The Office has a lot of devoted fans, and many (if not all) of those fans have a favorite character or two. One of the most popular characters from the show is Dwight Schrute. Dwight is arguably one of the most interesting TV characters ever written, and has made fans of the show laugh time after time with all of his unbelievable antics.
This character, whether he was being tormented by Jim Halpert, or sneaking around with his office-love, Angela, made fans love him more and more with each episode. Keep reading to see 10 memes that describe this hilarious character perfectly.
He Was Full Of Surprises
Although Dwight had some character traits that were completely expected, he would also do some things that fans would never anticipate. Dwight was full of surprises, whether it was his ability to win over Pam's maid of honor at her wedding, or develop a relationship with Andy Bernard, Dwight was always surprising fans with his actions. This meme, a funny twist on a scene with Andy and Dwight playing music in the office, is proof that Dwight was often unpredictable!
His Concussion
One of Dwight's funniest moments was when he got a concussion and ended up acting incredibly funny as a result. The concussion clearly messed with him pretty badly and caused him to act a bit differently than he normally would, including forming an unlikely friendship with Pam. This meme is from the scene where he is taken to the hospital and starts drinking alcohol from Meredith's van in the backseat. His comments to Michael Scott in this scene were so funny, and this meme definitely describes how tough Dwight could be at times.
His Hilarious Business Endeavors
Dwight was known for a lot of his interesting hobbies, and one of the most interesting was his habit of buying out extremely coveted things. For example, he would often buy a large amount of sought after dolls during the holiday season and would resell them to desperate parents at a much higher price than he bought them. He pulled all types of these shady gigs, including this Valentine's Day scheme. Dwight was always thinking outside the box, and while it's a bit heartless, we've got to admit that this was one of his more clever borderline-scams.
Dwight's Farm
Schrute Farm, Dwight's beet farm, was probably one of the most unexpected additions to The Office -- but it made for quality entertainment that was hilarious comedic fodder for many episodes. Dwight's beet farm was incredibly odd, not to mention his cousin Mose. Many things happened during the series on the beet farm, including Jim and Pam's stay on the farm, his trick to marry Angela, and the time he left Ryan stranded and tasked with shoveling cow manure. This farm and Dwight's family were hilarious to fans and, made up an intrinsic part of Dwight's offbeat personality.
His Love For Angela
Dwight, although he had many issues, was definitely loyal and dedicated to those who he cared about, which is not easy to say for everyone. Dwight's absolute dedication to Angela, though odd at times, was incredibly adorable to watch as the seasons went on.
Whether it was their pet names for each other, his patience with her, or small moments like this meme showcases, Dwight was actually really sweet in his relationship to Angela, which fans quite typically found to be endearing. This meme shows a cute moment where Dwight holds a microphone for Angela while she sings Christmas karaoke.
He'd Follow Michael Anywhere
Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute were the dynamic duos no one knew they needed. These two characters were incredibly different, but actually quite similar in many ways. Dwight's dedicated to his boss, Michael, knew no bounds, and he would go along with any plan Michael had in store for the two of them, no matter the consequences. Michael's obsession with parkour soon became Dwight's obsession as well and the two of them simply couldn't be stopped from running around the office. This example is definitely a testament to Dwight's personality.
He Was Hilariously Gullible
Although Dwight would probably have denied any claims that he was gullible, he fell for many of Jim Halpert's pranks, including the time Jim convinced he was an Asian man after hiring an actor to pretend to be him for the day. Or, like this meme shows, the time he convinced Dwight he was turning into a vampire.
The entire episode was hilarious and goes to show how far Dwight would go with these pranks, and essentially, how often he would actually fall for them. Dwight may have been skeptical, but more times than not he found himself victim to Jim's pranks.
His Dedication To Safety
One of the funniest episodes of The Office has to be the episode in which Dwight decides to perform a fire drill in the office without letting any of his co-workers know that it is a drill. He goes the extra mile, torching door handles and creating smoke, causing the entire office to erupt with panic. Angela threw her cat into the ceiling, Michael broke a window and Jim broke the copy machine. It was a superbly written episode that captured Dwight's personality perfectly, just like this meme!
His Secret Sensitivity
This meme, although it makes a relatable joke, also shows Dwight at a vulnerable moment -- of which he actually had many. Dwight was actually very sensitive, and during hard times with Angela, he felt the sting of his heartbreak quite strongly. This meme shows one of those moments, although there were many more, such as the time Jim and Pam stayed on the farm and overheard Dwight crying in his room, clearly heartbroken over the loss of Angela. There were many times he had his feelings hurt and he clearly wasn't one to shy away from his emotions.
He Could Actually Be A Great Friend
There many times on The Office when Dwight proved that he could be a little cold and disregard people's feelings. However, there were more times he actually was a really great friend and made many kind gestures. Whether it was all the things he did for Michael, sweet moments he shared with Angela, or times like this meme shows, Dwight was actually an extremely caring person. This scene shows Dwight after finding Pam crying, immediately wanting to find the person who possibly could have hurt her. This scene is heartwarming and shows Dwight's personality in its truest form.
