#6: The Office: Kevin’s Scheme

This theory surrounding Kevin Malone, the lovable but seemingly dim-witted accountant from The Office, suggests that his apparent stupidity may be an elaborate act to cover up a secret gambling addiction. Fans have noted that in the early seasons of the show, Kevin exhibits a surprising level of competence in his job. The theory posits that he intentionally plays up his bumbling persona to divert suspicion and embezzle money from the company.

As they point out, after being fired from Dunder Mifflin, Kevin mysteriously manages to buy a bar, implying that he had indeed been accumulating funds. Whether or not it’s true, this theory adds a layer of complexity to Kevin’s character and emphasizes the clever writing behind The Office, leaving fans to wonder if his supposed stupidity was all just an act.
