A.J. is a character on NBC's show The Office, portrayed by Rob Huebel. He was Holly Flax's boyfriend, much to Michael's dismay, and works at Dunder Mifflin Nashua with Holly. In an episode, Michael asks how his life is. In "Lecture Circuit" Pam uses the mnemonic device "Holly's Boyfriend" to remember his name. In another episode, Michael calls him a fatty, and makes fun of him. He pretends not to remember him from his and Pam's lecture circuit.
In Season 7, when Holly returns to Scranton, she brings with her a plush doll of Woody from Toy Story that was given to her by A.J. Michael is still jealous and dumps coffee all over it. Holly reveals to Kelly, Pam and Phyllis that she doesn't like their relationship and that she is going to give A.J. an ultimatum in which the relationship is over if A.J. doesn't propose by the end of the year. Later in the episode, A.J. comes down to Scranton to visit Holly and asks her what happened to the Woody doll. Holly lies to him, saying that she spilled salad dressing all over it; another sign that their relationship is crumbling. ("Classy Christmas")
In "Ultimatum", Holly reveals that she gave A.J. the ultimatum and that he did not propose, but their relationship was still going strong. A few episodes later, she realizes that their relationship isn't going anywhere and dumps him.
