The Unsung Lovable Old Farts: Phyllis Lapin-Vance vs. Garry Gergich
They’re the oldest employees in the workplace, and play the part accordingly. (Never mind the fact that they’re both considerably overweight.) Their younger, more hip coworkers make a full-time hobby out of teasing these old farts, whether it be for Garry mumbling during a powerpoint presentation or for Phyllis being designated as the Ugly Duckling in any context.
With all that unnecessary disrespect I just tossed on two notably kind people, it’s only fair for me to raise equally high praise to their love lives.
In Season 3 of The Office, Phyllis pulls an epic power move by marrying northeast Pennsylvania household appliance mogul Bob Vance, the freaking owner of Vance Refrigeration (ever heard of it?). Later on in the series, Phyllis and Bob get caught doing the nasty in a handicap bathroom in the middle of a mid-workday double date. That’s pretty baller, Phyllis.
Better yet, famously clumsy Garry comes home at 5:00 everyday to his idyllic Pawnee ranch to be loved by a flawless trophy wife who has an uncanny resemblance to Christie Brinkley. To boot, Garry reproduced three similarly attractive females to the world – all of which have my permission to befriend me on Facebook anytime. He’s a massive dork around these beauties, but it’s totally adorable. There’s obviously a method to his madness. Apparently he’s considerably well-endowed too.
Point: Garry Gergich, Parks and Recreation

It’s a weird concept, but I think P&R has the better cast of characters but somehow The Office was the better complete show.
Completely agree here. Putting characters side-by-side like this was a great idea for an article btw. Love both shows, but Office is my favorite. Pam got worse for me near the end, but the ending of the show redeemed a lot for me.
I don’t know, I think the greatness of the Office is that everybody works with the same characters from the show. They nailed the personalities so well, everyone knows the Angela at their office, the Kelly, the Dwight. And every guy thinks they are Jim.
I literally could not agree more with you more, teammate. Not a weird concept at all.
Thanks. I think we can all agree Rashida Jones is a major pool honey.
You can’t compare Dwight with Ron. I love Ron dearly, but Dwight Schrute is the ultimate character. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
I thought the same thing – Both of those two are in a league of their own.
At very least, they should have been a wash. Dwight K is a fuggin boss. Well, an assistant to a fuggin boss anyways.

The Christ Pratt bloopers should be NSFW, just got caught watching them from laughing way too loud.
I have a man-crush on Chris Pratt. There I said it.
You’re not alone
Michael, Jim, Pam, and Deight can only be rivaled by Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer.
Dwight*. I could hear my boss’s footsteps towards my cube and didn’t have time to proof read.
Personally I thought parks and rec got kind of repetitive in episodes. There was no real character development, and all Aziz Ansari did was annoy the hell out of me. Overall, it was a good show, but I think The Office wins this battle. The Office had character development, it was always coming up with new ways for each character to play a funny role in the show, and no two episodes were really the same as far as humor.
Where’s Creed at?
… Orin?
No way 3:58 is funnier than the “comeback story” clip, or the responses to his ice cream cone take.
Had to pick between going to bed at a decent time last night or watching the Season 5 finale of Parks and Rec…guess who’s tired today.
Give me your keys.
Evan you haven’t even graduated yet. Fuck outta here.
Guilty.
