The "Jim is a douche" narrative is the most egregious misread in TV history. The Internet has been trying to make it a thing for so long and it's just absurd.

God, I love you.

Lenny: your rebuttal?

His relentless bullying and gaslighting of his clearly autistic coworker is pretty damning

Dwight? Michael? Creed? Kevin?

You’ll have to be more specific.

Do you consider yourself a Jim?

I came to my conclusion having no clue that it was a thing. I assumed he was universally beloved. I’m glad I was wrong.

i don't like jim or his shite attitude, but he is fun to watch in a tv show

I think the big problem is that early on the show is modeled after the British version where Michael/David and Dwight/Gareth are far more annoying and unlikeable. So when they pivot to making Dwight and Michael more sympathetic it makes Jim look bad in retrospect.

Is the Jim in the British version a douche though?

Jim is a douche because he kept staring at the camera

It's been a while since I watched it, but I don't think so. He's a lot more depressed and is actually the subject of bullying from David Brent a few times.

The pranks weren't such a big deal in the British office. The only one I remember is the stapler in the jello.
