Happy Labor Day everyone! To celebrate, today I will rank my favorite characters from the most popular comedy about the workplace, The Office! The Office is one of the more popular comedies of recent years, and over the course of the last couple months or so I have been watching the series on Netflix. While not perfect, the series is great thus far with only one season left to watch. However, one thing about the series stood out more than anything about the series is the characters. The Office has some of the most likable, relatable, and all around entertaining to watch in a television comedy. So, let's get this list started!
5: Creed Bratton
After the top four characters in the show, everyone else is essentially tied. So, it was really between Creed, Daryl, and Holly for the 5th spot, so I gave it to the weird, random, and mysterious Creed Bratton. You never know what this guy is thinking or what he will do next.
Quote: "Every week, I'm supposed to take four hours and do a quality spot-check at the paper mill. And of course the one year I blow it off, this happens."
4: Michael Scott
During first season and the early part of the second, Michael comes off as a complete jerk and an idiot. However, as the series continues, Michael is still an idiot, but actually grows as a character. By the end, you actually like and understand the character. Once he leaves, the series itself feels like it is missing something, and it never regains that same magic again.
Quote: "That's what she said,"
3: Pam Beesly
Now, we have reached the Top 3, and at this point, these characters could be in just about any order, so at number three goes Pam Beesly. For the first three seasons, Pam was my favorite character. During those early seasons, she is the most realistic character in the series and her rapport with Jim is so much fun to watch.
2: Dwight Schrute
Dwight K. Schrute, owner of Schrute farms, "Assistant to the Regional Manager," and the best salesman of the company. Constantly the target of Jim's pranks, Dwight's antics and absurd determination makes him one of the more unique characters in a comedy in recent years.
1: Jim Halpert
Of the entire excellent cast, Jim Halpert stands out as my favorite. He is likable, relatable, and full of sarcasm and wit. At times, it seems as though Jim is the only sane person in the entire Office as he is usually the voice of reason, well, when he is not pull one of his legendary pranks on Dwight.

Awesome post idea for Labor Day! There are so many great characters in the Office! As you know my favorite is Dwight, but Pam, Jim and Michael are all my favorites too! Jim is too wonderful and hysterical, and Pam is awesome and relatable and Michael got such good character development! <3
ReplyDeleteMy list would look very similar to this. I would exchange Creed for someone.... not sure who though... but the rest -- yes. Fun post!
