Season 3 was the beginning of the peak of the show in my opinion. It has some of the best story telling in the whole show and I honestly can’t think of any episode from this season that I don’t like like for some of the later seasons.
I agree. I remember buying Season 1 and 2 on DVD (I'm British so I didn't get to see it on TV). Season 1 was ok and season 2 was really good so when season 3 was available, I got it right away and to this day I feel its the season were that show went from great, to the best comedy sitcom/show ever. I was a huge fan of the British show but I was so happy they did their own thing and made it even bigger than the original.
The third season of many sitcoms is usually the peak. They usually start falling off hard after about 5 seasons. This show didn't collapse after season 5, but you started seeing cracks.
I agree that Jim used Karen but I guess I saw it as from fear, not pride. Jim continues to have feelings for Pam and even admits that to Karen. I think dating Karen was a way to keep Pam at arms length....because he didn’t want to get hurt again. Pam hurt him bad enough that he moved away and he didn’t want to move back. He wasn’t willing to take any steps towards Pam until there was no question that Pam wanted to be more than friends. Maybe he even hoped that dating Karen would blunt his feelings for Pam. But I don’t think he intentionally manipulated Karen. And the cold open of letters from the future is one of my faves.
When Creed says he paid to use the bathroom he later has a talking head moment and says "... I've paid dearly...." in reference to using the ladies room. Implying that he's paid in the sense of being caught and "paying dearly" for it.
"I like to go in the women's room for number two. I've been caught several times and I have paid dearly" -creed I don't think he literally pays anybody, I think he is saying he got his ass kicked
@@kamenriderblackman4426 Its weird what notifications I get and what I don't. Thanks for the comment! I actually did a video with 10k Productions about Andy; check it out - ua-cam.com/video/SElqm6a9-SI/v-deo.html
I Really wish they would’ve kept Karen as part of the show and gave her more stories throughout the series. Rashida killed it and (Hot Take) I like Karen better than Pam. Not that I don’t like Pam but They made her a boring character once she got with Jim. They Should’ve had Karen get the corporate job instead of Ryan. That way they don’t ruin Ryan’s character and Karen gets fleshed out and can still interact with the rest of the show. Imagine the interactions with Karen and Jim, Karen and Pam, Maybe Ryan would shoot his shot for Karen now that Jim’s out of the way. It would’ve been awesome. The awkward Comedic moments are what this Show is for, This was the perfect opportunity.
Dude you gaining a hundred sub a month or so now, this is amazing, i remember when u were well under 100 subs; you're still as entertaining as you were back then. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I remembered you tried to share it out on Reddit. The last month's been a little slow as far as subscribers, but still a good pace and things are growing. So I'm good with it. Thanks so much for sticking with me!
Provençal Le Gaulois hell yeah man. Pretty soon he’s gonna blow up. The best part for us is that we get to see the transformation! He definitely deserves it.
I would say Season 5 is the greatest season for me. It had Stress Relief, Andy and Dwight's duel, Michael Scott paper company episodes, Company picnic. Idk these story arcs were great
When Michael arrives just in time to save Pam's sense of worth in Business School, demonstrating that while he may not know business he knows how to value people (sometimes). And people never go out of business.
It’s crazy that Andy’s hole punch isn’t even an honorable mention for the best bits. I know a lot of people hate Andy, but that moment is my wife’s favorite moment, and definitely my all time favorite Andy moment, and top ten all time moments in the office
travelling salesman is actually one of my favorites. its my go-to when i don't know what to watch. i like how the writers worked hard to have interactions between characters that didn't interact all that much. I also love all the scenes that take place outside of the office...Seeing these characters who are usually in this bubble of the office , out and interacting with the real world. Like when dwight is at staples, and pam and angela go to the coffee shop, jim and pam in the rite aid, etc. It's gold.
I really like when Michael said "I'll be back" (arnold schwarzenegger) to Pam when she tried to convince him to work on Pretzel day. That "I'll be back" gets me every time!!
Best post-class de-stresser ? A run? Nah. New Mulverine video? Yessir! Thanks for the great content, and of course, the obligatory comment: keep up the good work my man!
I always interpreted that Creed pays for the women's bathroom with things other than money.. maybe he's done time in jail for it, maybe he's been banned from places, maybe he's been labeled a creep.. I don't think creed has cash to actually pay someone.. I think he pays in other ways..
@@Mulverine it's mashable.com I put the link up top but if it won't open for you, all I typed into Google was "was Ed Truck decapitated?" & it was the first article that popped up
Creed isn't paying money to use the women's restroom, he's paying by getting beaten up for using it. He says and I quote "I have been caught using the women's restroom several times and I have paid dearly for it" implying that he's getting beaten up for it. And when Erin sees him and acknowledges him being there is just because she's so sweet and awkward that she doesn't seem to know better.
Initially I'd say he was a good add but as Ed Helms got busier with his filming schedule and Andy disappeared for periods at a time they should have just written him out instead of making him hang on to the end.
He was one of my favorite characters, but I don't think he should've become a "main" character. Even in seasons 4-7 I thought he had a bit too much screen time, but it was too much andy in season 8 and 9
I had a thought about why Jim turned down Pam’s coffee invitation: Jim is a good guy He was in a relationship with Karen. He was faithful to her. Going on even a coffee date with Pam would not be a decent thing to do. Especially since Karen had no clue, yet, how Jim felt towards Pam. He did the right thing. He was a decent guy ETA: I just now realized that this thread is from 4 years ago! Oops! Never mind
Like I said before, Season 3 is hard for me to watch because Jim and Pam barely have any positive interactions and I can't stand seeing Pam sad, my heart just can't take it. But I absolutely love the 3-4 last episodes of this season. Might be one of the best ending to a season. Definitely one of the most iconic.
I dont want see pam sad too , but s3 is my favorite because pam is my fav character and this season is about pam and her character development in this season is problaby the best ever
I dont want see pam sad too , but s3 is my favorite because pam is my fav character and this season is about pam and her character development in this season is problaby the best ever
Pam's character is played so well by Jenna Fischer that you ache in the many scenes of this season where she pines for Jim. When he walks in the door and asks her out it made the whole season complete. I liked Karen character but Jim and Pam are gold together and as believable a couple I have seen on a TV show. Pam's impish grin and big smile ALONE is worth watching the show.
I like the character of Karen, but I think they tried to do a very-last-minute heel-turn with her so we wouldn't feel bad that Jim dumps her unceremoniously offscreen. All of a sudden in the final episodes she's passive aggressive towards Pam, calls her a b*tch behind her back, and gives Michael really harmful relationship advice with Jan. I think it's a copout to make her a "bad guy" when the story should've just been that she and Jim just weren't right for each other.
Ryan has bad luck everytime he break up with kelly, micheal scott calls useless meetings so that the employees work harder(thats what she said) because they wasted so much time so that’s why they didn’t get downsized in season 1. Tbh i really dont know i just woke up and had this idea
The Job is my Favorite of the Series of How Impactful it was to the Series Storywise. Although i get why Gay witch hunt is considered the best, The Job gets me always emotionally.
business school is up there...i think its one of the greatest three plot structured 22 minute episode of t.v. in history..there are 3 plots and they are all great which is rare to pull off well let alone in 22 minutes...i never liked c plots but the c plot in this episode is pam's art show so...the fact we had no idea mike would show up makes the reveal so amazing that he did cause there are no hints that he even knows about it or remembers...he just shows up with no foreshadowing
@@dgxkeyboards4535 its unfair to put the job over business school or gay witch hunt the coup beach games or even travelling salesman(although technically I guess part 1 of a 2 part story needed to be seen at once as well its not really cause theres no part 1 next to it and the next episode has its own title/name and has sorta time skipped and put a main character in a new space so) cause its a 2 parter so you have to grade each part on their own not together..obviously as a finale and with 43 minutes they get to tell more jokes/story then the other eps...i don't think either part of the job is a top 5 individual episode of the season...i think gay witch hunt business school travelling salesman the coup and beach games are the best 5 eps of the season....
I think that the trauma of Jim being rejected by Pam at the end of season 2 was the reason it took so long for him to come back to her. Karen was a great match for Jim unlike how Roy was a terrible match for Pam in Season 2, but in the end, Jim will ALWAYS come back to Pam no matter what. He genuinely loves her more than anything else, but has times (Karen, Athlead) that he seems to concentrate on other things in his life that gives him happiness. That said, he always comes back to Pam. What a great story arc, perhaps the best, most realistic and layered love stories in TV history that will keep you guessing. It comes to a climax with Season 3 so I would not argue with someone if they believe season 3 is the best season. The only reason I have not declared that is the best season is that I have not decided yet. Season 2 was great as well, and watching the aftermath of Jim and Pam finally getting together in season 4 was a beautiful payoff and led to a growth in their relationship, every step of the way, for the following 5 seasons. I am still reticent to declaring any specific season as the best, but it is definitely between Seasons 2,3 and 4. That was when the show was at its very best.
I know there are some who are critical of Pam and dont want her with Jim. They live in a different world than I and of course feel the way they do for whatever reason. We all have our way of seeing things. The Office to me is brilliant comedy for the most part and could get by without the love story of Pam and Jim. But for me this story is the anchor of the first 4 seasons. It makes all the comedy and chaos acceptable as you always have this truly real poignant love story as the bedrock so that there is that great jolt of emotion that can break your heart or have it soar amid the gut laughing. And it is so subtle. Jenna and John are so great in these roles. I only started watching this show on Netflix and heard about it for years. I was not prepared for this couple as was watching for the zaniness of Steve C and the many good reviews I had heard from its many fans. From the time I saw the FIRST interaction between Pam and Jim I KNEW this would be the hook for me. Of course I laughed out loud many times each show but the interaction between these two that is so subtle and real in all their scenes made me think this is not a relationship we have seen on TV before. I felt this is what really happens between two people when the sparks ignite but they are not free to act on it. Just the eye contact alone sells their chemistry and the scenes where she looks at his yearbook pic or she picks the teapot and gets the extra bonus gifts are so tender and real. I could not even conceive of this show without them together. I am in season 5 early on at present and the humor is still there but the show is like Xmas eve without snow without Pam. I know people will say who cares as her part is irrelevant now as her and Jim are together. I still need that anchor in the show and Jenna/ Pam provides that for me. I havent read the anti -Pam stuff out there and probably wont as makes no sense to me. Her character has always been one that is classy and sweet. And I love her speech at the beach that night telling the world how she felt about Jim. She went for it and we know Jim was moved not horrified. She stayed with Roy and broke Jim's heart because of duty. She was settling and knew it but the ring meant a committment for her. Jim may have been able to have a life with Karen but didnt need to settle as Pam was free and wanted him. And the heart doesnt lie. I will always root for these two and I thank the writers and actors for providing me with a relationship I could argue is the most genuine and sweet I have viewed on TV. That could change in a month or two but today they are golden in my mind
@@jerilane4420 I agree wholeheartedly! I won't give you any spoilers because you are just at season 5, but Jim and Pam's relationship will continue to grow in interesting ways. You are so right about the hatred that Pam has gotten by people, I never understood it. I know that she isn't perfect but she gets so much vitriol and I think it's unfair. Although I love the show for many reasons, the Jim and Pam story is definitely my favorite part. It is so true that their relationship is filled with subtlety and realism.
The best from up to down In my opinion is: Season 5 Season 8 Season 3 Season 2 Season 4 Season 6 Season 7 Season 9 Season 1 Not saying the bottom ones are bad I still love them
Curious question: numerous times you state that you want to fit as much info as you can into as little time as possible. You often comment on trying to save time. Respectfully, may I ask why? Do you have a work/editing/ other reason you strive to keep your videos short? I know 10-15 minutes is kind of the UA-cam "sweet spot" for content, but I have to say: with your format, your presentation, your insights.... I would absolutely listen and watch if your videos ran longer. We Office fans LOVE discussing and dissecting the show, and I don't think I'm alone in saying that you shouldn't put unnecessary pressure on yourself to keep these vids short. If you have a theory, a curiosity, an idea, whatever- share it! We watch you because whether or not we personally agree with everything you say, we enjoy having the outlet to share insights and hear others. Ironically, I'm sorry for the LONG comment!😂
At some point in Season 4 I said screw it, and I'll just not worry about the length. So marching order from here on out is a field guide is as long as that episode deserves. If there's tons to talk about, I'll probably talk about it.
@@Mulverine good to know! Like I said, I'd much prefer you share insights and ideas freely with no concern for time. We subscribers and patrons are here to watch and listen to you! We wanna hear what you have to say!
Way back in 2008 I had my first apartment. I finally figured out how to get internet access to my awesome xbox 360 through an ethernet cable and started streaming instead of waiting for DVDs in the mail. Gay witch hunt was the first episode I've ever seen and I was hooked. Definitely on my top 10 funniest
I understand the michael/oscar kiss.. but in all of my research I can't find that they only kissed once and it was a one take thing.. all I'm saying is improvised doesn't mean done in only one take.. maybe not, but that's how i view it
I think they did multiple takes, but I think the one where everyone’s shocked reactions was the one they were hoping they could use. As that moment was so unexpected.
@@Mulverine no jenna admits their reactions were not on first take cause all they did was laugh so i am sure the kiss we see is not the first take either ....i feel their reactions are not to the kiss...they probably could never hold it together so they filmed random reactions later on and had the kiss be its own moment just between two people
I always liked season 3 but I found the merging of the scranton and stamford branches too convenient, I think that's when the show started to lose touch with reality.
9:31 what kept Jim from jumping at Pam's coffee date proposal? The fact he had a girlfriend. I mean, he did later too when he left her for Pam. BFD, engaged aint married and he wasn't even engaged. But it's still not nothing to be in a relationship (she did move crom Connecticut for him, after all). When Pam sorta admittrd her feeling for him at the beach games, that was a bomb. She dropped a bomb on him. Something big like that can be jarring enough to change things. Something casual and vague like going out for coffee is not a bomb.
I have weird feelings on Superstore. I love that they have a character in a wheelchair and I find it pretty funny, but I just found Jonah and Amy were so unlikable
I never liked Andy. I don't like the actor either. He should never have become a regular. He's very unappealing. But maybe that's why it worked out for him on the The Office. It must've taken him a long time to find a job as an actor. So he must be very persistent. I suppose that adds to his unappeal.
Damn okay. I think he’s okay. I didn’t LOVE his character but I don’t think he’s unappealing and due to how successful his career has been I doubt it took him so long to find a job.
I think when Andy found out about dwight and Angela he should have tried to kill angela and then got fired and arrested and left the show. Angela wouldn’t die though lol
Jim should have been with Karen. Karen made him better. When he got with Pam, he gradually became worse. His life became stagnant. Look at Roy. He became better when Pam left him. Pam is toxic and she only wanted Jim when he wasn’t available.
Season 3 was the beginning of the peak of the show in my opinion. It has some of the best story telling in the whole show and I honestly can’t think of any episode from this season that I don’t like like for some of the later seasons.

It's heavily implied that Toby's date to Phyllis' wedding is an escort, so that's what I always assumed.

business school is up there...i think its one of the greatest three plot structured 22 minute episode of t.v. in history..there are 3 plots and they are all great which is rare to pull off well let alone in 22 minutes...i never liked c plots but the c plot in this episode is pam's art show so...the fact we had no idea mike would show up makes the reveal so amazing that he did cause there are no hints that he even knows about it or remembers...he just shows up with no foreshadowing
@@razkable Well They are lots of Episodes that Could be Considered the Best Either for the Story or Comedy.
@@dgxkeyboards4535 its unfair to put the job over business school or gay witch hunt the coup beach games or even travelling salesman(although technically I guess part 1 of a 2 part story needed to be seen at once as well its not really cause theres no part 1 next to it and the next episode has its own title/name and has sorta time skipped and put a main character in a new space so) cause its a 2 parter so you have to grade each part on their own not together..obviously as a finale and with 43 minutes they get to tell more jokes/story then the other eps...i don't think either part of the job is a top 5 individual episode of the season...i think gay witch hunt business school travelling salesman the coup and beach games are the best 5 eps of the season....
@@razkable i dont think its unfair to claim you like one episode over the other, There Just Opinions.
HANDS DOWN MY FAV SEASON
I think that the trauma of Jim being rejected by Pam at the end of season 2 was the reason it took so long for him to come back to her. Karen was a great match for Jim unlike how Roy was a terrible match for Pam in Season 2, but in the end, Jim will ALWAYS come back to Pam no matter what. He genuinely loves her more than anything else, but has times (Karen, Athlead) that he seems to concentrate on other things in his life that gives him happiness. That said, he always comes back to Pam. What a great story arc, perhaps the best, most realistic and layered love stories in TV history that will keep you guessing. It comes to a climax with Season 3 so I would not argue with someone if they believe season 3 is the best season. The only reason I have not declared that is the best season is that I have not decided yet. Season 2 was great as well, and watching the aftermath of Jim and Pam finally getting together in season 4 was a beautiful payoff and led to a growth in their relationship, every step of the way, for the following 5 seasons. I am still reticent to declaring any specific season as the best, but it is definitely between Seasons 2,3 and 4. That was when the show was at its very best.
I know there are some who are critical of Pam and dont want her with Jim. They live in a different world than I and of course feel the way they do for whatever reason. We all have our way of seeing things. The Office to me is brilliant comedy for the most part and could get by without the love story of Pam and Jim. But for me this story is the anchor of the first 4 seasons. It makes all the comedy and chaos acceptable as you always have this truly real poignant love story as the bedrock so that there is that great jolt of emotion that can break your heart or have it soar amid the gut laughing. And it is so subtle. Jenna and John are so great in these roles. I only started watching this show on Netflix and heard about it for years. I was not prepared for this couple as was watching for the zaniness of Steve C and the many good reviews I had heard from its many fans. From the time I saw the FIRST interaction between Pam and Jim I KNEW this would be the hook for me. Of course I laughed out loud many times each show but the interaction between these two that is so subtle and real in all their scenes made me think this is not a relationship we have seen on TV before. I felt this is what really happens between two people when the sparks ignite but they are not free to act on it. Just the eye contact alone sells their chemistry and the scenes where she looks at his yearbook pic or she picks the teapot and gets the extra bonus gifts are so tender and real. I could not even conceive of this show without them together. I am in season 5 early on at present and the humor is still there but the show is like Xmas eve without snow without Pam. I know people will say who cares as her part is irrelevant now as her and Jim are together. I still need that anchor in the show and Jenna/ Pam provides that for me. I havent read the anti -Pam stuff out there and probably wont as makes no sense to me. Her character has always been one that is classy and sweet. And I love her speech at the beach that night telling the world how she felt about Jim. She went for it and we know Jim was moved not horrified. She stayed with Roy and broke Jim's heart because of duty. She was settling and knew it but the ring meant a committment for her. Jim may have been able to have a life with Karen but didnt need to settle as Pam was free and wanted him. And the heart doesnt lie. I will always root for these two and I thank the writers and actors for providing me with a relationship I could argue is the most genuine and sweet I have viewed on TV. That could change in a month or two but today they are golden in my mind
@@jerilane4420 I agree wholeheartedly! I won't give you any spoilers because you are just at season 5, but Jim and Pam's relationship will continue to grow in interesting ways. You are so right about the hatred that Pam has gotten by people, I never understood it. I know that she isn't perfect but she gets so much vitriol and I think it's unfair. Although I love the show for many reasons, the Jim and Pam story is definitely my favorite part. It is so true that their relationship is filled with subtlety and realism.
@@theodorerosen8854 Season 5 is a hard slog now as no Pam in Scranton is tough.
@@jerilane4420 I won't say anything much but it gets better, got a great ending
how is IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE JIM MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SUFFER EVERY YEAR not in the top 5
i meant the top 5 funniest lines/jokes
I thought the woman Toby brought to the wedding was implied to be some kind of escort? I might’ve totally made that up.
Lazy Scranton is life!
Who is Stanley's 15:20 date???
The best from up to down In my opinion is:
Season 5

Curious question: numerous times you state that you want to fit as much info as you can into as little time as possible. You often comment on trying to save time. Respectfully, may I ask why? Do you have a work/editing/ other reason you strive to keep your videos short? I know 10-15 minutes is kind of the UA-cam "sweet spot" for content, but I have to say: with your format, your presentation, your insights.... I would absolutely listen and watch if your videos ran longer. We Office fans LOVE discussing and dissecting the show, and I don't think I'm alone in saying that you shouldn't put unnecessary pressure on yourself to keep these vids short. If you have a theory, a curiosity, an idea, whatever- share it! We watch you because whether or not we personally agree with everything you say, we enjoy having the outlet to share insights and hear others.
Ironically, I'm sorry for the LONG comment!😂
At some point in Season 4 I said screw it, and I'll just not worry about the length. So marching order from here on out is a field guide is as long as that episode deserves. If there's tons to talk about, I'll probably talk about it.
@@Mulverine good to know! Like I said, I'd much prefer you share insights and ideas freely with no concern for time. We subscribers and patrons are here to watch and listen to you! We wanna hear what you have to say!
16:12 "You are out of your damn little pea-sized mind..."
Way back in 2008 I had my first apartment. I finally figured out how to get internet access to my awesome xbox 360 through an ethernet cable and started streaming instead of waiting for DVDs in the mail. Gay witch hunt was the first episode I've ever seen and I was hooked. Definitely on my top 10 funniest
I understand the michael/oscar kiss.. but in all of my research I can't find that they only kissed once and it was a one take thing.. all I'm saying is improvised doesn't mean done in only one take.. maybe not, but that's how i view it
I think they did multiple takes, but I think the one where everyone’s shocked reactions was the one they were hoping they could use. As that moment was so unexpected.
Sooooooo then maybe the reactions weren't genuine... I doubt any of those reactions were from the original improvisation...
Who knows. I’m pretty sure they’ve all said those were the genuine reactions. But it’s the biz, so who knows.
@@Mulverine no jenna admits their reactions were not on first take cause all they did was laugh so i am sure the kiss we see is not the first take either ....i feel their reactions are not to the kiss...they probably could never hold it together so they filmed random reactions later on and had the kiss be its own moment just between two people
Haven't watched yet, but yes.
"More better"
K, Mac
I thought Kevin was implying that Toby's date was actually an escort.
I always liked season 3 but I found the merging of the scranton and stamford branches too convenient, I think that's when the show started to lose touch with reality.
HOW was the Gay Witch Hunt kiss not ranked in the most cringeworthy moments?
Jim should have stayed with Karen. Pam was holding him back.
9:31 what kept Jim from jumping at Pam's coffee date proposal?
The fact he had a girlfriend.
I mean, he did later too when he left her for Pam. BFD, engaged aint married and he wasn't even engaged. But it's still not nothing to be in a relationship (she did move crom Connecticut for him, after all).
When Pam sorta admittrd her feeling for him at the beach games, that was a bomb. She dropped a bomb on him. Something big like that can be jarring enough to change things. Something casual and vague like going out for coffee is not a bomb.
Season 3 is definitely great, but 4 is easily my favorite season.
I have weird feelings on Superstore. I love that they have a character in a wheelchair and I find it pretty funny, but I just found Jonah and Amy were so unlikable
Karen deserved better from him her boyfriend and Pam her " friend" .
I think Season 7 is the best but 3 is a close 2nd
Oh wow, S7! That's a good one. What's your favorite episode?
Mulverine Threat Level Midnight of course 😂
@@ish9506 that’s honestly my fav episode of the whole show
I disagree with the cringe one. The most cringe one was when Michel went up at the wedding and put cake on his face. Just to cringe 😬
Paul liberstein has his real wife play his date to Phyllis wedding
Even though it was not in this season. Scotts Tots should have gotten most cringe worthy. It was so cringe it bleeds into other seasons
Season 4 is the best
Season 6
Superstore is good
I never liked Andy. I don't like the actor either. He should never have become a regular. He's very unappealing. But maybe that's why it worked out for him on the The Office. It must've taken him a long time to find a job as an actor. So he must be very persistent. I suppose that adds to his unappeal.
Damn okay. I think he’s okay. I didn’t LOVE his character but I don’t think he’s unappealing and due to how successful his career has been I doubt it took him so long to find a job.
I love Andy. But I don't really like Ed Helms (the actor), he seems a bit annoying
Feild
I think Andy dating a high schooler was the most cringe
IMO Scott's Tots and Toby touching Pam's leg was way worse 😉
@@kamilbochen6351 those weren’t season 3 moments though…
@@disableddanny96 oh yeah right, soo maybe right in this bro 🙂
17:15 that's what she said
'THERE'S NO TIME!!!" lol
Superstore is a show I watch but I don’t get why. I literally can’t stand any of the characters.
Is Season 3 the Greatest Season of the Office?
The best comedy season of all time in my opinion
It’s 2nd, You just can’t beat S2
I like season 3 but I think 4 and 5 were better.
season 3 is my favorite followed by season 2.
Yes but 4 is a close 2nd
Andy’s the worst character in the show. The more times I rewatch, the more I dislike him
I think when Andy found out about dwight and Angela he should have tried to kill angela and then got fired and arrested and left the show. Angela wouldn’t die though lol
Nah that's too brutal and batshit crazy lmaooo
@@revolzyy idk why I wrote that LOL I just hate andy
@@themost8352 I don't hate Andy but I don't like the actor that plays him, Ed helms
Jim should have been with Karen. Karen made him better. When he got with Pam, he gradually became worse. His life became stagnant. Look at Roy. He became better when Pam left him. Pam is toxic and she only wanted Jim when he wasn’t available.
The things you find odd I find normal.
3 episodes into season 3 and I've not laughed once?? Season 2 was so good as well.. Am I missing something?
