[@amadodiallo3167]

In the words of Dwight, its never the person you most suspect (Creed), and its never the person you least suspect (Toby) because then they automatically become your most suspected. The theory of Toby being the Scranton Stranger has been spread so much that Toby has become the most suspected person. So it has to be the person you most middle suspect. Probably Ryan I think.

[@razkable]

what I dont get is we act like the roy thing wasnt just perfectly toxic so people wanted jim to steal her heart and how easily they wrote karen out the show once the actress broke up with the real john who plays jim in real life....theres a reason he got with karen you know.....while its fine they got together i think they were boring as a couple but it woul of been better if they never got together and chose to be friends..thats a better dynamic then forcing them together so early on or even at the end of the series...its just cliché....

[@davidfisher4454]

0:55 “yeah that’s an awesome story man and uhhh” couldn’t be more awkward if he tried

[@amadodiallo3167]

I really disagree with most of these points of Pam being evil, lemme go through with it - Cheated on Roy I really feel like there's something I'm missing here, because I never saw Pam actively cheat on Roy, not even with Jim. They were always just friends in season 2 - Led Jim on for years Pam has never really flirted with Jim and 'led him on'. Because she was engaged to Roy, she thought to put her feelings for Jim to the side and focus on Roy more, which was really terrible for her. I mean, if anything, Jim led Pam on - Jealous of Kathy Again, she had some slight feelings with Jim, but she decided to push them to the side, but when your secret crush has another girlfriend, you can't help but be jealous. But she never expressed hate for Kate, it was just implied. She tried to be as nice as Kate as possible, but she can't help but get a little jealous - Back with Roy but awkward about Karen Season 3 was a really bad season for Pam. She finally realized how much she loved Jim, but she's then cock-blocked by Karen. She was so desperate for anything, that she hooked back up with Roy. Again, she still had feelings for Jim, but she again pushed those to the side, so of course she would be a little awkward with Karen - Lied to Co-Workers about Office Admin. position I'm gonna admit, I could get how this could sorta be a douchey thing to do, but this is a comedy show and this was pretty hilarious to see Pam pull this off. This is kinda a minor thing in the scope of her character, especially since she did it all for the money because she wasn't a good salesman - Jim supported her dreams, she asked him to give up on his Pam never actively asked Jim to not pursue Athlead. In fact, she was all for it on the outside. But taking care of 2 babies alone, was miserable for Pam. And even then she never asked jim to give up Athlead. It was Jim who saw how hard it was for Pam, that he stayed with Pam more, and Pam never asked him to. In fact, Pam was the one who decided to move with Jim to Austin to pursue Athlead - Had emotional connection with Cameraman I have no idea why this would be considered a terrible thing to do. Pam was going through a hard time and Brian, the camerman, was the only one who was there for her. The only deed I would consider terrible for Pam is giving everybody lice and lying about it causing Meredith to completely shave her head

[@ripdajacker23]

Drunk kissed Jim at the Dundee's, flirted with him constantly, admitted to wanting to kiss him for a long time after Jim kissed her at casino night, hated on Katy, envious of Karen and Jim's relationship. Yeah, she may have came off like she and Jim were just friends and then feelings "happened" but the truth is that she had feelings for him ALL ALONG and only strung him along because she was with Roy and was afraid that Jim would find someone and be happier than her and Roy. She played the long game with Roy knowing that eventually it wouldn't work out and she could pursue Jim. So she kept Jim on stand by until Roy "caused" the break up. She wasn't brave enough to end the relationship she didn't want to be in so she told Roy about her and Jim kissing knowing that Roy would lose his shit. She wanted out of that relationship but didn't want it to be her doing. She wanted to be with Jim but didn't want to break it to Roy. That's why she didn't go thru with the wedding and the only reason why she took Roy back was to not be lonely and make Jim jealous. She's evil!!

[@jacobdavid9796]

Jim led her on?? Blasphemy!

[@christopherbaker3983]

Here's why you're completely wrong about Pam. Yeah she hurt a lot of people and some of what she did might have seemed cruel but she didn't hurt anyone more than she hurt herself, she went through all kinds of pain throughout the show.

[@cmoody2334]

He kinda just predicted the whole Seahawks season at the end

[@michaelleiner9004]

I don’t think that pam is evil. Pam didn’t really cheat on Roy. She kissed jim and then refused him. (There was no consent from either of them, BTW) she got back with Roy because she wasn’t assertive enough. She broke up with him because she was trying to be more assertive. She lied about the job because she wanted to be something more and feel more important. It wasn’t hurting anyone (except maybe corporate). She felt terrible about jim leaving athlead. She also gave up on her dream. She failed art school and came back for jim. With Danny she just wanted to figure out why he didn’t call her back. And as for the emotional connection with the camera man, I have some issues with that. I believe that a woman can have an emotional platonic connection with a man. He was a friend who was kind to her when she was sad. Also he’s married! So I don’t think Pam is evil. I think that she was acting like a normal human being.

The office twice? That are rooky numbers. I’m now watching it for the 5 time and that’s like a beginners fan.

[@christopherbaker3983]

I feel like one of the biggest scenarios that pop up for the whole Pam is evil thing is the fact that Jim supported her dreams, but she asked him to quit his..... It IS easy to support someones dream when A. You don't have a family yet and have pretty much all free time outside of working at the same company with set hours B. Don't have any dreams of your own at the time C. Can pretty much pursue your dream from anywhere. It's NOT so easy to support someones dream when A. You have not one, but TWO very young kids to take care of alone B. They're dream requires them to not only work from a separate city, but ALSO for them to be sort of LIVING in that city for weeks at a time so that they can be there to work when they ALSO have a MORTGAGE and a FAMILY and KIDS in a different city and those KIDS and FAMILY and WIFE can't pick up and go C. You are asked to move to a completely different area away from other family and friends, to find a new job, new friends, new schedule, still take care of your children. While your husband is doing what? TRAVELING THE WORLD TO TALK TO CLIENTS AND YET AGAIN HAVING TO MOVE AND BARELY SEEING HIM AND NOT HAVING HELPING WITH KIDS.....? Believe me, that dream would have been 100% supported solidly by Pam if they didn't have kids and didn't plan to for at least a few more years.....
