7 Reasons Stanley Hudson From 'The Office' Is All Of Us, On A Deeper Level
NBC Universal

Jim Halpert, Dwight Schrute, Pam Beesly and Michael Scott.

To be on the internet and to not have heard these names or seen their images would be almost impossible. These characters from “The Office” have solidified their place in the popular culture lexicon since the show rose to popularity in 2007. “The Office”’s take on the minutia of middle management and office life is relatable to a tee. Jim and Dwight are relatable, sure, but no one encompasses the seemingly infinite monotony of a dead end job like Stanley Hudson.

Stanley Hudson is technically a minor character in the show but after binge-watching the series (again) is one of the most relatable and overlooked. Stanley represents a reality that many black people face in the corporate sphere.

Stanley is the only black person in his office.

To have to face Michael Scott’s microaggressions alone? I don’t know if I could do it. The racial insensitivity that Stanley faces are a part of his daily life and are one of the reasons why his character resonates with audiences.

Here are seven times that Stanley is all of us:

1. When he didn't want to do something and he meant it


2. When he was asked to do something ON HIS BREAK


3. His attitude at 5:01 PM

4. His only inspiration to go to work

5. That time someone thought they could try him


On Pretzel Day?!!

6. When he has to deal with Michael's white nonsense

7. When it doesn't stop

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
