![]() Jerry does have some competence issues, as Donna Meagle revealed in the Season 4 finale that she keeps all of the office's computer records on backup files because Jerry accidentally erases them on a regular basis. He reveals to Leslie in 'Jerry's Retirement' that his lackluster government life was fine with him because he placed more importance on getting home to his happy family. His approach to his job is straightforward, to the point where he is not only thrilled to spend hours stuffing envelopes but is fine with re-doing the entire assignment because he screwed it up. Ron also describes Jerry as both the "schlemiel," and the "schlemazel," of the office, meaning he is both the person who spills the soup and is the person upon whom the soup is spilled. Although he never joins in the teasing, Ron Swanson describes Jerry as someone who "shrivels up when you shine a light on him," insisting Jerry does his best work alone. For example, on one occasion he stumbled over his words saying "murinal" rather than "mural", causing an abundance of teasing rather than a reaction to the aforementioned (and beautiful) mural he had created and led to the submission of a group-accepted (and horrendous) mural that wasn't selected. His opinions and talents often go unnoticed due to a total lack of respect from his co-workers. In the episode " Telethon", he is shown to be a skilled pianist, and in the episode "Go Big or Go Home" he is shown to be an exquisite painter of natural scenes. In the episode "The Camel", he paints a pointillist mural of the Pawnee City Hall composed of minuscule pictures of the town's citizens. He seems to have a normal family life and excellent artistic talent. He has heart problems he mentions he has a pacemaker in Season 2 Episode 17, and had a heart attack in Season 5 Episode 5. Despite this, he is overwhelmingly kind and warm-hearted toward his friends in the Parks Department. He is often the butt of jokes due to his embarrassing history, a collection of awkward moments including plastic surgery after being hit by a fire truck, routinely spilling his cup of soup, and being adopted by a woman with a history of selling marijuana (he did not know that he was adopted until Mark Brendanawicz told him in " Practice Date" when the members of the Parks department decide to find scandalous information on one another). ![]() His surname was first mentioned in the episode " Park Safety". Married to a beautiful wife and blessed with a wonderful family, he clearly achieved the sort of work-life balance most of us can only hope to achieve.Garry Gergich, born Febru(S4: E16), works for the Department of Parks and Recreation and is a married father of three girls. Though Jerry was a relatively minor character in the show's first season, he came into his own from season two onward as series creator Michael Schur realised the comic goldmine he had on his hands with the brilliant Jim O'Heir.Īnd from that point, Jerry's character was fully crystallised: his persistent clumsiness and ever-present status as the butt of every office joke, despite the fact that deep, deep down, all the Parks employees secretly loved him.īut of course, Jerry's home life proved far more accomplished than his career. What would Parks and Recreation be without the inimitable Jerry Gergich - or is it Larry, Terry, Gary, or Barry?
