This character was an interesting presence on the show, as he was rather forgettable, but thanks to that was able to create a decent niche in the series. Although Oscar's involvement in the episode's mainline narrative was often subject to minor contributions, he acted as a great eye into the absurdity of the leading figures, thanks to his reserved and believable personality.

As one of Dunder Mifflin's accountants, Oscar had a vital role in the business, and his slightly dull personality was an offset of his job position. Oscar Nunez did a fantastic job of keeping the character engaging whilst still maintaining this sense of boredom.

Oscar became a far more dynamic character in the show after he came out as gay. This helped to add a new perspective to the series and became a superb baseline for narratives and character development. However, despite this new direction for the show, Oscar was a poorly defined character, which made him sink into irrelevancy when compared to the wild and outlandish ensemble cast.
