Ron Swanson is one of the manliest men to ever appear on television. His mustache alone has become the stuff of TV legend, which made his transformation on this week's 'Parks & Recreation' (Thu., 8:30PM ET on NBC) all the more tragic.

For the second time in series history, an ex-wife named Tammy has proven able to completely transform his behavior. Only this time, she completely emasculated him. First of all, Ron without a mustache is a frightening thing to behold, but then he passed on yelling about government spending?

Leslie Knope had simply had enough, and she tried slapping him out of his malaise. She really connected, too, which made it funnier -- but hopefully, they got it in very few takes. Unfortunately, Tammys hold a power over Ron Swanson that even physical violence can't stop.
