About This Quiz
Do you know a thing or two about iconic comedy shows? Maybe you're thinking about "Friends," "The Good Place" or "Cheers," but we're thinking about something a little more ... authentic. You know, a TV show that has that documentary-style vibe to it. And that's what "The Office" and "Parks and Rec" both have in common.
Whether you're a fan of Michael Scott or Leslie Knope, we're about to dissect more of their famous lines. But we're going to include some other cast members as well, because these shows are both known for their quirky, odd and charismatic characters. Some of them are more chill and easygoing like Pam Beesly from "The Office," while others are serious and stern all of the time, like Ron Swanson. But as Leslie once said, "One person's annoying is another's inspiring and heroic." Now if you disagree with her, then you might side with Michael Scott, who famously said "Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me." But maybe these quotes are a little too easy for you to guess, so let's kick things up a notch with this fun "Which show said it?" quiz!
