Todd F. Packer (usually called simply "Packer") is a fictional character played by David Koechner in the television series The Office.
Packer is a Traveling Sales Representative who tells disrespectful "jokes", such as ridiculing Jim for being "queer". Packer's behavior offends everybody except Michael, who considers him a best friend, although the friendship appears to be largely one-sided, with Packer taking advantage of Michael's admiration for him. Packer treats Michael more like an audience for, and occasional target of, his jokes.
