One of Greg Daniels’ writing rules was ‘relatability through specificity’. It seems intuitive that _broad strokes_ characters would be more accessible to more people, but it’s the total opposite. They don’t have enough detail to seem believable. The depth and detail with which the characters are on this show and The Office make them extremely relatable and make it deep out satisfying when characters that seem very different actually strike up great relationships.

I love how Ben KNOWS April is more than capable of doing the job and doesn’t even need or want her to even give 50% effort the same 15% is enough.

I think April likes Ben so much because he’s so unabashedly boring and lame that he actually circles back around to being interesting. And he’s not fake. He doesn’t care that people think he’s boring. Most boring people try to fake being interesting, but Ben likes being boring. Although Ben doesn’t think he’s a boring person, he thinks he’s interesting, which just makes him even more genuine which makes April like him more.

@shawntco

Жыл бұрын

I read a comment on another video that April fell for Andy because he doesn't pretend to be something he's not. He's unabashedly himself and just genuinely kind. And April dislikes people who pretend to be something they're not, and she especially hates fake happiness/positivity. Similarly, Ben is just his weird self, not pretending to be otherwise. It's that sincerity that makes her respect him. Interestingly, at 2:50 we see sincere *frustration* from Ben towards April, something people are not inclined to ever show. She appreciates that level of sincerity, and so it's no wonder she straightens herself out, and also Ellis.

Ben trying to pull a prank makes me literally laugh out loud every single time😭🤣

April is best described by Donna during their "Spirit Dogs" episode: "You are beautiful yet cold and aloof. You pride yourself on being a loner. You do not obey, you choose to cooperate. And when you stop baring your fangs to choose a mate, it's for Life; and you are Fiercely loyal to your pack which makes you a rare black Siberian Husky." Craig: "That was so spot on it was scary..."
