The Mysterious Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Erin Hannon vs. April Ludgate
Even aside from being bottom-of-the-totem-pole employees, there are a handful of factors that unite Office Erin and Parks April. For whatever reason, they both radiate a strange attractiveness due to their strong sense of independence and unflappable ability to never be insecure about anything at all.
Furthermore, despite the fact that their mutual quirkiness makes them not fit into the culture of their workplaces at all, both April and Erin indirectly provide life-changing rays of sunshine to coworkers who become their significant others (hence the archetype label). Office Erin unintentionally gets Andy Bernard’s life on a controlled track, giving him a reason to keep his head on straight. Likewise, Parks April bonds over goofy crap while not doing her job with Andy Dwyer, who is henceforth given a good reason to get his act together and move on past the breakup with Ann.
Most importantly, both of these ladies are downright weird as strange homebodies who I would never trust to take care of a child’s life.
Neither of these contestants are worthy enough to give their series a point. Zero points rewarded.

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.
