12 Times Chris Traeger Was Literally the Best Part of 'Parks and Recreation'

Moviefone
March 15, 2016 - 1 min read

"Parks and Recreation" said goodbye in 2015, but we'll never forget the people of Pawnee who somehow made local government funny. Case in point: Chris Traeger. The legendary Rob Lowe can basically do anything, but his portrayal of the perpetual optimist propelled him to next level greatness.  Here are 12 times Chris Traeger was LITERALLY our favorite person.

When he knew the important of me time.

When his compliments were on point.

When he was the boyfriend of our dreams.

When he said "literally" and meant it.

When he had the best way to describe a dog ever.

When his positive attitude literally outweighed the worst.

When he had serious #lifegoals.

When he appreciated even the worst puns.

When he was the ultimate eternal optimist.

When he used fitness to avoid reality.

When he was honest about his neurosis.

When he just wanted others to find love.
