10 Best Recurring Parks And Recreation Characters

2. Tammy Swanson

Ron And Tammy Parks And Rec
NBC

Ron has two ex-wives named Tammy. The first Tammy was quite literally there when Ron was born as she worked in the hospital. She was prim, proper and controlling. Tammy II grew up around Ron and Tammy I, but she was neither prim nor proper, though she was controlling.

Tammy II is a sexual dynamo that appealed to Ron's base instincts as a means of manipulating him. It's not even clear if she even really loves him so much as she just doesn't want him to be happy with anyone else, or happy at all. To make matters worse, she works at the library, the mortal enemies of the Parks Department. Any episode involving her is guaranteed to be epic.
