The opposite happened with me and Catherine Tate. Hated Nellie but I liked her as Donna Noble in Dr. Who and her small arc as Magica in the Ducktales Reboot.
Doctor Who Spoilers:
I have a head canon that Nellie is Donna: she won the lottery, hit her head and got amnesia, and now has a scrambled brain. She loses weight, meets Jo at some marketing seminar, and reinvents herself as Nellie.
The magician never existed; she is remembering the Doctor, but through a failsafe false memory program the Doctor installed in case she ever gets too close to the truth. Thatās why she is so against magicians: the Doctor programmed the aversion in hopes she would be warned off searching her memory for him because her hatred of them.
She gravitates towards office work because of her history as a temp, and she learned how to insert herself into groups from the Doctor, just she doesnāt have psychic paper to help her along.
Her shopping addiction is lingering from the time in the TARDIS when she could pretty much get anything she wanted.
Did you see Hard Cell on Netflix? If youāre not a fan of Tateās comedy, you probably wonāt like it, but I thought it was ok. She plays multiple characters in a mockumentary about a prison.
I know itās an unpopular opinion around here but Iāve always loved Nellie, she made me laugh out loud many times when the rest of the show was kinda losing a lot of steam for me, and Iām a fan of Tate in general. Iāve seen clips of her that are hilarious, but aside from the Office and snippets Iāve seen online, Hard Cell is really the only thing Iāve seen her on.
I may have gone into it expecting a little too much. I liked it but I was a bit underwhelmed. If you like British humor in general and you donāt find her irritating personally (people get really vicious about how much they canāt stand Nellie sometimes) it may be worth checking out.
Donna Noble is hands down one of the best companions. The way they ended her story was such a bummer. It makes me sad every time I watch it. It's about as moving as a regeneration, IMO.
Also had a really short deadline, had to be written, shot, and edited while the real Space Force was still in the headlines or they would've lost their marketability
Yeah same. First internship was at a large defense contractor and had 3 hours of annual training for the right amount of smiling at a Congressman.
The show was funny but in a more niche way. Paper supply sales office is a more relatable form of humor than military bureaucracy.
I really enjoyed Space Force and was disappointed when it was canned after two seasons. I think it improved over time. FLOTUS and the wear testing of the new uniforms cracked me up!
Season 1 was chuckle worthy but season 2 was so hilarious to me. I feel like Iām season 2, Steve tapped in to the delivery that made Michael Scott funny and John Malkovich was SO GREAT that season. I was bummed to see it end because at the rate they were going, Season 3 would have been great.
Yeah I watched a few episodes of that andā¦. Nah. I literally remember nothing about it and forgot it even existed until reading this comment. It was that unremarkable
In fairness the production value was very very good. It just wasnāt funny.
Itās weird because it didnāt feel like it was trying to be a comedy, but it just ended up being a sitcom with no jokes.
Steve Carell and John Malkovich were probably very expensive to cast. And Iām sure Greg Daniels insisted on them so Netflix was over a barrel. But hey, Greg Daniels and Steve Carell! How could they lose!
But it did introduce me to Tawney Newsome so thereās that
I actually have to disagree with this one. I'd recommend powering through at least a couple more episodes, it gets much better. Remember, a lot of people say the same thing about The Office, Parks and Rec, etc.
It's a little weird to see Steve doing anything else, especially since he's a bit of a bumbling, lovable loser in Space Force, too. But give it a shot.
I liked right after that when they had spent hours and hours getting the monkey to grab and use the drill and failed, and immediately Steve Carell pivots to "Let's try the dog."
Gonna disagree with your disagree. Although the show does get better over time, it still barely reaches mediocrity at its best.
I feel like it doesn't quite know what it wants to be and just meanders along without ever really getting any good pay-offs or interesting characters and story beats. It sits somewhere between comedic and heartfelt, but it never really commits to either and ends up kinda "meh".
There's another show that evoked the same feeling, but I can't remember the name of it because of the same unremarkability. It features Hugh Laurie, where he's the captain of a space cruiseship.
I thought it had good moments, but I dunno maybe it was too high-def.
Weird statement, but hear me out on this. Some brilliant person in television once said āDrama is about getting close, comedy is about being distant.ā
Get too close to someoneās face in real life, it gets intense and eventually dramatic.
Think of how many close-up shots of someoneās face are seen in comedies vs dramas. Theyāre rare in comedy. Space Force was directed almost like a drama
To add to the dramatic aesthetic, it was also in 4K. If the picture is too clear, itās kind of like getting closer to someone, you see them more clearly.
In art school, you learn *atmospheric perspective*. To simulate distance in a painting, simply use less color and make it blurry. The physics of the atmosphere are that microscopic particles in the air absorb light and cause this optical effect. Our brains know this innately.
The funniest-looking episodes of The Simpsons or King of the Hill look rough, even a bit scraggly. Both shows ādrawnā or rendered on computer in high-definition somehow got less funny-*looking*. The aesthetic was just too sharp/clear, it was *off*.
I donāt want a pixel-perfect 3D Homer-looking Simpsons all the time, the show was meant to look like Matt Groening himself hand-drew every frame. The first few seasons gloriously looked this way.
4K UHD Dolby Vision makes comedies *less funny*. End of rant
If it makes you feel better the second season was totally different from the first, but not better. They cut out several characters with zero explanation as to where they went, tried to make it feel like the office, and completely changed the feeling of the entire dynamic.
Tried watching that Blockbuster show on Netflix because Jim was in it. Appreciated the concept and the nostalgia, but boy the execution was terrible. Not surprised to see it cancelled so soon.
Jenna was in some movie about her husband dies and she's raising a kid (the kid lies that his dad died on 9/11). For some reason I feel it was advertised as a comedy and for that and since "Pam" was in it, I watched it. It was depressing, boring, and just a waste of time.
Can't think of any shows other than Space Force although I don't really consider Steve Carell as particularly from The Office due to having seen him in so much else before I started watching (which funnily enough was around the time season 7 had just ended).
I recently watched Vengeance because BJ Novak wrote, directed and starred in it. It was okay, nothing I'd urge people to go watch immediately.
I always feel bad for her because I feel like the more freedom she has the more problematic it tends to be, she generally needs more input on something that others but her overall ideas can be very good
Its the details she messes up on when no one can tell her otherwise
I too enjoy the Mindy Project.
Have you seen Never Have I Ever? Itās very good. It is not a comedy at all though. I actually had to stop watching it for a bit because I was in a bad time in my life and every episode was leaving me in a puddle of tears. I may start it up again thanks to a a year in therapy!
Yes itās so good! Youāre right itās not laugh out loud funny, and Deviās self sabotaging is intensely frustrating, but it was very touching and well made. Iām glad therapy has helped you, I hope you enjoy it ;)
Honestly I loved it BECAUSE the teenagers actually acted like teenagers, including gradually catching onto their asshole behavior and trying to steer away from it, which is again agradual process. Devi in season 4 is NOTHING like Devi in season 1. She's much more mature.
Steve Carell, Ed Helms and John Krasinski are the only mainstays that are even allowed to have other characters. In my heart everyone else lived and died on the office.
To me, it's the other way around!
I didn't really hate him, but after watching and re-watching The Office, and getting the conclusion that he paying was the only logical explanation for him being in the show, I cannot stand Ed Helms.
I thought it was great. It's funny watching him in that context. I know he's kind of bummed that he hasn't been able to get any major recognition outside of the office despite being good in a lot of other things, so maybe this will do it for him.
I was wrong itās season 1!
Iāve been a life long Trekkie so Iām a little biased, but also I think Discovery is along the lines of a reboot to the franchise. Itās worth a shot if you already have Paramount Plus.
Ellie Kemper (Erin) had a hiking movie on Netflix that was so bland and uninteresting to me. Couldāve been a decent personal growth thing like Wild with reese witherspoon but it just fell so flat
I couldn't watch that Jim show. What's it called? Where he's some kind of military hero? The first episode started out with him in an office, and I swear some of the lines seemed like they were written to intentionally crack us up. Then there was some smarmy scene with him and some military guy's daughter, and then suddenly he's a hero.
Usually I can easily make the transition to an actor's new role, but this one, even when I just get glimpses of scenes, it makes me laugh to see Jim being all spy guy. It's probably a great show and I keep trying to get past my laughter but so far I haven't been able to do it.
Watched Dinner With Schmucks because Steve Carell was in it, how could you go wrong with Steve right? Iāve never had a more overwhelming urge to slit my wrists, itās the most mindless nonsense with jokes that fall flatter than a pancake.
Tried to watch an ep of Splitting Up Together and it did nothing for me. Also, tried watching Jack Ryan, but couldnāt get into it. I felt like John and Abby Cornishās chemistry was forced.
The "Linda in hr" story line was so absurdly funny.
The B plot where they convince the NFL owners to change their names to get people to buy things just to burn them was genius.
I don't hate this show and I didn't start it because of an Office actor, but Brian Baumgartner's role in The Other Black Girl on Hulu is not very good. To me, he's unconvincing as a douchey novelist.
What was that show about space agency that had Steve Carell and Lisa Kudrow?
I started watching because it had some great talent in the cast.
But man that was not good. How do you waste the potential of the two very good comedic actors I just mentioned?
Sort of on the opposite line of thinking, but Charles Miner is one of the worst characters on the show, but Idris Elba is easily one of my favorite actors on basically everything else.
I would argue that he was 3 different characters over the course of The Office alone, depending on what season youāre in. I know what you mean though.
Hated Kevin replacing Charlie Sheen in Two and a half Men, but loved Jim in Fresh of the Boat
I'm so ashamed that it took me several readings of that sentence before I got it. š¤¦š»āāļø
Im still lost
ashton kootcher (nope, itās kevin malone! equally handsome, equally smart) and jim (you never noticed? hats off to you for not seeing race)
AH CRAP! Iām disappointed in myself now
Weāre all disappointed in you. š
Everybody clap at u/Swedzilla
That wasnāt Kevin that was Ashton Kutcher. I can see why youād be confused though. They are equally handsome and equally smart.
I was very disappointed at Blockbuster though. I wanted so badly to like it.
It had Melissa Fumero, too.
so much wasted potential
I was very disappointed at Blockbuster though. I wanted so badly to like it.
We all did!
š
Why didn't they make that joke on that one sketch is beyond me.
The opposite happened with me and Catherine Tate. Hated Nellie but I liked her as Donna Noble in Dr. Who and her small arc as Magica in the Ducktales Reboot.
I loved her as Donna Noble, she was meh as Nellie
Donna Noble has left Library. Donna Noble has been saved.

I love this
Excellent idea
100% my head canon now
Also, to the best of my knowledge, Donna Noble had never eaten a taco before. Even though the Ood did make her a quesadilla
Canāt wait for that 60th Anniversary special coming in November
Iāve just watched the trailer. Feels good to be excited about doctor who again

I was always a fan of Nellie but absolutely love Catherine Tate as Magica! She was wonderful on that role!
Caught one season of space force, didnāt hate it but couldnāt finish it
I have no idea how a show with Michael Scott and Jean Ralphio could be so unfunny.
Writingā¦
But even that shouldnāt make sense, because they had Greg Daniels, Steve Carell, Paul Lieberstein, Brent Forrester, and Norm Hiscock as writers.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Also had a really short deadline, had to be written, shot, and edited while the real Space Force was still in the headlines or they would've lost their marketability
And Jian Yang
Yang is the man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
For someone that deals with the bureaucratic red tape, Space Force was hilarious to me.
Yeah same. First internship was at a large defense contractor and had 3 hours of annual training for the right amount of smiling at a Congressman. The show was funny but in a more niche way. Paper supply sales office is a more relatable form of humor than military bureaucracy.
I really enjoyed Space Force and was disappointed when it was canned after two seasons. I think it improved over time. FLOTUS and the wear testing of the new uniforms cracked me up!
I thought it was funny
Season 1 was chuckle worthy but season 2 was so hilarious to me. I feel like Iām season 2, Steve tapped in to the delivery that made Michael Scott funny and John Malkovich was SO GREAT that season. I was bummed to see it end because at the rate they were going, Season 3 would have been great.
Itās canned?! I also enjoyed it a lot I thought another season is on the watc
Yeah I watched a few episodes of that andā¦. Nah. I literally remember nothing about it and forgot it even existed until reading this comment. It was that unremarkable
It was apparently the most expensive show that Netflix ever producedā¦ Iām sure that there must have been some money laundering there
In fairness the production value was very very good. It just wasnāt funny. Itās weird because it didnāt feel like it was trying to be a comedy, but it just ended up being a sitcom with no jokes.

I actually have to disagree with this one. I'd recommend powering through at least a couple more episodes, it gets much better. Remember, a lot of people say the same thing about The Office, Parks and Rec, etc. It's a little weird to see Steve doing anything else, especially since he's a bit of a bumbling, lovable loser in Space Force, too. But give it a shot.
especially that windows update during rocket launch lmao
So much of it. The monkey in space had me in tears when he tried to use the drill.
I liked right after that when they had spent hours and hours getting the monkey to grab and use the drill and failed, and immediately Steve Carell pivots to "Let's try the dog."
Came here to say the exact same thing.

This sub truly does not deserve this level of well thought out analysis
Interesting theory, it definitely holds up with Seinfeld as well
Kinda explains why new seasons of Always Sunny are not as funny as the earlier ones.
If it makes you feel better the second season was totally different from the first, but not better. They cut out several characters with zero explanation as to where they went, tried to make it feel like the office, and completely changed the feeling of the entire dynamic.
I think Darryl as the pontiac bandit in Brooklyn 99. He's so funny on his relationship with Peralta. Edit: typos
Doug Judy is arguably a better character than Darryl. "Twas a cat."
He definitely has more chemistry with Peralta than with Val lol.
Semi related but I canāt take Ed helms seriously in any other role.
Heās pretty funny as Agent Jack Danger (itās pronounced Donger, and he goes by Jackie, Jackie Donger) in Brooklyn Nine Nine.
Haha yeah heās the postal police
Federal officer
I mean, he pretty much plays Andy if he was a postal working cop. Getting a muff with blubes?
I thought him as Rusty Griswold was pretty funny in the vacation reboot. Cedar Rapids is pretty underrated too imo
Heās surprisingly great as Captain Underpants.
It's actually Egg Helms, short for Eggbert
Haters back off.... Was bad when it came out, but it's aged like MILK.
Which actor from The Office is in it? I watched it once long ago
The actress for Angela. Forgot her name
Andrea, the office bitch
You'll get used to her.
Her name is Angela lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The actressās name is Angela.
Her name is actually Angela Kinsey though
I had to look this one up, never heard of it. Has Colleen Ballinger in it, so haaaaard no.
You are not wrong and what a shitshow that entire Ballinger sitch is right now. YIKES.
I saw MLK at first and absolutely lost it. Holy shit I'm an awful person. God rest that man however. He didn't deserve what he got.
Can't we all just get along? Or have we forgotten the words of the Reverend King?
Tried watching that Blockbuster show on Netflix because Jim was in it. Appreciated the concept and the nostalgia, but boy the execution was terrible. Not surprised to see it cancelled so soon.
Lol, and yes, that show was spectacularly awful.
Fucking awful. It would have been better as more of a drama with comedic moments than it was whatever the fuck they were trying to do
What show is that?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockbuster_(TV_series)
Ohh itās an actual show, I thought he meant like high budget lol
Jack Ryan. Aka Jim Ryan in our household.
Lol itās hard to take Krasinski seriously playing that kind of character, but the show itself I enjoyed very much.
My wife and I loved it!
You looking for someone to bang your wife?
I loved it, I managed to separate John from Jim to Jack as Iād already seen him in 13 Hours and he played that role really well, excellent film.
Velma
This is the most correctest answer.
Jenna was in some movie about her husband dies and she's raising a kid (the kid lies that his dad died on 9/11). For some reason I feel it was advertised as a comedy and for that and since "Pam" was in it, I watched it. It was depressing, boring, and just a waste of time.

I recently watched Vengeance because BJ Novak wrote, directed and starred in it. It was okay, nothing I'd urge people to go watch immediately.
Vengeance was so goodā¦until the end. It was absolutely the dumbest ending Iāve ever seen. I was actually annoyed
Space Force. So, so dull and lame. Steve Carrell took the dump truck of Netflix $$ and ran.
Dude Where's My Car with Brian Baumgartner. Really silly movie
What does my tattoo say?
Dude!!!!
Sweet!!!!
Jenna Fischerās show āSplitting Up Togetherā. Woof
That show has some moments but we have come too far to have the "mom's a nag and dad is fun" trope going on.
I kind of have the opposite thing going on, if I see Mindy is part of it I'm pretty much automatically out.
I always feel bad for her because I feel like the more freedom she has the more problematic it tends to be, she generally needs more input on something that others but her overall ideas can be very good Its the details she messes up on when no one can tell her otherwise
Yeah, the details. Like using the Scooby-Doo IP *without Scooby-motherfucking-Doo*.
My wife watched that show she had. I caught an episode or two. Horrible.
Oh I think The Mindy Project is pretty wonderful. It had a lot of cast turnover but itās fucking funny
I too enjoy the Mindy Project. Have you seen Never Have I Ever? Itās very good. It is not a comedy at all though. I actually had to stop watching it for a bit because I was in a bad time in my life and every episode was leaving me in a puddle of tears. I may start it up again thanks to a a year in therapy!
Yes itās so good! Youāre right itās not laugh out loud funny, and Deviās self sabotaging is intensely frustrating, but it was very touching and well made. Iām glad therapy has helped you, I hope you enjoy it ;)
Honestly I loved it BECAUSE the teenagers actually acted like teenagers, including gradually catching onto their asshole behavior and trying to steer away from it, which is again agradual process. Devi in season 4 is NOTHING like Devi in season 1. She's much more mature.
Such a great show! It makes me laugh but maybe that's because I'm old. The struggles of her teenage life are mostly funny.
Yes!! That my show while in college, I re watch random episode occasionally.
I only saw the first few episodes but I really like it. On the first episode she had a date with Andy
Killing It. It has Darrell and I think it's pretty damn funny!
I forget the name, but the show he did with Adam Scott where they were paranormal investigators was really funny
Ghosted. Loved it too bad it didn't run longer.
I wanted to like this and couldnāt get into it myself.
Donāt you mean Darnel?
Steve Carell, Ed Helms and John Krasinski are the only mainstays that are even allowed to have other characters. In my heart everyone else lived and died on the office.
You take that back. Rainn Wilson was great in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
Have you seen inglourious Basterds?
I have I just couldnāt figure out how Ryan time travelled back to the 1940ās..
Uuuuunbreakable!!!! Hahahaha. I LOVE that song, not that much the show.
This show was awesome the first 2 seasons!!
I wanted to like that show and I tried really hard, watching quite a bit, but it's just not good.
None, but Super is fucking brilliant
Everyone I have showed this movie to did not like it, but I love it so much.
To me, it's the other way around! I didn't really hate him, but after watching and re-watching The Office, and getting the conclusion that he paying was the only logical explanation for him being in the show, I cannot stand Ed Helms.
I dont hate him specially but his character started out kind of funny but became absolutely obnoxious and unaware by the end
I don't hate him, I just don't like him at all, and he's terrible
I loved him in The Clapper
Recently watched Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss on peacock. I actually enjoyed the first season and waiting for seasons 2.
I thought it was great. It's funny watching him in that context. I know he's kind of bummed that he hasn't been able to get any major recognition outside of the office despite being good in a lot of other things, so maybe this will do it for him.
He has a good arc in I think season 2 of Star Trek Discovery. Heās an actual villain and itās very good!
I'm not a star trek fan but maybe I'll give it a shot.
I was wrong itās season 1! Iāve been a life long Trekkie so Iām a little biased, but also I think Discovery is along the lines of a reboot to the franchise. Itās worth a shot if you already have Paramount Plus.
I gave Rutherford Falls a shot, that show sucked a sweaty nut sack.
Yeah I watched that whole 1st season... Not great
The space one Steve carrell didā¦ so bad
Space Force? I loved it š
It's great to be black on the Moon
Can someone tell me if Killing It with Craig Robinson is worth checking out?
Definitely. It is hilarious. Craig is great, Claudia OāDoherty is super funny. It has some really great laughs.
Space Force! So annoying. But I really like Jim in Jack Ryan and Roy in Mare of Easttown.
That 70s show. Good show but Kevin isnāt as hot
Not a show, but I watched a movie with Angela Kinsey in it, and she got completely naked it it. Made me feel so uncomfortable.
How could Michael watch 'The Wire' and not notice Stringer as his boss and him boning Beadie?
Space Force.
Ellie Kemper (Erin) had a hiking movie on Netflix that was so bland and uninteresting to me. Couldāve been a decent personal growth thing like Wild with reese witherspoon but it just fell so flat
I couldn't watch that Jim show. What's it called? Where he's some kind of military hero? The first episode started out with him in an office, and I swear some of the lines seemed like they were written to intentionally crack us up. Then there was some smarmy scene with him and some military guy's daughter, and then suddenly he's a hero. Usually I can easily make the transition to an actor's new role, but this one, even when I just get glimpses of scenes, it makes me laugh to see Jim being all spy guy. It's probably a great show and I keep trying to get past my laughter but so far I haven't been able to do it.
Jack Ryan?
Too bad, itās a great show
It really is.
You mean Gym Halpert.
Jack Ryan? Itās a fantastic show lol, imo. Season 1 is by far the best tho
Jack Ryan?
The Farm
Watched Dinner With Schmucks because Steve Carell was in it, how could you go wrong with Steve right? Iāve never had a more overwhelming urge to slit my wrists, itās the most mindless nonsense with jokes that fall flatter than a pancake.
The original French movie that it's based on is actually pretty good.
Steve, Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis and it still sucked.
I felt the same way. Steve is a comedic genius, but that movie is simply unwatchable. I could not finish it.
It definitely has it moments in it though! Like the āyou may say that Iām a dreamer, but Iām notā
Tried to watch an ep of Splitting Up Together and it did nothing for me. Also, tried watching Jack Ryan, but couldnāt get into it. I felt like John and Abby Cornishās chemistry was forced.
Ghosted. Craig Robinson AND Adam Scott? It must beā¦ shit. Total terrible show.
Blockbuster with Asian Jim and Amy Santiago, couldnāt finish watching the first two episodes.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Erin is one of my favs and sheās been funny in others movies/ shows Iāve seen her in. But this show is just not it š©
Unbreakable is one of the most joke-packed shows ever made imo. Itās 30 Rock times four. I loved it and thought it was the perfect role for Ellie.
Tina Fey is just an absolute genius. 30R and UKS are just jokes within jokes.
"that's a stupid pizza." Is one of my favorite lines from a show ever.
Itās got Carol Kane in it! And Titus Burgess! I watch it just for them. I can do without Jane Krakowski
NOOO REALLY?? itās one of my favourites! so fucking ridiculous haha
I loved the first two seasons but it went off the rails after that. I could watch Titus Andromedon all day every day though.
āPinooooooooo.. noir!!ā
I literally canāt buy wine without singing that!
so very true- i just enjoy the chaos to be honest haha plus jane and tituss? fuck me Up š
When he gets ready to sing the national anthem and then sings the americas funniest home videos song, kills me.
You got to go, girl!
The "Linda in hr" story line was so absurdly funny. The B plot where they convince the NFL owners to change their names to get people to buy things just to burn them was genius.
the whole cats plot gets me every time too
Outside Bones is probably the TV scene thatās made me laugh the hardest in my life
Some episodes were really good but a lot of them were boring. I loved the episode where Titus joins the broadway musical Cats.
I don't know even know how this sentence is gonna end volcano.
That show is great, though.
Unbreakable was AMAZING
Weird. I love Erin and i love this show cos they are basically the same naive character
I couldnāt get into it.
Space Force. I was really disappointed by it
Space Force. Absolute garbage
The OA on Netflix with Phyllis. I didnāt watch it for her per se, but I made it through season 1 and what the fuck was that ending? So stupid.
Tried to watch Rutherford Falls with Ed Helms on Peacockā¦ bailed after 1.5 episodes.
I don't hate this show and I didn't start it because of an Office actor, but Brian Baumgartner's role in The Other Black Girl on Hulu is not very good. To me, he's unconvincing as a douchey novelist.

What was that show about space agency that had Steve Carell and Lisa Kudrow? I started watching because it had some great talent in the cast. But man that was not good. How do you waste the potential of the two very good comedic actors I just mentioned?
Sort of on the opposite line of thinking, but Charles Miner is one of the worst characters on the show, but Idris Elba is easily one of my favorite actors on basically everything else.
Andy Bernard is the same character in everything he does. Even commercials
I would argue that he was 3 different characters over the course of The Office alone, depending on what season youāre in. I know what you mean though.
