    Fuck Elon Musk, but this is one of Jim’s worst moments in that show. If someone comes back from an extended therapy program with a set of tools and techniques they are using to solidify and remind themselves of the changes they have made to themselves and their lives, and one of them is as simple as asking you to use the other half of their legal name as their short form moniker, you have to be a an asshole not to do so. So yeah, call Musky’s new sinking ship whatever you want, but don’t be Jim Halpert about it, because Drew never crossed the line in anger again. /rantover

      I maintain that everyone on The Office except Dwight was basically an absolute pile of shit.

      You’re dunking on a fictional character over a one-liner joke. Jesus, people work themselves into a lather.

        The way I see it, office fans genuinely like talking shit about Andy and don’t think people like him deserve respect. And they liked Jim’s rejection in this scene, because they agree with it.

        This isn’t about dunking on a fictional character, it’s about addressing the audience.
