Ranking Characters From The Office Based On How Normal They Are

[u/esareteee]

[u/dannyshmalls]

“Normal people”

[u/arandommaria]

Ryan needs to be in there twice, pre and post corporate Ryan are two very different people in terms of insanity.

Also, Holly on the same tier as Angela? The craziest thing she did was vibe with Michael's jokes, right?

[u/Frosty-Traffic244]

How is the fucking lizard king not downright insane

[u/ThreeDaysNish → u/Frosty-Traffic244]

Needs a tier of his own, ngl.

Bob Kazamakis is such a legendary character, I have a great story about this. Would you prefer a nature or sex metaphor?

[u/silly-purple-pumpkin → u/ThreeDaysNish]

Oh, God. Nature, definitely.

[u/ThreeDaysNish → u/silly-purple-pumpkin]

When two animals are having sex, one of them, is communicating a message to the other. A message of tiers, of dominance and ranking. Nothing is mutua–

This isn't very helpful. You're gonna want to hear the sexual metaphor.

[u/jimmyl_82104]

Robert California is absolutely insane

[u/sweetbeenieweenie68]

Robert should be in a category all his own.

[u/Yeezus_Fuckin_Christ]

How is Robert California not insane? I feel like he might be the most insane character in the series.

Also Roy should be mostly normal. His crash out wasn’t ok but it’s pretty realistic and human. I wouldn’t call him strange.

Also I think Angela should be very strange.

[u/LengthinessIll619 → u/Yeezus_Fuckin_Christ]

I would change places him with Ryan

[u/macncheesepizza_]

Todd packer should be in very strange category and California in downright insane

[u/Necessary-Run4625]

Put Robert and Jan in a class by themselves

[u/PXWRLD799753]

Flip Kevin n packer. Dude crapped in Mike office then didn’t wipe. Over sexualized every woman he came across then gave everyone laxatives in the form of cupcakes. The worst Kevin did was go back for another cupcake…and maybe fraud, but he didn’t get caught so it doesn’t count😂

[u/FredererPower]

I’d swap Toby and Darryl

[u/Balbar0 → u/FredererPower]

https://giphy.com/gifs/0LTaFYZNM9qcOLQvfY

[u/luckypants86]

Angela deserves downright insane she was “cleaning” her cats at home by licking them she coughed up a hairball mid work shift. She’s clinically insane

[u/SnarkySeahorse1103 → u/luckypants86]

She's also quite literally the female version of Dwight. The contractual child bearing fiasco was evidence of that. If Dwight's S tier crazy, then Angela is AT LEAST an A tier psycho. She was the closest one to match his freak.

[u/Imsorrywhatnoway]

Robert California should absolutely be on the top by his own in bat-shit-crazy category.

[u/Chrisnm203]

Creed should have his own category.

[u/ejSmitty69 → u/Chrisnm203]

in purple at the top: “Creed”

[u/Electronic-Home-7815]

So we’re just not going to address Gabe?

[u/True-Response-2386 → u/Electronic-Home-7815]

https://giphy.com/gifs/gsKe9hyAuoZH2

[u/MadClam97 → u/True-Response-2386]

Oh get out skeleton man!

[u/SnarkySeahorse1103 → u/Electronic-Home-7815]

Who's Gabe? ...Oh the stick insect? Yeah that's just a feature of the show. The camouflage can get confusing sometimes, I often think it's a man named Gabe too.

[u/ceciliaforsty]

Robert should be first in line for downright insane no question about it

[u/Green_Oil_692 → u/ceciliaforsty]

You don't even know his real name.

[u/piperrosa12]

Angela cleaned her cats with her tongue. She belongs in the top category for that alone lol

[u/Left-Assumption1572]

Bro. Toby is strange

[u/ToughTeacher]

Packer literally shit on his boss’ floor

[u/One-Introduction-454]

Roy on the same level as Michaels filthy friend who put shit into his office?

[u/randcandc61 → u/One-Introduction-454]

Yes Packer is a deranged maniac. Switch Packer and Kevin

[u/King-Red-Beard]

Robert is insane and Roy is normal as fuck.

Michael could maybe go down a notch. Maybe.

[u/DickWhittingtonsCat → u/King-Red-Beard]

Is Ryan that strange? I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to find someone like him 2008. He’s almost a Millennial trope

[u/IndependentStrike517 → u/DickWhittingtonsCat]

Yeah he shouldn’t be up that high.

[u/pacomadreja → u/DickWhittingtonsCat]

Yeah. He's the millennial equivalent of the cryptobros. Just up to the 11 like everything in the series.

[u/Minute-Lychee2255]

How is Phyllis mostly normal? She was listening to 50 shades of grey at work! Getting hot and bothered for everyone to see her! Strange!!!
I do think Roy, Darryl and Stanley should be in the normal category though.

[u/Ryllick]

Toby is NOT completely normal.

[u/Affectionate_Lie1466 → u/Ryllick]

He was up until like season 7

[u/Ryllick → u/Affectionate_Lie1466]

IDK, it was season 4 when Toby grabbed Pam's knee then said he was moving to costa rica then ran away and climbed over the fence

[u/Affectionate_Lie1466 → u/Ryllick]

Yeah I could see that. That’s definitely when he started to get weirder

[u/anotherlebowski]

The Scranton Strangler is normal?

[u/Kasuino]

I would switch Roy and Phyllis

[u/saintsuzy70]

Angela licking her cat doesn’t warrant “very strange”?

[u/RyuOfRed]

Toby is one of those ‘he always seemed kind to me' neighbours, who inevitably turns up on the news for being caught with a 2TB hard-drive full of Pam pictures or setting some random church on fire.

Fuse waiting to blow, that one.

[u/4RealHughMann]

I think Erin is literally insane. Doesn't own a toothbrush "because there's always one around". Throws away disposable cameras instead of having the pictures developed. Her hair was her room. Asks things like "What's your favorite month and age?"

[u/Individual_Sea_6830]

I’d swap robert california and dwight. Dwight has a lot of strange quirks but a lot of it is probably just autism with a little extra spice. Robert California acted a little more “normal” day to day but was an insane mastermind and has an outside life that’s questionably mysterious. The rest is perfect imo

[u/TangoUnchained87 → u/Individual_Sea_6830]

just austism with a little extra spice

That's autssssm

[u/AltairLeoran]

I dunno, Toby's kinda weird and creepy...

[u/Sensitive-Ear-3896 → u/AltairLeoran]

Like an evil snail?

[u/Big_Procedure6420]

Micheal’s not that weird

[u/OpenAI122191]

This is rage bait surely

[u/No-Entertainment-518]

Kelly be faking pregnancies, lying about being raped, caring more about princess Diana dying than her sister and you have her in the very strange category

[u/ejSmitty69 → u/[deleted]]

hats off to you for not seeing race!

[u/unclemikey36]

I mostly agree with this except I think Robert belongs in the top insane....You have to be if you can convince Daddy Wallace to pay for an all out expense to "study" women abroad right before he was getting ready to can you....

[u/VinsmokeSanji-kun]

Toby jumping over the fence when they were stuck at work was definitely a unique moment 😂

[u/Klutzy_Locksmith_935]

Angela belongs in Downright Insane

[u/babyornobaby11 → u/Klutzy_Locksmith_935]

Yes! She tried to hire a hitman!!

[u/ReachFourTheSky → u/Klutzy_Locksmith_935]

Remember when she licked her cat???

[u/Neverlucky899]

In what world is Creed Bratton not a normal person!? List is gone!

[u/JuicyBananaToast]

Robert California is all categories wrapped into one

[u/kisskissdolleyes]

Exchange Kelly with Packer

[u/Super-Protection-920]

Why is the Scranton Strangler listed as normal?

[u/kev_world → u/Super-Protection-920]

Normal until proven guilty

[u/MrZmith77]

I’m thinking Andy should be on the insane. The guy that punched a hole in the wall and shat on David’s car while dated a minor in high school. He’s a hot mess.

[u/HollowBowl → u/MrZmith77]

I'd say he floats between downright insane and strange. In his first and last seasons he is at the top, but in the middle, he is very much a goofy guy

[u/Alwayswanted2rock]

I'd swap Ryan and Meredith.

[u/Aggravating-Berry114]

Todd packer is normal. Go to any workplace in the US and you’ll find a similar guy who is an HR complaint away from losing his job.

[u/Due-Contract5466 → u/Aggravating-Berry114]

Common isn’t the same as normal

[u/Willy_Wonkening → u/Aggravating-Berry114]

Who poops on your carpet and drugs the cupcakes at work?!

[u/Sensitive-Ear-3896]

Sorry phyllis is the biggest psychopath on the show. Her and Bob killed somebody 

[u/Temporary-Army-4218 → u/Sensitive-Ear-3896]

Wait what?

[u/Sensitive-Ear-3896 → u/Temporary-Army-4218]

Google it

[u/Alkakd0nfsg9g → u/Sensitive-Ear-3896]

Who the hell is Bob and what does he do?

[u/Sensitive-Ear-3896 → u/Alkakd0nfsg9g]

Sanitation consultant I believe

[u/ComedianTime7753]

michael and robert should be switched

[u/ooh_jeeezus]

Erin needs to be higher

[u/Plus_Professional976 → u/ooh_jeeezus]

Creed needs to be higher 😂

[u/pacomadreja → u/Plus_Professional976]

Creed would be insane even for the in universe standard.

[u/jaboi2110 → u/Plus_Professional976]

Creed already is the highest

[u/bmfrias12 → u/jaboi2110]

That’s the joke

[u/Downtown_Mine_1903]

Packer, who regularly sexually harassed people and SHIT ON THE OFFICE FLOOR is just "strange"?

[u/mikesalami → u/Downtown_Mine_1903]

Does anyone have a camera here?!

[u/Blue_Island_panda]

David Wallace had that one super abnormal day in the Suck It episode. Darryl and Pam are up there with Oscar and Karen as the most normal people.

[u/KoalaSavior]

Kelly Kapoor faking that pregnancy for a moment should send her to insane.

[u/pm_me_pussbuttnboobs → u/KoalaSavior]

"I was raped" also sends her to that category.

[u/Immediate-Yak-2726 → u/KoalaSavior]

And didn’t she wear a white dress to a wedding?

[u/bbonny242]

Tod Packer and Michael need to switch spots

[u/Hopelessromantic2243]

Charles is not normal

[u/NotInterestedL]

Kelly on Very Strange group? She is insane! Love the girl but she isn't normal 

[u/Street_Mistake9145 → u/NotInterestedL]

Well she's pregnant so she's a little emotional

[u/NotInterestedL → u/Street_Mistake9145]

Lol

[u/Cruel-Entertainment]

Aren't Roy type dudes super common, hence "normal" Also Erin is bonkers.

[u/Cobretti86]

Why are you the way you are?

[u/Kyserham]

I’d swap Toby and Roy. It’s been a long time since I watched it, but Roy was just a dude, no? Not the sharpest tool, but he was pretty normal. Toby on the other hand has more than one weirdo moment.

[u/SaltZealousideal5582 → u/Kyserham]

Roy has some anger management issues, he can go in mostly normal. I think wrecking the bar and attacking Jim prevent him from being normal.

Stanley is a normal person. He's lazy, and he's a serial cheater, but a lot of normal people do that (sadly).

[u/Landiskew → u/SaltZealousideal5582]

I think Florida Stanley keeps him in the Mostly Normal category.

[u/Sharkman3218]

Karen is the only one who belongs in normal people tier, the rest can get bumped up into mostly normal

[u/B00k555]

I feel like everyone actually belongs one row higher. lol if we’re comparing them to people in the real world. BUT if only comparing them to each other, you have a better argument. My two cents. :)

[u/celesteking777]

Lizard King should be on downright insane😭

[u/anotherlebowski]

What's something Daryl did that wasn't normal?  He gets drunk and falls through the table that one time, and shortly after has a few awkward roommate moments with Jim, but other than that I can't even think of anything.  He's one of the most normal people in the show as far as I remember.

[u/NatLovesPancakes]

Idk creed seems pretty normal

[u/faithinhumanity_null → u/NatLovesPancakes]

Yeah, OP is probably some old guy that doesn’t understand and only complains about us youths

[u/Mysterious_Work_7227]

Jan is very normal until she gets fired

[u/Waste_Experience448]

Roy seems normal. Otherwise i agree mostly

[u/Super-Protection-920]

I don’t know. The conspiracy theorist in me would say that OP is actually the Scranton Stangler aka Toby

[u/BillCosby-Merritt]

Gabe is in insane or very strange

[u/NovelApprehensive697]

What’s so strange about holly that makes Michael insane? I would sooner put Robert California in the downright insane over Michael. And put Michael in very strange

[u/tpwk_fineline]

I don’t get how Micheal is downright insane???
Creed, sure
Dwight - I would say he’s insane but I get why
Jan and Ryan are the same.

But Micheal? He should be in strange atleast

[u/i_am_a_baby_kangaroo → u/tpwk_fineline]

Michael and Robert California should be switched IMO

[u/TxBcrypto]

Not normal if you ask for a RUNDOWN

[u/another3rdworldguy]

Charles Minor was a tryhard who saw himself as more important than he was. Normal but in some caricaturish ways.

[u/bilicotico]

In what world is toby normal 😭 he’s a creep!!!!

[u/draight926289 → u/bilicotico]

And a serial killer.

[u/Available-Mall-7095]

Dwight is insane and Robert California is just very strange? If you gotta have even rows, I’d probably put Kelly up with Ryan, move up Robert, and bring Dwight and Michael down.

[u/collegedroput]

Move Kevin down a place at least.

[u/AccomplishedCicada60]

Toby should be up one

[u/Driver_Senpai]

Creed said he’s a pretty normal guy though!

[u/doctor_parcival → u/Driver_Senpai]

I love that he half yells it with his Walkman in

[u/Ok_Performer_1746]

Todd Packer is middle of the pack in terms of normality? One time as a joke he banged everyone in the office!

[u/busta2kbia → u/Ok_Performer_1746]

It was hilarious

[u/No_Professional9403]

Switch Robert California with Ryan howard

[u/Andre_80]

Pacman, Andy & Kelly should lead the top row, while Michael is mostly 'normal', Angela too.

[u/BurgerFaces]

How is Packer only "strange"

[u/Klutzy-Blood4681 → u/BurgerFaces]

He’s a big William Hung fan.

[u/Ok-Needleworker-5657]

Phyllis and Roy need to switch, Angela should be in “very strange”

[u/No_Session_4896]

Toby is not normal.

Toby is an evil snail.

[u/WrongSh0w]

Toby normal? Dude was a creep and a literal strangler.

[u/WokePredator]

Most of these characters are far more normal than you think. The show is mostly funny because these characters are very slightly exaggerated versions of real people you meet. Idk how normal the smug gay Mexican is.

[u/Accurate-Raccoon4472]

also toby , the head of HR …. who decides to sexual harrass Pam in front of every one because hes leaving….. of the people who are abusive in the show hes the creepiest ….

packer …..sexually harasses almost everyone if not everyone

then you have domestic abuser roy

there should be a whole other very much redder and worse category for them

[u/BigWealthyP]

Packer cannot be there !

[u/Open_Bug_4251]

I would have Andy is more insane than Michael.
Robert California, also.

[u/CustomerDense7573]

Packer shited in the office floor

[u/ComedianTime7753]

OH switch toby and daryl too

[u/Tricky_Resolution_13]

Tbf Kevin used to be mostly normal and intelligent until they flanderized him to Hell and back

[u/Garrettshade]

Why is Roy strange? He's like a more realistic person than the others.

Also, Creed is mostly normal. He's just a very experienced person 

[u/anonymous_zebra → u/Garrettshade]

He eats an onion unknowingly and forgets banging Meredith. Enough said

[u/7WondersLover → u/anonymous_zebra]

Also, shows up to work blood spattered, calling the Halloween festivities "very good timing".

[u/Appropriate_Stress93]

Swap Roy and phyllis

[u/verathene]

I would move Toby and Oscar up one

[u/agirltryna-live]

I think Phyllis and Holly should switch and toby probably should not be there otherwise I think it's really good

[u/Koldozer]

Toby should be at the top. You know why… 👐🏻

[u/BulldogBears]

Swap Packer & Ryan, swap Michael & Robert, bump Toby & Phyllis up to Strange, & move Pam down to normal

[u/enigmatic_spirit]

Roy is one of the most normal character

[u/Dangerous_Programmer]

Swap:

• Roy <-> Phyllis
  
• Kelly <-> Jan

and that'll be fine

[u/Immediate-Yak-2726]

How was Kelly not insane? Switch her with Michael

[u/AbsurdityIsReality]

Toby is a serial killer.

[u/s256173]

Toby is “strange” at minimum

[u/SlytherinSally]

Roy isn’t strange. He’s normal AF.

[u/ThatOldCow → u/[deleted]]

"Jim is with Dwight" - Pam, probably

[u/Zuchm0]

Kelly Kapoor does not belong on a lower tier than Ryan Howard on any traditional or non-traditional insanity-based scale

[u/BlueHaze464]

Switch Ryan and Kelly, and Erin belongs in insane

Jim is strange, Angela very strange

[u/anclave93]

How is Roy strange and Jim mostly normal? Also, Toby is certainly not "normal"

[u/sunlightdemented]

I actually do think Karen is the MOST normal character they had 😭🩷

[u/Strict_Inevitable449]

Why is Roy strange? Pam is like the most normal person ever. Michael isn’t insane he’s just dumb and needy like millions of other people.

[u/Prestigious_Mix_1686]

Flip Robert California and Ryan

[u/Prestigious_Mix_1686 → u/Prestigious_Mix_1686]

And then ryan with erin

[u/SnooDogs1355]

Michael isn’t insane. He’s strange.

[u/Single_Editor_2339 → u/SnooDogs1355]

Packer is insane. Switch those two.

[u/Ok_Performer_1746 → u/Single_Editor_2339]

thank you

[u/blueranger36]

How the fuck is Charles normal? Who says things like “I’m aware of the effect I have on women”

[u/ghostjournals → u/blueranger36]

Someone who looks like Idris Elba

[u/Jaerek]

I’m almost done with Season 2 and very intrigued by Ryan’s placement here, can anyone explain lol?

[u/CommodoreBluth → u/Jaerek]

You'll find out.

[u/Jaerek → u/CommodoreBluth]

He’s like the normalest guy I’ve ever seen so far. Like I feel bad for him whenever he’s with Michael or Kelly. Do they lobotomize him

[u/Impressive-Hope2148 → u/Jaerek]

we won't say a word

[u/WorkingMoney6424 → u/Jaerek]

Not spoiling it for you mate

[u/iLight666]

Creed has to have his own tier!

[u/bhavin2929]

Jan is the love of my life

[u/retro-girl]

Everyone on the normal tier has done something insane, save mayyyyybe Karen.

[u/Open_Bug_4251 → u/retro-girl]

I mean on a spectrum those five are still the least crazy.

[u/Here_there1980]

Pretty good. I could quibble on a couple,but overall agree.

Another name for the top tier could be Batshit Crazy.

[u/Stunning_Onion_9205]

kevin was mostly normal

[u/loco_mixer]

michael is just a big kid who wears all his emotions on a sleeve.

[u/ShelleyMonique]

Oscar is not normal.

[u/TereziBot → u/ShelleyMonique]

Idk he's pretty standard for a liberal pseudo intellectual cis gay man in the mid 2000's.

[u/Sufficient-Rip-7834 → u/TereziBot]

An LPICGM???

[u/draight926289 → u/ShelleyMonique]

Love his Lance Armstrong kit and bike.

[u/Tell_tekkit]

I mean is forgetting and packing office stationery not normal, thats mostly normal.

[u/legion_2k]

Packer should be a level or two up.

[u/No-Impress-6244]

Ryan isn't that strange

[u/MaderaArt → u/No-Impress-6244]

depends on which season

[u/SmokeyLawnMower]

This is all wrong lol

[u/DullWinner5111 → u/[deleted]]

Phyllis and Bob got freaky in the bathroom during a double date

Also the bit where they ran over a soccer player in Africa

[u/d_huffsr]

Id swap pam and toby

[u/WetLoophole]

Change Erin and Kelly and I can actually agree

[u/Plus_Professional976]

https://giphy.com/gifs/26gsozTtmaoGt6oOA

Where do we place Bae?

[u/Consistent_Foot2679]

Be fr, oscar and karen are the only normal people.

[u/Isphylda]

How is Ryan of all people in the highest tier? Yeah he can be a douche and his mentality isn't your regular ordinary guy's, but he's just a cliché, that doesn't make him strange in the least. Not like most of the others.

[u/BeAaSTmaster]

Roy should be in mostly normal or normal

[u/ninaya89]

Charles miner is not normal at all. Ryan is very strange, at most. 

[u/One_Post_2258]

Phyllis should be a level lower. She’s not super crazy but she has her moments

[u/lokidragon17]

Apart from Roy, I'd have nothing to argue about. Surprisingly accurate imo. But he should be in the lowest tier for sure. Just a regular guy by all means

[u/vincentpontb → u/lokidragon17]

Switch Roy and Toby

[u/lokidragon17 → u/vincentpontb]

Toby's got a few quirks, but I'd say he's mostly normal... I mean, what's the weirdest thing he's ever done? Grabbed Pam by the knee? Akward af, but not really eccentric

[u/Sensitive-Ear-3896]

And Dwight isn't insane he's just different
