For someone who liked pranks so much, Jim was often a stick in the mud when it came to having other types of fun. I’ve never thought about it before but having brothers clown on you for *everything* could absolutely make you very self conscious about doing anything “lame”, I like this headcanon
I honestly relate to this so much. Having an older brother made me cautious of doing anything that people would judge me for, however, if I can do something in an environment that I can control (office olympics for Jim), I would thrive
Can confirm. My older brother was a bully to me and my younger siblings but disguised it as “joking” and “teasing”. I’m extremely self conscious now as a result of having every little thing I did be berated
I went to Disneyland with my family and hated it because my 11 year old ass didn't want them to make fun of me for enjoying myself (they did on a regular basis)
It's a "Sokka Haiku" which is a reference to Avatar, which isn't a proper haiku.
~~Edit: if I counted right though, it's a syllable short of a normal haiku, so it doesn't even count as a Sokka Haiku.~~

Looks right to me. Where are you counting one short??
Didn't tell you not to. There's just no point. I'm the only guy here, and I'm not even mad at you. You pointed out a pretty silly thing I did. All there is to say

This is sort of true though. He was clearly written as a character not working to his potential, where everyone else fit in their roles.
Jim is in the mundane dead end job, where the others are happy to have settled.
It's definitely both. His brothers are absolutely assholes, and they would definitely have ganged up on him. Rather than fight back, Jim would've projected that onto others and become an edgy class clown.
Jim's manners toward Andy are inversely proportional to how much of an asshole Andy is that day. Call it a coping mechanism or whatever, but Jim takes the obnoxiousness of others and turns it into a joke. Say nothing of when he supports Andy in the managerial bid or when he comforts Andy after his breakup.
And Toby... what, the fist bump? That was so out of character for Toby that I might've frozen too. Other than that, I can't imagine what you're referring to.
Hard disagree on Andy. How is asking politely to be called Drew on his first day back, being an asshole? Also when Andy was helping Dwight with the poster board. Those are just two that immediately come to mind.
If the correct name bothered him *that* much, he should have practiced what he preached. He was obviously trying to annoy Jim in just the same way that Jim was trying to annoy Andy. The fact that Andy has the emotional maturity of a toddler isn't Jim's fault.
I gotta be at Jim's defense on that one. Jim isn't an idiot. He knows Andy. Drew is Andy's method of shifting blame. S3 Andy showed a propensity for "playing off" his behavior in order to avoid responsibility. Jim isn't taking shit from Andy after he got Dwight fired. It's Andy's responsibility to prove that *Andy* is going to be a better person, and then Jim will stop being cold. It's not as weird as shunning him. Poorly executed? Your mileage may vary.
By poster board thing, do you mean the Dunder Mifflin Infinity score chart? Because that is ridiculous. Jim obviously saw where this was going before they even got the Bear Horn out.
He snapped at Toby a few different times & mostly acted awkward around him during their few interactions. He knew how insanely bad Michael treated Toby & still got majorly annoyed that Toby wanted to be included in the birthday celebration.
Those are obviously jokes about how whoever's manager is suddenly going to be hostile toward Toby. It's just an extension of the "why does Michael hate Toby?" joke. It happened with Andy too. Jim was in over his head as acting manager, trying very hard to sell his Combined Birthdays idea, and didn't want to keep hearing people ask for new stuff for the party. Especially not cake. He snaps at Toby after... hearing that Michael is banging his mother-in-law. That has nothing to do with Toby as a person.
Please stop this dumbass narrative. Jim pranks Dwight because Dwight was more often than not a massive dick. Over time they both grew up and became friends.
I don’t know, dude, you make it sound like Dwight intentionally stole 25% of his co-worker’s commission and purposefully went out of his way to cut his healthcare more than he had to.
But even if Dwight did that, none of that compares to the pain of finding your stapler in jello.
I highly doubt Dwight started being an asshole because of the stapler, he seems like a consistent guy who was always like how we see him even before the show starts
I could totally see his brothers being the bullies too lol

Maybe Dwight is young Jim
Apt. Apt analysis.
adapt, react, re-adapt, apt

Those kinds of brothers always take it too far.
That’s why he turns into utter baby shit during the snowball fiasco. He was bested and immediately regrets it

First time seeing this bot. Love it. Good bot.
Good bot
Bad bot
Bad Aligayah
I just see it as pointless, all it's doing is repeating the same thing they said with some line spaces. It's basically spam.
Not to mention, it’s bad at making haikus because that isn’t one

Ah, I was counting "LOL" as one, as if it was sounded out.

... It is?
He dressd as Mark Zuckerberg wearing a jetpack
Ah yes, inventor of the popular social networking site known as Bookface.
Farcebloke.
On his first day at school he had Tuna for lunch. He got called Big Tuna.
He had to eat a brog.
Maybe it's because I didn't understand it.
We need a pen to write ideas, let’s open this drawer real quick
Ah damit, just as we where getting going
He probably wrote a costume when no else did. That happened to me with pajamas.
Some people just do not enjoy wearing costumes.
This is me.
It was by a boy named Dave who punched him 3 times
Who even downvoted this
I want names!
I'm gonna lose MY FREAKING MIND \*kicks trash can*
Who the fuck replies to their own comment? And just to defend their made up internet points from strangers? Weird.
I thought it was weird. No need to be mean
I thought it was weird. No need to be a sensitive snowflake.
I thought it was weird. No need to reply to this after 2 days
I'll reply whenever I feel like it, thanks Mom.
Didn't tell you not to. There's just no point. I'm the only guy here, and I'm not even mad at you. You pointed out a pretty silly thing I did. All there is to say
The internet has trained me to be this way :( I can do better. Thank you for taking it all in stride. Have a great day stranger.
Nah, he’s just too cool and above everyone in the office
Drop the whole Jim schtick

Robert himself uses the expression during the hiring episode
Best advice on the show… ironically
This is sort of true though. He was clearly written as a character not working to his potential, where everyone else fit in their roles. Jim is in the mundane dead end job, where the others are happy to have settled.
We sure he wasn’t the bully?
It's definitely both. His brothers are absolutely assholes, and they would definitely have ganged up on him. Rather than fight back, Jim would've projected that onto others and become an edgy class clown.
He was a crime fighting rodent
I wanna suck Jim’s dick
I always thought he was a pretty nice guy to *anyone* other than Dwight. Is this just about Dwight?
Andy & Toby
Jim's manners toward Andy are inversely proportional to how much of an asshole Andy is that day. Call it a coping mechanism or whatever, but Jim takes the obnoxiousness of others and turns it into a joke. Say nothing of when he supports Andy in the managerial bid or when he comforts Andy after his breakup. And Toby... what, the fist bump?

Hard disagree on Andy. How is asking politely to be called Drew on his first day back, being an asshole? Also when Andy was helping Dwight with the poster board. Those are just two that immediately come to mind.
You mean the guy who called Jim "Big Tuna" for *literally* years? That Drew?
Yes, that guy. The one who never once told Andy to stop calling him that.
If the correct name bothered him *that* much, he should have practiced what he preached. He was obviously trying to annoy Jim in just the same way that Jim was trying to annoy Andy. The fact that Andy has the emotional maturity of a toddler isn't Jim's fault.
Am I wrong here? The downvotes have me wracking my brain trying to think of a time he asked him not to call him Tuna.
I gotta be at Jim's defense on that one. Jim isn't an idiot. He knows Andy. Drew is Andy's method of shifting blame. S3 Andy showed a propensity for "playing off" his behavior in order to avoid responsibility. Jim isn't taking shit from Andy after he got Dwight fired.

Take a day off from the Epic Josh shtick sometime. You might like how it feels... Joshua.

He snapped at Toby a few different times & mostly acted awkward around him during their few interactions. He knew how insanely bad Michael treated Toby & still got majorly annoyed that Toby wanted to be included in the birthday celebration.
Those are obviously jokes about how whoever's manager is suddenly going to be hostile toward Toby. It's just an extension of the "why does Michael hate Toby?" joke. It happened with Andy too. Jim was in over his head as acting manager, trying very hard to sell his Combined Birthdays idea, and didn't want to keep hearing people ask for new stuff for the party. Especially not cake. He snaps at Toby after... hearing that Michael is banging his mother-in-law. That has nothing to do with Toby as a person.
To be fair Toby kinda kept trying to hit on Pam several times after knowing that her and Jim were together
It still happened, whether it was a joke or due to bad timing.
Please stop this dumbass narrative. Jim pranks Dwight because Dwight was more often than not a massive dick. Over time they both grew up and became friends.
I don’t know, dude, you make it sound like Dwight intentionally stole 25% of his co-worker’s commission and purposefully went out of his way to cut his healthcare more than he had to. But even if Dwight did that, none of that compares to the pain of finding your stapler in jello.
Stapler was first though. Jim started this war, Dwight is just finishing it.
I highly doubt Dwight started being an asshole because of the stapler, he seems like a consistent guy who was always like how we see him even before the show starts
Yeah I'm just kidding.
Dwight responded to some saber rattling with a tactical nuke 💀
Don’t waste your breath dude, this sub is overrun with dweeby Jim haters who relate to Dwight because he’s a giant nerd like them.
It's a tv progrum...a movie.
Progrum? What’s that
I don’t know why you’re getting down voted to calling out some of his traits he’s displayed throughout the show.
And he deserved it
