Ed Helms Mocks 'Fragile' Trump Using This Iconic Andy Scene From 'The Office'

Ed Helms spilled on the “valuable lessons” he’s learned in show business ― including how one bad-tempered gag from “The Office” reminded him of former President Donald Trump.

The actor and comedian spoke Tuesday at a Nevada campaign rally for Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. During his remarks, Helms reflected on his “Office” character, Andy Bernard, punching a hole in a wall “because his fragile little ego couldn’t handle getting made fun of.”

“We don’t want leaders with fragile little egos,” Helms declared. “We need steady, grounded, reliable leaders who reach out and build bridges, both figuratively and literally. Leaders who heal our divisions, not worsen them.”

Helms was referring to an iconic scene from the third season of “The Office” where Andy punched a wall in a fit of rage after Jim Halpert (played by John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) pulled a prank on him.

The actor would later punch another hole in a wall and get fired from his role as regional manager of Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton location in the show’s eighth season. He’d eventually be brought back into the role later in the season.

Helms, elsewhere in his remarks Tuesday, made a dig at the GOP nominee by pointing to a lesson he learned playing Stuart Price in the “Hangover” movies.

“[They] taught me that waking up to chaos is never good,” he said. “And that’s something we all had to kind of get used to, back around 2016 to 2020. Do you remember that? Just chaos all the time, day after day, and I for one sure as hell don’t want to go back to that.”
