    He’s charming but also a cheat he gave that motivational movie star speech to PC but due more her to get back with his pregnant wife and did a dirty on PC by not signing his name on the agency contract then running off to work with Vanessa Gecko

    Overall a deceitful rabbit

    The main reason I hate Rutabaga is because he calls her CAROLYN. Which is the theme of his entire personality: he just doesn’t care about anything but feeding his own ego.

    I have met people like this in real life. They creep me out. They have this look in their eye while talking to people, like they’re just getting off on the hype they receive from the exchange.

    Has anyone seen the movie, Sorry to Bother You? The “villain” in this movie has a deranged, sinister yet optimistic/innocent vibe to him, and that’s the type I’m getting at.

      That’s why I made this post, his delivery is so good I can’t hate the character either

    Rutabaga nails the office creep. I’ve known hundreds of this guy. (Well maybe 10s, I haven’t had that many jobs) but this guy exists in every work place.

    He played with PC and made her think he was divorcing his wife to be with her. And he’s sleazy

    I hate that he was condescending to PC and willing to cheat on his wife but unwilling to divorce her. And I also hate that later on, despite the show having made us hate him, we are still able, if we try, to understand his side of the story and relate, in a way, to him

      Yep. Everyone hates when the asshole realizes he’s been an asshole before things go completely sideways and cleans his act up before any comeuppance. Personal growth is so aggravating… grrrr

        No but the thing is, there’s no really personal growth. He’s still kind of a dick to PC later on, he’s still pretty much the same. But at the same time we see his side of the story, so we have the fact that he’s an asshole but also the fact that he has a wife and kids whom he loves and needs to care for, so we hate him but we also can’t completely genuinely wish harm upon him, which is kind of frustrating but also very interesting
