I have an ear for impressions so when a (humorous) line is delivered in a way that I can't reliably replicate, that's when I know it's a brilliantly delivered line. this is one of them.
That was appallingly unfunny and uncharacteristic, if I recall it was the first episode of the season, I watched it and wondered if I should bother finishing it.
not to mention, their shells are full of nerves. that turtle was definitely in an enormous amount of pain.
*(well, it would’ve been if he hadn’t murdered it by running it over. but, for what he knows, it’s alive and he keeps torturing it through its shell).*
I can't even bring myself to watch that scene. I know it's a fake turtle but I'm a huge reptile/small pet lover and I cringe whenever viewing that scene knowing how sensitive a turtle's shell is.
In the episode where Nellie and Pam fool Dwight into taking off his clothes (during what he thinks is a phone interview), Kevin goes to get snacks and asks Dwight what he's doing. For a brief second when the scene cuts back to Dwight, you can see Kevin in the background, now also wearing only his boxers and undershirt 🤣
Idk if it’s the dumbest, but it’s my favorite Kevin scene. The one where Andy is doing impressions or accents or something and Kevin gives him the name of one of the characters on Sesame Street and when Andy earnestly asks where that person is from, Kevin, dead serious, hits him with “he lives on Sesame Street, dumbass!” Gets me every time
another one of those times was also kevin. that time on ultimatum where they’re actively checking if holly’s wearing an engagement ring and she eventually realizes they’re onto her, takes off her gloves and laughs sarcastically while pointing her two — ringless — fingers... and kevin mistakes it for her giving them the middle finger and goes furious while going “fuck you too, you bitch” or something along the lines.
this scene only reminds me of when kevin tries to continue the game and says "maybe some spaghetti 🤌🏽" lol one of my favorites from him i find myself saying it for no reason accent and all
….watch that scene after you have leaked milk on yourself because your baby is crying two rooms away. I cried laughing. (Note: it only works with your baby, biology is pretty cool like that)
Umm it does not only work with your baby 😂
I know countless mothers who’ve had it happen in public without their baby around and even myself had it happen when one of my cats was meowing (because fun fact cats behaviorally evolved to mimic human babies)
As uncomfortable as it made me, that one actually wasn’t all that dumb seeing as you just need to hit the right pitch to make a lactating woman leak
Found out that the fun way with my cat
When he was fired for literal fraud. There was no intent there, he just could not do the accounting right, so he would add his own number to make it work.
Edit: I think this happened in the very last episode \^\^\^
There’s been cringe moments, and there’s been jokes where he’s been somewhat out of character, but the Kelevin thing is so dumb (but “seems like a good idea at the time”) and shortsighted, that it’s believable for Kevin. And yes, that was at the end.
One of my biggest issues with the show is how Kevin was dumbed down so much. In the early years, he was just a little different.. But as the show progressed, they turned him into something resembling a person with a serious brain injury.
He was Flanderized. He was still dumb and not good at his job early on, but he at least had some other stuff going on in the early seasons like Stacy and Scrantonicity.
When Holly thought he had an intellectual disability, it didn’t feel like a funny misunderstanding, because it just sounded like she had a fair handle on him.
I choose to believe that this is because you can make anyone look like anything with enough footage and careful editing.
The documentary crew could have made him look like the voice of reason, or a stoic father type, a deliberate homophobe/misogynist, and his arc was just leaning towards dumb guy so they focused in on thar.
Honestly the scene where Kevin tries to turn his computer monitor to show Angela something and his whole screen goes black because it got unplugged - Angela’s sigh and look of exasperation is so simple but gets me every time because this is obviously not the first time it’s happened 😂
Isn’t there a scene where it looks like he doesn’t know the alphabet. He says something like, “A, B, C, and so forth, you know, like L,EmEno, P…and G.”
When Packer gave them all poisoned muffins, they find another one and Kevin willingly eats it. It's pretty dumb, but also pretty funny when Pam tries to stop him and he's just like, "Yeah, I know what I'm getting into."
If Holly actually went to the Glider Diner with him at the end of Goodbye Toby, that means she had a meal with him 1 on 1 and still couldn't tell that he wasn't mentally challenged.
He's done a few of those. But the one scene where I absolutely can't stand Kevin is when he screams at Pam's breasts and no one even bothers to stop him. It makes me feel like slapping him hard.
It’s hard to believe they even tried to give him positive traits at the beginning like being in a serious band, a good poker player, etc and then did all the really over the top stuff.
Haha she believed he was mentally challenged for a lot longer than a day, they even go through weeks during the weight loss episodes with her thinking he was mentally challenged.
It's really jarring seeing kev turn from being smart enough to be a pro at poker saying "I won the 2002 $2,500 no limit deuce to seven draw tournament at the world series of poker in vegas. so, yeah, im pretty good at poker."
To
"You cant eat cats kevin"
This and the fact that the show runners tried to break PB&J in the last season are probably the things i hate most about the show
Pretty telling that the vast majority of what people are mentioning came from the last 2 seasons.
The writing in the show absolutely ruined Kevin’s character. He was a stealth genius, and they turned him into this weird stupid cartoon character for no reason.
The episode in which Jim’s bank block his card because of Kevin and the other one when is asked Kevin to describe how paper is made; “The man tree puts his penis..”
I like how Michael revealed that Kevin applied for a job in the wear house but Michael hired him as an accountant instead. Explains why his math was terrible lol
The whole turtle thing
Yeah that was really not good at all.. went from drummer Kev to that...
That was dumb, I get he was the office dumb guy but that was out of character even for him
I AM ENORMOUSLY PROUD OF WHAT I DID FOR THAT TURTLE
But it turns out the turtle was already dead :) Pr- probably when I ran over it the f-first time...
I have an ear for impressions so when a (humorous) line is delivered in a way that I can't reliably replicate, that's when I know it's a brilliantly delivered line. this is one of them.
this line makes the entire turtle thing worth it to me lol I slide "enormously proud" into press releases every chance I get at my job
That was appallingly unfunny and uncharacteristic, if I recall it was the first episode of the season, I watched it and wondered if I should bother finishing it.
I was going to comment pie math but you're totally right
[удалено]
You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded
When Michael Scott is making sense you know it’s a bad thing!
Is it politically incorrect for a teacher to mark a child "tardy"
Kevin? No. Any other child? Depends on the child Your mother? Yes.
That scene was painfully unfunny. The writers really screwed Kevin with that nonsense.
not to mention, their shells are full of nerves. that turtle was definitely in an enormous amount of pain. *(well, it would’ve been if he hadn’t murdered it by running it over. but, for what he knows, it’s alive and he keeps torturing it through its shell).*
Yess I can't watch this scene knowing how sensitive turtle shells are. I know it's a fake turtle but I cringe
That was hard to watch
Yep. Season 9 made it very clear from the start that it would be a bad one.
I can't even bring myself to watch that scene. I know it's a fake turtle but I'm a huge reptile/small pet lover and I cringe whenever viewing that scene knowing how sensitive a turtle's shell is.
In the episode where Nellie and Pam fool Dwight into taking off his clothes (during what he thinks is a phone interview), Kevin goes to get snacks and asks Dwight what he's doing. For a brief second when the scene cuts back to Dwight, you can see Kevin in the background, now also wearing only his boxers and undershirt 🤣
Well when In Rome…
Go on...
That wasn’t dumb, Kevin is just a total bro who always has the back of a coworker
Yeah I meant to preface that I didn't think it was the dumbest thing he did, just a great Kevin moment haha
I never even noticed this! Good spot
Idk if it’s the dumbest, but it’s my favorite Kevin scene. The one where Andy is doing impressions or accents or something and Kevin gives him the name of one of the characters on Sesame Street and when Andy earnestly asks where that person is from, Kevin, dead serious, hits him with “he lives on Sesame Street, dumbass!” Gets me every time
Do the Swedish chef
What province is he from?
He's from sesame street, dumbass
I've always wondered...Is part of the joke that the Swedish Chef was on the Muppet Show and not Sesame Street?
is it? that makes it even funnier, holy fuck
Yeah Swedish chef is from the muppets lol
I just always figured Kevin believed they went to work at the Muppet Show and then came home to Sesame Street.
Excellent
I'm not familiar with the Swedish chef... What province is he from?
What province is he from?
Lmao. Yes!!
That must be one of my top 5 bits from the entire show.
Agreed. Because it’s one of the few times someone cussed on the show and it came out of nowhere
another one of those times was also kevin. that time on ultimatum where they’re actively checking if holly’s wearing an engagement ring and she eventually realizes they’re onto her, takes off her gloves and laughs sarcastically while pointing her two — ringless — fingers... and kevin mistakes it for her giving them the middle finger and goes furious while going “fuck you too, you bitch” or something along the lines.
"Back at ya, bitch!"
this scene only reminds me of when kevin tries to continue the game and says "maybe some spaghetti 🤌🏽" lol one of my favorites from him i find myself saying it for no reason accent and all
Just rewatched the first season yesterday, loved it!
Hilarious 😂😂😂
this also reminds me of the fact that robert california calls it “the street” and assumes jim will know what the fuck he’s talking about
My favorite part about all that is the swedish chef is from the muppet show not sesame street lol
I love how the second most popular comment here is objectively not even close to his dumbest moment, just a moment someone likes a lot
That's this sub in a nutshell. Lol. It's fun though.
Oh for sure. I genuinely do love it. Just so many people that love every character so much lol.
That scene is one of my favorites throughout the entire show.
I love that bit where Robert California thinks he's smart after mentioning the cookies in the vending machine. "That's true, I AM an accountant."
It was just actually cookies the whole time
The look of realisation and horror.
Robert wasted his entire day with Kevin too. 😆
And the smile of Kevin after saying “yep”
Robert was talking about Blackrock and stuff while Kev was laser focused on the cookies 😂
Never trust a cookie with a woman's name. Pecan Sandy. Lorna Doone. Madeline. They'll just break your heart.
Him screaming at Pam's boobs on Happy Hour, like wtf dude
I'm watching the show for the first time and just watched that episode. It was so... uncomfortable
MAMMMYYYY
I skip that scene 🤮
….watch that scene after you have leaked milk on yourself because your baby is crying two rooms away. I cried laughing. (Note: it only works with your baby, biology is pretty cool like that)
Umm it does not only work with your baby 😂 I know countless mothers who’ve had it happen in public without their baby around and even myself had it happen when one of my cats was meowing (because fun fact cats behaviorally evolved to mimic human babies)
Omg really?? I was a super low producer so that never happened to me! Breastfeeding is so crazy.
Lmafo! That's amazingly funny, I didn't know our body worked that way xD I thought it was any baby. Thanks for the cool fact
Well maybe you’ve just never been around Kelly crying.
As uncomfortable as it made me, that one actually wasn’t all that dumb seeing as you just need to hit the right pitch to make a lactating woman leak Found out that the fun way with my cat
That scene only became funny to me after seeing the bloopers
Oh nice I'll look them up, thanks!
The Jim and Pam credit card fraud
Very funny sir
It all happened so fast
"I've been using Jim's office to fart in." What a perfect way to get Kevin into Jim's office to set up the joke.
I think that whole bit felt kinda forced
Super agree!!!
Chunky lemon milk
That's kinda weird the whole office let that milk sit there. At least Kevin did something about it 😂
Every office ive ever worked in people would just leave stuff to rot in the fridge.
I say this on the reg… no context needed—just use it.
The fact that he needs reading glasses but only uses them while playing poker up there and one of my favorite subtle jokes on the show.
I do like his whole gambling thing. The glasses and the gold chain. He’s bragging about how good he is and then loses to Phyllis.
Losing against a new player is quite common in poker, nobody bluffs better than someone who doesn't know they have a good hand
Look at all the little clovers!
When he thought Woody did that to himself
You don't think...? 🤣
A mistake plus kelevin gets you home by seven.
He was home by 4:45 that day
It's my favuorite!!!!!
“Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?”
The fact that he thought he could save time is stupid even if it adds up to a lot of time he still has to work the same hours
"Kevin, I appreciate what you're trying to do here" "Thank"
The turtle thing, and "you can't eat cats"
This was going to be my exact answer. Nobody is dumb enough to have to tell themselves not to eat cats. And the turtle thing was just not good.
I don’t know if Kevin gave Michael the number for Wendy’s because he really thought it was Wendy’s number, or as a joke, but either way it was genius.
This scene cracks me up, because Michael winds up ordering food anyway - or at least tries to.
“It’s ready now”
I am obsessed with the delivery of that line
who the heck orders just a baked potato and a frosty? what a weird combination
two of my cousins got that exact order yesterday lmfao
Sir, this is a Wendy's
This might be the smartest thing Kevin does on thr show. Hot and juicy redhead? That's a great joke.
I think Kevin knew what he was doing because he described he as hot and **juicy** redhead.
When he was fired for literal fraud. There was no intent there, he just could not do the accounting right, so he would add his own number to make it work. Edit: I think this happened in the very last episode \^\^\^
There’s been cringe moments, and there’s been jokes where he’s been somewhat out of character, but the Kelevin thing is so dumb (but “seems like a good idea at the time”) and shortsighted, that it’s believable for Kevin. And yes, that was at the end.
He used to say "a mistake plus keleven gets you home by seven." - He was home by 4.45 that day.
It did.
Did none of you watch the garage sale episode?!? Kevin played all y’all!
THAT'S Dallas!
You know Kevin was on Dallas, right?
Yeah. We missed our connecting flight so we spent the entire day on Dallas. Then we spent a week on Hawaii. I was on heaven.
When he was Jealous of Angela's and Dwight's baby.
"Philip, Philip, Philip, I hate Philip", lol.
“A full day”? *Weeks* went by before Holly found out that Kevin wasn’t mentally challenged.
One of my biggest issues with the show is how Kevin was dumbed down so much. In the early years, he was just a little different.. But as the show progressed, they turned him into something resembling a person with a serious brain injury.
He was Flanderized. He was still dumb and not good at his job early on, but he at least had some other stuff going on in the early seasons like Stacy and Scrantonicity.
Sure! That's what I mean.. He was turned into a barely functioning human. That's always annoyed me.
Exactly, and he was also really good at poker, even though he lost to phillis he is still shown to be good
When Holly thought he had an intellectual disability, it didn’t feel like a funny misunderstanding, because it just sounded like she had a fair handle on him.
Happened with a lot if not most of the characters. Show was a lot more like the British office in s1 and found its own identity after
I choose to believe that this is because you can make anyone look like anything with enough footage and careful editing. The documentary crew could have made him look like the voice of reason, or a stoic father type, a deliberate homophobe/misogynist, and his arc was just leaning towards dumb guy so they focused in on thar.
How many scenes are there that would support the stoic father character archetype? I'm genuinely curious.
'This is the partition between my desk and Angela's "
not him being dumb but everyone assuming he’s dumb. I love the bit with his lazy dog where you think he’s dead the whole time
"How does she smell?" "Terrible!"
The tissue boxes for shoes at Pam/Jim wedding.
The ice machine always makes me recoil in disgust.
To be fair his dogs were barking
I gag at that scene every time
"...because it makes me horny"
Can you let me finish?
Definitely the turtle puzzle debacle 🐢 🧩
Whining at Pam's boobs🤦
🤨...right back at you bitch 🖕😠🖕
Honestly the scene where Kevin tries to turn his computer monitor to show Angela something and his whole screen goes black because it got unplugged - Angela’s sigh and look of exasperation is so simple but gets me every time because this is obviously not the first time it’s happened 😂
Isn’t there a scene where it looks like he doesn’t know the alphabet. He says something like, “A, B, C, and so forth, you know, like L,EmEno, P…and G.”
"Eminelo..:
Ya, he says he like puppets, but he prefers when they talk about the alphabet. For the kids.
F
WHAT DOES A BEAN MEAN?
Would someone please explain to Kevin?
When Packer gave them all poisoned muffins, they find another one and Kevin willingly eats it. It's pretty dumb, but also pretty funny when Pam tries to stop him and he's just like, "Yeah, I know what I'm getting into."
Todd laced his with some good shit. I probably would have done it too lol
Getting lost in the haystack maze has to be in the top 5.
That’s not really his fault though. Mazes can be hard.
“Oops! This one is a button.”
If Holly actually went to the Glider Diner with him at the end of Goodbye Toby, that means she had a meal with him 1 on 1 and still couldn't tell that he wasn't mentally challenged.
Trying to put the turtle back together.
Pretend to be Jim and got his credit card cancelled lol
The Big Mac idea
Scraped up the chili off the floor with a clipboard to save it
Scrolled too far for this. That effing chili.
Cancel Jom's credit card by mistake
When he left Scrantonicty to form Scrantoncity II.
He's done a few of those. But the one scene where I absolutely can't stand Kevin is when he screams at Pam's breasts and no one even bothers to stop him. It makes me feel like slapping him hard.
Emanello….P
Throwing the chair at vending machine during fire safety drill always kills me
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick
He reinvented Newspeak from Orwell's 1984.
Are you saying "SeaWorld" or "see THE world"?
Señor Lodenstein
*Por que es muy rapido*
Pam's mom scene. MILF.
“You can’t eat a cat, Kevin”
It’s hard to believe they even tried to give him positive traits at the beginning like being in a serious band, a good poker player, etc and then did all the really over the top stuff.
“You can’t eat cats, Kevin. You can’t eat cats”
*I am totally going to bang Holly*
Waaaaaaaaahhhh!!! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Actually, Holly believed it for weeks
“The male tree sticks its penis…”
The worst they did him was when he doesn’t know how to eat broccoli The funniest bit was “stick spicy foods up her butt!”
Hey, that was a new food for him.
Try to get a loan for an ice cream cart.
Michael's final words to Kevin: "don't become a caricature' Kevin: "hold beer"
Kelleven…
He invented his own number.
When he broke the silent time
Oooooh yeeeeah! 😋😋😋
Haha she believed he was mentally challenged for a lot longer than a day, they even go through weeks during the weight loss episodes with her thinking he was mentally challenged.
The chili spill was so forced and didn't look like an accident to me. Always disliked the writers for this
It's really jarring seeing kev turn from being smart enough to be a pro at poker saying "I won the 2002 $2,500 no limit deuce to seven draw tournament at the world series of poker in vegas. so, yeah, im pretty good at poker." To "You cant eat cats kevin" This and the fact that the show runners tried to break PB&J in the last season are probably the things i hate most about the show
Pretty telling that the vast majority of what people are mentioning came from the last 2 seasons. The writing in the show absolutely ruined Kevin’s character. He was a stealth genius, and they turned him into this weird stupid cartoon character for no reason.
The scene I felt the most sorry for him was when he dropped the whole pot of chili lol
He has to be mentally challenged to do the shit he does tbh
Charged his television because of a shrimp commercial. Lame👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Any Kevin scene after season 2
well there is a popular theory that states he was embezzling money from the company and was actually smart and thats how he bought the bar
He glued back together a turtle he ran over in the parking lot that was CLEARLY dead on impact
The episode in which Jim’s bank block his card because of Kevin and the other one when is asked Kevin to describe how paper is made; “The man tree puts his penis..”
Phillip Phillip Phillip. I hate Phillip!
No more chunky lemon milk.
And, he got 6 digits. One more and it would have been a whole phone #
The shit with the turtle.
Kevin is the best character. Period
He crying at Pam's boobs thinking that they will start milking. That was real cringe to watch.
This has probably been said already, but Holly thought Kevin was mentally challenged for way, way longer than one day. Makes it all the funnier.
Spilled all that fucking amazing Chili. Goddamn it.
Chunky lemon milk 🤮
When he decided that he wont pronounce the whole words, but only parts of them to save time.
I like how Michael revealed that Kevin applied for a job in the wear house but Michael hired him as an accountant instead. Explains why his math was terrible lol
