With characters like Darryl in The Office, the doorman in Knocked Up, and Matheson in Pineapple Express, Craig Robinson often plays a rude, easily offended, sarcastic guy who's disappointed in everyone. He's like that in real life, too — an interview ended with him saying I sucked — which is only kinda funny. Onstage, though, it's as hilarious as Michael Scott in lady pants.
