The US Office: 10 Worst Episodes

7. Todd Packer - Season 7 Episode 17

The Office Worst Episode
NBC

Everyone's favourite foul-mouthed travelling salesman - Todd Packer, returns in season 7 in search for a desk job in Scranton. Michael is overjoyed at the news but the rest of the branch are mortified considering Packer's pigheadedness and the way he has treated them in the past. Dwight and Jim decide to team up and force Packer out by telling him there was a job opportunity down in Florida. Meanwhile Pam tries to keep everyone happy in her role as office administrator.

What sucks: Too much Pack-man. The beauty of his character was that he would turn up in small doses, deliver some awful one-liners and leave again. A whole episode of his jackassery is exhausting. Also, Andy comes off as an even more annoying spoiled brat than usual when he takes advantage of Erin's good nature and gets her to give him the new computer.

What doesn't suck: Jim and Dwight coming up with prank ideas together and Dwight comforting Kevin when he gets self conscious about his weight by telling him that he would be considered "a promising up and comer" in sumo culture.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
