The fact that Donna's character is often paired with Jerry in importance and screen time is criminal, it is a crime, best character on the show.

[@thomaspetrucka9173]

Donna and Jerry play a comparable role to Creed and Meredith from the Office. The fact that they are more aloof allows more liberal jokes to be played by their characters. At least initially.

Andy's fish-mouth on the water fountain steals the whole damn video.
