Angela Kinsey: From “The Office” to the Cheerios Table
Angela Kinsey, best known for her portrayal of the uptight and hilariously “angsty” Angela Martin on The Office (2005–2013), takes her seat at the breakfast table in a Cheerios commercial that reunites her with co-stars Leslie David Baker (Stanley) and Phyllis Smith (Phyllis). In this ad—part of Cheerios’ “ungrumpening” campaign—she joins her comedic cohorts in a lighthearted scene that plays off her character’s famously serious demeanor.
What’s the Concept? “Ungrumpening” with Cereal
This Cheerios spot is part of their “Ungrumpening 5.0” campaign, a playful initiative aimed at brightening moods—especially those of “grumpy” characters like Angela Martin. By placing her at the breakfast table, Cheerios uses Angela Kinsey’s iconic persona to highlight how a simple bowl of cereal can soften even the most notorious grumps. The ad blends nostalgia for The Office with a humorous twist—Angela’s rigid personality lightens in the presence of cereal and her old friends.
