts 0 points1 point ago

I see the sentiment, but if I have a mustache that made women instantly quiver and orgasm where they stand once their eyes make contact with it, I'd be outside everyday.

[–]thebayway 0 points1 point ago

Not going outside is unhealthy.

[–]Lots42 0 points1 point ago

Stabbing people all day for being stupid is unhealthy. Sooner or later.

[–]thereallamewad 0 points1 point ago

Well, the internet is known to be full of the smartest individuals ever, right?

[–]foxycartographer 0 points1 point ago

Oh.. I should put this up in my office... uhno, I practically work in Ron's building. sigh

[–]jesusjchrist 0 points1 point ago

go to school and get over yourself, and you'll probably be a happier person. it worked for me. just work to better yourself, accept and forgive others, and you'll enjoy life more.

i'm not even trying to be an asshole here.

[–]bmoreoriginal 0 points1 point ago

I second that.

[–]undiplomatik 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, have you heard the concerns of the citizens of Pawnee? They are.

[–]r_shawshoe 0 points1 point ago

Me and you both man. Had jury duty today for the first time in my life. The combined perfume stench of around 50 southern womenfolk in one closed room nearly killed me. Spent half the time snotting up my handkerchief. And the wait wait wait waiting, watching lawyers sip coffee and small talk like it was a day at the park, all the while shoulder to shoulder on a wooden bench; when it was finally over i just wanted to go home and hide under the house with a bottle.

[–]austinlarkin 0 points1 point ago

Can someone please clarify for me who this guy is and why he's been dominating r/funny as of late?

[–]Slaughtermatic 0 points1 point ago

Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation, dominating r/funny because Reddit loves beating dead horses.

[–]gladdo420 -1 points0 points ago

I only up vote when im stoned. And for Ron Swanson ! This deserves a double up vote

[–]duckington 1 point2 points ago

Yes we are all so clever. Those idiots and their social outgoings.

[–]weenerhole 1 point2 points ago

Therefore you stay inside. Smart...

[–]Viperbunny -1 points0 points ago

There is no arguing with this...it's true. I hate people. I mean, there are some people I love, some I like, and some I will tolerate because I don't want to go to prison, but people suck.

[–]MagicSPA -1 points0 points ago

As someone who has spoken with tens of thousands of members of the public, I can verify that the public are 'mostly stupid'.

[–]maxxspeed -1 points0 points ago

I don't mind the public a few people at a time. But it seems the larger the crowd, the stupider it gets.

[–]Cxameron 0 points1 point ago

Every time I see a post with this guy, I spend way too much time searching for a subreddit exclusively with Ron Swanson content.

[–]youomomo 0 points1 point ago

So true

[–]spagnitz 0 points1 point ago

hell is other people

or when driving, hell is other cars

[–]sir_maximum_fuck 0 points1 point ago

You kinda become numb to it after a while. At that point it's how stupid can they get to elicit a reaction out of you? Then the mischief begins.

[–]waffleninja 0 points1 point ago

[–]Nicombobula 0 points1 point ago

the more of these i see makes me want to watch this show more and more

[–]Vee_Vee -1 points0 points ago

...and also why you can't get laid.

[–]CrazyEyeJoe 1 point2 points ago

I used to think the same thing, and then suddenly I stopped being a dumbass teenager.

[–]I_am_not_angry -1 points0 points ago

Yes, yes they are.

[–]All_Out_Of_Fucks -5 points-4 points ago

I normally hate when people post a picture with text ... but this is just too true not to up-vote.

[–]Pesceman3 2 points3 points ago

You must really hate this site.

[–]All_Out_Of_Fucks -2 points-1 points ago

LOL! Not as much as you might think.

[–]z4ni 0 points1 point ago

libertarian... but thinks the public is stupid....

[–]Geronimo15 -5 points-4 points ago

Your stupid

[–]AddNine 0 points1 point ago

His stupid what?
