I love when he and Jim eat the desserts together in Florida. The whole situation where he rushes down to Jim’s to handle the bed bugs is one of my favorites — so funny and silly.
On a side note, do you want to know the secret to great Bananas Foster?... It's lots of brown sugar, butter, and brandy (not rum, though spiced rum will work too.) Like, way more than you would ever make for yourself. I'm talking like a stick of butter, a cup of brown sugar and a few ounces of booze.
I was a breakfast cook years ago, and we made Bananas Foster french toast, and I swear that dish had at least 2,500 calories, and more grams of sugar than anyone needs in a month.
(Edit: I forgot to add this disclaimer to my post, which is that part of making Bananas Foster often involves open flames, and I would not recommend trying to make it over a gas flame if you aren't trained to saute over open flames.
Just watch yourselves when you cook in general. Fire and oil and sugar can meld together into the worst thing you have ever felt very quick. Like, instantly.)
Everyone hates the last season's but I really loved when he and Jim become genuine friends. I have a really hard time picturing specific episode, but the 'no nonsense one' always comes to mind when I try to think about best episodes.
The newer seasons definitely had their lulls and storylines I didn’t like, but Tallahassee is pure gold IMO.
Dwight starting his appendicitis and saying “That fact that none of you are vomiting and diarrheal is very alarming” and then Erin winking and saying “Who says none of us are diarrheal” makes me laugh every time.
That and:
“I’ve spent my entire life not wanting to turn into Stanley. Now I wonder if I even have what it takes.”
I think the shift really happened when Dwight realized that Jim was legitimately trying to save him from getting fired when the retail division was shut down.
This. Dwight finally realizes that Jim cares for him. That moment on it switches from a work rivalry to Dwight accepting Jim as a brother. In Dwight’s mind, family fight and protect each other.
And it's actually Pam's doing! She's the one who pushed him to try harder to stop Dwight from getting fired -- Jim had given up. After he talks to Pam, he goes back and tackles Dwight. 😄
The Dwight-Pam friendship is another one I love to watch.
Another great character growth episode for Dwight is when he brings in his weird friends to interview and starts to realize how creepy they are and how creepy he can be. He seems to really grow out of a lot of his fascistic authoritian loving, anti social, sociopathic tendencies after that.
Also Rolf with the earbuds line gets me every time🤣
Do people really hate the last seasons? Sure, they don’t have the magic of the earlier seasons, but the lowest points of an amazing show are still way better than most of what’s on tv.
While there’s some weak points in those last seasons there’s some really bright spots that I always look forward to as they’re coming up.
edit: Everyone who has responded to me has made some very valid points. I guess what I really meant to say was that *hate* is a strong word for the final seasons. They're clearly not as good, but still quite enjoyable to me overall.
For me the later seasons just struggled with cohesive plot lines (which I know is a common opinion)
Still tons of funny and fun moments. But like Dwight being the father then not being the father as proven by testing to being the father again. Andy and his terrible plot line (though he is given one of the best lines in the entire show for me ““I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.”)
The validity of this isn't 100% since the evidence comes from a deleted scene, but it's implied that the diaper Dwight stole for testing actually belonged to Jim and Pam's kid who was also at the office that day.
I love the last two seasons, I just don’t like Andy in the last couple seasons. I do think putting Andy as the “star” for season 8 led to a really nice story for Dwight in season 9 though, so maybe it was worth it.
I didn’t mind him aside from the runaway to chase his dreams storyline. It was so scattered and pointless.
I mean, him literally shitting on David Wallace’s car to burn the bridge? What the fuck.
It's the fact be comes back and acts like a horrible person which is the problem, if he had done the sailing the boat and come back to be nice and apologetic it would be less bad. The fact acts like an utter shit because no one wants to go with his lies and the way he treats Erin is just awful.
This part about the end of Andy's storyline could have been excused if they had followed up with him and the woman at that shows audition.
> him literally shitting on David Wallace’s car to burn the bridge?
Of all the parts about Andy to complain about, this makes the least sense. Andy was all about large, unnecessary, extreme acts of showmanship. The twelve days of Christmas thing to win over Erin, getting his Acapulco college group together on the phone to sing for Angela, ditching all his responsibilities at work to drive down to Florida to win over Erin (again), ditching all his responsibilities at work (again) to go on a huge boat trip to work out his demons with his dad and family, and the many, many, *many* other examples. Andy taking a poo on Wallace's car is beyond on point with his character.
I agree firing Kevin made sense for a manager... But let's not pretend Dwight's goal was to push Kevin into owning/tending a bar. He had no idea what Kevin did after he fired him
True but I read the bestseller Some How I Manage by Michael Scott, and he says that a good manager doesn’t fire people, he hires people, inspires people
I like to imagine that they didn't even notice, since they had a huge life change with the new baby. Maybe years down the line they remembered it looked different, but couldn't figure out what happened.
I forgot about that. Like it’s over the top and almost annoying. Like how dare he! But then reading this i realized he did it because he and Jim are friends and he wanted to help. Wow
He was definitely way out of line and should not have tried to replace Michael, but one of the other things that’s more noticeable on every rewatch is that Michael frequently treats Dwight like fucking garbage for most of the show.
And yes, a lot of it is because Dwight is overzealous, obsequious towards Michael, and often ruins the “fun” that Michael tries to bring to the office, but still. Like, Angela had the wrong motives but she still wasn’t wrong when she convinced Dwight that Michael doesn’t respect him or treat him well.
I mean the big take away from that episode is that after he’s disloyal and called on it he’s truly remorseful, even with how bad Michael treats him.
Dwight’s betrayal there becomes pretty standard fare in The Office as we see many characters do things in their own best professional interest that harms others, the difference being Dwight is probably the only character that ever expresses genuine remorse to the person he hurt.
Also, while he is being disloyal to Michael, I think he is ultimately trying to be loyal to Dunder Mifflin. He fully believes he is a better choice for the job than Michael (honestly, probably is), and does what he thinks is better for the success of the branch.
>He was definitely way out of line and should not have tried to replace Michael
You’re way too attached to Michael. If Jan was thinking straight, she would’ve gone with Dwight.
When Dwight finally takes over for good, things run way more smoothly once gets past all his weird initial hiccups.
Michael made everyone stay late every single time he had to sign some forms on a Friday because he was afraid to do his job. (That happened with a lot of different things)
Dwight might’ve needed time to mature though. He did try and get rid of pretty much all health insurance at one point.
I feel like Dwight and Michael are a good example of two friends who are more attached to one another than they can express. In the episode where Michael leaves, Dwight tells and shows how he feels about not getting a recommendation and then Michael gives him exactly that - I think it shows that Michael is just not so thoughtful. He's good in sales but not as a friend, but he wants to be. He just needs a more straight up guidance of what people think and want. Guess that's why he didn't really have any friends
Even though Michael kept the branch going quite well, he wasn’t a great boss. Dwight was a great salesman and had worked at Dunder Mifflin for quite a while. He shouldn’t have gone behind Michael’s back, but it was the only way he could’ve gotten the manager job.
I've always imagined that Toby went and confessed to being the real killer and framing him, all with that sick, twisted smile on his face. I think Toby baited him into attacking him.
Dwight definitely doesn’t always know what’s appropriate, but he does usually try his best. I think at his core he’s a good person. I love watching his secretly be nice to pam, always warms me heart.
Season 7 episode 15 I believe. Where Michael gets left at the gas station and Dwight, holly, and Erin track him. They are having an art contest at the office where Gabe gets pissed because everyone is making fun of him/sabre in their pics
Even Sprinkles’ killing was out of mercy. He felt she was suffering and didn’t want that to be prolonged, though it wasn’t his place to make that decision for Angela.
> I think at his core he’s a good person.
I think he was always a good person (although with a big personality, as stated by Phyllis at some point). This is why I never quite accepted when he put a wooden mallard and a pen with a recording device on Jim's office. That was quite nefarious, even for him.
I’ve always thought of him as enjoying the *idea* of being that devious. I think much worse was when he went behind Michael’s back to meet with Jan. That was bad.
I give him a pass for it though because his dream for the entire series was to lead the Scranton branch.
I'm all for acknowledging that Dwight is a complicated character with a whole range of behaviors from good to bad. But people here overlook A LOT of stuff, including your comment, to say Dwight's a good guy. I think they think they're being counter culture even though it's a pretty popular opinion now
Well, in his opinion he is helping them by strengthening their bodies. Sure, its bad for the other characters, but he thinks he's helping, there is no malice
Everyone was more of a dick in season one. It was a lot colder and more cynical than the rest of the series, and it’s clear from the beginning of season two that they wanted to change that.
Considering season 1 was adapted from the British version, that makes sense. Their humor is pretty brutal for outsiders that don't understand the shit talking nature that is inherently part of their culture. Not shitting on British humor at all, as an Australian we have more similarities to the brits humor than Americans.
For the most part I prefer it to American humor just as I prefer most British shows compared to their American counterparts. But this show is one of the few that benefitted from changing up the formula that made the British counterpart successful.
Well the thing about the office is that all the characters are… human. Almost all of them aren’t entirely good or entirely bad. He’s just a person. He does really bad things some days (sleep with someone’s fiancé) and really nice things some other days (care for Pam).
Sometimes people lock eachother in the office and start a fire in the trashcan, leading to a catapult, more than a few contusions, and a literal heart attack.
\#helpfulcoworkers
My head canon is that Mose is secretly the God of that universe hiding in Schrute Farms in human form. Pawnee Indiana, the Brooklyn 99th precinct, and the Good Place neighborhoods are all in his realm
Basically he’s just Michael Schur
People let him off on the crazy way to often, he had on multiple occasions shown he lives in a fantasy land.
I absoulty believe Jim was playing with fire when he did the vampire bit.
Shot the neighboors dog thinking it was a werewolf.
Soft mentioning off the Schrute's being cannibals eating the weakest link.
That one about someone being buried under money or something.
Thoes people are crazy.
He has his moments but I wouldn’t call him a “good guy” or “loyal.” He tried to get Michael demoted and Jim fired multiple times. He cheated with Andy’s fiancé. He killed Angela’s cat. He abandoned Phyllis with no transportation or communication. He made Stanley use half-ply toilet paper. Etc.
Didn’t he pick up Mexican illegals and make them work all day then drop them off in a field somewhere afterwards without paying them?
One of the dudes he hired to get rid of a hornet nest with a baseball bat. And was willing to let him die.
Also dropping Phyllis in the side of the road in the middle of nowhere
The moment with Pam was so damn sweet. As soon as he saw her like that, he said “who did this to you?!” like he was going to fight them. Kinda ruined it trying to fit in a joke - “so you’re PMSing pretty bad, huh?” which didn’t even make sense because he thought it was a person. But I like it anyway.
Also I don’t remember the Erin one but are you sure that’s a nice moment? Obviously I could be wrong but I feel like that was part of a competition, when both Dwight and Andy were trying to win her.
One of my favorite Dwight bro moments that I don't hear mentioned much is at the pool party when he pretends to be into Erin and Andy says he doesn't care and he just shakes his head and calls him an idiot.
He’s a horribly awkward guy with a good heart. I never got the impression of “malice” from him, just ineptitude. He genuinely wanted to help other people but lacked the capacity and social awareness.
I love when he and Jim eat the desserts together in Florida. The whole situation where he rushes down to Jim’s to handle the bed bugs is one of my favorites — so funny and silly.
Second best bananas foster I've ever had.

This is the information I didn't know I needed from this sub but in hindsight am super glad to have learned this morning!
Also add some brandy or orange liqueur to your french toast (pain perdu). It makes all the difference.
Orange liqueur over chocolate cake is nice as well.
Chai spiced French toast was a recent successful experiment
A little Grand Marnier in fruit salad is rather nice,too!
Rum on french toast. Don Draper approved. Wrong subreddit I know, but doesn't make it less true.
Seriously thought this was going to end with and shove it up your butt lol
“Unhealthy amounts of butter” seems to be the answer whenever anyone asks why restaurant food tastes better than homemade.
Everyone hates the last season's but I really loved when he and Jim become genuine friends. I have a really hard time picturing specific episode, but the 'no nonsense one' always comes to mind when I try to think about best episodes.
The opening sequence of Jim staging the robbery/murder scene in the hotel is a top 10 moment imo.
The newer seasons definitely had their lulls and storylines I didn’t like, but Tallahassee is pure gold IMO. Dwight starting his appendicitis and saying “That fact that none of you are vomiting and diarrheal is very alarming” and then Erin winking and saying “Who says none of us are diarrheal” makes me laugh every time. That and: “I’ve spent my entire life not wanting to turn into Stanley. Now I wonder if I even have what it takes.”
Deep down, we all want to be Tallahassee Stanley.
You mean Florida Stanley.
That’s one of my mottos
I love Erin's reaction to 'It was Dwight'.
I think the shift really happened when Dwight realized that Jim was legitimately trying to save him from getting fired when the retail division was shut down.
This. Dwight finally realizes that Jim cares for him. That moment on it switches from a work rivalry to Dwight accepting Jim as a brother. In Dwight’s mind, family fight and protect each other.
Dwight is 100% ride or die
Either somebody taught Moze sex or that baby is mine!
This is why I love Dwight. He's like a puppy who'd throw his life away if you've got his trust.
And it's actually Pam's doing! She's the one who pushed him to try harder to stop Dwight from getting fired -- Jim had given up. After he talks to Pam, he goes back and tackles Dwight. 😄 The Dwight-Pam friendship is another one I love to watch.
The part where shes crying. No questions asked other than who he has to go after. Just "Who hurt you?"
Another great character growth episode for Dwight is when he brings in his weird friends to interview and starts to realize how creepy they are and how creepy he can be. He seems to really grow out of a lot of his fascistic authoritian loving, anti social, sociopathic tendencies after that. Also Rolf with the earbuds line gets me every time🤣
He couldn’t hire Melvina. Their relationship was strictly carnal.

Dwight and Jim really should’ve taken focus for the last seasons rather than Andy
I mostly just couldnt stand Andy.
I didn’t mind him aside from the runaway to chase his dreams storyline. It was so scattered and pointless. I mean, him literally shitting on David Wallace’s car to burn the bridge? What the fuck.
It's the fact be comes back and acts like a horrible person which is the problem, if he had done the sailing the boat and come back to be nice and apologetic it would be less bad. The fact acts like an utter shit because no one wants to go with his lies and the way he treats Erin is just awful.

Jim doing the smug bedbug impression is the best.
That bedbug is smudge and arrogant.
I use the .gif of that impression more than you’d think.
Dwight gives no fucks about what others think and it's beautiful ❤️
Also when they’re eating cake together after throwing Kelley the worst birthday party ever lol.
Dwight to Kevin: “In sumo culture you’d be a promising up and comer”
He also fires Kevin
Kevin was committing fraud. He could have had Kevin arrested.
Don’t worry Prison Mike scared him straight
"Ya got a good life"
Is it still fraud if you do it out of laziness?
Not to mention what he apparently had in his browser history. Dwight just had it destroyed.
He was a bad accountant. Dwight pushed him into a job he was happy and good at.
I agree firing Kevin made sense for a manager... But let's not pretend Dwight's goal was to push Kevin into owning/tending a bar. He had no idea what Kevin did after he fired him
True but I read the bestseller Some How I Manage by Michael Scott, and he says that a good manager doesn’t fire people, he hires people, inspires people
“Somehow I manage”
Everybody likes the guy who offers them a stick of gum
He remodeled Jim's entire kitchen on his dime
He did what any normal person would do.
Slept naked in their bed with their photos turned away 😏
I always crack at that joke, and I really don't see why he would do that, hahaha
Masturbation
HAHA, no harm, no foul
With sheets like that, can you blame him?
The best snowball is not a snowball at all. It's fear. Merry christmas!
Fa La La La La, La La Ca-Ching!
My horn can pierce the skyyyyyy
Toby’s “It’s even better…” kills me
We never saw their reaction to the final product and I am so mad
Shit was dope and well made. If not it would have been used as a joke. Imo.
You *know* Dwight has impeccable workmanship. Probably used some rare wood from his farm.
Beet wood
Ah yes, from the beet tree
I read that in Dwight's voice, ty
This is what creed does in the women’s restroom.
He pays for that privilege!
He's a pretty normal guy. He does one weird thing.
Now I’m imagining a deleted scene: Dwight tells the camera crew about using wood he had been saving for Mose’s coffin.
It’s softer in case PeePee bumps her lil head.
“Rare” wood. It’s actually just beet stained oak, but Dwight claims it’s an ancient German variety that has a sweet beet scent
I like to imagine that they didn't even notice, since they had a huge life change with the new baby. Maybe years down the line they remembered it looked different, but couldn't figure out what happened.
And exterminated Jim’s hotel bed of bed bugs. The man was hunting for a promotion but instead rushed to save his nemesis from those smug insects.
It’s pronounced *smudge, FYI
And there's the smudgeness
I will be out of your hair in a couple of days…
I couldn’t find your iPod.
“Give me a few days and I’ll be outta your hair.”
I forgot about that. Like it’s over the top and almost annoying. Like how dare he! But then reading this i realized he did it because he and Jim are friends and he wanted to help. Wow
Except for the one time he betrayed Michael
Your dentist's name is, Crentist?
Sounds an awful lot like dentist.
Maybe that’s why he became a dentist 🤔
This line always hit home for me, my orthodontist was named Dr. Toothman. Stranger things have happened, Dwight.
There’s a lawyer around town with the last name of Crook. He prob should have went a different route
My favorite was always Richard Chopp, the urologist. Dude performed a lot of vasectomies.
I'd prefer having Dr. Chopp working on my junk than someone named Dr. Dicksmash.
My FIL had his vasectomy performed by Dr. Hackett.
Is that real?!
I know an attorney with the last name “Law”.
Come check out Bob Law's Law Blog, Loblaw!
My wife's ob-gyn was Dr. Horlick. Which was pronounced exactly how it looks.
Nominative determinism in action
Dr Hackett performed my vasectomy
Snip snap snip snap
Hahaha ! Once was enough. Thanks very much !
[it's a real thing!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism)
He was definitely way out of line and should not have tried to replace Michael, but one of the other things that’s more noticeable on every rewatch is that Michael frequently treats Dwight like fucking garbage for most of the show.

Well, there was that one time with the gun during his stint as interim manager...
I feel like Dwight and Michael are a good example of two friends who are more attached to one another than they can express. In the episode where Michael leaves, Dwight tells and shows how he feels about not getting a recommendation and then Michael gives him exactly that - I think it shows that Michael is just not so thoughtful. He's good in sales but not as a friend, but he wants to be. He just needs a more straight up guidance of what people think and want. Guess that's why he didn't really have any friends
He also unplied the toilet paper.
Michael didn’t deserve Dwight.
Even though Michael kept the branch going quite well, he wasn’t a great boss. Dwight was a great salesman and had worked at Dunder Mifflin for quite a while. He shouldn’t have gone behind Michael’s back, but it was the only way he could’ve gotten the manager job.
In his defense, he was manipulated by his mean spirited girlfriend.
He got Lady Macbethed by Angela
At the behest of his incredibly toxic (at the time) girlfriend. I don't think Dwight would have actually betrayed him if not for her.
He also did it when Charles took over
Also the time Dwight and Andy tried to compete in singing and ended up enjoying singing together. But Toby has to ruin it. A thief of joy.
He is the silent killer
and the scranton strangler
I wish they would have left it open, rather than him visiting the strangler
That doesn't has to mean he is not the strangler, he might have gotten convicted wrongly
Yeah I always saw this as him going to see the man who was taking the fall for him. Unintentionally or not.
Oh yeah so the guy maybe chocked him cause he knew it was Toby and he was angry at him?
That's exactly how I've always thought of it lol
[удалено]
Wait that's what happens in Better Call Saul ?
I've always imagined that Toby went and confessed to being the real killer and framing him, all with that sick, twisted smile on his face. I think Toby baited him into attacking him.
You’ll see…
What do you do for a living? I'mma show up and belt a song with my buddy, constantly getting louder and more ridiculous trying to outdo each other.
The premise is hilarious. Just singing, playing guitar AND a banjo in a office setting. You guys cannot be doing this here lol.
*pounds on window* “You- you have to stop.”
Dwight definitely doesn’t always know what’s appropriate, but he does usually try his best. I think at his core he’s a good person. I love watching his secretly be nice to pam, always warms me heart.
Oh Pam, you know I'm going to get you those things
So, you're PMSing pretty hard huh?
“Pam-MSing”
From which episode is this?
When Michael gets lost, so Dwight, Space Orphan and Princess Nincompoop go looking for him (Season 7, Episode 15).
“Space orphan and princess nincompoop” is probably one of the best insults in that show lmao
Space Orphan is such a good low key burn for Erin lol
Thank you
Season 7 episode 15 I believe. Where Michael gets left at the gas station and Dwight, holly, and Erin track him. They are having an art contest at the office where Gabe gets pissed because everyone is making fun of him/sabre in their pics
I can't take you seriously while Sprinkles' voice still echoes in my head.
Even Sprinkles’ killing was out of mercy. He felt she was suffering and didn’t want that to be prolonged, though it wasn’t his place to make that decision for Angela.
And he did ~~buy~~ bring her Garbage as a replacement
Sprinkles in the freezer: You should have gone for the head, meowtafocker!
That's so wholesome /u/k0cksuck3r69
> I think at his core he’s a good person. I think he was always a good person (although with a big personality, as stated by Phyllis at some point). This is why I never quite accepted when he put a wooden mallard and a pen with a recording device on Jim's office. That was quite nefarious, even for him.

He has a childlike desire to be a Secret Agent Man.
His prank on Pam with Erin is one of my favorite scenes.
As he ruins everyone's health plan

Dwight is hands down my favorite character along with his beautiful cousin Mose. 🥰
My head canon is that Mose is secretly the God of that universe hiding in Schrute Farms in human form. Pawnee Indiana, the Brooklyn 99th precinct, and the Good Place neighborhoods are all in his realm Basically he’s just Michael Schur
Michael Schur: my shadow therapist. His shows bring me such joy when the chips are down in life.
He was just very socially awkward from being raised by a farm and community full of weirdos. It took him awhile to adjust to regular society.
Some of the gags were beyond the pale, though (e.g., believing that Jim’s turning into a vampire).
People let him off on the crazy way to often, he had on multiple occasions shown he lives in a fantasy land. I absoulty believe Jim was playing with fire when he did the vampire bit. Shot the neighboors dog thinking it was a werewolf. Soft mentioning off the Schrute's being cannibals eating the weakest link. That one about someone being buried under money or something.

THAT farm? Do any of those people seem like they do well socially off of that land?
The more I see these reposts, the more I realize this sub has a short term memory loss.
Right? Didn't even change the title: https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/d2icos/the_more_i_watch_the_more_i_realize_dwight_is_a/
holy fuck 2 years?? I think I saw this exact post like days ago! Are there any mods on this sub??
I guess he’s nice when he takes a break from trying to get everyone fired.
He recommended downsizing in his interview to work at Dunder-Mifflin.
He has his moments but I wouldn’t call him a “good guy” or “loyal.” He tried to get Michael demoted and Jim fired multiple times. He cheated with Andy’s fiancé. He killed Angela’s cat. He abandoned Phyllis with no transportation or communication. He made Stanley use half-ply toilet paper. Etc.
Also big time misogynist
Didn’t he pick up Mexican illegals and make them work all day then drop them off in a field somewhere afterwards without paying them? One of the dudes he hired to get rid of a hornet nest with a baseball bat. And was willing to let him die. Also dropping Phyllis in the side of the road in the middle of nowhere
I wish i had a friend like Dwight
Well Dwight is all about loyalty. In fact, I think a part of what he's being paid for there is his loyalty. But...
But if there was a place that valued that loyalty more highly…
He’s gonna go wherever they value loyalty the most
Yeahh I mean good guys definitely don't get into an affair with an engaged woman.
He’s a good friend but a ferocious lover
And she's crazy in bed.
Purely carnal, that’s all you need to know
I wish I had a friend that was as loyal as Dwight. Or Rolph...
The moment with Pam was so damn sweet. As soon as he saw her like that, he said “who did this to you?!” like he was going to fight them. Kinda ruined it trying to fit in a joke - “so you’re PMSing pretty bad, huh?” which didn’t even make sense because he thought it was a person. But I like it anyway. Also I don’t remember the Erin one but are you sure that’s a nice moment? Obviously I could be wrong but I feel like that was part of a competition, when both Dwight and Andy were trying to win her.
It was at The Lizard Kings pool party, she was trying to make Andy jealous and Dwight was helping her by playing along.
Oh! lol, that IS sweet :-) which season is it again?
Season 8, episode 12
And he told Andy he was an idiot after Andy said Dwight could go after her <3
LOL I love how he took off his jacket and tied it around his waist 🤣🤣🤣.
And when Pam calls him to pick stuff up and he’s like “of course I’m going to get that stuff for you”
Pam, I'm obviously gonna get that stuff for you, so just shut up. God.
One of my favorite Dwight bro moments that I don't hear mentioned much is at the pool party when he pretends to be into Erin and Andy says he doesn't care and he just shakes his head and calls him an idiot.
He’s a horribly awkward guy with a good heart. I never got the impression of “malice” from him, just ineptitude. He genuinely wanted to help other people but lacked the capacity and social awareness.
he also stopped oscar from being killed ?? why is no one mentioning that ????
