As you know if you've used a dating app in the last five years the US version of The Office remains incredibly popular, even almost 10 years after the show's finale.
The show has such a strong following that its removal from Netflix sparked outcry and depression in thousands of viewers. The Office" has the level of popularity where there seems to be dubious talk of a reboot every few months, one maybe more borne of wishful thinking than actual interest on the creative end. Additionally, the series innovated and set trends in the world of American sitcoms, including that of the talking head interview comedic device, which would be adapted by shows like "Parks and Recreation" even when it stopped making sense.
The faux-documentary following the misadventures and relationships of the seemingly ordinary employees of the Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company has a special place in the hearts of many. People love to laugh at characters like Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute, as well as identify with the more down-to-earth characters like the star-crossed lovers Jim and Pam.
Not a lot of people, however, would say a character they relate to on the show, or even root for, is Ed Helms' Andy Bernard. Andy is a bit of a doofus and sometimes more than a bit of a jerk. He reminds people constantly of his Ivy League education. He's full of insecurities that he does not hide well. But for Helms, who portrayed the hot-headed Cornell graduate, Andy is not only someone he relates to, but somebody he aspires to be.
