As much as we all want to Leslie Knope or Ann Perkins or even Ron Swanson, very few of us ever achieve that level of perfection. Sometimes we aim for being Leslie, and end up being a bit more Jean-Ralphio.

Fashion superstar and all-around icon Jean-Ralphio Saperstein is known for being the ridiculous and overly confident friend of Tom Haverford on the show "Parks and Recreation." He's viewed as being quite possibly the most nonsensical character (tied only with his equally terrible yet wonderful twin sister, Mona Lisa), but his depth of character is often overlooked and disregarded. The man is simply not given enough credit.

Would Tom have ever pursued his dreams outside of a life of government work if not for Jean-Ralphio's inspirational--albeit confusing--mini-speech at the end of season 2? And would Tom have needed to keep finding new dreams if Jean-Ralphio hadn't helped him start and fail Entertainment 720 and Rent a Swag? Tom's Bistro only came to be because of the attempts and failures in Tom's life, which were all thanks to Jean-Ralphio.

It's not a bad thing to be like him. He has great hair, incredible dance moves, and despite being annoying, is also somehow endearing. The show wouldn't be what it is without him, and Tom wouldn't have found his calling without some prodding from his irresponsible, Extra™ best friend. (And who else would've taught us that you can interrupt your sentences with singing, especially when you're calling your sister the woooooorst?)

So embrace your inner Jean-Ralphio. Kick back, and absorb the insightful wisdom he has for nearly every situation in life.

1. Pay attention to very, very smart women named Kim who happen to wax you. They tend to give nuggets of wisdom before ripping your hair off.

2. The best way to make money is the old-fashioned way:

3. There's only one fool-proof beginning for a winning speech:

4. Always look out for your sister.

5. Give your friends positive feedback.

6. Respond to losing your job with maturity and dignity.

7. Support from friends is important.

8. Supporting your friends is equally important.

9. Know how to throw a party.

10. Get creative with your problem solving.

11. Always look to network and play up your strengths.

12. Don't let your friends wallow.

13. Embrace life's challenges.

14. Know how to give inspiring pep talks.

15. Turn setbacks into a financial opportunity.

16. Actively pursue possible friendships.

You can either take his advice and become exactly like Jean-Ralphio, or view him as a lecture on consequences and only become slightly like him (because let's be honest, we all have a little bit of Jean-Ralphio in us).
