Andy and yet it moves series#

Occasionally, Andy goes into character as his alter ego, covert FBI agent Burt Macklin, whenever he and April role play or to solve local mysteries. For instance, he received the highest grade the police academy had ever seen on the written entrance test, has an uncanny ability to remember movies word for word, and is able to memorize a long list of facts for his feminist college class in the episode, 'Smallest Park.' Andy also had perfect SAT scores, but mentioned it was probably due to broken Scantron machines.Īndy also possesses a wild imagination, which helps him become a children's performer named Johnny Karate and then get his own children's television show. Though absentminded and possessing an extremely short attention span, Andy is shown to have a savant-like memory. Īndy later gets work shining shoes at city hall, where he becomes friends with April Ludgate, whom he later marries after one month of dating. Īndy remained unemployed after school but was the lead singer and guitarist for his rock band, which underwent numerous name changes (starting with 'Teddy Bear Suicide' prior to the show's first season), including 'MouseRat,' 'God Hates Figs,' 'Department of Homeland Obscurity,' 'Flames For Flames,' 'Muscle Confusion,' 'Nothing Rhymes With Orange' (then, 'Everything Rhymes With Orange'), 'Punch Face Champions,' 'Rad Wagon,' 'Puppy Pendulum,' 'Possum Pendulum,' 'Penis Pendulum,' 'Handrail Suicide,' 'Angel Snack,' 'Just The Tip,' 'Jet-Black Pope,' 'Four-Skin' (later 'Three-Skin' when one member quit), 'MouseRat' (again), 'RatMouse' (without Dwyer), 'Scarecrow Boat,' 'Tackleshaft' and then 'MouseRat' (yet again). After being dumped by Ann, Andy begins living in the pit adjacent to Ann's house. Ann matured faster than Andy did while Ann entered into a career in nursing, Andy was lazy and unmotivated. Pratt summarized Andy Dwyer as 'dim-witted and guileless and a real idiot, but lovable.' At the start of the series, Andy Dwyer is dating Ann Perkins. He also did not appear in the season 2 episode ' Practice Date.' Īndy is one of the few starring characters not to appear in every episode, as he was absent for a multi-episode arc in season six while Pratt was filming Guardians of the Galaxy. Pratt was credited as a guest star for the first season, despite appearing in every episode he is part of the main cast for every season after season one. Andy eventually marries April Ludgate ( Aubrey Plaza) and is later promoted to Leslie Knope's ( Amy Poehler) assistant. He appears in the first season as Ann Perkins' ( Rashida Jones) unemployed, slacker boyfriend, then takes a job as a shoe-shiner at Pawnee City Hall in the second season.
