The Office - Kelly Kapoor, Master Manipulator

Limited time! Go to NordVPN.com/th... or use code THETAKE to get 70% off a 3 year plan plus 1 additional month free. | The Office’s Kelly Kapoor knows how to get what she wants. She exhibits all of the classic traits of a manipulator, yet despite her untrustworthiness and underhandedness, she’s also one of the series’s most likable characters. There’s just something endearing, even relatable about Kelly’s desperation to be recognized and loved. What is it about Kelly Kapoor that makes her coworkers-and the audience-excuse her manipulative behavior and even embrace it? Here’s our Take on what makes Kelly such a master of manipulation, and why we end up giving her the attention and affection she demands-even if we know we’re being played.

[@lucashenderson2775]

@V P Yup. I always wondered why Kelly was so different in Diversity Day. In their breakdown of that episode, they did an excellent job explaining how Mindy kept incorporating more of her personality (Beyonce fandom, love of celebrity gossip) into Kelly.

[@lucashenderson2775]

@V P One of the most interesting things I've learned from the podcast is that Jenna Fischer takes Karen's side in the whole Jim/Pam/Karen love triangle.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

@@lucashenderson2775 Karen wasn't ever in the wrong. It was an issue that Jim needed to sort out, and the writers had him choose with his heart. I will say that it was bold of Karen to take that leap of faith in the first place though, as NYC was nearby and she apparently had friends there (unless they moved to NY after she moved to Scranton).

[@BonnerDoemling]

wvu05 jim didn’t leave for a bachelors life lol. In my opinion, I think Pam should’ve been more open and honest about being unable to care for their kids and perhaps they could’ve avoided arguments.

[@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254]

Yes! What's brilliant about the show is that some characters' personalities and appearances are very unlikely to the trope they belong in.

I always laugh at Kelly because I saw her as someone who WANTS to be a master manipulator like Regina George but is actually just a normal girl who’s attempts at being that character trope completely backfire. That’s how most teenage girls realize that romcoms aren’t realistic & being yourself wins out. I loved Kelly because I could see myself in her of how I was at 14 & the way my mind still sometimes thinks as an adult before I realize I’m being “crazy.” She & Ryan deserve each other because she thinks she’s a master manipulator but isn’t & he thinks he’s a genius, intellectual ~wunderkind~ but actually isn’t either! But I still enjoyed this take as always!

Great Vid! Machiavelli didnt actually believe that it was better to be feared, He was making social commentary and the cutthroat persona often attributed to him is quite ironic.

[@christianfarren1179]

Unfortunately, the intended tone doesn’t always come across when you’re reading philosophy. The sad fact is that when the truth isn’t big enough, you print the legend.

[@mankytoes]

This is not at all accepted like you imply. It is often misinterpreted- he's saying you should want to be feared AND loved, just that if you have to pick, fear comes first- but he also says it's important not to be hated. It isn't as sinister as it sounds, he isn't saying you should inspire fear by randomly killing people, more than people should fear you if they take the piss and try to usurp your position.

[@Lykereska]

what is also to note is that he wrote the work he's most known for pretty much right after he was imprisoned and tortured by the Medici who had come back to power in Florence. so there's a good possibility this as well was at least in part hidden critique and him acting more like an observer than actually advice political leaders to act this way

My fave kelly moment was when Kelly and Ryan were arguing. Then kelly says she's pregnant but shakes her head to the camera the next scene😂😂 psychopathic and effin hysterical😂

[@shroomalorian5453]

what I got from her character was that Kelly treats the office like she's still in high school. she minds her own business and doesn't care so long as she's dating one of the attractive people (Ryan) or one of the people who is higher up in the social ranks of the office (Daryl). she also thrives on drama, whenever there is the slightest bit of drama in the office she finally emerges from the back room and decides to squeeze every bit of excitement she can from it.

Apart from Michael and Dwight, Kelly is my favorite character no doubts

I always say there are two characters whose 100% of appearances are extremely funny: kelly and creed

It is very telling to see all these women excuse and champion a manipulative liar who is shallow and has no problem using piece for her own gain

Kind of ironic since she gets manipulated by Ryan all the time.
