Parks and Recreation is probably the most consistently hilarious comedy show currently airing on television, and the crew behind the amazing [faux-documentary show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chilis-scranton-branch) has released The Many Faces of Ron collection of headshots to continue the hilarity onslaught that [NBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-office-set)’s released upon the world.

One of the main characters on the show, Ron Swanson, has already garnered [cult icon status](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fight-teeth) with his overwhelming machismo and libertarian views. Seen here is a collection of his wide range of emotions. Sure, it would be easy to recycle the same picture over and over again and receive the same amount of laughs, but Nick Offerman, the man who brings Ron Swanson to life, actually put in a conscious effort to make each face different in as subtle a manner as possible. If you haven’t guessed it already, I love this show.

My favorite expression in The Many Faces of Ron collection goes to Mr. Swanson’s “aroused” face, which is essentially a less-threatening version of his “condescending” face.
