[edit] Season 1:

Stanley works hard at cross word puzzles. Stanley is a long-time worker at Dunder Mifflin; he's been divorced and has a daughter from his first marriage. There is a picture of his daughter hanging over his desk that Michael tends to stare at, despite the fact she's only in 8th grade. He isn't loyal to Michael at all, and was very happy to hear he was getting laid off, even though the rumor was false.

[edit] Season 2:

Stanley works hard at cross word puzzles. Teri (or Terry) is the name of his new wife. When he brings his daughter to work, she tries to flirt with Ryan. Kelly sees this and tells Stanley out of jealousy. Stanley takes Ryan outside and yells at him, because apparently Kelly said that Ryan was trying to flirt with his daughter.

[edit] Season 3:

Stanley works hard at cross word puzzles. A notable line of his is: "I wake up every morning in a bed that’s too small, drive my daughter to a school that’s too expensive, and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little, but on pretzel day? Well, I like pretzel day..." "Pretzel day" refers to the annual day on which the employees are given complementary baked pretzels, which he greatly enjoys.

[edit] Season 4:

Stanley is known as the sassy man at the office. Also, the manager of Utica branch, Karen, tries to get Stanley to join her. Michael, Dwight, and Jim go there to stop her and succeed to get Stanley to stay. Then as always not doing work and on a crossword, Stanley yells at Michael "Did I Stutter?"! Michael fake fires Stanley who says that he will sue him. Michael and Stanley argue and in the end Stanley stays, pretends to respect Michael, and continues doing cross-words at work.

[edit] Season 5:

Stanley continues with work until Stress Relief. Dwight fakes a fire and everyone freaks out. Stanley has a mild heart attack. When he returns, his doctor has told him that if Stanley keeps getting stressed, he will die. Now, Stanley has a stress monitor. When Michael is near are the times where Stanley is the most stressed.

[edit] Trivia

  • AKA Stanley the Manly
  • A line in "Survivor Man" seems to indicate that Stanley may be diabetic.
  • In the episode Gay Witch Hunt, Stanley implies he has 2 toasters at his house, one of which was intended to be a wedding gift to Pam and Roy, but the wedding was canceled. He states he tried to return the toaster, but was unable to do so because the store claimed they "no longer sold that kind of toaster". He even tries to give the same toaster to Bob and Phyllis, only to find that Jim had gotten the marrying couple a toaster as well.

[edit] Quotes
