Re: The Office 11/1

Actually he did want to join the finer things club. Then he did try to make a stupid joke. Then he acted as though he read the book, and was called out on it. Something Michael would do.

It was less being part of the club and more being with Pam.

And really the only co-workers who appreciate his jokes are Pam and Kevin.

The inventory episode's cold open is evidence that you're wrong here. Also, the jokes are mainly made for the benefit of the audience. He generally says them in a tone that the camera can pick up, but the majority of the office can't here. Pretty muche everyone in the office respects and likes Jim, and to suggest he's anything like Michael because of a silly scene at the end of this episode is ridiculous.
