Hey, Big Tuna!

Although he was originally written in as a comic foil for Jim Halpert, Andy Bernard eventually became one of the more sympathetic characters in The Office. While still as annoying as ever with his tendency toward bad jokes and shameless sycophancy (both of which are evidenced by the nickname "Big Tuna", a name he game to Jim after he saw him eating a tuna sandwich), his sincere and generally well-meaning nature eventually won over (or at least pacified) the icy Angela Martin, and she agreed to go on a date with him, which blossomed into a somewhat functional courtship.
