Jim Halpert: Paper salesman, office prankster, master of meaningful looks
Jim Halpert is a lovable, slightly goofy nice guy, who enjoys pulling a good prank on office-mate Dwight Schrute. From his cute puppy dog eyes, to his quietly desperate love for Pam the receptionist, to his good-natured practical jokes, and excellent aside "looks" into the camera, Jim is an essential contributor in The Office.
If you haven't watched The Office before, check out some of the videos here, and make room on the Tivo. If you like sharp-witted dialogue that is sometimes uncomfortably politically incorrect, delivered by excellent characters with heart, you will love The Office!

Michael reads Dwight's complaints against Jim
a list of pranks from the past...
Michael Scott: OK, so Dwight, in your own words: "Someone replaced all my pens and pencils with crayons. I suspect Jim Halpert."Michael Scott: Everyone has called me "Dwayne" all day. I think Jim Halpert paid them to.
Jim Halpert: [to camera, laughs] Yes. Five bucks each, and it was totally worth it.
Michael Scott: This morning, I found a bloody glove in my desk drawer, and Jim Halpert tried to convince me I committed murder. I think he may be the real murderer.
Michael Scott: Jim Halpert said there was an abandoned infant in the women's room, when I went to save the child, I saw Meredith on the can.
Michael Scott: This morning, I knocked myself in the head with the phone.
Jim Halpert: [to camera] That actually took a while. I had to put- uh, more and more nickels into his handset until he got used to the weight, and then I just took them all out.
Michael Scott: Every time I typed my name, it said "Diapers".
Jim Halpert: [to camera] Just a simple macro. You know, these actually don't sound that funny, one after another. But he does deserve it, though.
Michael Scott: By the end of the day, my desk was about two feet closer to the copier.
Jim Halpert: [to camera] Yeah, I just moved it an inch every time he went to the bathroom, and that's how I spent the entire day that day.

I don't have a ton of contact with the Scranton branch, but before I left, I took a box of Dwight's stationery. So, from time to time, I send Dwight faxes. From himself. From the future.

Right now, this is just a job. If I advance any higher in this company, then this would be my career. And, well, if this were my career? I'd have to throw myself in front of a train.

Pam and I are good buddies. I'm sort-of Pam's go-to guy for her problems. You know, with stuff like work, or uh, her fiancee Roy, or uh - [thinking of a third problem] - nope those are pretty much her only two problems.

Y'know, when I saw Dwight, I realized how stupid and petty all those pranks I pulled on him were. And then he spoke. I wonder how hard it would be to get a copy of his room key...
