re: Who were the writers of Parks and Rec making fun of with the Ron Swanson character?

I always felt like the episode where he tried to get Mark to rubber stamp his woodshop inspection was out of character. I don't think that Ron Swanson would have ever allowed for shoddy and dangerous working conditions in his shop.

After watching stand ups and other stuff the actors have been in, I'm convinced that the parks and rec characters are just straight over exaggerations of those actors actual personalities.
Nick Offerman's standup is basically Ron Swanson standup. Chris Pratt is a known lovable goof in hollywood. Aziz is obsessed with everything in the now in his stand ups. The casting in that show was perfect.

Nick Offerman said he based the personality on an old coach he used to have. Not sure where the writers got the idea from

The Swanson burger recipe:
It's a piece of meat inside a bun.
Enjoy!

I don't think they ever made fun of him exactly. But by the end of the show he'd changed to accommodate the Amy Poehler ego festival that the show became. As far as I'm concerned the show went downhill the longer it was on the air. Early Parks and Rec was great TV.

This is usually the case with any TV show.

No, people just see that you are wrong.
Ron was the Anti-Knope.
He was calm and aloof. She was frantic and compassionate.
He was handy and earthy. She is is handi-capable and a city gal.
He hates government. She loves government.
He wasn't a libertarian for ANY other reason, but to foil Leslie's Ultra-Liberal
