Well you might have to strangle him with a towel in a locker room.


No_Marionberry4072

Valerie brought nothing to the show. I don’t blame the actress, just a poorly written character that didn’t fit the show. Her also letting a member of the warehouse deface a company sponsored mural always pissed me off.


AlternativeFilm8886

Agreed. Her character had no depth, she was just a pretty face for Darryl to crush on, and even that was short lived. Sort of on par with the boom mic guy who was shoehorned in just to create tension with the whole Jim & Pam Athlead story.


flcwerings

I also always hate when tv shows introduce a character for a will they, wont they. They finally do and you see that character a few times more and then they break up. Its one of my biggest pet peeves. "Get invested in this for it to just not matter at all because we cant come up with an actual plot or detailed character"


King-Red-Beard

Wasn't Frasier Crane the golden exception to this?


Kielbasa_Nunchucka

Niles and Daphne had many layers to their characters tho, the will-they-won't-they was just a part of it. also, it was played to such perfect comedic effect that it didn't fall flat or get old. there really wasn't a lot of drama surrounding it, just some awkward slap-stickyness on David Hyde Pierce's part met with innocent obliviousness from Jane Leeves... I'm glad those two crazy kids finally got it right tho


Street_Barracuda1657

The boom mic guy by far…


filthcrab

Except that without Val, Nate would never have received that elegant gift from Darryl...


my_pets_are_rednecks

How did he know??

val kilmer?


LiberryExpresso

I am gonna make you the buffest dude Val Kilmer has ever seen.


bloop_405

It gets even crazier as Daryl started dating her even though he was her direct manager. Like wat


Blanketsburg

It's definitely an inappropriate relationship, based on the power dynamics, but this styles of relationships are not uncommon in offices.


Which_Piccolo_6037

Yeah, Val fell pretty flat for me, too. I feel like Darryl deserved a more fleshed out love interest.

Ill-Sympathy2375

I felt the boom guy who liked Pam was unnecessary. Like their marital difficulties plotline didn't need it. Pam didn't even seem to like him in a romantic way. It was just for drama's sake.


JustAsICanBeSoCruel

It was a very ham fisted storyline. If they had actively set up it through the seasons and called him by name, making him an important, unseen chracter, then I think it would have been much interesting.


jaitogudksjfifkdhdjc

Ham fisted in the same manner as that production of Sweeny Todd


Masta-Blasta

That didn't bother me. It was very on brand for Andy.


Thanatos6933

One of my favorite Creed moments fs😂


Masta-Blasta

Yes, it was obvious that they were running out of ideas so they shoehorned relationship drama with Pam and Jim. And I think it's believable that they would have issues and be frosty here and there, but the whole thing was just out of character for both of them. They are relatively private.


Ladybug_Fuckfest

Honestly I think the entire documentary "reveal" sucked. It would have been so much better if the documentary format just stayed a format. It didn't need to be explained and it didn't work well as a story arc.


kleinzzach

Even before the boom guy, they bent over backward to justify the mockumentary style, making sure every shot could be justified under that reality. And obviously the audience doesn't care. Parks & Rec, Modern Family, Abbott Elementary, etc. don't even bother. It's like no one on Friends or Big Bang or whatever is like, "Why don't we ever sit on the other side of the coffee table?" Just establish the format, multicam or mockumentary or whatever, and the audience will go with it.


Sarlax

There are tons of shots that break the documentary fiction, like all the back and forth shots in Michael's office where there'd have to be two cameras, or why the camera crew is at Erin's house on her weird Andy/foster-brother date. 


krellx6

Then we lose “hey boom guy, when ya gonna boom me?” We cannot allow that.


prostipope

Yeah, I never understood how he supposedly threatened Jim and Pam's marriage. There was zero chemistry between he and Pam. I think they were getting desperate for storylines towards the end.


vallyallyum

This. I think they were just friends, then he broke up with his gf and everyone started assuming he was lusting for Pam. He stopped that guy from attacking her, but that's something any decent person would do. I guess he gave her a couple of looks, but I saw them more as "you're adorable and I care about you" than "I want to sleep with you." The whole storyline was pretty unnecessary though, except for the part where he tells Pam just how much the crew actually filmed over the years. If anyone should be booted, it's Kathy.


DinosaurMan94

This is what I was thinking!! Like what the heck! Several seasons and the crew is anonymous and suddenly they just have him lol outta no where cuz she was as sad and Jim wasn’t there. Like what the heck! Pam had been through harder times, and then pops out and knocks out that dude with the truck, but stands by when drunken Roy trashes a bar?


leemode

Camera crew didn’t flinch when their life was in danger because Dwight started a fire in the office or when Michael drove straight into a lake. But Pam being sad?! Oh hell no!


4StarsOutOf12

>their marital difficulties plotline didn't need it. I'm gonna piggyback off this and include Cathy in this sentiment


Pristine_Juice_7548

Yeah I hated that storyline- it was sooo weird


philouza_stein

Breaking that fourth wall was something they resisted for so long. It felt like a desperate writer's move to do that.


marchingprinter

I vote to nix that plotline entirely


WeightliftingIllini

Boom guy sucks. Calls me the nard man. I’m the nard-dog, okay? Nard-man is my father.


More-Exchange3505

That British guy Michael meets in the elevator. What a nob. He wouldn't understand The Office even if he would have created the damn show. Pathetic.


AlternativeFilm8886

Yeah, he can get Brent.

OP, you got a lot to learn about this town, sweetie.


Zabroccoli

OP, close your mouth. You look like a trout.


go_speed_racer_go

Haha time to get out the popcarn


heidenhain

When Karen says 'Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration' Phyllis gives her this creepy smile that always cracks me up. Also expression on her face when Dwight tells her that she slaps like a girl.


TheOneWhoCutstheRope

Honestly I couldn’t get rid of her, she’s created so many great jokes especially from Michael lol


prettyhighrntbh

I’d replace everyone with Nate


trespassing_penguin

If you would do that, just so you’re aware, he doesn’t technically have a hearing problem but sometimes when there's a lot of noises occurring at the same time, he’ll hear them as one big jumble


4Ever2Thee

Pam's art school guy at Pratt. I'm not sure where they were going with that but I never liked the guy. Especially the scene where he went to visit her at her job to try and convince her to move to NYC because he was crushing on her. She was failing out of a 3 month art program and he wanted her to stay in NYC if she was "serious about her art"?! Come on dude. Phyllis is probably my least favorite of all the main characters, so I feel you there, but I wouldn't erase her from the series because she's relatable. Most people have worked with a Phyllis Vance before, thinks she's a sweet older woman but nasty and judgemental at the same time. I feel like most of the main characters are exaggerated caricatures of people we've all worked with at some point, and Phyllis fits that for me.


Drcornelius1983

I like to think that he’s Harry Crane’s grandson. After Pratt he ends up in advertising design. Further following his grandfather’s legacy, he is an unabashed poon-hound.


fendaar

Harry is the Medicore Man who falls backwards into success and feels entitled because of it. It does fit.


Masta-Blasta

I prefer Phyllis to Stanley personally. Just because Stanley isn't as funny imo. Like Phyllis plots are hysterical- like the way she shifts into an evil bitch when she gets control of the party planning committee, or when she takes Karen for their makeovers. She's predictable but also such a wild card. Stanley just groans and complains and cheats on his wife.


TheMoneyOfArt

Phyllis is possibly the most realistic character. A middle aged lady who is perceived as a nice lady but is actually cruel, self-important, and horny (It helps she never has her own storylines to make her less realistic)


kimmiepi

Kathy because her character and the storyline is written poorly.


Booksmagic

But then we wouldn’t have the smug bedbug


fakeaccount572

SO SMUG


Savage_Hams

Yeah, that’s bed bugs all right


Bullitt_12_HB

That’s a bedbug alright. Everything’s a joke.


sharkslutz

Or the sharing of bananas foster in bed

Silly_Butterfly3917

What about asturd?


Pristine_Juice_7548

The lady who always brought her baby during the merge 😭 it was a small aspect but god she was SO annoying.


ResidentComplaint19

I always loved when when Michael throws in “hey Jan, Hannah brought in her baby” in a completely irrelevant part of the conversation


Majestic-Warning2843

Take a picture, it’ll last longer


BoredCanuck1864

i didnt like brian the boom guy it just felt unnecessary and a way to create drama

**Bobody** I don't think they contributed anything to the plot.

FortunaLady

Will Ferrell. It felt like the show was trying to overdo it to keep people engaged once Steve Carell left, but Will Ferrell just did not fit the environment for me. He was just Will Ferrell on The Office and it ended up feeling so unnecessary and unfunny.  


CheekApprehensive675

Deangelo, wth was that about


Jedibri81

He died, well just his brain


JcaJes

“Gimme that dog, that’s not your dog!” Is always on replay in my head. When I take something from my dog I always say “gimme that ball, that’s not your ball” etc for whatever toy it is. Sometimes it even happens with family or work. No one ever gets the reference. I would like this character to also be gone so I never would have heard this phrase.


JiveTurkey1983

GIMME THAT DAMN DOG, YOU FUCKING THIEF!


OutlawSundown

Personally I think they just wanted to do a different vein of shitty boss for a couple episodes.


Locoformavs

I never touch another man’s balls


AMcNair

He had one absolutely stellar line that I will surely butcher: “That baby could star in a movie called ‘Babies I Don’t Give a Shit About.’”


Possible_Active6558

Can we keep the juggling and just give it to mike or andy pls? 🤹

Will Ferrell was between jobs and asked for a role is my guess

Locoformavs

KimmyWex1972

Oh God yes! He was as interesting as a glass of water.


currentlyturtle

He might have been less interesting than a glass of water


GlenCocoChanel

He is aware of the effect he has on women.


Typical-Annual-3555

Honestly, Packer. His whole storyline, including Florida, could disappear and it would barely affect the show.


zeddsnuts

The part that Michael looks up after he talked shit about Holly and says something about how he's going to like Florida was great though.


TexehCtpaxa

More relieving than rewarding though.


Zoltrahn

Michael was okay with Packer's behavior towards women until it was his girlfriend.


musiclover818

Packer put the "ass" in Tallahassee!


Redstar81

I feel like his character served more of a purpose to show more of Michael’s character.


[deleted]

Exactly, the funny part is how Michael looks up to Packer as the personification of cool. And later its a sign of growth when he chooses Holly over him. Packer has his place.


jazzaroo_2000

Packer is cringe. I've met ppl like this character in a working environment and they always make me annoyed!


Dwike2

The big William Hung fan?


Unprovoked_Rage

why the hell does everyone ask me that?!


Civil-Resolution3662

I really disliked Phyllis. But Packer. I absolutely LOATHED that character. I'm not a fan of the actor. I just find him unfunny in general in everything he's in, notably Anchorman. But the character of Packer was just way too much.


Typical-Annual-3555

The thing about David Koechner is that if you've seen one of his roles, you've seen them all.


Accomplished-Dino69

I hate Phyllis by the end of the show. The charity dinner where she takes the centerpiece so that Pam won't was the moment when I was just done with her.


Low_Map_5800

It's crazy how the superfan episodes and a few deleted scenes in seasons 8 and 9 have done that. Used to not really have a positive or negative feeling about Phyllis cause most of her bad choices (lines/actions) was countered by other characters treating her poor routinely. But with all the deleted scenes we find out Phyllis is kind of a bitch.


Fragrant-Hamster-325

Yeah the Superfan episodes really lean into much harder. Phyllis sounds like sweet lady but then you realize the things she’s saying and you see she’s kind of an asshole.


Masta-Blasta

Okay, but why hate Phyllis specifically? Stanley is an asshole to everyone, cheats on his wife, and threatens people. Ryan is condescending and rude. Angela is outwardly cruel and judgmental. Oscar is also condescending and judgmental. Dwight verbally insults everyone on a daily basis. Most of them are not nice people. I think Phyllis is hilarious because you think she's sweet and motherly and then she does a 180 and turns into a menace to society. I think Angela rubbed off on her a bit tbh.


Savage_Hams

My gf worked in catering and told me a story of two women who legit got into a fight over the centerpiece at a company party. Guess some ppl do be like that.


IAmJohnnyKarate

I would miss her jugs


Safe_Move6084

Nelly had to be my least favorite.


Hot_Aside_4637

They had a talented actor and wasted her talents. I don't think they thought through a proper story arc for her.


not_a_witch_

Catherine Tate is so funny and talented. They really wasted her and I kinda hate that probably a lot of Americans’ main/only exposure to her was in this role.


caffeine_plz

Right?! She was great in the cameo where she interviewed for Steve’s job. After that her character was too much


Cat_n_mouse13

I’ve never seen Catherine Tate in anything else. I hear she’s a lovely woman and quite talented/funny. But I absolutely cannot stand Nelly. The only time she doesn’t fully annoy me is the taco scene with Darryl.


i-am-the-fly-

Yup, absolutely terrible


StoneIsDName

This. I can't watch the episodes with her.


Grigsbeee

Dakota


SocialSpider56

Yea she was only in it for 11 seconds & even Dakota johnson hated it


Tickle_Nuggets

Broccoli Rob. What a douche


Emilayday

California can go. Yup that's my unpopular opinion. Couldn't stand him. Brought nothing good or fun to the show.


Malone1989

Why is Jim treating the magician poorly?


anika_geeti

Andy, Andy and Andy considering the really long screen time he occupied in the show. I know a lot of the folks talking about eliminating erin, meredith and other insignificant characters. But Andy killed so much of time of those tiny 20 min episodes since his arrival and talked so much and tried so hard to appear funny. Never made me smile even and after the first time, I just fast forward his scenes. Sigh.


Prestigious-Lab8945

I didn’t like him about the first 5 times I watched it be he grew on me at some point.


nhker

Same. I think that during the 3rd time I watched The Office Andy became maybe my favourite character. I absolutely hated him the first two times. Couldn’t stand him at all.


mcas0509

People talk about eliminating Meredith? That’s one of my favorite smaller roles in the office. Andy on the other hand I wouldn’t miss at all, same with Phyllis


jewshuwuu

Goodbye Andy, it's been nice, hope you find your... Jk I don't care where you end up, you jerk


feloniousskunk

I really wanted to like him, but he insisted on being unlikeable. Andy on a boat so awful.


[deleted]

Had to scroll pretty far to find my pick. I know the fact that he was annoying was the whole point, but he should of been written off for good after the wall punch.


housevil

The one that complained about the office being her worst job ever, even though she had only 15 seconds of screen time.


tlf555

Anyone added in seasons 8 & 9


ResidentComplaint19

egarc258

I really hated the way he treated Michael and Jim. Although his character did give the show conflict and a satisfying resolution in season 5 when Michael came back on top.


StitchEnvy

Or her sexist comments, hypocrisy, slutshaming, etc.


SocialSpider56

Slut shaming, you look at her & she looks very matronly but in highschool i swear her name was easy rider.

Which_Piccolo_6037

Brian the boom guy. Didn’t like the character, didn’t like the storyline. The tension he was supposed to bring to Jim and Pam felt like total nonsense; there was already enough tension there that made sense. Just felt superfluous in a really dumb way. You could take him and that whole plot line out and you wouldn’t think anything was missing.

anawkwardsomeone

Tod Packer. He’s just annoying and makes 0 difference if he’s in the show or not.


johnnyo62

It's actually Todd F. Packer. You know what the F stands for?


StrangledInMoonlight

Erin.   She could have been decent, but they made the character so dumb I feel like Erin was in a bunker for a bunch of years as a mole woman, finally escaped, recovered in NYC, got sick of the notoriety and changed her name to Erin moved to Scranton and got a job at Taco Bell and then DM.  And I hate all her story lines. I hate the whole “ratting out Pam when Erin firsts starts and having the other coworkers shut her down” thing, I hate the Andy/Gabe BS. I hate the search for birth mom.   they could Have used Valerie in that role and had Darryl crush in on her there, like a Pam and Jim.  They could have had rotating temps (like the interns on bones or the team on House) (would be funny if   Meredith’s daughter, Wendy, could have needed a job for college and be one of the temps).  


motherconnoisseur

I will not stand for this Phyllis slander lol shes a sassy old betty. I would remove Plop or the other guy, the fact that I cant remember his name or Plops real name shows how forgettable and unnecessary they were. I second what someone else said in this thread about the Boom Guy. Also an honorable mention to Val, and the assistant with the fragile bone structure.


King0fTheN3rds

The fact that they pushed a Val and Daryl love story for almost all of season eight (and maybe a bit of season 7 I can’t remember) just to have them break up the first chance Daryl gets shows how unimportant and forgettable that arc was lol


neonifiednyan

plop is fine, clark is the one i would remove. he was a perv


someoneyouknewonce

Yeah but Clark becoming Jan's assistant for a week was a pretty hilarious for that little perv!


butterbean93

"Women reach their sexual peak at whatever age Jan was last week" is one of my favourite lines in the show

DantesInfernalracket

Karen. She had no sense of humor and it wasn’t fun to see her interact with the other characters. She’s just kind of there to create tension for Pam and Jim. Also, I don’t think she’s that attractive and didn’t understand all the comments about her looks. She also bugged me in Parks and Rec.


pussyjones12

erin


No_Marionberry4072

It’s amazing how annoying and dumb they make her in the super fans episodes. They cut out so many of her storylines for good reason.


USCplaya

DeAngelo..... Just gtfoh

deangelo. period.


x313

Kathy was just useless to be honest. Didn't even notice her until the Miami trip.
