The Phillies 1B played himself in the office, IIRC. He pitched some absurd idea to his marketing guys about a movie wherein he was a super hero. Very tongue in cheek, I found it pretty funny.
Ryan Howard was a character that started out as a temp in the office and was on for many seasons of the show. He is not played by or based on Ryan Howard the baseball player. However, in the most recent season Ryan Howard the baseball player does do a cameo appearance on the show. Not confusing at all. I think the former character is what the OP was referring too.

This guy is a real life Ryan Howard. Wow.
I don't watch enough TV to get the reference. I bet it was funny though, given the context. Thanks for checking out the post.
Heh, and I thought he was talking about the Phillies slugger. It seems Ryan Howard was the name of a character in the US sitcom "The Office."

Counting the one with his feet in it, he's put 7 pictures of himself on that page.
I mean comon, can we really count the one with my foot in it? 7 sounds waaaaay bigger than 6.
I didn't count the ones where you're in the mirror, you got off easy.
Fair. For real though, is Ryan Howard's character really into himself?
Don't want to be that guy who doesn't get the joke but I am totally the guy who isn't getting the joke.
IS THIS SOMETHING RYAN HOWARD WOULD SAY?!
His character iterates over the different seasons.
I thought it was a mean remark, but maybe I'm just a sensitive blossom.
Howard does work on a startup (in a cupboard) which is pretty funny. And there are definitely worse characters on the Office.
FWIW I really liked your post. You hit all the points that I've found in the past, and you included the Ben Franklin effect too.
Oh, haha ok. My startup had the word "social" in it, so I think some not-so-subtle jabbing is probably deserved.
Appreciate you checking out the post! (and thanks for filling me in on the joke)
Don't forget the favicon.
