Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are no strangers to committing to the bit. Poehler shared that she and Offerman used to make out while filming Parks and Recreation in an attempt to get the moment into the show’s blooper reel.
“Nick and I used to do a thing every year for the blooper reel where we would end a scene by making out, and the crew would hate it,” Poehler told The Independent UK in an oral history celebrating the 15th anniversary of NBC’s beloved sitcom. “Everybody hated it, and it really made us laugh.”
Poehler played Leslie Knope, the deputy director of the (fictional) Pawnee, Indiana, Parks and Recreation Department. Her forever upbeat optimism was balanced by Nick Offerman’s Ron Swanson, a cynical libertarian working as the director of Parks and Rec.
“It was like watching your aunt and uncle making out or something,” Poehler continued...

It's been 15 years since Parks and Recreation introduced us to the crazy characters of Pawnee, Indiana.
It's a show that feels like it's always been around -- a pop culture mainstay -- and yet it's only been 15 years.
After a bumpy start with an awkward first season, Parks & Rec became one of the greatest comedies on television.
It gave us everything: characters we couldn't help loving (or hating), romances that warmed our hearts, and a satisfying conclusion that gave us a glimpse into where all our favorites ended up.
One thing that sets Parks & Rec apart from many of its contemporaries is its focus on platonic relationships.
Sure, there were some great romantic relationships. Leslie and Ben showed us what true love looks like, April and Andy gave us the weird combo we didn't know we needed, and Ron and Tammy 2 taught us that even the most level-headed...
