NCISstar Brian Dietzen aka medical examiner Jimmy Palmer was never a dark and ironicZiva-pop in.
But no one’s arguing that Jimmy Palmer isn’t something special.
But it’s not Palmer’s passion for autopsies that captivates NCIS fans' hearts.
As Dietzin himself pointed out, his character has an unlikely “superpower.”
That’s how Dietzen described it toVariety, at least.
Jimmy Palmer is almost nauseatingly optimistic.
There’s another reason we all love Jimmy Palmer: his painfully awkward sense of humor.
What is ‘pulling a Palmer’?
“Cheatsheetquotes a CBS interview with Brian Dietzen which explains the phenomenon.
“Pulling a Palmer is when you say something grossly inaccurate,” Dietzen told the news outlet.
“It’s just a bad joke, and you see that no one is laughing.”
“And then having to redact it immediately.”
Says Dinozzo of Bishop to Gibbs, “She pulled a Palmer, Boss” (viaIMDb).
