All the Office characters are iconic, but Melora Hardin was an absolute comedic genius with Jan. She was terrifying, smart, ruthless, pitiful, clever, psychotic. The dinner party episode is absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

11:14 the fact that Pam couldn't recognise Jan from her normal human photo of skydiving but recognised her immediately from that devilish caricature/portrait 💀💀💀

[@PrmtvStudio]

It was realisation in stages. In the skydiving photo Jan is wearing a helmet and a suit so Pam could think "she seems familiar/she kinda looks like Jan" but not realising she's her yet, then there's a photo of a baby and "Serenity by Jan" candles, at this point realisation comes to Pam, but she is kinda not certain, not sure yet, and then there's a Warhol-style quadriple portrait and then it hits her. It IS Jan. Personally I love the moment right after this scene, when Jan doesn't simply enter the room, she just appears out of nowhere leaning against the doorframe. So sinister.

[@STho205]

Jan is The Devil. That is clear in the awkward dinner party episode. Pam is playing audience surrogate as you also slowly realize who is the customer.

Jan was a great character that sadly was kind of torn down and left by the wayside. I think she was hilarious as Crazy Jan, but the writers could've pulled back a bit in her later appearances (a la Roy), because Jan had serious problems going on. They just made her mean, when she was originally just a bit stern (understandably so).

[@IvanBorodulin-t5w]

The truth is that the characters developed the way that they did for a reason … You could tell the signs that both Ryan and Jan would go off the rails at some point. Jan - while listening to her emotions and giving in to Michael’s dumb but real feelings. As emotions stop being suppressed, bottled up for a while, they start a rebel Ryan took pride in being cool and controlling the way he presents himself to the world, so lack of self-reflection combined with an opportunity for his ego to go rampant (drugs, power) did what it did to him
