I hate to break this to Dundler Mifflin Inc, but Leslie Knope and the Parks & Rec department are a much stronger, much funnier bunch of employees.

11 Reasons Why 'Parks & Rec' Wrecks The 'The Office' In A Head-To-Head Matchup

NBC Universal

1. You don't have to suffer through the first 2 seasons to get to "the good stuff"

Giphy

If one more fan of "The Office" says, "You just have to get through the first couple of seasons" to me, I'm gonna email personal complaints to Netflix until they remove the show. Try. Me.

2. Leslie Knope > Michael Scott

Giphy

Leslie Knope is a beautiful, powerful, quirky woman. I'd much rather work for her than for boring, old Michael Scott.

3. Dear "The Office," stop making me cringe and just give me some wholesome humor like "Parks & Rec" does

Giphy

OK, "The Office" fans, let's take a look back at the Diversity Day episode.

Rashida Jones: Ann is WAY less annoying than Karen

Giphy

Ann would never date someone like Michael Scott, and yet Karen did. Just something to think about.

5. Paper production is just not as enjoyable as some parks and some recreation

I would rather follow the lively experiences of the Parks and Rec department than whatever they are doing in "The Office."

6. The intense progression of Chris Pratt's hotness

Giphy

I mean, come on. Look at him! Need I say more?

7. April. Just April

Giphy

LOL

8. We get to LEAVE the setting that IS an OFFICE

Giphy

I want to go OUTSIDE. A big thank you to the Pawnee Parks & Rec department for making that happen for me.

9. Mouse Rat's music slaps

Giphy

Just listen to "The Pit" then get back to me.

10. You don't actually have to watch "The Office," just go look at all the memes flooding Twitter

Giphy

I'm sorry, but once a show's entire plot has been established by the teens trolling our Twitter feeds it is time to move on. Move on to "Parks & Rec" at this time, please.

11. "The Office" overstayed its welcome

Giphy

"The Office" started out rough then it went on a season and a half too long if ya ask me. So, say goodbye to Michael Scott and hello to Leslie Knope because "Parks & Rec" takes the gold.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
