I had a lot of trouble titling this episode. Here's the thing, just cuz you like something doesn't make you a fan of it, and I'm not trying to gatekeep here, but you degrade a fandom when you dilute the meaning of the word fan. Real fans of Parks and rec are not just now realizing that tick tocks use of "Don't be suspicious" comes from that show. Other people might just now be realizing it, but fans of that show recognized it when they heard it! If you say "potatoes" around a Tolkien fan, They will immediately think of samwise gamgee, regardless of the context in which you are speaking about said potatoes! Why? Because they're a fan. Just like Parks and Rec fans know "don't be suspicious".
