Yeah, it's pretty much canon. There's no way he would be so bad as to get stuck looking at a wall. Did he pretend to be ignorant to flirt with that gal in florida too? I can't remember Another thing is that Jim is kind of a selfish dick. He wants people to goof off with him when it's on his terms, but when it's other people goofing off or trying to plan a party, he's lazy, uncooperative, and unimaginative. Usually when other people act goofy, he's mister serious all of a sudden. A total hypocrite. He also doesn't care about other people's romance, like when he ditched Erin and pam in the car when she was upset about andy? Or maybe gabe.

[@holidaybro4702]

Is there any evidence for this because I dont think a mob boss would work and not just make others work plus would he make his wife work in a cluttered office

[@scaroe89]

@@holidaybro4702 remember when Phyllis first met Karen? she is confused as to why Karen has no idea who bob vans is and says she "has a lot to learn". gambling is illegal in Scranton, yet bob vans was able to sponsor a "charity night" with nothing but gambling and also give away a fridge? in the deleted scene where Phyllis says they ran over an..."Ostridge", she says they hopped onto a plan that same night by bribing the airport people. if bob is rich enough to do that, why would Phyllis need to work? answer: she doesn't. she just does it because she is bored. Phyllis and bob have gotten away with so many sexual things in the office, according to Phyllis. the reason bob keeps saying his name and business is so if someone tries snitching on him, all the judge and jury is going to think is Bob Vans, Van's refrigeration, not bob vans the mob boss. Phyllis has shown time and again how vengeful she can be when trying to get back at Angela and not caring about the repercussions, just like what some one connected to a lot f crime would do.

But it's actually much funnier and more consistent if Jim really doesn't know how to play "Call of Duty." He often pokes fun at Dwight for playing games. But more to the point, his ineptitude at the game underscores that Jim's not always a great team player and that he doesn't really belong on the Scranton team anyway. It also makes the scene where Andy and Josh get pissed at his playing even funnier.

all of these iceberg videos miss the 1 key point of the iceberg video that popularized these types of videos, in Mish Koz's original Iceberg video, he had a counter that showed how confident he is in these explanation, which is great, because it shows if we should take these guys' words with a grain of salt or a beet farm of salt

[@batgurrl]

I never heard of Iceberg videos but The Office is my favorite sitcom. Never heard that Angela had a crush on Roy Jim is NOT underachieving- he’s the number 2 salesman behind Dwight. He’d probably be number 1 if he didn’t spend so much time setting up pranks on Dwight. That theory that Jim cheated on Pam doesn’t ‘jell’ . They have 2 kids and it’s not in his nature. ‘Pam’s Replacement’ wanted him badly, was quite attractive but he wanted no part of that

[@ieuan67]

If he could have been number 1 but ends up being number 2 then he is underachieving

Is he underachieving? At one point they show that he was gifted in school. Why isn’t he in a profession? Why isn’t he a teacher?

But if Jim wants to have an easy office job, fine I don’t care, but is he underachieving? Who knows.

With regards to the Scranton Strangler, I've never understand why it's heavily assumed that an office worker was the culprit. It's an open mystery with no answer, just like the man who flashed Phyllis.

Jim didn’t cheat, his job and career just became too important to him and it got into his head, together with the freedom of living away from his family.

Freedom of living away from his family. That is such a sad thought for me.

[@nohemymendez8189]

If the whole Jim is the one writing the documentary thing or whatever theory is true, it would make sense that if he cheated, they wouldn't show that. But I don't wanna believe that considering how their relationship was. It just makes sense that they grew apart.

My theory is that Jan was stealing money from Michael for her sperm donations/fertility treatments. The condo doesn’t look that different from when we see it earlier in the series and Michael even complains that he can’t notice a difference despite her spending thousands of him money on renovating. I believe she did cheap renovations (if anything at all) and pocketed the difference to pay for fertility treatments. Which covers the flaws in her story (where did she get the money? And it must have happened while with Michael) and it explains why she left without a fight after Dinner Party (because she found out the treatments worked and didn’t need to keep stealing from him and didn’t want him thinking he was the father). It also explains the panic look at Kevin.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

I'm surprised that there was no mention of Dwight and Angela hooking up in Season 1, despite it not being true. I've seen that peddled a lot because of Dwight singing 'The Little Drummer Boy', which Angela revealed as her favorite song.

[@Klinkertinlegs]

Stanley got out of hell because of the events in later seasons of The Good Place. They are connected.

[@ryanloredo1363]

I would think also that the crew had something to do with Josh (Stamford Manager) getting the new position at Staples due to them not wanting the Scranton branch to close so they can continue to follow those certain people😮. Later in the seasons they actually say they wanted to see how Jim and Pam turned out. So maybe all along in the documentary they saw the “love” angle to what they wanted to show way earlier than we all think! I mean also the way the crew sets them up in the promo while showing Jim and Pam saying “lovers” from all the earlier episodes. 😅
