Top 5 Sitcom Coworkers You'd Actually Want at the Next Desk

Forget the funniest characters: these are the ones who would make a real Tuesday at a real job noticeably less miserable.

1. 1

   Leslie Knope — Parks and Recreation

   Yes, she'd make you a 40-page binder for your birthday, but she'd also go to war for your promotion and win it.

2. 2

   Jim Halpert — The Office

   Perfect for shared eye-rolls across the room, as long as you never leave your stapler unattended near a bowl of Jell-O.

3. 3

   Donna Meagle — Parks and Recreation

   She'd never do your work, but she'd tell you exactly who to ignore, and then she'd get you invited to Treat Yo' Self.

4. 4

   Rosa Diaz — Brooklyn Nine-Nine

   She'd say nothing at all in meetings and then quietly destroy anyone who came for you, which is the ideal desk neighbor.

5. 5

   Ted Lasso — Ted Lasso

   The biscuits alone earn him a spot, and he's the rare boss whose pep talks land on a bad day instead of making it worse.
