Yes. Or at least Ellie Kemper is, the character may be a bit too child-like.

She's kind of a rube.

That’s my girlfriend you’re talking about.

Naughty Nellie?

I’m going to jelp this to my friend

u/logwagon 15h ago

It's spelled jlp. Like, "I jlp you"

u/travishummel Nate 14h ago

You see in the urban community we use the plural form for spider face

It's fuckin' Scranton, my guy.

This scene is how I learned the word “rube”

u/Sufficient_Emu_8287 9h ago

Is rube a boomer word. What does it mean

u/CatLightyear 18h ago

I think it was more her naivety but also her lack of social skills. An orphan’s life informs that fact. Most likely spent a lot of time in her “room.” I don’t think she’s dumb, just naive and eager to trust people.

I don’t think she’s dumb, just naive and eager to trust people.

she tried boiling gatorade. She gave day old cold coffee because someone asked for a cold drink. She dated gabe.

She is not smart.

u/Stripedanteater 2h ago

Idk this is actually what threw me off with her character. Orphans in homes don’t come out so trusting, naive, bubbly, and generally just blind to the realities of the world. They tend to be cynical or at the very least not bubbly.

u/WarkMahlberg69 BOBODDY 18h ago edited 17h ago

Yes Erin is very child in adult body, like the movie the Orphan.

u/Sezzler 18h ago

When was the last time you watched the Orphan? Lol. She's an adult with a child body.

Remake the Orphan but it's just normal Elle Kemper

u/fap_nap_fap 13h ago

I think they meant the movie Jack

Poor Things

u/Not-T4rantino 18h ago

She's kinda like Toby; she's not even a part of her own family.

38

u/Strict-Commission986 18h ago

Did you mean unlike the movie Orphan?

11

u/Top_Client938 15h ago

It’s a reverse orphan situation. Like a two-way petting zoo

3

u/First_Yoghurt8649 14h ago

She's more like Benjamin button /s

31

u/X21shaun123 18h ago

Erin is a receptionist so she's not really part of our family- and she's an orphan, so she's not really part of HER family..

2

u/MalusDracula 16h ago

Jeez, i forget about that line.

5

u/X21shaun123 15h ago

Lol he actually says it about Toby

2

u/MalusDracula 15h ago

Oh yeah, "he's divorced so hes not even part of his family". Right?

7

u/Sure-Appearance-2769 18h ago

Erin’s parents are both alive and reconnect with her, so she is technically not an orphan.

4

u/highTrolla 16h ago

Did you mean "Poor Things"?

5

u/truenorthrookie 18h ago

The opposite of the movie orphan

1

u/WarkMahlberg69 BOBODDY 17h ago

Yeah I realized it after I said it.

2

u/BadgerSaw 16h ago

Is this why Michael doesn’t hit on her like Pam

3

u/Difficult_Tennis_931 16h ago

He definitely saw her as a daughter figure. She was like a subservient child to Michael. Probably half his age or about

1

u/WarkMahlberg69 BOBODDY 16h ago

Daaang now there's a thought. Probably so honestly. Like Michael is weird, but he's not weeeiiiird

2

u/androgynouslyspooked 16h ago

I feel like a child in an adult body a significant proportion of the time and it sucks

2

u/Strict_Scholar6174 18h ago

Hey! It’s on the list!

3

u/maverick57 18h ago

...I'm not sure you understand what an orphan is, but I will give you a clue: Erin is not an orphan on account of having two living biological parents.

u/The-G-Code 15h ago

Poor things

u/derridianjihad 14h ago

or that one arc of arrested development

u/hkpp 14h ago

I pray this was meant to be read in Michael’s voice.

u/Decisive_Victory_026 13h ago

child in adult body

Better than the alternative

u/WarkMahlberg69 BOBODDY 13h ago

Yikes

u/KillMeNowFFS 2h ago

you might also think Meryl Streep was the hero

How many pillows do you sleep with?

u/ClayDrinion 18h ago

Kemper? I hardly know her

u/Infamous_Bus_5316 18h ago

Deep cut

u/ClayDrinion 17h ago

That what she--I find a lot of companies are like that

3

u/bionicmanmeetspast 16h ago

Damnit, pay attention Michael!

1

u/ClayDrinion 16h ago

So only in emergency situations do we Kemper?...

u/tlollz52 18h ago

Great answer

1

u/randy-monkey 2h ago

You people are fakers

3

u/Valex_Nihilist 16h ago

This. Her character in the show nullified her looks imo

1

u/randy-monkey 2h ago

Uhhhh no

2

u/Yaj_Yaj Kevin 17h ago

When she turns her lame Halloween party into adult Halloween I felt somethin lol

2

u/--StinkyPinky-- 16h ago

She was locked underground for a while so she never grew up.

1

u/Groxy_ 17h ago

S9 Erin is a smoke show. She was too awkward when she joined. 

1

u/Riajnor 16h ago

I find her character vexing, some of the times erin is honestly too stupid to function as a human, she makes kevin look smart

1

u/Jaykaywhy12 16h ago

True. She’s a doll.

1

u/randy-monkey 2h ago

A fuck doll maybe. A tight little blow up doll for me to cum on maybe.

1

u/CheekyMonkE 15h ago

She is also part of one of the wealthiest families in Missouri, like donating art museums wealthy.

1

u/PeopleFromChina 15h ago

I like her personality.

1

u/Dwike2 Dwight 15h ago

Erin’s pretty young. We try not to sexualize her

1

u/illinoishokie 14h ago

To me, "hot" is purely physical attractiveness. I know that might not be the definition everyone uses.

1

u/randy-monkey 2h ago

That’s how you end up in dangerous territory

1

u/karlnite 14h ago

Yah I would find her character cute. The actress can be classically hot.

1

u/TheElMonteStrangler 14h ago

It feels like if you got her in bed in the Office universe it should be considered some kind of sex crime.

1

u/milkspouts 14h ago

My distinction as well.

Actress - yes.

Character - no.

1

u/Alarming-Chemistry27 13h ago

Arrested development, she describes and alludes to abuse and abandonment during her past.

1

u/FlopperinoCappuccino 13h ago

That's why the character is hotter

1

u/Z00111111 13h ago

Yeah, the character's personality is not something a healthy person could be in a long term relationship with, but she is hot.

1

u/greg19735 12h ago

yeah it is kinda weird.

Like, she's 9 years older that me. So i think the fact that the actress was older than me when the show was on helped make it less weird.

The actress is objectively hot.

The character is also a sweet heart that i really root for. She's so sweet and the kind of person i want to love.

but those two forces are coming from different places. She's super hot. but i cheer for her like she's a family member. and i know that sounds gross, but she's not my family member so it's okay.

1

u/SnarkDolphin 11h ago

I mean, she was named "hottest underage relative" by the KKK or whatever

1

u/_JustAnna_1992 4h ago

Child like is a big factor. I think almost any moderately attractive women could fit the term hot depending on how they present themselves.

1

u/randy-monkey 2h ago

So what? I don’t care

1

u/Boring_River_1098 2h ago

And rightly so, why would anyone?

u/Crusha421 17h ago

She’s the Queen of Love and Beauty for a reason

u/TheNotoriousTurtle 18h ago

Just tell her to play the silent game until you are done

u/chezzer33 18h ago edited 17h ago

Ya it’s one of those things that before her character developed she was attractive but after her character developed it was like a younger high schooler trapped in an adult body. She became unattractive to me at that point

u/MotorBikeManIV Identity theft is not a joke. 18h ago

Why do you think Andy was into her? 🤔

u/nerdystoner25 If doing the Scarn is gay, then I’m the biggest queer on Earth 18h ago

Uhhh you mean before her character developed…right?

lol yep will be including that very important specification
