Ron And Tammy Parks And Rec

Jean-Ralphio Saperstein is a virtually endless fountain of horrible ideas and moral ambivalence. The son of a wealthy doctor, Jean-Ralphio has no concept of personal responsibility as his father enables him fully. Unfortunately, he drags Tom Haverford into many of his...well, plans doesn't seem like the right word since nothing he does is well planned out.

Really, he's just a maelstrom that Tom frequently has problems extricating himself from. The only person worse than Jean-Ralphio is his sister Mona-Lisa, who Tom briefly dates. Somehow, her moral compass is even more out of whack than Jean-Ralphio's, which is truly unsettling.

The Sapersteins are the worst.
