          Simon is the first person that came to my mind when I saw this post. Also the way you said UK Inbetweeners made me realize there’s also US version. Even the thought of it sounds terrible and I won’t even bother to check it.

              Maybe in dramas, you can find more examples but for comedy, the office is the best only example I think. Makes you appreciate the producers even more, considering how tough a job it is.

          I’m bad at faces, but he reminds me of a combination of Mike Birbiglia, Seann William Scott, and Anders Holm. (I had to look up two of those names.)

          It seems a bit much to me, as well as a bit dated, but not unusual, interesting, or offensive enough that I would look twice if I saw it in person. I agree, it’s not atrocious.

        I’ve seen that format and keep wondering who that guy is. But I lack terms to look it up and then I forget.

        Who’s that?

          The other commenter in this thread theoretically answered your question. I’m not familiar with the character, so while they’re probably correct, I can’t make any observations on it. I only know him as the “You guys are getting X?” meme guy.

          I think your original question suggests you are familiar with the meme, but just in case I misinterpreted, here’s a random example.
