I love how they didn’t make him the typical asshole boyfriend. He was neglectful and oblivious, but he didn’t mean to be. And in season 2 he showed up for the kids and was genuinely passionate about helping Abbot Elementary

[@marissawilson4644]

Literally!!

[@djamtz]

Relatable u mean

[@xomariah8157]

He actually only showed up because he had no where to go and he made the new theme song for the school who was going to take over abbot

I love the running gag that he thinks that Gregory is the talent handler and not a teacher 😂 . He should be a comedian.

[@MrCash-lm1xz]

he is

[@sasssy.a]

Zack Fox actually is a comedian and rapper in real life 😭😂

[@dancingsun2]

Tariq is such an interesting character , cause he treats Janine bad and is an overall awful boyfriend so you're supposed to hate him....but then he does the most stupid and funniest things that make you like him. Like how am I supposed to hate the man that created the iconic "Abbott on Abbott on Abbott" song? 😭

[@TJ-jw1wm]

I don’t think you’re supposed to hate him

[@ArtTheSinger]

The thing is he is a good man. He’s inexperienced and immature. I actually think he’s better for Janine.

I appreciate how Tariq isn't a bad guy, just a bad FIT as a partner for Janine. He's so funny and a solid dude that comes through for the community.

[@britnicox3929]

He was awful to Janine, but he was SO funny every time he was there. It takes real talent to play someone so unlikable but also charismatic

[@sarahhesoun3477]

I dont think he was *awful* at all. Hes just immature, that doesnt make someone a bad person

​@@sarahhesoun3477They didn't say he was a terrible person. They just said he wasn't a good boyfriend (because he's immature)

Didn't really mind him at first (I just thought he was some kind of throwaway character), but as time went on, I really started to like him and I think he is hilarious. I hope he stays around in some capacity. It's like he's an Andy Dwyer or Meredith Palmer or Gina Linetti (early on) or Jason Mendoza type of character. I like it and am here for it.

Tariq is interesting, because in most sitcom stuff the boyfriend is always the most awful person. Tariq is not perfect at all but he's not 100% hateable. Most sitcom boyfriends are horrid and while he is definitely lazy he and Janine still were really positive to each other and he was really good with the kids
