Nick Offerman recently played a hilarious prank on his former “Parks and Recreation” co-star Jim O’Heir during a flight. Both actors, known for their roles as Ron Swanson and Jerry Gergich on the NBC series, found themselves on the same plane without initially knowing. Offerman, upon spotting O’Heir, seized the opportunity to entertain both his co-star and other passengers.
On-Board Prank with “Parks and Recreation” Touch
Pretending to be part of the flight crew, Offerman took to the PA system to deliver a memorable announcement. With classic Swanson wit, he included references to O’Heir’s character, famed for his numerous monikers like Jerry, Larry, and Garry. “As I always say, don’t half–ss your safety, only whole-ss,” Offerman quipped, causing laughter among passengers.
Surprise and Smiles in the Skies
The actor cleverly mentioned Indiana locations, recalling Jerry’s frequent trips to Muncie. He humorously added, “If you’re traveling on to areas like Muncie, and your last name is Gergich, please behave yourself.” Both actors, known for their on-screen chemistry, demonstrated their enduring camaraderie through this humorous exchange. Jim O’Heir, visibly amused, shared the light-hearted moment on Instagram, expressing delight at Offerman’s unexpected jest.
