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.
