The Office: Ranking Every Main Character Worst To Best

17. Meredith Palmer

Unfortunately, it is relatively easy to rank Meredith at the bottom of this list. In the collection of side characters that work inside Scranton's branch of Dunder Mifflin, Meredith is perhaps the most underdeveloped and unimportant. While Kate Flannery is a dependable comedic performer, she wasn't given enough with this character to be memorable, and her one-note sexually promiscuous characteristics grew old very fast.

There is a little bit of merit to the character, in that she has some great interactions with the other cast members, in most cases, by making them uncomfortable. Additionally, the narrative in which she was hit by Michael Scott's car was an excellent basis for an episode.

Ultimately this character was put through the wringer. She suffered many mishaps, including breaking her pelvis, having her hair set ablaze, contracting herpes, and being attacked by a racoon on multiple occasions. But she never did anything, and things just happen to her, which made her incredibly unimportant to the show's forward momentum. If Meredith were to be cut, it wouldn't have made an impact.
