Parks and Recreation is jam-packed with hilarious moments: from Jerry's "Fart Attack" to Leslie opening the door to reveal Andy stark naked. Jim O'Heir (Jerry Gergich) takes us through the stories that were happening around set that might be just as hysterical as the iconic on-screen moments.

Jim O'Heir's book, Welcome to Pawnee: Stories of Friendship, Waffles, and Parks and Recreation, is on sale now.
