Parks And Recreation: The Impossible Jean-Ralphio Saperstein Quiz

Every modern day sitcom has a Jean-Ralphio Saperstein.

Brooklyn Nine Nine had Craig Robinson’s Doug Judy whose bromance with Jake Peralta often papered the cracks of the crook’s dodgy schemes. The Office had Todd Packer, Michael Scott’s one true friend who NOBODY else liked (not even Michael by the end). And Parks and Rec had the best example of the uber-frustrating to watch, infrequent supporting star that may be the shining example of the trope.

A Jean-Ralphio Saperstein (which the character himself would probably trademark if he could) is that character who you would HATE to know in real life but you find oddly fascinating watching irritating others on the screen. You know you can’t trust him but you find him particularly entertaining for how devilish he can be to those around him. And in this case he just so happens to have a twin sister who is equally annoying (we won’t reveal her name as it’s a trivia question here).

Jean-Ralphio is so annoying in fact that the actor Ben Schwartz who portrayed him didn't even think audiences would stomach a spin-off series based around him!

But how much do you remember about Tom Haverford’s rather quirky and eccentric best friend?
