Jim Halpert vs. Charles Miner - The Office
• Jim Halpert vs. Charle... - Комедії
Charles Miner is what made Jim appreciate having Michael Scott as a boss.
And Stanley. Remember when he gave Stanley the task of ensuring everyone was productive?
True dat!
Literally
I love that lesson of not knowing how good something is until you lose it.
Sort of a.... eminement lesson.
He Knew This When He Left For The Stamford Branch
Charles asking Jim to do a rundown of the clients and Jim not knowing what that means but being too embarrassed to ask is one of the most relatable things
OMG yes, and the boss who expects you to know EVERYTHING 🙄
@@arinthium4018I would expect a new employee not to know that. I would expect a guy who started years ago to be able give me a record of all his clients. Thats pretty basic.
@@owenleal you’re fired
It was like when George Costanza was in charge of creating a special report on something he had no idea about, but was afraid to ask his boss.
@@owenleal is that what a rundown is?
I love that the show always portrayed jim as the straight man, which implied that he had no flaws like the other characters.
The arrival of Charles really showed how insecure jim was about making good impressions on people. When Charles didn't get a good impression of jim, it drove him nuts. Great writing.
Same with that episode where Jim was confronted by a kid he bullied. Can’t find that clip anywhere but it was pretty cringy how he acted
@@totoroid what the hell
@@totoroid I think that's when Andy threw the sales presentation to boost his sales. You gotta love Michael in that episode for pretending to be a character and not an actual boss.
@@Ivyticrea yeah it was the sales event with Andy episode - "these are baby whales which makes them even cuter"
I agree with this.I just hate when people think Charles has no flaws when he intentionally targets Jim.Multiple other officers members made the silly mistakes and are insecure like Jim.But he doesn’t twist there words and made them seem dumb.
Idris Elba is way more intimidating playing a middle manager in The Office than he was playing a drug lord in The Wire
Don't be fooled. That's stringer in witness protection.

The funniest thing ever is when Charles vouches for Dwight in front of David, only to immediately be humiliated after Dwight won't shut up about his bee warfare revenge plan against Michael
That was a classic
In fairness, it’s not as if Dwight would use a bad apiarist.
6:33 I love how Charles tries to shift the blame to Jim for ducking, like he didnt kick the ball with all his strength in this friendly match of overweight sales people
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it, he blamed Jim without taking accountability for his hard ball pass
Jim should not have ducked. 🤨
@@user-fk7sk9ut1t You're missing the point (I agree with you but one little factor), he's playing unfair on purpose. He hates jim.
@@mr.o6240even a fucking pro would have done that. you don't kick the ball that hard on a parking spot
@@leandrodiaz5433 a pro wouldn't duck lol, they'd turn their backs on the ball. No one on a football field ducks to save themselves from impact
In the OFFICE WORLD a no-nonsense boss is the villian!
Actually in every world they are the villian. Usually spoil sports just sucking up to the upper management. Can't just go with the flow. Have to make their presence known. Want get shit right... Boy I am rolling my eyes so hard.🙄
Yep
Yep
Yep
Yep
I'm just now realizing this but maybe the reason why Charles doesn't like Jim is because Jim is trying to make Charles like him and the reason why Charles prefers Dwight is because Dwight isn't trying to impress Charles. They kind of switched roles because towards Michael, Dwight is the one who always tries to impress Michael that's why Michael like Jim more
Damn bruh
@@Rekeza you mean the guy who uses the kids bathroom and that doesn't have a lock on it? Yeah trustworthy opinion
Azazel Delavin but it’s not supposed to have a lock for safety reasons. At least, that’s what the guy said. Still, I find it weird the dude was using a kid’s bathroom.
Everybody else was being way more of a suck up though if that were true Charles should hate Andy not Jim
Oh how the turn tables
I am really sad that Robert California and Charles miner didn't ever meet , that would be Jim's worst nightmare
Jim and Andy's
Robert California admired Jim and was his friend even after the wife incident. Charles Miner was Jim's worst nightmare.
And these two men are the people that made Jim got a wake up call that not everyone can be a boss like Michael Scott
I think they REALLY wouldn't get along. Robert and Charles, I mean.
@@MisterPugglesyeah, Robert was just as weird as everyone else, just in a different way. Charles doesn’t like weirdness in the workplace.
The way Charles treated Jim, it was like the teacher who always hates you for no reason
No reason, right.

@@biffin1123Not what he was alluding to.
@@LanceRedCock kindly enlighten me
.....ok
"Must be nice to get a rest from all your rest."
I felt that one lol!
What was Charles referring to with that particular comment?
@MR. MISTER Ok, thanks. I thought maybe Jim & Pam had just returned from a vacation the week before, or something like that.....
It's still a totally jerk thing for Charles to say, I think.
If I really thought that about a subordinate, I still couldn't bring myself to say it at what appears to be a social function, much less in front of the man's fiancee.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is me during quarantine
That's a good way to turn me into a permanent slacker.
there is always that someone in a superior position at work who doesn't like you for some odd reason & its the worst feeling
Oh trust me there is always a reason
I agree but in case of Charles tho, Jim wasn't really focused. Flirted with Pam, pulled pranks on Dwight. If Michael wasn't his boss he wouldnt have pulled any of that at least not to that level
For some odd reason? His first encounter with Jim was him in a tux -- at work. And Jim's subsequent impressions went downhill from there. There was a very good reason...
hey what's so wrong with wearing a tux?
@@Ziaotic Not appropriate for work
The music and effects had me in TEARS. This relationship always made me feel awkward but not anymore! Knowing Idris Elba almost broke makes it even better.
Everytime it did the intense music with the blue filter, I couldn't stop laughing

I love how pam sensed Jim being in "danger" when Charles ask him about the tuxedo xD
Me: I could never hate Idris Elba
Charles Miner: Hold my beer
Also Charles: That was a joke. I do not drink beer on work time. Now get back to it.
@@BlackDiamond2718 haha perfect!

No harm in it
@@StefveoX I'm sure once you found out his job is legit, you decided to get defensive
I love how Charles kicked a soccer ball as hard as he possibly could at someone’s face and then acted like it was somehow Jim’s fault that the ball he kicked at someone’s face hit someone in the face
Finally someone said it
So true!!!
It was in the parking lot and he was less than 10 ft away. Like why did he feel the need to kick it that hard when they were that close? Charles was 100% trying to hit Jim in the face and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Well, he thought Jim was a professional soccer player, those guys normally know how to deal with such situations.
@@abraham2172 Charles kick was completely intentional though, despite the amounts of training no one's ready to react to such a furious kick
The look that Charles gives Jim after he points out that Charles didn't actually say anything about a buy out is absolutely priceless LOL
I absolutely lost it when Charles was watching Jim through the office window
And when they showed him again, he moved to the blinds to watch him close up😂😂😂That was hilarious
ROFLOLOLOL!!! i died laughing

So I guess Charles was watching Jim to mess with him.
Charles: "what is a 2 way petting zoo"
Jim:"you pet the animals and they pet you back...."
Joshua Tyler lmao..😭
Lmao saw this just before he said it
I don’t know about y’all but that sounds like a really great idea. I wanna be petted by a llama 🦙
Knowing jim, you can tell he was trolling with that idea..but the fact that Charles doesn’t know Jim like that (or like him) makes it’s hilarious...Jim felt sooo embarrassed..😂😭
Oh, man. That's funny as well as scary.
Ok but at 7:08 “look who just woke up”
“I’ve been up for awhile” is so cold lmao
It helps to have a genuinely great actor like Idris Elba delivering those lines
Let's be clear: in the soccer scene Jim dodged a ball that was hit waaaay too hard. Nobody passes a ball that hard to a teammate
He wasn't passing
@@kunalbhattacharya1752 if he wasn't passing why would he shoot that hard at a teammate, for what?
@@comosellama5194 They clearly weren't on the same team. (Jim is running backward as Charles advances, as a defender does.) So no... he wasn't passing. He was trying to hit Jim.
It concerns me how you people dont even know how to Play Football.....
Jim was on the other Side of the Team and Charles didnt Pass He Tried to shot a gial
@@thorfinnmek3951 Yeah, I don't know why people keep thinking it was a pass. Jim and Charles are clearly playing on opposite teams.
Literally the only man who ever made Jim uncomfortable
The Dark Knight have you not seen dinner party?
Jonah S Jim gets uncomfortable rather easy. Isn’t he always the guy doing awkward expressions towards the camera during a situation he doesn’t like?
Also Robert California
What about his childhood buddy that came to andys seminar
Packer?
Idris Elba acted as a perfectly regular human being among comedy characters. It's amazing.
Still had flaws.Twisted Jim’s words and action to make him feel dumber.
I feel like he’s too humorless, it’s not normal. Dude hardly ever even cracks a smile
@@abrahamagler3040 No one is claiming he’s flawless, he’s just a straighter arrow than Jim
A perfectly regular, seething-with-barely-concealed-rage, human being. Just an ordinary dude really
@@je7450 I only know him from The Wire and in that series he was really cold and humorless. In real life he's very charismatic if you watch some of his interviews.
The 'rundown' Charles was asking for is a report on all of Jim's clients so he could redistribute them to the rest of Sales. It was telling Jim he was about to get fired in all but asking him to clean out his desk.
Just reposting what I saw from a top comment here in the past.
You Legend . Not only I had no idea of what a rundown is, on top of that you admitted you got your explanation from another comment. Respect 👍
You missed the part about how it was like holding a gun to someone's head making them dig their own grave before killing them.
My comment!
Pretty sure a rundown is a listing of all his clients and what their standing orders are and a snapshot of monthly sales for an specific number of months and whether sales are trending up or down. Just a guess
I love the writing for Jim’s character. because whenever Jim lost his cool I feel like the audience really felt it.
Lol, the show really portrays Jim as one of the "normal" people in the Office, and seeing interact with this guy really puts it into perspective, he is just as nuts as Dwight or Michael
I guess Jim is actually nuts in a few ways, but it sounds really unfair to put him in the same level as Dwight and Michael. Those two are totally unrealistic!
Plus the free and easy work environment that Michael promotes in the office is bound to take its toll on anyone who would work there. Imagine if your boss had next to no rules and was goofy and just wanted to hang and have fun all day. Even the “normal people” in the office would eventually become more lax in their duties.
@@nuclearmusic77 not Dwight!
Lmao I love it
Two way zoo
1:25 when Pam pulls Jim away like Ok that's enough, you're making it worse 😄

"C'mon bear man. C'mon."
That was sweet how she looked out for him!
Get you a woman who
Ryan we men need women like Pam at least 4x a day!!
Jim honestly deserves this. He was always the type of guy to dish it out but can't take it. Him getting treated poorly by Charles is unfair, but was well deserved and enjoyable to watch.
he actually wasn't treated that unfairly. Jim just wanted his superior to like him like he's always been used to. he was also used to the 'mom & pop' style of management and interpersonal communication his whole career instead of the more professional/cold style of just do your job that's more prevalent in the real world.
Not at all enjoyable to watch.
@@michaelweston2285 I think the comments at the company barbecue are over the line and would be seen as pretty unprofessional in a real-world context
How you get something well deserved and still being unfair
👍👍👍
Looking back a Rundown of your clients is not confusing at all.
List of clients, what they do, how long they've been serviced by Dunder Mifflin, primary contact, and potential for more sales or risks of losing their business
Same. I wasn’t sure what was confusing Jim.
Well when you work for Michael. You don't really know anything. Phyllis even said at the end she work for a paper company for years and never wrote down anything in a paper lol
So jim couldn't charm his way out of this
Oh no! The new boss does not find Jim adorable! Ohhhh!
No, a person cannot use charm or any other social tactic to solve a problem like a humorless, imperceptive, narrow-minded, micro-managing boss.
I liked Charles
@@ddave7026 Yuck.
@@WaitingtoHit Growup!
In reality, this makes him a bad boss. The first incident of him being critical of the fancy suit was fine, but his unwillingness to communicate with Jim affected his work and business relationship. That man wasn't manager material.
Also the guy pulls power moves on Jim all over the place to make him feel inadequate. That and his propensity for Dwight really does show that he was interested in a bootlicker that would do what he said. Jim displayed too much of a personality for his taste, and he perceived him as being too close to Michael so he was clearly trying to either grind him down or fire him completely.
Say what you will about Michael, but he was never an authoritarian. Sometimes that was to his detriment, but he didn't try to make his employees feel small like Charles did.
Evan Sageser TALK THAT TALK!
Evan Sageser well I’d say micheal enjoys the power he has over his employees.... he is quick to take offence and when Gabe and Charles come into the picture he gets upset..... and why do you think he hates Toby the most!? Cause he has the power to tell him no!
Charles is a good boss. He takes the job seriously. People don't like that
Terrible boss. Very poor communication skills, and his attitude toward Michael was the catalyst for Michael's paper company being formed, which ultimately cost Dunder-Mifflin a chunk of change.
I love seeing Idris doing comedy. He's hilarious being the straight, no nonsense boss lmao
As a soccer player Charles kicked that ball wayyyy to hard to expect Jim to get in front of it at that distance. It was completely his fault
He was probs aiming for jims face 😂
@@charlieblake5911 hence why he was furious Jim ducked
As someone who also played from 2nd to 4th grade from the 'blue' team, i totally agree with you :)
Charles intention is to hit the ball toward Jim's face. So yeah, that's all on Charles :)
They weren't on the same team
I’m sorry, I just can’t get over the fact Jim could’ve asked Michael, Phyllis or Stanley what a rundown was or simply looked it up
He could have also taken off the tux jacket and bow tie to minimise the damage. He still would have looked weird but slightly less so.
Michael?

The second hand embarrassment was real 😂😂😂😅
"Look who just woke up! I've been up for awhile!"
Really loving that line
sounds like something omni man would say
This is perhaps the only time where Jim comes off as a really cringy character.
Yes, Charles easily sucks the life out of someone like Jim. Halpert needs a relaxed playing field.
@@csguak Jim with the Tux
the ONLY time ?????????
yeah and it was refreshing imho, I like charles because he really called out Michael and Jim
I was looking for a comment like this. Jim tried to suck up to him from the start.
I love how it turned from Dwight saying "assistant regional manager" to Jim saying that.
Hahaha so right! 😂
Well well well how the turn tables
"You want to keep up, that made up position? It is important to you?" ouch...
yeah but he said that as a private joke so
Funniest thing tho was that being second in command was given to him by David himself, unlike Dwight. He could’ve just told Charles that the whole second in command thing came from David and Charles probably would of backed off.
I love when David comes in and makes a hypocrite out of Charles. I just love those scenes so much

Idris Elba's American accent is perfect. When I first saw Charles Minor in the original run I never suspected he was being portrayed by an English actor.
Idris Elba is just a phenomenal actor!
When Charles comes in and Micheal says “party planning committee. Not your concern” I felt like a true father just saved me from a bully and discomfort there.
So apt!

Charles won his war against Jim but lose to Michael
Exactly
@@liebestitch689 Charles lost Michael because Jim helped Michael and given Jim still had his job at Dunder Mifflin by the end, unlike Charles, I think it safe to say Jim did win the war.
What's even funnier is that Charles Miner was one of the only characters in the show to act professional and be actually competent at his job
Was he? He's directly the cause of the company losing a substantial amount of money to the Michael Scott Paper Company. And his efforts did nothing to prevent Dunder Mifflin's bankruptcy and sale to Sabre. Also, the ONLY successful branch was also the only branch that he was banned from interfering with.
Charles is not a competent boss. He's a terrible communicator, making employees unsure what tasks they should be performing and what deliverables are expected. He came with an immediate change in the branches culture, forcing employees to adapt to a much different routine. He also was an authoritarian figure, appreciated only by the office's sociopath. And even he couldn't actually delegate any tasks properly to Dwight (all he does is take notes).
@@Leodw14you were probably exaggerating but I'm sure Dwight is closer to having Autism or Asperger's than being a sociopath, is at all.
@@fxde1643yeah agreed Dwight definitely is not a sociopath, he’s still shown to care about people at the end of the day, even if it’s in some absurdly ridiculous way

*intense stare that makes jim regret being born*
Titaneers2 Exactly! Someone should have pointed that out. I get that injuries and accidents happen in soccer but there’s no reason for Charles to literally kick the ball for it to go up in the air which would have forced Jim to either catch it to prevent injury to himself or he would have still moved out of the way to prevent a foul...cause the trajectory was too low for Jim to chest bump the ball away. So Charles is just a crack of shit throughout his role on The Office.

Gotta give props to Charles tho. Before he came into the picture, Jim was like the coolest person on the show. After Charles showed up, Jim turned into a try-hard, broken shell of his former self.
After Charles left Jim kinda became his normal self
or did he?
It shows that Jim is a big fish in a small pond who isn't being challenged. He turns into a stuttering fool the second anyone who can keep their cool (so not Dwight) challenges him. This experience does humble him and it's after this (and becoming a father) you see him take a much more serious look at his work
@@rohunsaigal2576 I’m generally with Charles on this. After a few seasons Jim’s antics got annoying. Even got irritated at how he treated Dwight, who was just taking some pride in his work.
Charles asks Jim very reasonable question. What are you doing with your time? What am I seeing on your work computer? What is the progress on the task I asked you to finish as soon as possible? Why aren’t you doing it. Charles is more professional than most real bosses.
@@sleepinggorilla charles is asking those questions in a way so that jim fails to answer them, not to motivate or extract the real answer.

Yes definitely. I never really liked Jim as a character after I watched the show a few more times.
Also yes I love CIX
it was good to see him get treated like that for a while
I love how Charles tried to knock Jim's head off with the soccer ball and then blamed him for hitting Phyllis. Of course if Jim actually knew soccer he'd have realized that's what was happening.

3:41 *THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!*
It's clear that the show intended for Charles to be the villan to Jim's hero but really Jim had always been a smug subversive tool and Charles clearly wasn't having any of it and it was satisfying to watch Jim get put in his place, and not charm his way out of things lol 😂
A rundown is a list vendors and what products they are ordering and how much usually if someone asks for a rundown the person writing it is about to get fired
Oof
SMbigpapi wait really? Lol
All i know rundown is like a timetable or schedule for some events, lol 😂😂
Why do they make the person about to be fired write it?
S LJ id assume it’s because they know their sales, it’s so they have a good idea of how to continue providing the product after the said person gets fired
Charles really cares that his employees are being professional and doing their work while does not care that there's cameraman that follows everyone at the office
Nadzmi Haron nah he’s just a pain to work with, constantly snapping at your employees for simple questions isn’t going to encourage your employees too work hard they are just going to resent you the rest of the work week, thus slowing down production, thus a loss in productivity and Money
Wouldn't he know there's a documentary being filmed at this branch?
@bored exactly. Jim doesn't realize they are paying him to work and not flirt with Pam all day/playing pranks on Dwight
PUNANI_SLAYER420 whoa there, easy tardo i think you’re taking this comedy show a little too seriously. After all, would you want to watch a show where people work in an office and consistently do their job and act professional? Just go sit in a real office if that’s your thing.
Charles, Jim and Pam aren't real. It's a freaking TV show people. It's for entertainment, not a work ethics lesson. So shut up!
I remember watching the Charles Arc as it aired back in middle school and laughing at and hating him all at the same time. Fast forward 12 years and boy did I not give this show enough credit as a kid (how could I). Up till recently I had a boss JUST LIKE CHARLES except she often threw emotional tantrums and had everyone in the office walking on eggshells around her. The way he was saying Jim was a disappointment and fell short of expectations gave me PTSD because that's what my boss was saying about me less than 5 months into the job, yet my other bosses and coworkers had nothing but kind and/or honest critiques of me. If a person like this gets it into their head that they don't like you, then there's nothing you can do to change it. Better off not trying to please them and doing your best within your role at the job, even if they don't fully define your role (setting you up for failure) but that's another topic.
Ngl, as a kid, I despised this character. But as an adult now, it’s great seeing Jim being put in his place by Charles and appreciate Idris’ character alot 😂
Charles is a great character and it’s fun to watch Jim squirm but no way Charles would last as he can’t handle the sales staff who are the most important.
@@gutenbirdi mean in a realistic scenarios nobody in that Office would last acting like Dwight or Jim, with all the slacking off and pranks bs
@@diegosotomiranda4107 Charles is a great character but he's not a salesman and doesn't seem to be able to reign in one of his best salesmen by bullying him. Charles would have been great in Jan's position as a manager of the managers. The person I thought they should have kept though he seems universally hated is Will Ferrel. He did much of what Charles did, putting Jim in his place but the way he screwed with Jim was hilarious. He had that intimidation factor and that insane side. The strength of both Michael and Charles.
7:02 "Must be nice to get a rest from all your rest," then walks away. That is the funniest line Charles says.
And the most ignorant. Demeaning an employee in front of his wife. A good manager understands the power dynamic and wouldn't treat his worst employee that way outside work.
@@thunderclees24 and Jim absolutely wasn't even the worst employee, he had consistently good sales and was well liked in the office in general.
@@thunderclees24 every normal boss would be eventually fed up with constant slacking off (not to mention basic incompetence really)
@@Aureliano_Babilonia Really?So basically your saying even tho Jim already do was carrying dundeemifflin HARD and made so many sales that he could slack off a a lot,your saying he should spend his time doing more stuff that would probably be stupid and make barley any difference since he wouldn’t be doing sales since he would of already made tons of tjem
@@abrahamagler3040 to be fair, what they said was that most bosses would want that, which I don't think is untrue
“Yeah Jim, why would an experienced soccer player like yourself duck at the very last moment??”
Charles was an ass, he had no reason to kick the ball that hard
Because you kicked the ball at my face. Why wouldn't I duck?
Martin Simard not only that, but wouldn’t that actually be good because then it would go out of bounds and go to your team instead of risking an injury and maybe not getting the ball. I don’t know if there’s a rule against that or something tho so idk
Martin Simard an experienced player would try to trap it with their chest or headbutt it for change of possession or counter attack
Will Rogers you can’t have the reflexes to intercept that lmao
Id be fed up too if I was Charles, it’s amazing they get anything done 😂
5:11 was the beginning of the end for Charles Miner. When Michael demanded that Charles be removed from overseeing the branch as part of his conditions for returning to Dunder Mifflin, I like to believe David Wallace agreed to that condition because he'd already gotten to see how wrong Charles was about Jim and Dwight. Charles tells Wallace that Jim has been a disappointment, and Wallace says, "let's bring them both in". That's Wallace's way of saying, "I still trust Jim, even if you don't."
Rundown: It's like pointing a gun at some one and making them dig their own grave. Jim's clients would be redistributed among the remaining sales staff or new hire. Charles is prepping for firing Jim.
@@doctor4961 Jim steal your fiance or what?
@@MLBlue30 lol dahsidhsu, i just hate people like Jim :v
Doctor 49 bro Jim is the only guy in the office that makes the whole show good. (Not saying the others isn’t but I think that Jim is more funnier and somehow relatable with the audience.)
Also I like your David tennant pfp ;)
@@doctor4961 Charles, is that you?
Doctor 49 i agree. He seen through Jims bullshit
The way Charles absolutely blasts that ball was just insane. If it hit Jim, it would have hurt. If it missed Phyllis, it was taking out that car window.
Maybe it was on purpose. Like no one who plays soccer would kick the ball that high.
How do you suppose they film d that scene? It looks real like they really hit Phillis and her reaction
It was a CGI soccer ball.
It was probably on purpose
If he had taken the hit, Charles would’ve said “why didn’t you just *Piccolo voice* DODGE???”
The idea of a Boss like him orchestrating an impromptu Soccer game with Office workers, many of whom are middle aged, out of shape, and have various health issues, is absolutely preposterous. 🤣
05:30
"Come along, afterthought..."
Charles: Why'd you duck, Jim?
Me: Why'd you kick as hard as you can aimed at Jim's head?
That was probably his plan the whole time
He wanted to Get Rid Of Him,
Everyone knows that The Assistant To The Regional Manager Has Alot of Power.
Taking Him out means Charles Gets All
The Power,And Him Getting All The Power,Makes him The Same Level as Manager
@@talentedbat7323 Assistant Regional Manager*
@@TheChohzenOne Assistant TO the Regional Manager
Yeah I Charles aimed in his direction but that shot wasn’t really hard and not that high either, you can see that him ducks really deep and if he would have stayed on his feet he maybe could have blocked it
"Come along, afterthought"
Hands down the best line in this😂😂😂
Nope not hands down
Not the best
Not even close
As much as I despised the Charles character, I do like when Dwight fires a bit back at Jim.
"Must be nice to get some rest from that rest" was pretty good.
i’ll prove you wrong.
*tweedle dee, tweedle dumbass.*
It’s funny how Jim was the first choice for David Wallace, the CFO. Yet Dwight says Jim is an afterthought, although Charles is lower than Wallace
Charles is one of the most realistic and done to earth characters on the show. He may seem harsh and unapproachable, but very fair and ....normal...which is a rarity in this show
Idk about that man he acted like jim was crazy to duck in the soccer game when he put all his force into that kick going straight to his upper chest, then acted like it was Jim’s fault
@@alvaroprieto6700 I agree there 100% but everything else is normal
I did find it interesting that Jim didn't know what to do about someone in charge not finding him charming or funny. But there was clear bias by Charles that he actively disliked Jim and favored Dwight bc Jim wasn't like him mentally and didn't act like a lap dog like Dwight did lol.
I’m aware of the effect i have on women
He was a great character because he truly showed how goody that entire office was, including Jim.
I had a boss/employee relationship like Jim and Charles, it was probably the worst work experience I ever had, it was consuming and stressful, the last time we saw each other the boss gave me a hug out of pity, I quit a couple months later, when it doesn't work it just doesn't work.
Charles: "What's a two-way petting zoo?"
Jim, defeated: "... You pet the animals and they pet you back."
you can't defeat someone who doesn't fight back.
So cringey, so hilarious
😅😂
I felt it was a great idea
“Aw...but you didn’t.” Jim got in the best jab between him and Charles with THAT line (embarrassing him in from of David Wallace). I remember how satisfying that moment felt the first time watching it.
I fucking hate Jim and the way he mistreat others
True
@David Garcia
Jim had some very bad habits and had some serious personal issues, and while in a real life office setting I wouldn't have minded him taking shots at a real life Dwight, it's still very unprofessional and disruptive, among other things.
Was he a BULLY? That's up to each person to decide. Was he Bullying an easy target with elaborate jokes that could occasionally be mean or very distracting? Yes, and often
Julian Tapia This is obviously Charles Minor’s burner account
Julian Tapia i wouldnt call Dwight an easy target simply bc he was susceptible to pranks. Despite being pranked on all the time, he could never be a victim of bullying with his personality. That’s one reason why the pranks were funny and harmless.
6:36 I think that’s when James Gunn came up with the idea to cast him as Bloodsport
0:20 Dwight's face of satisfaction seeing Jim scolded.
😂
This is the alternate reality where Stringer Bell got out of the drug game
Maybe he is spreading the business to Scranton
He gonna have Jim hit
Karai eh o vagazoide
I need you to hit somebody.
Who we hittin?
Michael Scott
THE Michael Scott?
that’s called market saturation, jim
Everyone seems to hate him but I love his character, it’s like the show throws you a massive curveball with actual an actual no-nonsense boss and it’s fun to see all the characters interact with the shift in dynamic
So in other words, you're not like the other girls
Exactly. It shows how much of a practical joker Jim is. Everybody else has adapted to Charles EXCEPT Jim.
Lol yeah I love the serious tone he adds and he almost adds extra awkwardness too and Jim is all extra about it too which is hilarious lmao
@@WakaWaka2468 It would be weird if he was, given his username is Magmadude
Love this character too. It's like finally a real boss who knows what he is doing 😁👍 I found Charles refreshing 😁
Wait I don’t understand something:
1. Originally the position of a #2 was made up for Dwight however during the merger of the branches Jim returned to Scranton and was offered the # 2 position. It wasn’t a fake position anymore.
2. During Christmas party Jim used his #2 powers to allow two parties
3. When Dwight handed out citations he had to hand it to his immediate superior who is Jim.
How is this position fake when Jan originally offered it to him ?
It’s Jim’s fault for not being able to explain it properly
It’s funny to remember that at the time he’s coming off a truly iconic role in the Wire so seeing him come into a situational comedy is amazing
Luckily Jim has David Wallace in his back pocket
fasho
Fr
Their basketball 1 on 1 then finding dwight on the roof cracked me up lmao.
Where's Wallace?
Charles: *Kicks a ball at someone at Mach 55, hitting someone in the face*
Also Charles: "Why would Jim do this?"
LMAo MACH 55
Charles actually gave Jim a few opportunities to prove himself and Jim just failed miserably.
Yeah this is why even if it makes you feel bad. Ask questions lol the initial disappointment for not knowing what a rundown is will fade away once you get it to him immediately.
2:22 Getting called out for playing at work 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
