Extensive misuse of the word "literally" was a thing decades before Parks and Rec ever aired. That's why the character does it, it's poking fun of the fact that so many people use the word incorrectly and have done so for a very long time. In the 90s, there were a pair of recurring characters on MadTV named Judith and Clyde whose bit were doing the exact same thing.
