It's clear that Kevin's a fast-food lover, and though we don't actually crush tacos, we can understand his excitement.

In a much deeper sense, Kevin's statement could be seen as a way of saying that if you love something a bit too much, you're destroying it. Yet, we don't think he was planning to get all philosophical.

In an episode Viewing Party, we see how The Office characters would look if they were a real family.

Since Kevin's a proper foodie, he takes his commitment to eating very seriously. While others are occupied with family-like drama, Kevin's in a blanket, eating pigs in a blanket.

It wouldn't be as hilarious if Kevin didn't make himself too cozy on Gale's couch, though it's pretty admirable how he managed to find the perfect spot to watch Glee and enjoy his dinner.

Though clearly, it's not a great idea, even for Kevin, it is relatable since we're all searching for ways to save time. In Kevin's case, it only made things worse.

The idea of talking like a Cookie Monster especially irritated Oscar and his anger is beyond amusing. You can find this shorten words gem in the second episode of season 8, called The Incentive.

A simple conversation turned south when Kevin asked Andy whether he liked tea as much as men's bottoms.

Kevin was sure that Andy's gay, so he blurted out this one line with a smile, making the whole thing awkward and cringy.

It's not the ideal way to quiz your coworker about their sexuality, but it's way better than forcing a kiss on them, as Micheal did with Oscar.

At this point, even Andy was questioning himself whether he was gay, and so did the rest of us. While he was all about the ladies, the fact remains that this Kevin Malone's savage quote is epic for all the wrong reasons.

Pam made some bold moves while Michael was trying to make his employees compete and show team spirit. In the meantime, Kevin's happy to have some food and chill out on the beach.

It's not a stretch to say that this is the dream life of pretty much every person on the planet, making Kevin the most sensible out of all fantastic characters on the show.

In an episode WUPHF.com, everyone's obsessing over Ryan's big internet idea.

While Michael was demanding attention, he said the magic word, sex, and while it didn't work for Stanley, he got Kevin excited.

Though Micheal called him a "pervert," many of us can relate to this instance. Kevin isn't quite the ladies' man, but it doesn't mean that his libido isn't in place.

Back when The Office was on, binge-watching wasn't recommended, but we did it anyway. Things have changed, and now, more than ever, we are entirely in sync with this statement.

While Pam and Jim gave Kevin a side-eye when he honestly answered what he did all weekend, we bet that they wouldn't judge Kevin now.

Kevin Malone was self-quarantining way before the pandemic. It was sad at the time, but to quote Michael Scott:

Dating is hard. We can't all be opened about our sexuality like Meredith. Nor do we have Dwight's animal magnetism.

Despite his shortcomings, Kevin's a good, artistic guy who always sees the glass half full, even when it's clearly completely dry.

11. "I Want To Be Wined And Dined And Sixty-nined"

Kevin was never a hard worker. In fact, he might be among the worst accountants in TV history.

All The Office characters and actors behind them did remarkable jobs. From super horny Meredith to prudish queen Angela, it's hard to pick the best one.

Each character had something unique about them. With Kevin, things were quite simple: what you see is what you get, which is not what one could say about Dwight or Michael.

He captured our hearts from the background, often saving the whole scene with just one quote. Kevin Malone is an everyday hero we sure would like to have in our office!
