For those who don't know, Mouse Rat was fronted by Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt). Duke Silver was Ron Swanson's (Nick Offerman) alter ago. Li'l Sebastian was the miniature horse beloved by the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana—beloved enough to be eulogized by Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler):

The Parks and Rec cast previously brought Mouse Rat and "5,000 Candles" into the real world on Late Night with Seth Meyers in February 2015, coinciding with the series finale:

Parks and Recreation, created by Greg Daniels and Mike Schur, ran for seven seasons on NBC and earned 14 Primetime Emmy nominations. The show followed "the absurd antics of an Indiana town's public officials as they pursue sundry projects to make their city a better place."
