        I don’t know if Michael is a villain. He is dumb. But I don’t know if his motivation is malice. And Stanley just cheated on his wife. The others I can agree with. However, that doesn’t mean ALL were evil. Meredith and Phyllis weren’t evil.

          Michael wasn’t malicious, just so incompetent and oblivious to it that he was a villain. Stanley was grumpy and lazy which is what made him work against the others to thwart them. That also makes him a villain in my book

            Not a pure villain IMO, the show certainly tries to make him lovable/relatable in some ways. See his UK equivalent for someone who is.

      Jim and Pam constantly pull pranks on Dwight that he has no fun in. It’s fun for the viewer, but they’re still terrible people. Daryl is also funny but mean as hell. If you’re putting always sunny and arrested development down there then yes, the office goes down there too. No clue why 30 rock is down in evil though.

          Yeah but every story needs an antagonist. It’s when the entire cast is antagonists that you get the evil layer, e.g. the office, arrested development, sunny etc.
