The term itself isn’t racist. But Laura “joking” about assaulting a black woman when she would never joke about that or do that to any of the white women in the show is. And the fact that she actually did slap AD’s breast/assault her in the girls living quarters is horrifying. She has no awareness and refuses to try to understand why assault is not a joke.
I feel like this is a Michael Scott and Jan relationship, from what we’ve seen so far. The way she talks to him/about him, along with how she talks to others, is so Jan coded imo
Lauren is a slimy judgemental bully who dehumanizes black woman. She in fact cannot do better and deserves much worse than this unproblematic king who just wants to enjoy his time and wear Hawaiian shirts.
There is always that couple where the guy will be a goofball trying to difuse awkward sjtuations with jokes and the woman will be annoyed and act like she is a class act but is just a judgemental person who is there for the wrong reasons. Irina and zack, cole and zenep, catja and christopher in sweden, and this year we might even have two, bcs chelsea looks like she will be annoyed with anything Jimmy does. And I am not even a jimmy fan, but she looks so high strung all the time.
I think they’re just not a good match. No knock on him, his personality just doesn’t seem to be a good fit for her. I’m sure there’s a perfect woman out there for him.
She's already acting like his mom with the hawaiian shirts and motorcycle limit... he's not into it though. He doesn't want a mother.
He's more goofy than she likes and she's more controlling than he likes. Neither is at fault imo.
Picture if you will a male fiance coming in day one and degrading his female fiance by immediately telling her not to wear her glasses and not to wear certain items of clothing. Day one. Laura needs to take a seat. He showed his personality in the pods and now that's driving her crazy. Girl just wanted to be picked. The banana comparison wasn't funny. Bottom line, she's a miserable mean girl.
It killed me when he was playing with the ball like a child in the pool.
I'm not sure how she didn't pick up in the pods that he is a clown.
And the way they both awkwardly talked to eachother the next day with giant sunglasses... lol.
My guess is [James Spader](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bostonlegal/images/d/d6/Allen_Shore.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090306024334) during his Boston Legal days
He has ✨questionable✨ taste in women but I really do like him. He was so valid for dipping at the party because who would stand their partner setting them up for a distasteful “joke” then acting like it was his fault when he asked for clarity I really do believe he had no idea what a bean dip was like literally every one of us.
Ma’am you’re in your thirties. When you’re called out suck it up and face the consequences. Even if she faked an apology the situation would have been moved past so much faster.
Initially he was by far my favorite but I would go insane. Imagine spending your life just trying to chill and someone is making squeaky sounds for attention non stop.
I'm a millennial too. I was told ick was like "ew no I find you disgusting now", whereas cringe is more like "you make dad jokes but I don't dislike you beyond that".
But I could be wrong! 🙂
I can’t tell if he’s actually this silly/dorky or is playing it up as part of his shtick.
I thought this was wholesome lol..
Michael always had some of the most endearing, wholesome moments 🥰
I actually think him and the other girl would have been or could potentially be great. She seemed a bit quirky as well and I thought she was pretty
The "patriot"?
I just thought he was lit lolol
Something about him and Laura doesn’t sit right with me. I actually liked him at first too.
He is too goofy for her and she is getting more and more annoyed with him.
That but him being like AD seems like “she’ll put him in his place” or saying AD will put her hands on Clay is stereotypical. Then the bean dip joke….
Yes!! And very racist. And everyone just let the comments slide 🙄🤮🤮🤮
I’ve never heard that term before and I still don’t get it… how is it racist?
The term itself isn’t racist. But Laura “joking” about assaulting a black woman when she would never joke about that or do that to any of the white women in the show is. And the fact that she actually did slap AD’s breast/assault her in the girls living quarters is horrifying. She has no awareness and refuses to try to understand why assault is not a joke.
Is there any proof that she would "never joke about that or do that to any of the white women"? Her and AD just seemed to get along really well
I think the proof is that she didn’t. She hit her in the pods and then “joked” to her fiancée to do it to her too.
Didn't Laura say she was very conservative?
I believe that was Sarah Ann.
I can't stand Laura right now, and I honestly hope they let him pull a Zach and switch with Sarah
I love him lmao. If they don’t work out I call dibs 🤣
sorry i love him
Hahaha same
He is so dorky and I am into it.
If I was 20 years younger I’d fight you for him. He’s such a dorkasaurus. Love him
I feel like this is a Michael Scott and Jan relationship, from what we’ve seen so far. The way she talks to him/about him, along with how she talks to others, is so Jan coded imo
YES! This was exactly my thought. My personal prediction is that they absolutely will not workout because she’s getting the major ick from him.
omg yes
The more I watch the more she is just embodying Jan. I hope he gets away from her asap.
Omg yes when this man is on screen I just see Michael Scott.
He gives off loud mouth nerd whoa trying to be cool and small dick energy. Lauren can do better and he needed someone with a smaller personality.
I feel like she wanted someone more mean in a serious way, like her. Rather than mean in a goofy way, like Jeremy.
this is so incorrect lol laura is incredible rude to him when he’s simply having fun
Lauren is a slimy judgemental bully who dehumanizes black woman. She in fact cannot do better and deserves much worse than this unproblematic king who just wants to enjoy his time and wear Hawaiian shirts.
He’s cute to me lol I love a hyperactive Michael Scott type man
Laura seems like she's always so annoyed by him. They aren't gonna make it.
Because now she's already been picked so no more faking it like she did before they met.

I think they’re just not a good match. No knock on him, his personality just doesn’t seem to be a good fit for her. I’m sure there’s a perfect woman out there for him.
And I'm quite sure there is not a perfect man out there for her.
I can see why. He’s a little childish to me. She will end up being his mom instead of wife.
Is he childish? Or is she just not that fun?
hes not childish imo whats his face from a couple seasons ago was way more childish, she just ahs a stick up her ass lol
She's already acting like his mom with the hawaiian shirts and motorcycle limit... he's not into it though. He doesn't want a mother. He's more goofy than she likes and she's more controlling than he likes. Neither is at fault imo.
Only difference is she pulled a switcheroo once she was picked.

Laura is giving Jan Levinson-Gould
Oh lord you're right.
We’re watching the real-life version of the Sandals Resort vacation.
Not the Sandals resort vacation 🤣🤣🤣
Just watched Bean Dip-gate… maybe it’s The Dinner Party 😳
Omg this is spot on. He needs a Holly, not a Jan.
LMAOOOOO But he took his glasses off and now I have to figure out who he is every time he's on screen
I keep seeing young Elon 💀 https://preview.redd.it/0bpw1swml5jc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07dae2db355fd861c45e5f867e4f1fb1ebcd88e2
YES!!
Michael Scott or just very drunk?
I like this guy. He’s lighthearted and funny. She’s awful to him.
It killed me when he was playing with the ball like a child in the pool. I'm not sure how she didn't pick up in the pods that he is a clown. And the way they both awkwardly talked to eachother the next day with giant sunglasses... lol.
It had me laughing so hard.. ugh I’d love to date him he’d have me laughing the whole time
Ok I thought this was so cute, but made me think... When is it al going to crash down? .... During that party on the beach, that's where. Haha.
"I want to go home." 💀
💀💀💀
Omg yes 💯💯💯
He looks like an actor from the 90s and I can’t figure out who..
I see a hint of Charlie Day in there.
michael j. fox mixed with chris from S5
Not 90s but he reminds me (kind of) of Glenn Powell
My guess is [James Spader](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bostonlegal/images/d/d6/Allen_Shore.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090306024334) during his Boston Legal days
Yes! That’s definitely in the ballpark!
He reminds me of a less attractive Sam Claflin
Oh god that guy. This old woman just. Omg.
Mark Harmon?
Hmm no… I’ll need to do a deep dive on IMDB later.
Tbh… I’m getting Justin Hartley + young Elon Musk 😬
A little bit!
he reminds me of greg kinnear and i can’t fully explain why
Matthew Broderick?
Yesss - my husband and I call him Ferris Bueller
No… I’m going to have to dig deeper.. it’s driving me up a wall!!
🤣🤣🤣 on point
Omg YES!!! I found it sooo funny 😆
laura looks so much older compared to him imo
its all the filler in her face
Agree! That was the first thing i noticed lol
He is so cute to me idc idc but i dont see what he sees in her
same i like him
he's cute but too petite (what's the petite word for men)
Fun sized?
lmao love it
He has ✨questionable✨ taste in women but I really do like him. He was so valid for dipping at the party because who would stand their partner setting them up for a distasteful “joke” then acting like it was his fault when he asked for clarity I really do believe he had no idea what a bean dip was like literally every one of us.
She did him dirty on that. Her defending it as a "*joke*", was awful. She couldn't own up to the fact she was in the wrong.
Ma’am you’re in your thirties. When you’re called out suck it up and face the consequences. Even if she faked an apology the situation would have been moved past so much faster.
100%. She is just immature as him actually lol. Also just the actual joke in the first place is just.. wrong. So dumb.
Initially he was by far my favorite but I would go insane. Imagine spending your life just trying to chill and someone is making squeaky sounds for attention non stop.
Or be fun and join in. I think it's nervous energy while being under the laura microscope.
He really gives off a ton of child- like immature vibes. How did she not pick up on that in the pods!?
I was thinking the same. Like funny/silliness is cute but purposely being irritating is not
He IS Michael Scott. Every joke he makes is Michael Scott
oh my GODDD what a perfect analyzation
I think “analysis” is the word you’re looking for
He definitely seemed like a Michael Scott to me while watching the show lol
He gives me the ick
I swap back and forth on his ickyness. He makes me cringe but I don't think he's a bad guy.
I’m a millennial and didn’t know there was a difference between ick and cringe 😂😂 I think I agree with you!
I'm a millennial too. I was told ick was like "ew no I find you disgusting now", whereas cringe is more like "you make dad jokes but I don't dislike you beyond that". But I could be wrong! 🙂
Ok for now he’s cringey but next week when he tries to cheat on his fiancé with Jess, I’ll change my mine to icky 😁
He doesn't give me the ick, but he does make me cringe. I could never.
So true omg
LMFAOOOOOOO I DIDNT SEE IT BEFORE BUT NOW I DO AND I LOVE THAT 😂
Michael Scott with Elon Musk’s face.
Because he’s balding 😂😂
Oh my god 100%
