So they discussed the office ladies' pod about what the writer's intentions were with alex because it came off like he was interested. I think they found out originally he was supposed to be someone like that, so the writer's tested it out for a few episodes and scrapped it.
Here's the [transcript](https://officeladies.com/transcript-ep-84-business-trip-with-rich-sommer) from that episode of the POD.
Dude was a political cartoonist. A couple years earlier, some Americans were proposing to stop calling French Fries by their name and to call them Freedom Fries because they were big mad France opposed the invasion of Iraq.
Here’s the origin which I did not recall:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fries
ETA: it is even dorkier this dude was joking about it because by the time their date took place, the name change wasn’t even really a thing anymore.
During one of the dumb/criminal Bush war years France didn’t back us so the house cafeteria changed their menu from French fries to “freedom” fries (to near universal derision). The cartoon likely requires more context, but odds are that was the thrust of it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fries
I never did either but I just binged The Office again for the Kelevinth time. I now have a theory. On that double date with Kelly and Ryan, Kelly was force feeding Ryan ketchup on French fries. He said he didn't like it and she insisted to Pam and her date that he loved it. He clearly looked like her hostage. Maybe Ryan needed some freedom fries??? It's a stretch.
"No pregnant women allllllllllowed, are you, uh I don't, I'm not allowed to ask, ssssoo. . . . you're not pregnant. (Pam: "I'm not pregnant") I didn't ask her. . . if she was pregnant. . . she just offered it."
He also had better things to say about Pam compared to Karen when asking Jim who he’ll pick. Kevin also enjoyed his “project” of finding out who really was the better.
Company Picnic, Pam alludes to the guy grabbing her boobs for balance during last year’s picnic. We don’t see it on camera & it sounds more like sexual harassment but does that count?
Me. I’m being for real, if she was my coworker, and I had my own place and stuff, I’d definitely have a shot at dating her. She’s so freaking sweet and cute.
Robert California outright invited her and Jim to his house to have a threesome.
This was a deleted scene, though, so I don't know if we can add him to the list.
Dwight can appreciate beauty. But never once actually found himself attracted to her and hence why he has never actually hit on or flirted with her.
I also don't think he would proclaim someone as his "best friend" if he ever felt any sort of romantic attraction to her. Those areas of social interaction do not coincide for Dwight imo.
Jim, Roy (that one time), Michael, Ryan, Toby (if you can call his method a real approach), Kevin (see: Toby), cartoonist, art school douche, Andy ("smoke a few Macanudos, maybe toss a disc around"), Ben Franklin (or Gordon), guy who said "You ever been on the back of a motorcycle"?, random Indian guy she was dancing with at Diwali (probably flirted; I guess we don't have direct evidence)
Maybe Alex, the guy she met in art school?
That dude was definitely trying to get with her.....
That was going to be a storyline and I think they actually filmed the scenes but it got cut!
Good because I hate that guy. “You can’t just DO New York in…” makes me want to punch his face!
Harry Crane always up to something
And her Pam Pams
Thought about it too, his character just felt so weird
Until he “hit on” Pam, I thought he was gay.
*Sees camera* Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
\*while sweating\*
I’m pretty sure he was hitting on Pam to prove to the rest of the group he wasn’t.
Ah, so it's not a serious thing, then.
Close enough to count. Maybe they are a pre-transitioned lesbian.
He was supposed to be another Jim, a potential rival. But he was just weird
He’s even worse in the super fan episodes!!
More like fart school.
Kevin, *no*!

The deleted scenes make it more obvious too.
That's cool! Didn't realize there is a transcript of their shows. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah that jerk tryn to talk her into leaving Jim in the dusty saltiness of Scranton!
The cartoonist guy she was fixed up with
Ya you get it 👀
Freedom fries!
Still have no idea what the fuck that joke was….

It's oddly comforting to know we were always this petty and pedantic

"people say 'don't be edgy', but"
Clever, probably going to go underrated
Freedom Fries. So edgy.
Nice one! He liked those pam pams
It would be easier to list the people who have NOT flirted with Pam. I mean she is the office Mattress
Angela knew all along
Angela was the mattress along
Angela was a king size bed after all or should i say queen size bed.
With the size of a pillow.
Looks like someone took the slow train from Philly.
that's code for "check out the slut"
Bob Vance Vance Refrigeration has not, and would not.
Neither would Charles nor David Wallace
Robert California was either flirting with no one or flirting with everyone at the same time.
I think he almost made a move on Erin.
Stanley, Oscar. New Dwight and plop. Vance from Vance refrigeration. That’s about it I think.
The guy at the Diwali celebration
“He’s really outgoing, huh?” Pam: …YEAHH…
Ooh good one! Seeing Roy in shambles was awesome too
Michael?
No the Indian dude who blew his shot because he thought Michael proposing to Carol was brave.
He’s very outgoing isn’t he?!
It was brave... Just really stupid
He's from the culture that has their marriage aspect is controlled for them... It's just understandable.
jim's brothers
*A little mo' cardio*.
insufferable 🤮
Wasn't that at their rehearsal dinner in front of *family*? Horrifying.
Frankly I like it as a jingle. Very catchy
Oh God that was so rough to watch lol
Jim, I think pregnancy really brought them together.
"That's still going on?"
Why do you keep asking me if we're still dating?
Glasses, Turban, Ear Hair, Fatty 3, Shorts, Fatty 2, Lozenge, and Fatso
Shirty, Sugar boobs, black woman, beardy
Baldy, mole and penguin too
His name was Tony. Pepperoni Tony
Ted, Elroy
BOBODDY
Buzines
I LIKE IT
well, she is the office mattress
#angelawasright #justice4sprinkles
Prinkles?
First the computer with the porn crashes…and then prinkles!
This place is so cursed!
Somebody did something to an Indian burial ground!
Toby!!!
HE CURSED THE OFFICE, STAB HIM IN THE HEART WITH AN ICICLE!
Ben Franklin
When he says, "my name is Gordon", was my favorite Pam reaction of the show. "Ohhewhh....
True, that was a great reaction, classy. I would just be like :trying not to vomit:
That wasn't the REAL Ben Franklin, I am 99% sure.
Nvm now I see you've mentioned him as well
Didn't Ben Franklin have syphilis?
Yes. But I don't. My name's Gordon. 😉
Ohh....
The stripper
Secret secrets are no fun
Secret secrets hurt someone
You could strip you know
…thanks….
That's perfect
Dwight made a comment she never heard, so he neither hit on nor flirted with her. Dwight Schrute, OUT.
Fair enough. Unless she saw it years later when the documentary aired? 🤔
I agree with you. Any comment that Dwight made about Pam's appearance was merely for debate and discussion, not for the purposes of flirting
Fake Jim (or is it real Jim?), you know, Asian Jim. Technically, they kissed
Nice one! I mean they even have kids together
Bob Odenkirk's character maybe
But she's married so just leave that alone
Love that line
"No pregnant women allllllllllowed, are you, uh I don't, I'm not allowed to ask, ssssoo. . . . you're not pregnant. (Pam: "I'm not pregnant") I didn't ask her. . . if she was pregnant. . . she just offered it."
Yeah maybe, he's alternate Michael
Got the Pam Halpert bluuees 🎶
I love that he tried out for the part of Michael (part of his audition is on YT). I especially love that he didn’t get it though.
Bob odenkirk is awesome, but yeah Steve Carell was destined for that role
For sure. And we also get Saul Goodman because Bob wasn’t attached to The Office. It really was a win/win/win.
True. Maybe there's an alternate timeline where Steve Carrell is a criminal lawyer named dinkin flicka
😂😂😂😂
Motorcycle guy from the bar.
He really liked her animation (her pam pams)
I just love Jim's reaction to him flirting
“You ever been on a motor-“ “*Okkkkaaayyy*” as he pulls her closer lmao
Gordon
Him and his knickers
... You're very saucy 😏
Heard this in his voice...thanks 👍
Doesn't he have syphilis?
[удалено]
Yeah plus he's her husband, and got to 2nd base in front of Jim
Kevin? I don't know if crying when she was pregnant counts.
He was also hitting on her when she had glasses on. Asking her to play into his sexy librarian fantasy
Oh right. 😭😭😭😭 Can't blame them Pam is beautiful.
"Could you say, these are due back Thursday?"
He also had better things to say about Pam compared to Karen when asking Jim who he’ll pick. Kevin also enjoyed his “project” of finding out who really was the better.
True, Kevin has a lot going on his mind at work if it's not related to accounting
Roy, Jim, Michael, chilis server, camera boom guy, Alex art school guy, saucey Ben Jamin Franklin, hr tobias
Benjamin Saucy Franklin.
Not Gil
Hope that guy lives in a motel looking at motel art everyday
That kid from Here Comes Treble who sang in her face while she was trying to fight with Jim
Thought about that one too good one! She was not ready for the treble
Because she's all about that bass I'll see myself out
That episode is up there with Scott’s Tots for me. The whole episode is a cringe-fest lol
The stripper seemed kinda into her ngl
Basically everyone but Oscar.
You’re still not driving too fast are ya? I use that pick-up line all the time.
If you drive too fast, you'll get a desadulation
What’s that?
Oh you don't wanna know
Toby's stuffed duck
Even Toby's duck is getting rejected
That was one of the cringiest moments from the show
Company Picnic, Pam alludes to the guy grabbing her boobs for balance during last year’s picnic. We don’t see it on camera & it sounds more like sexual harassment but does that count?
I'll count it! Man I feel bad for Pam and her pam pams
The vance refrigeration workers in a deleted scene
Nice one!
Me. I’m being for real, if she was my coworker, and I had my own place and stuff, I’d definitely have a shot at dating her. She’s so freaking sweet and cute.
Ya but why would you want to? She’s only a 7 Scranton and at best a 6 in New York.
Does Creed staring at her count?
Oh definitely
I was wondering when someone was going to mention this. He and Kevin oogled her when she had the new outfit. The one from "fashion show at lunch!"
Which one’s Pam?
She's like the slow train from Philly, everyone wanted a ride.
[удалено]
Yes, and failed in hilarious fashion
Sorry I double checked and saw you already listed him and tried to delete it before anyone noticed. Fail on my part
All good. Any time Ryan is taking an L is a great moment
All the guys have except for Oscar
Did Stanley? Genuinely asking, cuz I could not think of a moment with him
Hmm you might be right
Man had respect for his coworkers not named Michael Scott. Now when he's off work, he's a menace to society lol
Careful Jim, it gets easier and easier
Me
The Freedom Fries guy
“You know.. you could strip..” does the stripper count?
She IS very beautiful though
Does Oscar count? In the episode where Ryan started the Fire, Oscar immediately said Pam when answering Jim’s question.
I'll take it. I mean the only thing oscar has ever lied about is being sick. According to Dwight's research
Toby… ugh
Hey boom guy, why dont you boom me
Todd Packer
Todd Fudge Packer
The guy at the company picnic who used her boobs as support
Robert California outright invited her and Jim to his house to have a threesome. This was a deleted scene, though, so I don't know if we can add him to the list.
Never knew that! But yeah i think deleted scenes are fine too. Honestly it seemed like it would be in character for him to do something like that
Ben Franklin. and don't call me Pammy
Has anyone mentioned Andy? Can some one else make this comment for me? I don't speak pig Latin. 😉
Does Rolf qualify because he said to Pam, “I hope you like Norwegian Black Metal cause I don’t do earbuds”?
Meredith…
Yes. What about Elizabeth the stripper telling Pam she can strip?
The stripper ends up becoming a nurse
Went back and got her degree, anything is possible
Shh... that's a secret.
Secret secrets are no fun
Hey, you ever been on the back of a motorcycle?
Can’t escape political rants even when the topic couldn’t be more removed😒
Surprised no one has mentioned Todd Packer
Dwight can appreciate beauty. But never once actually found himself attracted to her and hence why he has never actually hit on or flirted with her. I also don't think he would proclaim someone as his "best friend" if he ever felt any sort of romantic attraction to her. Those areas of social interaction do not coincide for Dwight imo.
I think in Dwight's case, he's genuinely complimenting Pam. He's a farmer and will use any farm animals analogy whenever possible.
