That storyline seems like the writers said “hey let’s make Jim a huge asshole for a while!” without realizing that he’s actually been one the whole time

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Guys, I used to be a Jim defender and then I rewatched the show with Lenny's words in mind and it became so clear.

Jim is a selfish douche. It's there from the first season. He is very mean to Dwight and Michael early on.

Thank you, Tom. I'm not even saying that makes him a bad character necessarily, but let's just call a spade a spade.

But they're presented as such. We're supposed to believe Jim is just a cool, affable guy. Yet he is an as*!

Michael's obliviousness gets a pass occasionally though.
