Implicit Pronouns in Dependent Clauses

In the section "Recurring Characters", this description is found:

Ashy Larry - A shirtless black man with flaky-white skin and chapped lips, who is always seen wearing a pair of white boxer shorts (played by Donnell Rawlings).

Read strictly, that appears to claim that Donnell Rawlings plays the character of Ashy Larry's boxer shorts. In the interests of completeness, I would think the description should also explain who plays the character of Ashy Larry. Or perhaps some editing is in order. I haven't seen the show, so I can't tell.

Just sayin'.

Well, be bold and edit it next time you see something like this. That's one of the points of Wikipedia! (fixed it, btw) DP76764 (Talk) 17:00, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Rashida Jones, guest star?

Anyone else think Rashida Jones should be listed in the "notable guest stars" section? She is definently more popular now than she was then, incase you don't know she's in the "love contract" skit. Just thought I'd put it out there and see what everyone else thinks, I love The Office and think Rashida is gorgeous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.245.163.67 (talk) 04:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Well she is notable, so I see no reason why not. She has been in two episodes according to Imdb _ morde t .. 07:21, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Should there be a "controvercies" section? Discuss

I was wondering if, as in many articles, there should be a section which covers / explain's the show's highly controversial nature, given it's many documented critics. As such, I also think it might be relevant in such a section to spell out some of their arguments as well as detail some of the more noteworthy flashpoints that drew the most widespread and visible criticism. For example, the show attracted considerable negative attention for its frequent use of the offensive epithet the n-word.[1] Currently, all that is mentioned in the article on these subjects is a brief portion of the "Format" section largely irrelevant to that sub-topic which reads:

The show is notorious for its handling of the topic of sexuality and Chappelle's casual usage of racial epithets, categorizing the show as a racial comedy.[citation needed] The show also handles such topics as prostitution, the entertainment industry, gun violence, numerous drug references (particularly marijuana, alcohol, PCP, Crystal Meth and crack cocaine) [...] The TV-MA, TV-14 rated show is controversial in its use of young child actors for some skits.

Tyrone Biggums

I have removed the sentence "Most recently he has again gained the public's attention as political advisor to Toronto Mayor Rob Ford." In the first place, a fictional character cannot be a political adviser. In the second place, I'm pretty sure this is just a joke about Rob Ford's less than squeaky-clean public image. messor (talk) 15:36, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
