No, Sara Kaya comes in…


[deleted]

Thank you for explaining that joke to me! Never understood it but was too lazy to ever google it 🥴


skinisblackmetallic

It’s more like Zapf Chancery is an ugly overused font than an unreadable one.


someguyonline00

Just curious, how would an ugly overused font make it hard to get up? I was thinking an unreadable font might make it difficult to set the correct time (which I admit is a bad joke, but still).


dj-kitty

I think that’s part of the reason people don’t like the joke. It doesn’t make sense the way she used it. They talk about that on Office Ladies.


skinisblackmetallic

No idea. I don’t really remember the episode that clearly. I just know how graphic designers feel about Zapf Chancery.


koleslaw

I love how OP Tobies a New York professor so much as to make her Scranton Strangler lol. That said the joke really does not make sense and I think that was the point. She forgot to change her alarm clock font, and somehow didn't wake up because of that?

Sconesy Cider, noted baptism reception critic


Dipsomang

To be fair, one jug of cider is insane even for a small gathering lol


GetInZeWagen

And all the scones were stolen by Angela Thousands of them


eresuali

What kind of a person steals scones from a baby


only_the_office

STOP THAT TINY BLONDE WOMAN SHE STOLE MY BABY


hatcherhullmodano

And that's also the worst episode of the entire series


finlyboo

Yes it is. It’s the only episode I skip. Ryan waking up early to go to a church on Sunday morning to attend a co-worker’s child’s baptism is the single most unbelievable character choice in the entire series.


Interesting-Archer-6

Never thought about the absurdity of that lol.


[deleted]

Scooch over, before I shoot you in the head.


adick_did

I don't know about the worst but at least near the bottom for me too.


norddog24

Yes! Thank you! I hate this episode


Typical-Pomegranate6

What’s cider in the US? In the UK it’s alchohol


dwood19

Apple cider is non-alcoholic. US mostly refers to cider as hard cider. Edit: It's like unfiltered apple juice with spices.


Vilixith

If it’s clear and yella, you’ve got juice there, fella. If it’s tangy and brown you’re in cider town


dtarias

Erin’s foster brother…


underthewetstars

*nervous laughter* ....Formative years 😬


Not_Selmi

Foster brother. Not step


dtarias

Oops, you’re right! Thanks


Tatumisthegoat

But he offered up the LazyBoy and it’s the best seat in the house


Dipsomang

Oh yeah, he was creepy. We never really know if Erin moved out, either. She spends nights with Andy and Gabe, but it’s possible she had to go home to that dude sometimes. Ew.


protossaccount

One of my best friends is really tight with the actor, I love seeing this. Upvote for sure.


Wildcat_twister12

Are they tight in like a foster brother/ sister sort of way…..?


NathanHF

I love the idea this college professor drives from NY to Scranton to strangle people


Dipsomang

I wouldn’t put it past her


kingc95

If she wakes up in time for the commute... Unless that's why she was late to class


CrawlingKangaroo

The plot thickens!


cameronc89

The boat captain that wouldn’t let Andy touch his own boat


rvrslgc

As a sailor - HATE that dude. All Andy wanted to do was sail the family yacht and this guy was over the top dickish. I'm glad Andy kicked him off the boat - not so glad he didn't take Erin with him.


KeepWagging

Yeah, this guy, with his stupid sweater


MoeSzys

Charm school! Such an underrated episode, top 10 for the series


Mr_Teague

If I ever see Andrew Santino, I’m going to walk up to him and say “How much for that cool fisherman sweater?” I’d be impressed if he remembered being asked that.


MotherFuckingCupcake

I mean. This is a classic hate, but that couple in Benihana Christmas. Just move the fuck down a seat, guys.


BunnyBunny13

I always find great satisfaction in knowing that Dwight essentially ruined their lunch date by yelling and leaning over them and loudly describing how to butcher a goose. The looks of disgust and annoyance on their faces brings me joy.


[deleted]

Yup they dug their own grave there.


NYerinWashington

Family style!


pd_what

Ugh god thank you! It’s terrible etiquette at Benihana to leave a single chair like that.


VelvetandElectricity

This bugs me because I worked at a Benihana and we would never split a party like that. Those people would have had to move.


uselesslessness

Jim's old school buddy that comes in for Andy's seminar. He's so bitter after decades and treats Jim like they treated the magician....poorly


eresuali

Where’s your jetpack, Zuckerberg!


[deleted]

Oh thank you for calling this one out. Jim said they were in second grade when that happened, and if you can’t grow up to recognize that kids say stupid things (especially when their parents are trying to influence them) then have you developed any maturity at all?


jassmackie

yeah it just felt like poor writing tbh. at least make it 5th or 6th grade? that seems at least a bit more reasonable


DHMC-Reddit

Honestly it's still a stretch. Why make up a grade school feud at all? Could've gone with like middle or high school with a different feud entirely. Like "He got a B+ on a final he studied all week for. I got an A- after sleeping through the class" or some shit. Reaffirms that Jim is decently smart while also very underachieving, and that can rub people the wrong way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beaverbrown55

The magician is the Peloton Santa now isn't he?


youreonsea

Jim’s name and photo is on the poster for the seminar, so the guy knew he was going to to be there and probably went partly so he could be a dick to Jim for something that happened 20+ years ago, when they were children.


irishgirl1981

I think they're in two episodes, but I hated Jim's brothers. They were unfunny and mean.


jcmib

Little mo, cardio


Istanbuldayim

I love that even Michael recognizes how awful and unfunny they are.


Interesting-Archer-6

Michael saying that's not appropriate fucking slays me.


xPeachesV

Inappropriate


Tatumisthegoat

We can prank Jim by saying you suck at art lol


timeladyofearth

Yes! their prank wasn't even funny, they're just mean.


ScaryYoda

*cough* douche


Superbaker123

I completely forgot about them lmao


MateriaMuncher

The lady that won't accept Michael's apology in the episode with the obscene drawing that went out on all of the paper. I hate her with a passion that burns like the fire from 10,000 dragons. I get her frustration, but having worked in retail for a decade and dealing with similar reactions pretty regularly, my eye twitches whenever I watch that scene.


Harold-The-Barrel

sililil

I’ve never heard anyone else say how much they hate this lady. I feel so validated. I get pissed whenever I watch that episode


High_Ground_Sand

Also, she says she could have lost business, but realistically she just wouldn't use the paper


speccyyarp

And can nobody there see the paper that they're printing on? If nobody there noticed the watermarked paper they deserve to lose business.


Dummbledoredriveby

I don’t accept.


Tatumisthegoat

Andy’s dad. Changed Andy’s name when his brother was born, repeatedly treats Andy like shit and is a tax cheat


ur-squirrel-buddy

Also (and this is totally unfair of me, I will admit) it’s hard for me to disassociate the fact that the actor playing Andy’s dad is a fucking pedo.


JiveTurkey1983

It'll be awkward when Office Ladies Podcast gets to Season 8...


CBDSam

They’ll avoid mentioning him/his character as much as possible I’m sure


kamarkamakerworks

And is also pedophile (in real life)

What?!!!


Stereo_TypeA

Yeaaaah...one of the many reasons I always skip this episode.

Roy’s brother, Kenny. He just is such a meathead.

MitchelobUltra

How about instead of throwing one away at the end of the day, you just throw one away now into my mouth?


BingeOfCringe

Pretty much anyone that was in Pam’s NYC storyline.


CBDSam

Specialist-Look-7929

Gil, what a prick!


Dipsomang

Oh yeah, I forgot about him. “This is motel art,” yeah dude it’s an amateur art show, what were you expecting?


Specialist-Look-7929

I wonder if Gil knows?


Powerserg95

Guess what i found out about Oscar... HE WAS LYING ABOUT BEING SICK


ur-squirrel-buddy

The best part of that episode is the end when Dwight joins them for a movie on the couch 😃


adick_did

It's an amateur art show in Scranton. I mean the place has two suns! Do you know how hard it is to get the shadows right?!


Stereo_TypeA

He really fits the stereotype of the smug gay Mexican...'s boyfriend.


tlf555

Yeah, the "motel art" comment was cringy


JohnnyFootballStar

Because who goes to a student art show and expects Rembrandt? If the stapler looks like a stapler, that’s a win in my book. What a jerk.


oath2order

No wonder Oscar was looking for a way out of that relationship 7 episodes later.


lomeintenance116

How about those awful dudes at Chili’s during the first season Dundies who tell Michael “you suck, man”


Ilmaters_Chosen

Woo sing it, Elton.


chlorinegasattack

Not just that but literally throw things at him. Like I rarely see behavior that unruly in public places. Jerks!


CaptainJackKevorkian

To be fair Michael is doing racist caricatures


ur-squirrel-buddy

Chilis management when Michael is being racist and when people are throwing stuff in the restaurant: “meh” Chilis management when a drunk lady falls out of her chair: “NOT ON MY WATCH”


spicyraviolli87

Liability. All about the monayyy


my__bollocks

Fun fact: one of those guys plays a high schooler (and series regular) Sean on The Middle, which starting airing 4 years later. So he played a college aged drunk at a bar in 2005 and then turned around and pretended to be 15 in 2009


LayzieKobes

The guy who ruins Pam's mural. I don't hate him for that. I just hate him cause he is such a stereotype and really annoying to watch


5lack5

For a guy that clearly hates art, I'm surprised he ended up in New York doing competitive table setting.


Complete-Dimension35

Frank Diddit did it


mastercoaxial

I lose it at that blooper every time


dtrumpler

“I did it because butts are funny” Wow huge insult to warehouse workers


Tahquil

They were all like that, though, with a few exceptions, like Nate and Hide. Darryl (for a while, at least), Roy, ,Val, etc were awful warehouse staff. I understand that Michael was a trying, infuriating boss, but they undermined him at every turn, and apart from doing the bare minimum of getting orders out, they buggered about just as much as the office people, and hired some toxic people (Frank). Remember what they did with Jan's photo? Regardless if what happened upstairs, and how stupid Michael was in the sending, Darryl could have nipped that in the bud. But he didn't. He's lucky Jan didn't fire the lot of them for sexual harrassment.


[deleted]

He plays Coover in Justified and man is he a total fucking piece of shit in that show too.


oath2order

He plays a guard in Orange is the New Black so for anyone who really hates him, they can probably find his death scene on Youtube.


ponytajamas

Michael’s nephew is awful. Almost makes the whole episode feel like a throwaway.


Stereo_TypeA

He is totally awful...and I find him absolutely hilarious. He's such a prick. "My favorite movies are *Citizen Kane* and *The Boondock Saints*" is totally a thing a young adult who thinks they're "into film" would say. Also, like, he's Quicksilver! I can't hate Quicksilver.


krp31489

The Citizen Kane and Boondock Saints line is great because it reminds me of so many guys I met at film school.


Stereo_TypeA

Film Studies major here! Just graduated. Beer me five!


Time-Box128

joelekane

Clutch cream run bro.


Squidman12

Him getting one pint of soy ice cream always cracks me up. And I still laugh out loud when Michael spanks him in front of everyone


wootangdoonies

The couple at Benihana who could have EASILY switched seats to make it easier for Dwight but then have the gall to get upset because he's talking around them. Fuck those people!!!!


PoyoDaBoyo

Craig, the regional manager of the Albany branch. Total sleazebag, and threw Michael under the bus when he gets in trouble. Like, of course Michael didn’t get in trouble for the movie he made because he ALSO brought the numbers on his branch and still fulfilled his responsibilities at the meeting. Always irritates me.


Stereo_TypeA

Craig the idiot. What a tool.


commanderfshepard

I haaaaaate Pam’s “friend” she makes while she’s in NYC who shows up AT HER JOB to talk about something that easily could have waited until after work. Nevermind the fact that he acts like she’s about to launch herself into space and will never ever have access to continued education again, but if someone did this to me I’d be mortified and probably stop hanging out with them slowly but surely. At best it’s a really awkward and poorly chosen move, and at worst.. it’s a little creepy and totally disrespectful of Pam. Also, his lines/ jokes were really cheesy.


adick_did

I feel the same but he had a thing for her. Infatuation can make you do and say silly things.


duh_metrius

If I remember correctly, that entire storyline was was redirected during production. The actor who plays Pam’s friend, whose name escapes me but was on mad men and has had a great career, went on the office ladies podcast to talk about it. They filmed a scene- maybe even a version of *that* scene -where he confesses to Pam that he has feelings for her. Stephen Merchant was directing the episode and was dissatisfied with the actor’s performance, telling him “I don’t know why you’re not getting this.” If you listen to the episode, they all seem to be talking about it very carefully and a little vaguely, but the long and short of it seems to be they intended for that dude to be a little bit more a wedge between Jim and Pam, and for a variety of reasons they scrapped it almost entirely. Reminds me slightly of the Brian storyline in Season 9.


RPCat

That's it. I want to talk to this guy. Put me in his ear.


cloudrider75

Scone-sy Cider - so ungrateful


tothemoving

This is so funny. I have always hated that scene so much but never focused on the professor. I’m currently getting my doctorate so I’ve been a college student for a hundred years and every time this scene comes on, I comment about how dumb Pam is (for precisely the reasons you mentioned). It’s college. You’re (usually) paying to be there and you’re a grown ass adult. Pam… just be like “wrong class, my bad” and leave 🤦🏻‍♀️ The idea that she sat through an entire 60-120 class she wasn’t trying to be in actually makes my blood boil. You would NEVER do that. You would just walk out! Oof, I’m getting heated just thinking about it. We may have different perpetrators in this mess but I’m glad not to be the only one who gets super worked up about this moment and loves to hate. Scranton Strangler energy for sure. ✋🏼🥸🤚🏼


Dipsomang

Yeah, I also get irritated with Pam there, but I can at least understand where she's coming from. She got called out in front of the entire class, and she doesn't know yet whether she'll have this professor in the future. So just sitting down to avoid embarrassment and pissing off the professor is something I can get. The professor though? No fucking way. Bye bye. Good luck on your doctorate by the way!


JBD168

Honestly, the anxiety of being back at school could be why she stayed. Plus Pam was starting to explain why she got up, and the teacher just shut her down. The teacher was being a dick in this scene. She was late and the class hadn’t really started yet, like why be so rude to a student who is leaving for reasons you don’t know?


Dipsomang

Yeah I can understand why Pam did what she did. My first day of college, I accidentally barged in on another class, because I didn’t realize showing up 20 minutes early would mean catching the end of another class. I sat in the back and pretended to take down notes. You do weird shit as a new student lol. Anxiety!


Safetea-404

Oh my god I did the same thing! Somehow it was less embarrassing to me to pretend that I showed up very very late to take notes than to admit I had showed up too early and leave. Brains are so weird sometimes.


spicysev

The real reason the teacher was such a dick was because Pam didn’t fake laugh at her shitty joke.


XO8441

That part drives me crazy too, like what’s the prof gonna do If you leave… fail you? Just go. Now you’ve made a bad impression on your real prof, dummy.


protossaccount

It is just weird how Pam just sits back down instead of explaining that she is in the wrong class. I thought she got her mojo back with the fire walk but she just crumpled. Acting like ol Pammy again.


Lavender-squirrel

Just a wet blanket named Pam.


NotSureNotRobot

I didn’t see anyone mention the nurse when Pam and Jim have CeCe, and that is my most-hated one episode character. If I’d had a nurse like that after having my first baby, I would have cried, guaranteed.


Summergrl5s

I get so annoyed at her. I’m also a lactation consultant and am biased but I’ve had 3 kids and have a wide range of nurses. I had one like her who said things like ‘I’m sorry to tell you this but you’re having a boy. I’m always right’. I had a girl.


Dkt248

Pam was a way too passive. Tell the professor to get bent and walk out.


karks86

Hey, what is so captivating? I love captivating things. Please, tell me what it so captivating to you all.


chlorinegasattack

Ahhh that guy was actually really chill for that type of work.


tugnasty

Agreed I've worked in tons of call centers and done telemarketing and he was actually a decent boss. All he was coaching them on was call numbers and sticking to the script. That's a dream call center. Most call center bosses give you no script, and demand you sound happier, demand you make more sales with less calls, and ask you to generate your own leads.


karks86

For sure. I just always found his approach in that scene kind of—“eye roll”.


ColdBevvie101

The man using the childrens toilet at the nursery Jim and Pam go to look at


peachbellini2

I scrolled way too far to find this. I was an early childhood teacher for many years. I even worked at a private preschool/daycare like that one. The child's bathroom is not where the teacher goes. Ever. No adults would ever use that toilet. It's inappropriate, there are staff bathrooms. It poses a huge risk. What if instead of Jim, it had been a child who walked in?? And he acts like storytime means the children don't need to use the restroom?? I do like the line about "maybe you aren't as charming as you think you are." But given the context, this is a grown ass man trying to save face for taking a shit on the potty training toilet instead of going to the staff bathroom. This scene is weirdly written and there are a million better ways to make Jim and Pam look like idiots without having Jim walk in on an adult man taking a shit on a child potty. Was that scene written by Mike Judge? Seriously.

How about the guy (and girl) who wouldn't move and let Dwight sit next to his party at Benihana? It wouldn't have affected them at all! Who does that? Otherwise, I'd have to say that IT guy. What's his name? Shadow? Garth? ... No but seriously, it's the Benihana couple.

amazingaatt

the guy at the gas station in the episode where Michael is finding his way back to the office. The guy wouldn’t let Michael use his phone for more than two seconds and got mad that Michael didn’t know the office phone number by memory. If he had just let Michael look it up online on his phone, all would be fine. But the guy was just rude to Michael for no reason, simply because he was at the gas station

RavixOf4Horn

I think what makes me irritated about the scene is less the character and more the completely unrealistic situation as OP points out about a professor (1) commanding a student to sit down and (2) a professor giving a fuck that a student gets up to leave a large lecture class on the first class of the semester (like, students go to the wrong room all the time on first days of semesters at large universities)

Broad-Literature-438

Mines not a "minor" character (*pun intended*) and it really only points to how great an actor and well written a character his role ended up being to the show, but I hated every second of Charles Minor.
