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.

Our first post!

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!

We've literally NEVER blogged before so this should be interesting, but we're excited that you're reading it. We'll keep the first post pretty short and sweet, but we want to let you know who we are so you know who you're reading about.

We're Haley, Jenna & Maria (we're the 3 on the left in the picture.. shout out to our friend Jess who made it into our first blog!). We're friends. And we like hanging out with each other. Actually we're kind of obsessed with each other (but not in a weird way... if that's possible). We all worked at the same summer camp together (Camp Cotubic, holla) and had the times of our lives. Now we want to experience life together and tell you about our excursions... Once we actually go on them. And we want to start a photography business, but we'll keep you posted on that one.

Here's a quick bio on each of us...

- Haley: Haley is a sophomore, nutrition and dietetics major at Purdue University in West Lafayette. She's the only one out of the three of us that actually owns a cool camera and she sometimes attempts to take neat pictures on it (but seriously she's actually pretty good and has taken pictures at weddings before.. cray). She has a sweet internship this summer with Snapple Group and is leaving us for Texas in May (SAD, but we couldn't be more excited for her!!!). She is obsessed with The Office and her lifelong goal is to marry John Krasinski. Hopefully it happens so Jenna and Maria can be in the wedding and meet Steve Carrell at the reception. She also always has really funny stories about her 53 siblings, so maybe you'll hear about some of them later...

- Jenna: Jenna is a junior, elementary education major at Butler University in Indianapolis. She has no photography skills, but is really good at pinteresting, thus her skills will come in handy once people trust us to take their photos. She's weird (like the rest of us) and rarely ever showers (Haley is the only person who showers less). Jenna is more than likely working at Camp Cotubic again this summer and Haley and Maria could not be more jealous. They're hoping that all of the new counselors will think Jenna is weird so she'll have to quit and come hang out with them wherever they are.. Kidding.. Kind of. 

- Maria: Maria is a senior, marketing major and also attends Butler University in Indianapolis (Haley is transferring soon so we'll all be together... maybe...). She took pictures at a wedding once and didn't ruin it so that was good. Hopefully her business degree will come in handy since the photo skills are lacking. She is currently on the hunt for jobs for after graduation (seriously she's so old) and hopefully won't find one so she can work at camp again with Jenna (sorry Haley). As of recently, she's freakishly obsessed with One Direction, especially since the Jonas Brothers broke up a few months ago, and it's getting a little bit scary. 

So there we are. Thanks for reading our first post! We can't wait to share our adventures and shenanigans with you. We promise that we will be entertaining. We tend to think we're pretty funny so hopefully we'll make you laugh once or twice.
