10 Reasons Why Kevin Malone is the Most Underrated Character on The Office

It's obvious all three of us have quite the obsession with the Office. It's seriously the most hilariously weird show and if you haven't started watching it, you need to. Really though, you NEED to.

There are characters on the show that everyone loves: Jim because he's unbelievably good looking and his witty sarcasm, often displayed through impromptu glances at the camera, is the best, Pam because she is married to Jim (enough said), Dwight because he's so serious about everything and repeatedly gets picked on by Jim, and, of course, Michael Scott because he is the "world's greatest boss" (and he even has the coffee mug to prove it). 

But what about Kevin Malone? Kevin doesn't typically play a huge role in any given episode, but his few minutes of stardom in the episodes are beyond comical and ridiculous. Let's just say that he's often overlooked. Here's a look at why he is underrated and a few snapshots of his most hilarious moments. 

1. He plays the drums in a band called Scrantonicity. I mean seriously. The band is called Scrantonicity. And sometimes he sings. Also, he wear's a fedora. You go, Kev. 

 

2. Kevin wins the "Dundie Award" for "Don't Go In There After Me" which references him smelling up the bathroom every time he goes in. Just imagine him making this face every time he walks out of the bathroom...

3. He is extremely protective of food, which obviously makes him one of our best friends. Not to mention, in one episode he tried to see how many m&ms he could fit in his mouth. We encourage everyone to challenge themselves in this exact same way.

4. Kevin is one of the highlights of Jim and Pam's wedding (which is one of the most epic things to happen ever during The Office, or our lives for that matter), mainly because he wears a horrifying toupee. 

5. He attempts to make life easier by speaking with fewer words. Clearly the best idea he's ever had.

6. Again, he understands the importance of food and the need to eat it, no matter the time, place, or situation. 

7. Michael once spread a rumor that Kevin had someone inside of him working him with controls. Kevin was distraught, but let's be honest, we all wished that it was true. 

8. Kevin understands that working out is the worst, especially when his parking spot is taken and has to walk a few blocks. He summed up his feelings by saying  "some people have to park really far away and walk all the way to the office, and some people sweat too much for comfort." We feel ya, Kev.

9. He understands that sometimes, you just can't deal with stupid people. 

10. And finally, the most epic Kevin scene of all time, displaying, once again, how important food is, especially homemade chili. And that spilling food is the worst thing that could ever happen to someone.

And here's one more hilarious moment, in case you didn't get enough. 

What's the moral of this blog post?  It's pretty self explanatory.  Take time out of your day to sit and watch an episode of The Office.  I know we all have a million and one things to do this weekend, but trust us, there is no better way to procrastinate.
