When I watched this scene I thought I was insane to be so frustrated by a scene from a tv show that isn't real, looking at the comments I'm glad I wasn't the only one. What the office writers did to Andy's character has to be up there as one of the worst destructions in tv history.

Why didn't Andy just call corporate security or something?

I love how Creed and Jim were the only loyal ones xD

I cannot put into words how much I hated and despised this scene and the whole plot of nelly becoming Manager and screwing Andy over

Considering how Robert generally is manipulative and overbearing, for him to shrivel up when talking to Nellie is so out of character. The random loyal obedience Angela shows is also weird. Is it just out of spite towards her ex that she cheated on? As much as I hated how Andy got screwed over and how he could have stayed in the office since Angela's words meant nothing and how unrealistically it happened, I think Nelly's takeover was an interesting turn of events.

If I were Andy, I wld throw Nelie and all her stuff out of the office. There is definitely written document evidencing that I hold the managerial position. If the corporate and Robert California states otherwise, will sue them for constructive dismissal.

Angela is such a traitor, she should have been fired immidietly after Andy got back to being manager

If you did that in real life you would be arrested

I always found this bizarre that people went along with it and that Robert California seemed to just allow it. I felt so bad for Andy when he was humiliated and then fired after this

This scene is effectively anger-inducing. 😂

If it was that easy, Dwight would have gotten the job first

The show totally lost its way without Michael. Andy's last two seasons were tough to watch

I was frustrated when no one (except Jim) stood up against Nelly and just accepted her. I know Andy wasn't a great manager but he was trying to improve himself, so I was a bit pissed when they all just put themselves in a complete stranger's hands. I know none of this is real, but it was hard to watch.

You know you're doing wrong in a sitcom when the person who is most hated gets to win all the time

I really hated Nellie and Robert in this episode. I mean Robert is the boss, what the hell, im glad Andy broke her stupid picture.

Ok, so she just sit in andy's office and say, im the new manager.... Talking about bad writing

This is how brits occupied colonies

Tod packer is a bully but he was always fun to watch and was punished for his behaviour when Robert fired him, but nelly was the worst character on the show and the most hated how she disrespected andy and screwed him over

Honestly, this episode is the first time I ever actively hated any piece of fiction.

"and we are grateful" LMAO

I really disliked this episode. I can't shut down my brain this much it was so outside of reality that you can't even imagine it happening. Call a police

Post Michael Scott they tried Will Ferrell and allthough I like him, I hated DeAngelo. And then they failed as hell with Nellie. Michael Scott was also annoying at times, but I still love him. He had a lot of charm and character. Nellie is just rubbish. Robert California on the other hand...fun character and great casting.

This is the single worst character in the entire show. She makes Todd Packer seem as likable as Jim.

I consider myself calm and collective, but this is the only scene in the history of television that has made me want to punch my screen.

4:32 Kevin.. Priceless..

It pissed me off when she screwed over Andy. Imagine if it was Michael instead of Andy.

who the fuck would write this and expect the audience to like this as much as the earlier seasons

Kevins face when Nellie says:”who believes in tinker-bell” 💀

What made the office funny was how its context was real and normal although a lot of the characters were weirdos and unusual. It’s that juxtaposition of normal and abnormal that made things funny. The character of nellie made the context abnormal, and nonsensical. The juxtaposition disappeared, and everything became stupid instead of funny

Randomly got this recommended after watching a lot of The Office clips. I have never watched the full show. So from an outsiders perspective: I have never felt this much anger and malice towards a fictional character than I have felt watching this.

Even ultron is confused.... I bet nellie’s the sole reason ultron become mental

Only Catherine Tate could just walk in and declare herself manager

What a truly dreadful writing decision this was. First time office watcher here. This was unacceptably bad, that they would plummet Andy and the entire show like this and not understand how much they were tanking their beloved IP.

jim thats why youre a good person

She should have said, “Am I bovvered”

She just walks in, sees that the manager’s office is empty, assumes the position, and starts giving raises. What a fucking liberty.

I need to watch the office again.... for the 12th time...

Today was a really bad day for me, especially with work stuff and relations with people where I work, so after watching this clip right now I just wanted to break my ipad.

I don’t know why she gets so much hate, I find this all ridiculously hilarious.

In Doctor Who her character Donna Noble was the no1 office temp in Chiswick. Fans and producers understand the reference.

Come on, Jim. You're killing her! Hahahahahhahahah!!

Nellie was a MISTAKE.

Robert California is by far the worst CEO I've ever seen

I'm gonna try to tinkerbell my way up at work.

Hahaha Classic Creed!

Good old Jim and creed

I just saw this and man Andy's plot was really going on a good direction and then she comes up? Of course I shouldn't take the show seriously but she is not even close as fun as Andy was.

Tinkerbell jajajajajaja I love nellie

I mean you can argue about whether or not Nellie was funny, or enjoyable to watch or whatever - She wasn't. But it's not really about the character itself as much as its about the way the character was introduced. This was just a case of lazy writing. They made everyone act out of character, dumb, and not loyal just so they could make it work. Hell, they even made Robert spineless. I mean c'mon now, do you really think Dwight would embrace Nellie (or anyone) for manager - Especially in this way? Or what about Angela and everyone else that hated her? First they hate her guts, and they're throwing her a bad party, hoping and praying that Andy comes back. Then, next episode, they're listening to her every command! Not only that but the sheer ridiculousness of it is unreal. I can suspend my disbelief about Jim pulling constant pranks on Dwight without any repercussions because it's funny! It's like when Kenny dies in South Park, and then he's back in the next episode. It's a sitcom, and it was just done as a gag. But this? I'm suspending my disbelief for something which purpose isn't to make me laugh, and moreover is being forced upon me with a character that I despise... At least Michael's arch with his paper company was well done. It made some sense, and you did actually want him to succeed. But this..? This is just plain bad...

Scenes like this is one of the reasons the last season of the Office seemed so fake to me, they took a 180 turn and tried to sell the idea that the people in the Office were a loving Family whereas they betrayed each other without remorse several times, Andy consistently suffering the worst of it. Michael, Jim and Pam were the only ones who consistently showed a bit of care to other people in the office, the rest of them were enormous a holes.

2:08 Her face and that lil sound got me 😂

Im not gonna lie, i didnt finish this episode and skipped aaaaaall episodes until the episode where the documentary aired and the finale

I am glad I wasnt the only one who had felt white rage at the whole Nellie taking over the Office plot! I didnt want to believe that the show started to digress after Michael's departure, but this hits the nail in the coffin. Still going to watch the show because I love the characters!

Weak character. Good thing they wrote her out.

Despite of nelly behavior i really like when she gives a raise to everyone and a nap for Pam 😁

What episode and season is this

What episode and season?

Andy needs to be the boss

I feel the actress who plays Nelly got her role exactly like her character did in the series.

loved that tinkerbell bit

I just come here to say it was so painful to watch. I just read the spoilers and watched the last episode of the season to see Andy's come back.

4:32 OMG. My man Kevin about to cry. He's genuinely such a baby. I love him.

Robert California and Nellie made The Office season 8 looked like a parody. Jo Benett and David Wallace showed what bosses should be.

“What is she doing here?” My thoughts exactly.

Jesus I hate how the writers screwed Andy over in the last 2 seasons. They broke his relationship with Erin, they made the others in the office not liking him for a weird reason and then humiliated him in the last episodes of the show. He's easiliy my favorite character especially in seasons 5,6 and 7

I used to hate her as Nellie but knowing her as Donna Noble now I can’t but love her so much

I love R California and I don't really despise everything that happened post Michael. But THIS is just not canon, I haven't seen it and you didn't either

who is this woman

The look at the camera at 2:27 😆😆😆

wasnt she supoused to be hated? why is people so mad

Got to this episode while rebinging The Office, and out of anger I just switched the tab to this, to reassure my frustrations with the writers to this day, that they put Nellie incharge and "killed" Andy just like that for idk wtf reason.

Actually a great lesson on social constructionism regarding social hierarchy...

why do i love her voice so much

This bit vexed me so much

Ah I would be violent if I were there :)

She left Robert California speechless. One of very few to have ever done so, quite the achievement

Since she just walked in, presented no legal documentation often needed to work, was not set up by HR as a legal employee nor put on the payroll I guess she could technically work there but the company has no legal reason to need to pay her. The company could even get in legal trouble since she very well could be an illegal immigrant with no right to work in the US.

I was so mad watching this I would’ve just called security

This arc is basically repeating the Charles Minor arc all over again

Catherine was in good shape here.

why didn't he call the security?

Everyone betrayed Andy (except Jim), proving once again that they are a bunch of jerks and Jim is the only worthy man in the office

I'm glad Andy won at the season finale. Justice

Dark times of The Office

Are we sure it’s not Donna Noble in disguise.

Who is this woman?-Robert California

Hahaha I think she's fuckin hilarious lel 🤣🤣🤣

She is just a character. Its always great mix some other characters in The office series to just add more color to the rainbow

just finished watching this episode im so fucking mad about this

3:16 Loved his English accent just for like a second just then (I think Catharine Tate was trying not to laugh)

Bro if u watch 4:41 with your eyes closed its a bit of a madness

Dump this show to the disposal cabinet Michael mentioned in S1P1

I loved that character. Robert was bored in his life and it entertained him. Andy abandoned his post, in my country it's legally a good reason to get fired so in the USA that must be even truer. She gave raises to everyone, gave Pam a nap, just wants the manager chair. I did not Like her in the Sabre conference but she was perfect in this

This should have been a deleted scene

fun fact: The game of thrones season 8 writers wrote this part.

4:52 Pam is about to clap 😑

She basically bribed them

i dont know why everyone hates her so much, i think she’s fucking funny

I miss Michael 😢

i hated her so much even though the writers tried to redeem her after some episodes but this makes me physically angry i don't care if you like andy or not but imagine if Micheal went and she just came in and took his job I don't know what I would do
