Jim stans everywhere: RAISE ๐ YA ๐ STAN- ๐ DARDS. ๐
And as a fan this meme, I couldn't shake one specific fictional character from my head whenever I saw Demi Lovato in a wedding gown.

With that, everyone, may I present to you my dissertation on why Mr. Jim Halpert is the face of bare minimum Twitter:

NBC
When he and Dwight threw Kelly a last-minute "birthday party."
While the use of paper was resourceful given their line of work, these ~minimalist~ decorations really were solely put together by Dwight. Jim did nothing and just insulted Dwight's neutral color scheme, even though he also forgot Kelly's birthday.
NBC
His hair.
JIM HALPERT IS A GROWN MAN. HE HAS THE SAME HAIRCUT AS MY MIDDLE SCHOOL CRUSH.
NBC
When he shared his earbuds with Pam.
Okay, I know I'm gonna get some hate for this one, but honestly, sharing earbuds isn't that grandiose of a gesture. In fact, it's kind of gross.
NBC
When he tried to leave Michael's dinner party early.
And Pam CALLED ๐ HIM ๐ OUT.๐

...And when he left any and all other parties early.
Show up. Stay for a little. Dip. Nothing lost, nothing gained. Right, Jim?
NBC
When he was a terrible employee and still managed to get promoted...?
All Jim ever did at Dunder Mifflin was bitch, flirt with Pam, and play pranks on Dwight, and yet somehow, he still got promoted. The fuq...?!
NBC
When he talked to Pam on the phone while she was away taking her graphic design course.
He answered her call, let her talk about her day and her classmates, and then proceeded to not listen to anything she said. What effort!!!
NBC / Via BuzzFeed
When he didn't help Michael out of the koi pond!!!
Jim just didn't possess the energy — or general human decency — to help him out.
NBC
When he lived with Darryl.
We all found out Jim was an absolute slob, and even worse, he's an inconsiderate roommate. Jim Halpert is officially cancelled!!!
NBC
When he had Cece christened in an Arcade Fire T-shirt.
Because the ding dong forgot to get her a backup dress after a minor incident.
NBC
When he only got enough food for family and close friends at the christening.
When the whole church showed up, they had to ration out that fruit punch. *Whispers "Bare minimum."*
NBC
When he didn't know the words to Alanis Morrissette's iconic song "You Oughta Know."
Jim sang, "I'm here to remind you of the mess you made when you went away." The lyric is actually "...the mess you left when you went away." Not knowing "You Oughta Know"? Bare minimum.
NBC
And finally, when he wrote out his famous "priorities paper."
EVERYONE LOVES THIS BUT IT'S NOT EVEN THAT CUTE...??? HE COULD'VE MADE A GRAPH OR A PIE CHART, BUT NOOOOOOOOO. Sorry Pam, but it's not pretty killer. It's the BARE. ๐ MIN- ๐ I- ๐ MUM. ๐
NBC
Come on, Jim.
