Why Does Everybody Like Dwight Schrute?

Dwight Kurt Schrute III is his full name. He is also known as the "Assistant to the Regional Manager", and the Regional Manager being Michael Scott of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch.

Everyone that watches The Office knows that Dwight and his cousin/best friend Mose run and live in their family-owned beet farm, Schrute Farms, selling beets to restaurants, roadside beet stands, and stores. Everyone that has watched the "Product Recall" episode knows that Dwight takes an interest in bears, as well as the television show Battlestar Galactica. In the episode, Jim Halpert, Dwight's co-worker whom Dwight despises very much, dresses up as Schrute, and imitates him. It is from there that the very much loved "Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica" quote originates. I think that it's okay to say that those three words make up who Dwight Schrute is as a person.

I think that Dwight is the strangest, but most amusing person to exist. Besides having a funny side to him, Dwight also has a side of him that shows loyal devotion to his boss, Michael. He devotes himself to making sure that Michael has a reliable assistant, and he makes sure to please his every need. In this way, it is shown that Dwight has a dutiful side to him. This would probably make him an excellent friend.

His words seem to inspire me as a person in more ways than I can imagine. Everybody needs that one inspirational person in life who just continues to open minds and tell words of wisdom. So with every episode comes the thought, I wonder what I will learn today?




Look at that smoldering gaze.

This man/farmer/assistant-to-the-regional-manager/whatever else he is also has a very appealing and striking physical appearance. His perfectly parted hair, bright white look, stylish glasses perfectly positioned on his face, and his signature mustard colored dress shirt and striped tie just scream 'hip".

That's it, folks. Dwight's persona, humor, words, loyalty, and attractive looks make him the likeable person that he is. Some may say that they dislike Dwight Schrute. False. FACT: Everybody loves Dwight Schrute.
