Is it me or does anyone else not think of Ryan as a main character? Edit: I never understood why he was credited in the intro over the other character’s, especially as the show went on. He was always just there to me.
He fell towards the back more often then not because he, Kelly, and Toby were all writers. That’s why they’re off in a different room most of the time.
10K Productions oh yea i know but when I first watched the office I was kinda confused why he was in the Intro as a main character because he wasn’t as important as Dwight, Pam Jim or Michael. He felt just there to me
I feel the same way. Ryan becomes more important during season 4, but overall, he's mostly just "there". Sure, some episodes of multiple season focus on him. However, it would've been more logical to put Angela or someone else in the intro instead of him, since they're overall more important.
I like to think Ryan WASN'T flanderized and just slowly started dropping his mild facade. I noticed he acts very detached, even in the first couple of seasons. Edit: Or perhaps he was more like Walter White, and simply became a darker version of himself in response to a very toxic work environment.
ryan used kelly and was an ass to everyone in his talking heads since season 1...man was always awful...the fact he goes along with the hazing of dwight who he just met in the pilot annoys me...fuck you ryan...
2019: "Is Jim a sociopath?" 2020: "Is Ryan a sociopath?" 2021: "Is Pam a sociopath?" 2022: "Is Phyllis a sociopath?" 2023: "Is Kevin a sociopath? 2024: "Is Erin a sociopath?" 2025: "Is Darryl a sociopath?" No but seriously, you're probably correct. Something about him was sort of off about him.
Don't forget he remorselessly bad mouthed Michael infront of the entire auditorium in his uni. With the complete knowledge that Michael could easily find out.
Well if he hated Michael so much, he would have quit. He wanted yo distance himself from the company in order to save face (he cares a lot about how he is perceived). Also he has no remorse which is classic sociopathic behaviour.
@@AhmedAdel-fy4ix Michael was clearly in the wrong in a business standpoint and also his presentation was weak. But he has heart and love his employees and is dedicated to them. Ryan was the opposite he was right in a business sense, but was a douche about it. He was also looking for easy answers to complex questions, which in the end took him down.
I would say yes. He really comes off as amoral and devoid of any emotion or compassion for his coworkers. The way he treats Kelly is insane-she routinely claims to be in a committed relationship that Ryan denies exists. The way he stole from the company was also cold and calculating. While Michael routinely professes to like and admire him, Ryan never reciprocated. He also shook down his coworkers for money on several occasions including the Wuph company.
Yeah, but when Kelly lied about being pregnant he asked her out on a date even though he didn't want too, which showed at least some decency. That was a bit earlier though.
But when Ryan asks Erin out and gets rejected he tells Micheal that he doesn't know how Micheal can not care what others think of him. His poetry also makes Jim and Pam cry which shows that he at least in touch with his emotional side to write a poem like that. Also, he feels bad for upsetting Micheal when Micheal teaches his class. Like he shows remorse before he thinks that he is going to get fired so it wasn't entirely self-preservation. Also, he went to business school, so I think at one point he did have a realistic life plan. But after is fraud conviction it was hard for him to get hired (which is why he joined the Micheal Scott Paper Company). So I don't think he has Antisocial Personality Disorder, but I think a point that supports the pathological liar part is when Kelly says "You lie for no reason. Ryan, you just like to lie" (I don't remember it being brought up in the video, but I think it fits with your theory)
Yeah, those are all consistent. Sociopaths are very superficial, caring about what others think when it still matters (AKA, they aren't in your grip). His poetry is manipulation.
I could be wrong, but I always thought he had Borderline Personality Disorder. Dennis Reynolds is often credit with BPD while I think he certainly is so sociopath.
@@crystalwolcott4744 Dennis Reynolds killed Brian Lafev. Watch 3 episodes in succession. Charlie’s mom has cancer, Frank’s back in business and Charlie rules the world.
Ok idk if it’s just me but Ryan’s one of my favorite characters. I don’t think he’s a good person, but his character is really funny. Except when he’s the Vice President of the company and gets on drugs, I hate the Ryan lol. But every other version is gold
Ryan stays hushed in his self-conceit and arrogance until he gains power as the VP. Before that, you see inklings of it like when he patronizes Jim for asking him to pull a prank with him or when Ryan basically calls Jim weak when he fails to get his spot back at the sales table. But yeah, at first you see his lack of position influence his ability to be outspoken in his hostile attitude and lack of caring for his co-workers.
To be fair, Kelly was often manipulative towards Ryan (lying about being pregnant springs to mind), at least early on before Ryan devolved into the maniac he becomes. Then he definitely takes the reigns as the crazier of the two. They’re a full-on psychotic toxic relationship.
I feel like especially towards the beginning of the show, Ryan didn’t actually want a long-term relationship with Kelly, and probably wanted more of a brief fling, but never really knew how to properly end the relationship so he just kind of stayed in it. She also most likely used manipulative tactics to get him to stay in said relationship.
for reasons i can’t entirely explain, Ryan is one of my favorite characters. his character changes are absolutely wild and it was fascinating to watch😂
He wasn't really ever this huge addict, the boss job WAS his coke money. Yeah, he didn't develop any physical addictions. People need to stop assuming drugs have this affect on folks.
Sorry about that I actually got that wrong. Done some research since then and you CAN develop sociopathy from childhood trauma. Its psychopathy you cant develop.
One thing no one ever mentions is his effect on Kelly's personality. How the character changed from a quite employee who Micheal unknowing makes not so PC jokes about. To the "business Bitch" from seasons 3-9. From the chatty but cheerful office BBF of Pam to a women who thinks the ultimate act of love is someone intentionally food poising his own son with a food allery to abandoned him with her. Her personality changed after she and Ryan started hooking up.
There’s a really awesome video man. Seriously I love all your content but something about this direction you’ve been taking lately has me excited to watch your videos more than ever
i honestly think it’s the effect of Michael. there seems to be a trend of the people he is like ‘in love’ with going a bit crazy. for example Jan was a very professional business woman (even while going through her divorce). that was until she kissed Michael, she began to slowly loose her mind during her relationship with Michael. this can also go for Ryan because Michael was OBSESSED with him and i think this also caused him to go crazy. ALSO Ryan is so abusive to Kelly and i feel so bad.
Ryan is one of my favorite characters from The Office. I know he's a bad guy, but I just really like him for some reason, maybe I'm secretly Kelly, idk.
I have to say as a psychologist, this Is a totally well done video, I focused on psychopathy and sociopathy in my research and ryan howard totally shows some of the symptoms of being a sociopath.
I think it’s disingenuous to talk about Ryan’s emotional abuse of Kelly and not talk about all the deeply manipulative tactics Kelly uses on Ryan, including faking a pregnancy
Yeah, she literally even says that whenever she wants something out of someone, she threatens to kill herself. Undoubtably she used that on him too. That’s messed up.
I feel like a big sign of his narcissistic and sociopathic personality was his ongoing hatred of Jim. It kinda seemed out of nowhere how he started hating Jim, but I think it was because Ryan wanted Pam and Jim had already taken her. It especially became noticeable in the season 6 episode "Manager and the Salesman" where Ryan and Dwight go out of their way to try to get Jim fired. This is normal for Dwight, but then Ryan got involved and it got pretty crazy. Ryan wanted to do to jim the same thing he saw in "Saw". Yeah, kinda messed up.
You should talk about how Ryan is considered a main character in the intro, but isn’t given nearly as much screen time as Michael, Dwight, Jim, Pam or even characters that aren’t considered main characters, like Andy, Angela or Erin.
Woah, it’s an eye opener to see how many ppl agree with this, and speaks to how ignorant I’ve been in the past. I used to work at a place with multiple ppl like Ryan. I also dated (and subsequently dumped) someone like that and when I mentioned some of his antics to my therapist she straight up she said, ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a degree of sociopathy there’. I thought I was overthinking it to pit all those ppl as sociopathic, but maybe I should trust my gut more. Happy ending is I now work with an amazing team of people, and my partner gives out zero ‘Ryan’ vibes
Well, no one can compete with the Golden God, c’mon! Also yessssss, the ending! About 2 minutes in that popped into my mind because of your analysis, I’d love to see that theory explored!

Woah, it’s an eye opener to see how many ppl agree with this, and speaks to how ignorant I’ve been in the past. I used to work at a place with multiple ppl like Ryan. I also dated (and subsequently dumped) someone like that and when I mentioned some of his antics to my therapist she straight up she said, ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a degree of sociopathy there’. I thought I was overthinking it to pit all those ppl as sociopathic, but maybe I should trust my gut more. Happy ending is I now work with an amazing team of people, and my partner gives out zero ‘Ryan’ vibes
Is this even a real question? Yes.
Well, no one can compete with the Golden God, c’mon! Also yessssss, the ending! About 2 minutes in that popped into my mind because of your analysis, I’d love to see that theory explored!
i still love ryan. he is my favorite character
I love how Pam never lets him get away with his shit.
Listen 10kP! I don't care if Ryan murdered his entire family. he's like a son to me
