I think her role in the office was good. It kept the absurdity grounded with the realism.

If you touch a hair on Stanley's head, I will burn Utica to the ground

I believe it set her up for parks and rec which was another great show.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

it was, but her character brought next to nothing to it, other than being a straightperson, which adam scott's character was already doing.

side note: adam scott's character being the literal only person who didn't "get" little sebastian makes me grin to this day when I think of it. even ron would go gaga

which adam scott's character was already doing.

Rashida was in the very first episode, Adam Scott didn't show up until season 2 or 3

huh yeah ok.. thats right he came in to do an audit(?)

honestly, when wifeo and I do a rewatch we skip season 1 entirely. it didnt know what the fuck it was yet and there was that tall person (who was, i guess supposed to be the straightperson) who they shit canned

"why would anyone ever eat anything other than breakfast foods?"

"people are idiots, leslie"

Mark Brandanowitz! I actually didn't think he was that bad. But Ben was better by a wide margin. It's hard to beat Adam Scott.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

More like Brandanquitz!

Adam Scott doesn't appear on the show until the second to last episode of season 2. There's quite a lot of character development before his appearance, and his character doesn't have a strong impact until season 3, i would say

We skip season 1 as well, but it's only like 6 episodes. Season 2 was the first full season, and was substantially better.

Are you ok? Did someone hurt you?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Whoooooooooooooosh

What's worse: self-whoosh

She was way better than Pam

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah, but the writing and acting was well done enough, that even if at the time you could separate it and make a pros cons list and tally it out, it still wouldn't have felt right because Jim was so obviously in love with Pam and not her (and sometimes that happens irl too).

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pam was unfaithful. Roy deserved better. #fuckpam

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Roy needed to grow up. I like how things turned around for him once he did.

I’ve never watched The Office before, but I still don’t like her.
