One of Parks and Rec's greatest running jokes is the ambiguity surrounding the real name of Jerry Gergich (Jim O'Heir), and in the season four episode "The Trial of Leslie Knope," Jerry finally admits under oath that his name is really Garry, to the surprise of both Leslie and Chris (Rob Lowe).

However, eagle-eyed viewers might've actually realised that this fact was first officially revealed a single episode prior, when "Jerry" flashes up his ID card at Tom (Aziz Ansari), and for a fraction of a second the name "Garry Gergich" is visible. Brilliant.
