I think the problem is that he's one of those characters whose characterization may or may not depend a bit on whoever wrote the episode - I don't really keep track of who wrote what, but sometimes he's portrayed as selfish with a heart of gold, other times as trying to have a heart of gold, but also very selfish, if that makes sense?

I definitely agree that he's redeeming overall, though.

ayrt

Yeah, that makes sense. Sometimes he'll do just do something nice for his friends and it's no big deal, but there are other times where he almost does something nice, but his own goals get in the way and he ends up being selfish, like when he took over one of Leslie's events that was supposed to be just about her and made it all about advertising for his failing company or the time in the most recent episode where he was supposed to let Ben speak at a ceremony, but ended up talking about himself instead. Sure, he did later make up for these things by showing Leslie a very sweet video he made about her life that he intended to show at her event and giving Ben a copy of the emotional speech that he meant to give at the ceremony, but his actions still caused a lot of damage at the time.

AYRT - Exactly! He said what he meant to do, and that's all well and good, but he didn't. But then you have great episodes where he goes out of his way unexpectedly.
