Can't wa to hear what The Office Ladi have to say about Gay Wch Hunt! Anyone, that is, but the show’s token gay man, Osr, who has been margalized and mocked over seven seasons.

THE OFFICE’S GAY CARITURE

Osr (Osr Nunez), one of the three acuntants, is a rtoon gay man. He’s fsy, prissy, athetic, and cel – a sketch of a certa type of homosexual drawn by wrers who seem to know the type at which they’re aimg. 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. ” While Kelly n take her workers to a Diwali celebratn and still reta Kelly-ns, to be Osr is to be a double helix of other, a racial mory pound wh homosexualy, the strangt tra the Office wrers uld possibly image. It was ever th: Osr, never a breakout character, did ltle, other than don wig and hoedrs for Halloween, until his homosexualy was revealed, the send season (like so much else about Osr, this stume is so clanggly obv, his drag so much a straight man’s notn of what a “smug gay Mexin” would do on Halloween).

In the third-season premiere, entled “Gay Wch Hunt, ” Osr outs himself to the entire staff after filg a plat agast Michael for g a gay slur. What happens this episo -– a gay-panic plot that culmat an Osr-Michael kiss -– is far ls important than what me after . The show was unwillg to wre for a gay character for a while, so Osr took a leave of absence; like Sal Romano (Bryan Batt) at Mad Men’s Sterlg Cooper, Osr at Dunr Miffl n be ma to disappear when nvenient.

When he returned, his skmate Kev asked after Osr’s “gaytn”: cute enough, if that had been where end.

In season 5, when Michael, his boss, “roasted” each employee wh a one-ler, he tells Osr, “You’re gay.

” This is a good joke to Michael; a good joke to the wrers of The Office is when Michael tells Andy (Ed Helms), the effete Cornell grad, “You’re gayer than Osr.

Dwight land the joke, as everyone knows gay men n’t, shouldn’t, have kids! A pair of Uggs: tailor-ma for a gay joke ma flh, and at least better than an sult. Any man at Dunr Miffl who isn’t fed by heterosexual sex –- bee they are the show’s central figur, Michael and Dwight have sex wh women regularly, and Jim is the theoretilly pleasant, utterly straight maniftatn of cuddlg a bubble bath after watchg a Nancy Meyers movie –- may jt be gay.

Michael spreads a mor that Andy is gay that even Andy believ, and the sexualy of new rporate overseer Gabe is nstantly st to qutn. Gay panic greas the wheels of The Office’s edy: not sce Plan, Tras, and Automobil’s “Those aren’t pillows” moment has so much been ma of straight men’s fear of the unstraight.

), a “gay bastard. ” That Gabe is a relatnship wh a woman mak no difference -– llg someone gay is a fair prank that Jim n pull, like hidg Dwight’s stapler.

After all, gay men are a standard source of ic relief. On NBC’s Thursday schle alone, there are recurrg gay characters on 30 Rock (the would-be executive Devon Banks) and Parks and Recreatn (April’s hip gay boyiend, and his boyiend) -– and that’s leavg asi the master’s this that uld be wrten on Saturday Night Live’s treatment of gays. But those other shows, to varyg gre, are absurdist –- the character of Devon Banks isn’t a realistic portrayal of a gay man, and he isn’t meant to be.

He’s an often sntily-clad striver whose one weakns is Kenh the Page; he’s about as realistic as the (lerally) two-dimensnal origal gay man TV edy, The Simpsons’s Waylon Smhers. April’s boyiends don’t remble anyone’s ia of a gay uple, and -– aga -– they aren’t meant to. And for all Seth Meyers’s barbs at Weekend Update’s gayish club promoter, Stefon always gets the last lgh.
