@@puppycatsbee i understand what you’re saying, but the office characters although “weird” have grown on everyone watching the show. erin joined in after a few entire seasons, so if she didn’t fit in it would be pretty noticable, whether she was normal or not. she’s just a really good character and is played really well by the actress.
Usually people tend to Michael's needs because they're being polite but Erin is in her own entire world, therefore completely defusing Michael's whole show. That's why he seems like that at first, but that's also why it opens the possibilty for him to actually open up and show the man behind the act with her
Definitely. I stopped watching in season 8 when it originally aired. Came back for the finale though. Right now I'm going all the way through the whole thing, and I remember why I stopped watching. I've pushed through it this time, but Erin stood out above probably every other character. It's kind of a shame we got so little Michael-Erin time.
Right?! Michael and Erin together were great! Their relationship worked so well because Erin’s personality already worked great with Michael and on top of that, she sees him as a father figure and that adds a lot of heart and meaning to their relationship.
You might be right but I can’t bring myself to watch any of them. I stop watching the office at the end of season 7 with the introduction of the super annoying Will Farrell. That actor is the definition of unfunny cringe despite a few good hits like Anchorman and Blades of Glory. Series should have ended with Michael Scott as everyone says.
@@KevinOnEarth_ Definitely. I actually find it a bit tough to handle anything beyond season 5 in all honesty. The "jump the shark" moment for me is Jim & Pam's wedding. There's a severe quality dip after that. And it definitely falls off a cliff when Michael leaves.
@@kastielangel. i absolutely love the first seasons. 1 through 3 is some of the finest tv to have ever been made. I'd still call it one of my favorite shows. It just rapidly deteriorates after S5 for me.
@@whyareyouhittingme That's a clever username. The jars in our kitchen tremble in fear when my wife can't get a lid open. "Oh gawd, please stop hitting me". Then there's our extra cheap giant knife set.
When Erin was first introduced, I didn't like her a ton. But by the end she was one of my favorites. The little smirk she gives after saying "really? Because your mother is dead" is too good
I love how she rates Holly’s ears as different numbers. Brilliant writing, and Ellie was a brilliant addition to the cast during one of the best story arcs ever, the Michael Scott Paper Company.
Erin is genuinely sweet natured, yet she is far from being the sharpest knife in the drawer. Her description of Gabe gets me every time, he’s a great guy but it was a challenge being touched by him
I will see a show of them for sure! ; They are talking about to do a new The office, Why not a merge of P&R and the office with the original cast???!???!!
Genuinely, can you please explain it to this confused Gen Zer? I looked it up and it said that you can only use the camera once, so why is everyone freaking out about her throwing the camera away?
@@gymnasticsgirlie0647 The cameras have a set amount of pictures it can take. Then you turn the camera into a photo development service and they develop the pics for you, and they dispose of the camera
It's funny how she's basically the Lisa Kudrow of The Office. Totally an airhead in character, but in real life Ellie Kemper is an Ivy League Princeton graduate.
Erin's character is both written and acted so well. It's rare to have a character introduced so late be so popular. There's just something so perfect about Erins introduction and character in general.
I love how Jim and Pam basically share their thoughts on babysitting from the male and female perspective. Jim's like, "All you had to do was let them play and keep them distracted for, like, thirty minutes and let them wear themselves out." Pam's like, "Your job is to protect them, make sure they don't do anything stupid, and not feed them unhealthy things like ice cream."
“My last job was at a Taco Bell express, but then it became a full Taco Bell and I don’t know, I couldn’t keep up” is a genius level joke that I think flew over a lot of heads.
I can’t tell if she’s adorably stupid or stupidly adorable. Her character annoys me at times but at others she just cracks me up. Hats off to Ellie Kemper
Erin is the best character of the entire show! Loved everything about her. she really did bring the show back to life once her character was introduced.
Filled to the brim to the point it is splashing on the carpet by merely walking. No cream, no sugar. All over her hands. Stone cold. And old (which in my world, means yesterday’s coffee). I’ll drink a cup of coffee at 3pm that I made in the morning.
2:10 she looks great in that shade of yellow. I love seeing people in clothes that flatter them I just appreciate it especially in colors I don’t get to see often especially one that’s a hard color to pull off
She's funny, but working with her would stress me out. Every time I spoke, I'd be wondering if she was being serious or if she was in the middle of a stroke that was inflicting temporary brain damage...
@@ubuedro Ejecting physical attractiveness versus Pam, then yes, Erin is the cutest, most vulnerable, the most innocent, the most relatable. The scene in season 9 where she was reunited with her birth parents made me cry, hard. I feel both Erin and myself are neurodivergent, but she had a home to return to. Myself, I have to put on a mask with my own family, I can never go home again.
@@paulohalderic2322 Thanks, I have deep empathy for Ellie’s character. Things get existential when you eventually become awake and aware to how people perceive you.
I LOVE Erin, I don't understand why some fans don't. 😅 She's funny, she's cute, she allows for the writers to get a bit goofier AND she added a great layer to Michael's own arc where he becomes this sort of dad figure for her, which got us some rly heartwarming scenes. ❤
There are other two great moments of Erin: her first halloween costume is a zombie mask and her usual clothing and the other one is her reaction when Dwight becomes manager, she celebrates a lot, she was very happy for him!
12:28 The way Erin tried to get that tag kine out is absolute perfection One of my tip favorite funny post Michael moments. Right up there with Dwight playing crickets at Gabe at Michael's last Dundees.
I really don’t know how to describe Erin. I guess in a nutshell she is a child inside the body of an adult. That’s the best description I could give her character, and that’s why she’s one of my favorite characters in The Office. Also I like the father and daughter like relationship between her and Michael.
The fact that Erin’s real name is Kelly and was just okay with forever going by her middle name instead as soon as she joined Dunder Mifflin because there was another Kelly lives in my head rent free.
i love how erin came into the show so late but fit so well. doesn’t really happen often.
Definitely didn’t happen with Val
It’s honestly easy to forget she wasn’t there from the beginning. Such a perfect character addition.
Ellie kemper did soooo well with her role. Such a unique character type that she pulls off perfectly

"Get in quick"
"Why quick"
"So it's faster..."

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist8thank you needed to hear this
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist8No thanks, also stop randomly spamming this everywhere please
absolutely my favorite Erin line 😂
I love how she goes from “I woke up” to “suddenly I was awake” 😂😂
The perfect unaware response to Robert’s condescension
Yea, that was one of my faves
"Dunder Mifflin, this is Erin."
"Don't include your name."
"Dunder Mifflin, this is."
That "Eat it, Stanley!" 😅 kills me every time
Imagine if Stanley was taking a dump and suddenly Erin yells "Eat it, Stanley!" through the door. The look on his face would've been priceless 😂😂
It reminds me of Stanley yelling at Jim saying Eat it
@Icebassh it would have probably been same look he gave when Creed became the manager and was making acronyms 😂😂
The delivery is too good.
What about the "is that all you got??!?!?!" as Andy is screeching in pain from his failed split.
Erin truly is just if a puppy were a person
there is another sitcom where she plays literally the same role too btw, dont remember the name but i recommend it
No puppy is that dumb....or annoying.

It's sweet how secretly bloodthirsty Erin can be. But that's life in the foster home I guess.
its true tho. I had a similar upbringing to her and I relate to her so much.
Robert's face when she says "I asked if you wanted a cold beverage and you said coffee" makes me bust out laughing every time
What you mean this face at 5:10
Wow, you get _that_ excited?
He doesn’t understand the greatness that is iced coffee
@@f34rthedeer61 iced coffee is different from day old room temperature coffee lmao
I can imagine Dwight thinking "Yeah, see if you can figure *her* out."
"I asked if you wanted a cold beverage and you said coffee"
perfectly reasonable explanation
Nard Dog: "I've been craving a freezing cup of old coffee"
Pams face when she says "why would you keep a baby up all night." haha, loved this show.
That line totally caught me off guard and I loved it!
I like how Michael didn't care for Erin in the beginning but towards the end when Michael left, they had a father and daughter relationship.
They seem related 😂
Erin is the kind of kid you'd need to love from a distance.
It was super sweet. Agreed.
