Anyone, that is, but the show’s token gay man, Osr, who has been margalized and mocked over seven seasons. Osr (Osr Nunez), one of the three acuntants, is a rtoon gay man.

Osr himself don’t rpond to his workers’ barbs, but the entire nversatn around him is about homosexualy. This was hard to take as anythg but a team effort agast the group’s most different member: Jim (John Krasski), that charmg rogue, bizarrely referred to Osr as a “smug gay Mexin.
