Master of the ineffectual pickup line and able to rock a pink polo shirt like nobody's business, Aziz Ansari's Tom Haverford has quickly become one of television's most endearing, self-defeating idiots. We spoke to Ansari about his "Parks and Recreation" character a couple of days before his hosting gig for the MTV Movie Awards.
I'm looking at Tom's Twitter feed right now. "Need summer job while Pawnee gov't is shut down. Want something cool and sexy. First stop: Lady Foot Locker. Other suggestions?"
I feel like Tom would try to get a job at Brooks Brothers and, if that didn't work out, he'd talk to Brooks Brothers Boys. That's what he wears: Brooks Brothers Boys. It's a slimmer fit, and it's cheaper.
Going into Season 3, Tom has a girlfriend. The mind boggles.
It's going to be fun. He can't just talk a good game anymore. He's got to deal with the reality. But then, it could be worse. Just think of the girlfriend.
