I can read women. You've got to know their wants and their needs. And that can be anything from making sure she's got enough money to buy groceries each week to making sure she's gratified sexually after intercourse."
Dwight's Ideal Woman
  • creamy skin
  • straight teeth
  • curly hair
  • amazing breasts (Schrutes produce very thirsty babies)
  • attracted to two ethnicities,
    [white] and [indian].
Let me describe the perfect date: I take her out to a nice dinner. She looks amazing. Some guy tries to hit on her... now he wants to fight - so I grab him - I throw him into the jukebox! Then the other ninja’s got a knife, he comes at me, we grapple, I turn his knife on him. Blood on the dance floor. She’s scared now. I take her home. I’m holding her in my arms. I reach in for a kiss... I hear something in the leaves, I flip her around, she gets a poison arrow right in her back. She was in on it the whole time... but I knew."

Similarities:
Both interested in Kung Fu and Cars.


Office Battle:
Now, it's difficult to even compare these two because they are so... special.

However, it has to be done. Both characters are so tactless, so egocentric, so delusional.

Gareth and Dwight both have a determined loyalty to their superiors but when it comes down to it, like their superiors, they love themselves.

However, in a recent article (as of Jan 2006) Rainn Wilson, the fine actor who plays Dwight Schrute talks about how Dwight prefers to be No. 2, whether it be Michael Scott or whoever is Regional Manager of AnyCompany. Gareth was once like this, but we see that with the given opportunity, he ultimately fends for himself.

Battle (of wits): draw
Battle (of fists): Dwight Schrute

Similarity Scale: out of 4
