It’s pretty common to analyze why TV shows are watched. All over the Odyssey, you can find articles about what certain TV shows have taught them. One thing is the same with every one of these shows, secondary characters don’t get enough respect. So, for the little guys of TV, I present the five life lessons learned from the office’s secondary characters.

1.)Ryan- intelligence without ethics is useless.

Ryan is the hot shot business school employee who takes over as VP of Dunder Mifflin. He eventually crashes due to lack of work ethic and morals in general. Take it from Ryan, intelligence doesn’t always equal excellence.

2.) Stanley- How to truly love something.

Not what you expected? I dare you to think of one thing that someone loves more than Stanley loves pretzel day or cake or pie. Nice try but you can’t. If you need to learn how to love, Stanley is your guy.

3.) Creed- Ignorance is bliss.

Creed is my personal favorite of the office’s secondary characters. He is famous for his one liners that come out of nowhere and make everyone laugh. One running joke in the show is that no one knows what Creed’s job is. He can’t even pronounce it himself. Ignorance is bliss and creed is not short of either.

4.) Kevin- It’s important to have goals.

Kevin is seen as a dumb character on the office, however, I disagree. Kevin is a goal driven man. He knows his talents and priorities. You should be more like Kevin in the image below.

5.) Toby- absolutely nothing.

Toby is the worst. Toby teaches us nothing. Just ask Michael.
