What is the name of the boorish character on the British version of The Office whose counterpart on the American version is Todd Packer? If you don’t know the answer, I suggest guessing an NBA coach whose team was bounced in the first round of the 2022 playoffs. (And a final reminder: first and last names are required throughout this quiz.)
