The Goofy and Unfortunate Life of Andy Bernard

Have you ever came across that “corky” co-worker? He/she might not but the funniest, athletic, or popular but you love them anyway. For Dunder Mifflin Scranton, that guy is our lovable Andy Bernard (played by Ed Helms). In the series, Andy Bernard started off on the sales team at the Stamford branch. In season three, he transfers to the Scranton branch with Jim Halpert after the Stamford branch was force to close due to under-performing sales and company cutbacks. Andy’s character changes throughout the series. He began his character as a cocky graduate from Cornell University. Andy’s family is very rich, however; his parents are very “stuck up” and treats Andy with neglect. His parents gives all of their attention to his older brother whom they respect more. This neglecting relationship he encounters with his parents adds to his insecure character we see throughout the series. He was engaged to Angela Martin from the accounting department, but that came to a quick end when she decided to have an affair with Dwight Schrute (her true lover and future husband). Andy did at one point and up in a happy relationship with his office crush Erin Hannon. When Andy’s family went broke, he began over-stressing and showing neglect to his girlfriend Erin. In season 9, Erin was fed up with his actions and decided to leave him. Andy left the company during his regional manager position in a quest to find himself with his moderate musical talents. As you may imagine, this did not go as planned and he ended up alone and unemployed.
