All of the best The Office episodes are Michael Scott centric but some feature the great Andy Bernard. The best of Andy Bernard is seen in moments like CPR but he was almost the on the wrong end of the shows changes. The office was forced to completely change Andy Bernard in important ways. This is a look at why the office changed one of its most interesting characters.

    What topic, show, or movies should I cover next? It’s worth pointing out the writers mess with Andy again in the later seasons, to less success and create an entirely different problem.
  • @edwinf4330
    andy telling jim "speaking as a former baby myself" will always be funny to me
  • @Nick-4K
    But don't forget how they destroyed his character in the last season.
  • @martapiga2897
    Writers destroyed Andy's character but Ed's acting remained perfect. He's a great actor and comedian
  • @carlrood4457
    Despite what was done to him towards the end, mainly due to Ed Helms' schedule, the finale did a lot to redeem him. He even got one of the best lines: “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them."
  • @ratosc2
    One of my favorite lines in the office is when Michael is saying goodbye to everyone. He gives Andy his clients and says "But you're the best salesman on the inside. You sold us all on Andy, a product that nobody wanted." That line always warms my heart <3
  • @Rok0711
    His best line: The fire is shooting at us!!! Gets me every time

    I loved when Phyllis said how Andy always listened to her stories and treated them like they were interesting, no matter what.
  • @eric42010
    "Im always thinking one step ahead, like a carpenter...who makes stairs" Idc I loved Andy from start to before last season.
  • they created the worst character, then fixed him and he became one of the most likeable characters and in the end the last season writers destroyed him completely
  • @thepunisher8676
    They saved his character only to ruin him in the last season. Till this day I am still pissed about Andy and Erin breaking up.
  • I was never a big Andy fan but my favorite episode with Andy was when he went to pay off the bet by getting a tattoo on his butt and everyone decided on a Nard dog. That episode was very touching and made Andy a part of the family.
  • @dr_akiipedia
    Ed Helms breathed life in Nard-dog’s character with his skills as an actor, a singer, an acapella artist and his talent of playing various musical instruments. I wish they wouldn’t have spoiled his character so badly by the end of the series. Andy Bernard didn’t deserve such a horrible end of his character arc after all those ups and downs.
  • Season 9 was Andy's worst season but it did provide one of his best quotes. "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. Someone should write a song about that."
  • @jedh3721
    and immediately after this, they ruined Andy and made him into a selfish, whiny child.
  • @woah5333
    I liked him the most when he invited everyone to watch his play. He strikes me as someone who is somewhat talented (can do everything on a base level) but doesn't manage to achieve anything. It's nice the show gave him the ability to sing and play musical instruments, and act on stage plays. I would love to see him do more stuff with kevin/darrel/oscar/toby/pam. He could've gone the similar route as pam going to art school where it doesn't happen off screen
  • @late8641
    One of my favourite things in Office was Andy and Erin getting back together. I genuinely cried out of joy when it happened, and I think making them break up once again was the worst desicion the writers made in the entire series.
  • @sarareveles6959
    I've always liked Andy, my favorite scene with Andy was when Robert California made a winners and losers list of everyone in the office. Andy was upset about the list and sat down with Robert and went through the losers list, for each name, he said a reason as to why that person was not a loser. In my opinion it's a underrated scene and says a lot about andy's character
  • @liuchang9170
    the best andy is after he breaking up with angela
  • @Alin-oy5ne
    Ed Helms' character development was heavily influenced by his involvement in the Hangover movie. The first one was a hit that made the actor popular world wide so the producer had to milk the opportunity, thus giving the character more screen time (that would explain why he replaces Michael as manager). But that was also his downfall in the later seasons mainly to his absence because he had to shoot the sequels. I have a feeling that the writers got tired of re-writing the scripts around his schedule so they intentionally destroyed his character in the last season.
