Charles was kind of a dick to Jim for no reason at the picnic with the hardly working poo poo but Charles is still probably better than everyone in that Office anyway so he kind of gets a pass on that one

Charles was a kiss rear end but he was right about everything in the Scranton branch.

He does put Kevin as receptionist and make Stanley the productivity guy, while immediately getting on Jim before he did any real bad Jim things, so I think they were trying to make him seem like a bad judge of character guy.

All of management at Dunder Mifflin is terrible, either completely clueless or totally unfit for the job they're placed into. David Wallace was probably the most competent leader they showed, and even he hired Ryan as a replacement for Jan.

Yeah you can bag on Jim or Andy or Gabe but I'll be damned if I'll sit here and watch you try to rehab Charles

Charles was a straight man. He lived in the real world and played by its rules instead of the Office cinematic universe. That was originally David Wallace’s role but even he got sucked in

If you walked into an office and a dude was wearing a tuxedo you'd instantly know something was up with him. If your next major interaction was asking him to perform a task, him assuring you he could do it, and then him not doing it? You'd rightfully consider him a pain in the rear end to work with.

Von Pluring posted:Gabe was just the worst. While he was dating that Kimmy Schmidt receptionist, who thought she was obliged to date her boss, they were playing Wordfeud or something like that, and since he always won he got to choose what movie they were gonna watch together. And he always picked horror movies, which she hated. What a jerk. But Zach Woods is hilarious and should have been given the boss role after Steve Carrel left. He probably left the show to go do Silicon Valley though so it all worked out.

The worst parts of The Office for me is every time Andy is singing. He was a pretty fun character back when he had anger issues, and then they found out that Ed Helms can sort of sing, so they had to constantly write that into the show.

Andy on the episode(s) with Jim and Karen at the other office location was painfully good his character being so annoying that it drove a Jim and Karen together was done well, we’ve all known someone like that Andy back in Scranton started strong but as the show broadened into a caricature of itself he got lost in the shuffle a bit

Heh, yeah maybe. It would have been okay if he was just singing once in a while, but every other episode? Count me out. I'm on the Robert California episodes right now during my rewatch, and he's actually a lot of fun. I'm actually enjoying season 8 episodes, wtf

The simple brilliance of a con man assuming the name Robert California should not be overlooked.

Andy would have been a much better character if his last scene in the show was when he raged at Jim’s cell phone prank and punched a hole through the wall.

Maybe with an appearance near the end of the show in a Legion of Doom situation against Jim, teamed up with Dwight, Roy, Charles Miner, Karen, and that guy Jim bullied in school.

I remember assuming that his wall punch was the completion of his character arc and he would be gone from the show after that and I was disappointed when he wasn’t.

When the warehouse workers hit the lotto, they all won something like $150k a piece (before taxes, I'm pretty sure). Yet they all act as if they'll never have to work another day in their lives.

A guy won $200,000 and told his boss he quit, then a month later he was back because he spent almost all of the money. I think the initial thrill of "oh my god, that's like 5 years of my salary all at once!" can really mess with you.
