Another Top 10 Male TV Characters (In no particular order)

I posted something like this before but I added some favorite characters and I had to get my feelings down in writing :) You can read my other post, but in summation, the characters I mentioned before were: Gilbert Blythe, Lenny Bruce, Logan Echolls, Mike Wheeler, Steve Harrington, Shawn Spencer, Burton Guster, Stanley Barber, Luke Danes, and Jim Hopper.

Pacey Witter (Dawson’s Creek)

I’ve found that my top 3 favorite male characters have something in common. They’re all funny men with a deep sadness underneath. Logan Echolls, Gilbert Blythe, and Pacey Witter. Pacey is such a kind guy. He is so caring and comforting. He is also so funny, snarky, and sarcastic. But then there is that vulnerability that he has and it’s so appealing. Pacey is this strange combination of complete confidence but also having a strong streak of insecurity. There’s this scene in season 1 where Pacey opens up to Joey and tells this story of how when he was 8 years old he lost a game of baseball and his father yelled and screamed at him and called him a disgrace. The next day he overheard him tell Pacey’s brother about the events and his father said “at least I have you.” The way that Joshua Jackson delivers that is so heartbreaking and makes you want to give him a hug. Joey and Pacey are far and above the most entertaining and interesting characters in all of Dawson’s Creek.

Jim Halpert (The Office)

Jim is such an important part of The Office in my opinion. He's the type of character that all those mockumentaries need. There are so many crazy characters and they need some normal characters that you can relate to. Yet Jim is also far from boring. He's hilarious and an extremely entertaining part of the show. Also John Krasinski is the freakin best :)

Ben Gross (Never Have I Ever)

Ben Gross is another character like Logan and Pacey who is funny and yet also has a deep sadness beneath all of it. You really don't start the season feeling too much sympathy for his character. Though I don't believe it's right to demonize Ben more than Devi. When the show starts they are very antagonistic to each other and they both say hurtful things to each other. But when Ben starts caring about Devi, he does not look back. Ben would do anything for her, even drive in bumper to bumper traffic even though he's terrified of it. In episode 6, we see Ben's home life for the first time. That's when collectively so many people started to feel immeasurably sad for Ben. He puts forth this facade at school, but we find he just a sad and lonely boy who deserves all the love in the world.

Nick Miller (New Girl)

Nick Miller is iconic. There's a reason that he was trending on Twitter 9 years after New Girl began and 2 years after it ended. I could never find the reason he was trending aside from the fact that he some classic and iconic lines and a lot of people are discovering the wonderful world of loving Nick Miller. Nick is an absolute gem and in my opinion the best character in New Girl.

Maxwell Smart (Get Smart)

Maxwell Smart is such a deservedly beloved TV character. Max and Get Smart are so important. So many of Max's lines have entered the English lexicon and taken on lives of their own, such as "Would you believe...," "Missed it by that much," "Sorry about that Chief," and "I asked you not to tell me that." He's hilarious and no can play him as well as Don Adams.

Lucas Sinclair (Stranger Things)

Lucas is such an underappreciated character. On Youtube there is next to no tributes to his character. He's always been amazing but season 3 really brought him up to a new level for me. Lucas saved the day at the end of the season. I would also say that El's humanity and how she got through to Billy helped save the day. But it was Lucas' idea to use fireworks on the monster and that was huge. Plus he had the heroes entrance. When they reveal who is throwing the fireworks and Lucas says "Flay this, you ugly piece of shit!!" It's a truly iconic line for an iconic character. Actually Lucas continually saved everyone's asses in Season 3. Also he's so funny... especially in season 3. I feel like the writers did a good job of shining a light on Lucas and giving a lot more to do. I love that we got to see Mike and Lucas' friendship as well, we've heard so much about it in past seasons, but to finally see the friendship in action was supremely important.

Dustin Henderson (Stranger Things)

Dustin is a precious ball of sunshine and must be protected at all costs. He has the sweetest smile and the kindest heart. He’s also a literal genius. If your ever in a bad mood just google his name it’s just what you need to brighten your day :) Side note. Gaten is a comedic genius already!!

Winston Bishop (New Girl)

Winston Bishop AKA Prank Sinatra!!! Lamorne is such an amazing addition to New Girl. There are so many classic Winston moments, like his love of “puzzling.” His inability to do a prank without going way overboard or not going far enough. I also love the scene where he gets the glasses that counteract his color blindness, his excitement at seeing different colors for the first time is so pure!!

Jerry Helper (The Dick Van Dyke Show)

Jerry Helper is such a dynamic person and a lot of that is thanks to the fact that Jerry Paris (who plays him) is so dynamic. I think the saddest thing about TDVDS is that Jerry had less of a big part of show as it went on, because Jerry Paris became the main director of the show. It was his dream to be a director, so i’m happy for him, but it just means that he directed more of the episodes and acted in less of them. Jerry and Millie were perfect for each other, they were both such entertaining people and I loved their relationship on the show. In a lot of shows there’s always the token couple who seems to hate each other and fight bitterly. Jerry and Millie were the type of couple who fought all the time, but the unique part is they truly love each other as well. The way it’s written you get the impression that they fight passionately but they also make up passionately.... do I need to write Jerry and Millie fanfiction? I think I do ;) Side note: were Jerry and Millie the first couple on TV to go to marriage therapy? I feel like they were, which is another way that The Dick Van Dyke Show was ahead of it’s time.

Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli (Happy Days)

The fucking Fonz!!!!! Icon!!!!! I don’t think there has ever been a more iconic character in all of television. It’s been said that after The Fonz talked about getting a library card in an episode the amount of library cards being issued spiked dramatically. Supposedly the library association said that it spiked by 500%, whether or not that exact amount is correct, it points to just how popular The Fonz was. His leather jacket is in The Smithsonian museum. But the The Fonz is not just cool, he’s also an extremely interesting character. Sadly he was abandoned by his father and by the sounds of it also his mother. He was largely raised by his grandmother since the age of 6. He dropped out of high school and he joined a gang. Fonzie is an incredible man and he adopted a son out of wedlock because he wanted to give a kid a better childhood than what he had. He truly was a symbol of kindness and he was the coolest fucking character to ever exist. He was a proponent of civil rights and advocate for people with disabilities, and he even learned sign language so that he could communicate with a woman who was hearing impaired. Henry Winkler was nominated 3 times for that role. Since then Henry has gone on to other amazing roles. He had a part in Arrested Development, he plays Jean Ralphio’s father in Parks And Recreation. And most recently he finally won a much deserved Emmy for his role in “Barry.”

Well, it looks like Vanity Fair has joined Buzzfeed in not knowing anything about The Office but wanting to talk shit on it anyway. Here’s the newest nonsense:

For example, some time after Schur stopped receiving full writing credit on episodes of ‘The Office'—he was busy launching ‘Parks and Recreation'—the show made the mistake of driving a wedge between Jim and Pam in its final season. That’s not to say real couples don’t go through tumult, but the character assassination of Jim Halpert in the pursuit of high-stakes drama caused a beloved show to end on a sour note. No such trauma ever touched Leslie and Ben’s marriage and it feels unlikely that anything like it would befall Amy and Jake.

The writer of this article could not be more wrong about Jim/Pam or the series finale of The Office if they were a six-year-old who had never watched anything but Care Bears, and because I’m feeling pretty irate about it, I’m going to respond. (Beneath a cut, though, because this is long and I’m not bothering to be polite about it.)

First of all, just to get this out of the way: Jim throwing himself wholeheartedly into Athleap, to the point where it caused marital strife between himself and Pam, was nowhere near “character assassination.” “Character assassination” is what occurs when a character is written out of character, often for the sake of strife or drama, and that is far and away not what happened here.

Don’t get me wrong, before anyone gets it twisted: I love Jim Halpert. He’s far and away one of my favorite characters on The Office. But the reason why I love him is because he’s a realistic, believably written character who has as many flaws as he has good qualities (and the same goes for Pam, and every other character on the show). Jim was never supposed to be an idealized perfect boyfriend like Ben Wyatt. You want to talk about how Ben and Leslie never have problems? It’s because Ben and Leslie were written to be ideals. Parks and Recreation was written to be an optimistic, idealistic show, removed from the confines of reality. The reason why Pawnee, IN is so completely ridiculous is because it was always meant to be somewhat absurdist. The antagonists are cartoonish, and the protagonists are all idealized. Ben Wyatt was written to be The Perfect Boyfriend™. Any flaws he has, such as being “geeky,” only serve to make him more endearing and lovable. He is an Ideal. Leslie is an Ideal. And as such, their relationship is Ideal and, therefore, would never have realistic problems that would actually affect real, living, breathing human beings.

Jim and Pam are not like that. Jim, from season one, has always had actual flaws that could cause problems in his relationships. In season two’s “Office Olympics” Pam herself has a talking head where she talks about how, when Jim gets really into something, he gets super into it and does a really great job. But the problem, Pam says, is that he works at Dunder-Mifflin, so that rarely ever happens. I bring this up because Jim throwing himself wholeheartedly into Athleap in season nine, to the point where he tunnel visions on that and blocks out everything else, was a consistent character trait brought up in season TWO. The reason why it didn’t cause strife between Jim and Pam before is because they were on the same page before---they wanted the same things before. But Pam---because she was ALSO written consistently!---dug her heels in and didn’t want to move, because even after her development she tends to be hesitant when it comes to huge changes, whether that means being terrified of giving birth to her first child, or not wanting to move to Philadelphia. This means that Jim and Pam, for once, were not on the same page about their future, which means that these flaws that both of them always had from the very beginning of the series put them at odds with one another, as happens with real human beings in relationships.

Oh, and by the by? Jim getting tunnel vision about the things he wants and throwing himself into them 100% was foreshadowed as early as season two, but in season four when he shows Pam Second Life (as a means to show her Dwight’s Second Life character), she discovers that Jim’s Second LIfe character is a sports writer from Philadelphia. She thinks it’s hilarious and chants, “Show me Philly Jim! I want Philly Jim!” This is harsher in hindsight when we get to season nine and realize that Philly Jim ends up pulling away from his family (TEMPORARILY) because he’s so focused on that that he can’t focus on what’s going on in Scranton. So, again, this plot was set up long in advance. There’s foreshadowing for it pretty early on, if you’re paying attention.

So, right off the bat: It wasn’t character assassination. Jim was always a well-rounded character. So was Pam. Neither of them are perfect human beings, because while Parks and Recreation is an idealistic show with idealized characters, The Office is a realistic show with realistic characters. The two shows foil each other in every way possible (private vs. public sector, idealism vs. realism), and so it’s blatantly obvious why Ben and Leslie have a Perfect Marriage™ while Jim and Pam have a more realistic one.

But that aside? “The show ends on a sour note” --- are you kidding?

First of all, again, Jim and Pam’s problems were temporary. The two go to marriage counseling, and although Pam still feels conflicted, Jim tells her that---well, here, you can see the scene for yourself. They reconcile. And Jim, realizing that he almost lost Pam, decides to leave Athleap (at least for the time being) to spend more time in Scranton with Pam and the kids. He ends up staying there. And when Pam still has doubts, thinking that she won’t be enough for him, Jim is so flabbergasted that he has the documentary crew create a music montage of all their moments together, so that he can ultimately tell her:

“Not enough for me? You are . . . everything.”

Ultimately, in the finale, their issues are addressed. During a panel they hosted where people who watched the documentary (in-universe, of course), someone asked Pam what she was doing to “pay Jim back” for leaving Athleap. Jim cuts her off and says that “she pays me back every day, just by being my wife.” Pam is touched, but says she’s working on something. (And she also says, I think a bit before that, in response to a question of how she could have doubted Jim’s love for her, that she was scared of messing up what she felt was a perfect life. She says, “Everyone came up on the street and told me I had a fairy tale romance. But there were many times last year when it did not feel like a fairy tale. But it’s okay, because now it’s better than a fairy tale. It’s like---it’s like reading an amazing book that you never want to end.”) During Dwight’s wedding reception, Pam kisses Jim, and Jim smiles and says, “See? Now you don’t owe me anything” --- jokingly, of course. And then, when they return home, it’s to reveal Pam has sold their house so they can move to Texas and Jim can pick up with Athleap right where he left off.

You see where I’m going with this?

They tell Dwight they’re leaving, and he gives them twelve months of severence. Pam sits on Jim’s lap while Creed plays a song for them, her head on Jim’s shoulder. She says in one of her final quotes, “Jim sat five feet from my desk and it took me four years to get to him” and “don’t get me wrong, I’m not some tragic person. I’m really happy now.” Jim, likewise, says tha the owes everything he has to this job, that he’s so happy that the documentary gave him a chance to watch himself fall in love, become a husband, become a father. It is made painstakingly obvious that Jim and Pam are as deeply in love and happy in the series end as they ever were. They had a time of strife, because they both have flaws that clashed for a time, but they’re so happy and in love and hopeful for their future. And as if there was any lingering doubt, NBC had (at least for a time, idk if it’s still up) a “Where Are They Now?” photo slideshow up on their website, which revealed that they’re both incredibly happy in Austin (Jim is with Athleap, and Pam is a prominent member of the art scene). They’re happy and in love and absolutely nothing about that is sour, honest to god, I don’t know what show the writer of this article was watching.

So yeah, this is ridiculous, and to be honest I’m getting really, really tired of Parks & Rec stans bashing The Office. Whether it’s trying to tear down Jim/Pam to make Ben/Leslie look better, or tearing down the show in general in an attempt to make Parks & Rec look better, it’s really beyond old. I really enjoyed Parks and Recreation when I watched it, but all of this has honestly made me feel like I dislike it (when I don’t!) because I’m sick of seeing something else I really love constantly torn down and unjustly criticized in the pursuit of making Parks and Rec look better than it was. Prefer Parks and Rec and Ben/Leslie all you want, but don’t spread lies about The Office and Jim/Pam while you’re at it. The Office has arguably the best series finale in television history for how well it tied everything together and how it left every single character on a happy note (even Creed seemed fine going to jail, tbh), and to see that called “sour” because someone didn’t bother to actually watch the conclusion is honestly pretty upsetting.

#the office #jim halpert #pam beesly halpert #i'm not going to tag this meta because it's not really meta #it's just Facts #but god i'm so fucking irritated #at this point i feel like saying ''i don't like Parks and Rec'' because of how sick I am of this bullshit #and that's not even getting into how I feel about how Jake/Amy was written #godddd i'm so aggravated #i didn't want to hijack someone else's post tho so here this is in an individual post #but goddamn i'm irritated #either actually understand the shows you watch or don't fucking write about them #it's not goddamn difficult

My Top 10s: TV Shows

I’m planning on doing a little series of my top 10s, partly in celebration of getting 900 followers (like that has any relevance) and mostly because I just like listing things. Also, if a show is on this list, you should definitely check it out!

1. Sherlock

Why I love it: It’s just bloody brilliant. It’s a haunting, clever, whimsical, heart-wrenching modernization of the greatest detective in literature. It makes the stakes higher and warms the heart of the story and brings with it so much of the mythos of the original in an utterly novel retelling.

Favorite character: Sherlock Holmes. I know it’s cliche. But I just--I can’t choose anyone else. (I would choose everyone else, basically--I love the main characters SO MUCH.)

Favorite episode: The Reichenbach Fall & The Final Problem (tie)

Ships: Sherlolly, Warstan

2. Supernatural

Why I love it: It’s a modern Odyssey meets Western meets horror movie, and it’s about two brothers. It’s all about brothers. I FREAKING LOVE BROTHERS.

Favorite character: Dean Winchester. I’m in love, always and forever.

Favorite episode: Swan Song

Ships: Sam/Sarah, Dean/Bela, Dean/Jo, Bobby/Jody

3. Suits

Why I love it: It’s the show that made me go to law school. It’s slick and funny and smart, and it also tugs at the heartstrings like no other. Plus, like most USA shows, it has a small main cast who you get to know super well.

Favorite character: Harvey Specter & Donna Paulsen (tie) (I can’t separate them, even here)

Favorite episode: Intent (the one where Harvey says, You know I love you, Donna)

Ships: DARVEY

4. Marvel’s Daredevil

Why I love it: It had me sold on the very first scene. I couldn’t put it down. I was terrified and electrified and it’s such a gritty Catholic film noir masquerading as a superhero show. SIGN ME UP.

Favorite character: Matthew Murdock, my beloved blind Catholic ninja avocado

Favorite episode: Cut Man #originalhallwayfightscene

Ships: ClaireDevil; Elektra/Matt; Karen/Frank

5. Friday Night Lights

Why I love it: I never thought I’d love a show about football, but I was 100% in by the very first episode. The quality of this show is so vastly superior to almost everything else that exists. The entire first season is so pitch perfect you are enthralled by the ENTIRE THING (I know, I just rewatched it). You cry. A lot. You laugh. A lot. It is the real-est show I’ve ever seen.

Favorite character: Tim Riggins. I’d marry him. I’d save him. He’s beautiful.

Favorite episode: I Think We Should Have Sex (1x17--it’s so tragic)

Ships: Tim/Tyra, Tami/Coach T.

6. White Collar

Why I love it: It’s the first show I ever watched. It was so cool and interesting and exciting and it remains just the biggest dose of glamorous FUN you’ve ever seen. Watch it at once.

Favorite character: Neal Caffrey & Peter Burke (again, you can’t have one without the other)

Favorite episode: Au Revoir (the most beautiful, perfect finale)

Ships: Elizabeth/Peter (THE OTP), Neal/Alex

7. The Office

Why I love it: I don’t care much for comedy, in general, but this show is not only hilarious, it is REAL. It is, perhaps, the best comedy show ever created.

Favorite character: Jim Halpert

Favorite episode: Casino Night

Ships: Jim/Pam, Michael/Holly, Dwight/Angela (who else could they be with?)

8. Agent Carter

Why I love it: It’s the most beautiful little show--vintage and yet very, very compelling. And it tells a story that needed to be told SO BADLY.

Favorite character: Peggy Carter

Favorite episode: Both season finales were fantastic.

Ships: Peggy/Sousa ALL THE WAY (except that my heart still wants Peggy/Steve! What! To! Do!); Johnson/Surviving

9. Stranger Things

Why I love it: I can’t believe that this gem didn’t exist such a short time ago. It feels like it’s ALWAYS existed. It’s funny and real, and it’s scary and fantastic, and it gives you a cast of young heroes to LOVE, and it’s just...it’s pitch-perfect.

Favorite character: Eleven

Favorite episode: The Upside Down (because I like angst and season finales, apparentl)

Ships: Mileven

10. Once Upon a Time*

*I haven’t finished Season 6. This show frustrated me in a big way but there was a time when I couldn’t get enough of it.

Why I love(d) it: Modern fairytales! And one of the best ships of all time. At its prime, it was so wonderfully magical. It told stories with heart and whimsy, and it could be eerie and it could make me cry. It lost the magic, in my opinion.

Favorite character: Both halves of Captain Swan

Favorite episode: Tallahassee; Good Form; and The Captain Swan Movie (i.e., the last two episodes of Season 3)

Ships: CAPTAIN SWAN; Snowing

15 perfect graduation cap designs for fans of 'The Office'

If you're reading this article let me be the first to say congratulations — not only on your impending graduation, but on having excellent taste in television shows.

You are graduating. That means you're like, really smart now. And any really smart fan of The Office would want to finish off the school year in style — by decorating their graduation cap with references to the beloved employees of Dunder Mifflin.

From Michael Scott and Kelly Kapoor quotes, to Scott's Tots and bankruptcy jokes, the NBC comedy is full of potential graduation cap ideas.

Here are 15 Office-themed graduation caps to use as inspiration so you won't have to aimlessly wander a craft store waiting for genius to strike.

1. If you don't have your future mapped out

In honor of me graduating college about a year ago, I think @theofficenbc @jennafischer @AngelaKinsey @SteveCarell and @rainnwilson need to see my graduation cap! pic.twitter.com/IoegKHWW5o

— Lauren Capraro (@LaurenCapraro) December 8, 2017

For those who aren't sure what the future holds — aka, everyone — a graduation cap based off of that one time Michael obeyed his GPS and drove his car into a lake can serve as a major Graduation Mood.

2. If you're into alliteration

Thank you to The Office which got me through most of college. I hope @johnkrasinski and @rainnwilson like my grad cap as much as I do! #TheOffice #rowan2018 pic.twitter.com/yAslYjsCnQ

Sorry, Battlestar Galactica, but we're pretty sure Jim Halpert would happily change his Dwight impression to "Bears, Beets, Bachelor's degree" if he knew it was graduation day.

5. If you're more excited than Stanley on pretzel day

Still in love with my grad cap @theofficenbc pic.twitter.com/RzGeCejbNq

— Kelsie (@kelsie20walker) June 25, 2017

Any fan of the show knows how much Stanley adores pretzel day, so if you want to make a huge statement about your level of graduation day excitement, this is the hat for you.

6. If you need to make one more "that's what she said" joke

For those who aren't quite ready to say goodbye, though, just know it's OK to treat graduation day like a poorly planed fire drill.

11. If you have no clue how you managed

Somehow I managed💁🏼 Finished my graduation cap 😋@jennafischer @johnkrasinski @SteveCarell @theofficenbc pic.twitter.com/2IDtOBEmK6

— Brittney Cash♡♡ (@bcashxo) May 1, 2019

"May your hats fly as high as your dreams" is a classically beloved Michael Scott graduation quote. I am a little biased though, since it's the one I chose for my own cap.

14. If you have big student debt

I'd like to personally thank @SteveCarell for inspiring my graduation cap. I couldn't have survived college without you pic.twitter.com/TGzn12TKT8

— Samantha Hulliberger (@samhulliberger) May 18, 2017

Oscar: "I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the word bankruptcy and expect anything to happen."

College students: "We didn't say it, we declared it."

15. If you're in the mood to complain

Can everyone please take a moment to appreciate the perfection that is @JesscaMilky's graduation cap?? pic.twitter.com/RSMjGVpczo

— Alexa (@actuallyalexa) May 7, 2016

All the studying was a pain, sure. But nothing was worse than those dementors.

Get decorating people, because in the wise words of Wayne Gretzky, Michael Scott, and me, "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take."

Behold: ‘The Office’ characters reimagined as cartoons

Image: Marisa Livingston

FACT: The Office will never die.

Sure, the NBC comedy ended in 2013, but the show's beloved characters will live on in our hearts, minds, and apparently sketchpads forever.

The latest tribute to the Dunder Mifflin crew comes from Marisa Livingston, a Los Angeles artist who transformed Michael Scott and the gang into some of the most perfect cartoon characters we've ever seen.

#the office #character design #art pic.twitter.com/JvyQFUXMqV

— Marisa Livingston (@Marisa_Draws) February 28, 2018

SEE ALSO: 'The Office' made a 'Making a Murderer' parody about the Scranton Strangler

Livingston started off by animating the World's Best Boss, along with some of our favorite core office employees like Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly, Dwight Shrute, Kelly Kapoor, and Andy Bernard.

But then, things got even better. She took her Office stanning to an entirely other level and tackled some secondary (but still HUGELY critical) characters like Ryan, Meredith, Jan, Stanley, Creed, Oscar, Kevin, Phyllis, Darryl, Holly, and Erin. Also, Toby (If anyone cares).

Image: Marisa Livingston

Livingston even cartoon-ified characters that appeared in the final seasons of the show, like Charles Miner, who's played by the handsome, smooth, and very talented Idris Elba.

Image: Marisa Livingston

Here's a photo of several cast members IRL for comparison. THEY. ARE. UNCANNY.

Image: nbc

"The characters are charming and memorable and lended themselves easily to being drawn," Livingston told Mashable via email, noting the great cast and crew of the show inspired her drawings.

"It was fun and rewarding to translate my appreciation for the show into something tangible and I'm so happy others like my interpretations as well," she went on.

What more could Office fans ask for? Nothing, except maybe a cartoon Mose. But sadly Livingston is done drawing characters from the NBC comedy and wants try her hand at characters from other shows with smaller casts.

I don't want to disappoint, but I've drawn all The Office characters that I wanted to draw. 24 of them was plenty for me! At this point, I'd rather have a look at doing other, smaller show casts in the future when my free time permits. Thank you!! Much love :)

10 Quotes From The Office That Are Still Hilarious Today – Screen Rant

The Office gave rise to a lot of popular sitcoms, like the NBC conglomerate consisting of Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn 99, and The Good Place. Though some jokes haven’t aged well, the series still has a lot of quotes and moments that are laugh out loud funny today.

RELATED: 5 Ways The Office Has Aged Poorly (& 5 Ways It’s Timeless)

Given the amount of Dunder Mifflin swag you can find in any given pop culture store, it’s still beloved in the hearts of the general populace. Also, there’s actually an event in Scranton, PA, for the anniversary of when Kevin spills his world-famous chili. Look it up.

Anyways, here are 10 quotes from The Office that are still hilarious today.

Continue scrolling to keep reading

10 When She Said That

“That’s what she said.” Michael Scott, various occasions.

Though low key misogynistic, sometimes you can’t pass up a good That’s What She Said opportunity. And yes, that includes a girls’ night get-together. You’d be lying if you said you’ve never made a That’s What She Said joke.

The beauty of the joke is that it’s easily applicable to any situation and can usually get a laugh. But we never really remember the exact instances where Michael says it and it’s really a toss-up of whether or not the audience laughs when he does. This one’s become more of a staple in regular conversation than a true quote and that kinda sucks. (That’s what she said.)

9 When Kevin Revealed the Big Mac Theory

“Every time you buy a Big Mac you set one ingredient aside. Then at the end of the week, you have a free Big Mac. And you love it even more because you made it with your own hands.” Kevin Malone (Season 8, Episode 8).

So we all know Kevin isn’t the brightest wonton on the pu-pu platter, but the Big Mac Theory almost makes sense. Almost. Because really, if you set aside a little bit of your Big Mac every time, you would eventually have a whole Big Mac?

Or you could just buy the Big Mac. That’s probably the less expensive option. There’s something inherently funny about the logic behind the theory – or lack of. But better is Robert California’s reaction to realizing that Kevin’s just been talking about food the entire time. This line is much forgotten among the ranks, but even out of context, it’s just funny.

8 When Michael Totally Didn’t Panic

“Oh my God! Ok, it’s happening. Everybody stay calm! Stay [bleep] calm!” Michael Scott (Season 5, Episode 14).

Let’s be real, this is applicable to any life situation. A family member’s going into labor? Something amazing just happened to you or a friend? Something catastrophic happened at work?

Yeah, it’s good for everything. And given that Dwight’s fire drill is one of the best cold opens the show ever had, you’re bound to remind everyone of the hilarity that ensued.

7 When Oscar Became the Fashion Police

“Saddle shoes with denim? I will literally call Protective Services.” Oscar Martinez (Season 9, Episode 22).

We all wish we could be as frank and sassy as Oscar is on any given day, especially when talking about other people’s children. Seriously, we all see those poor, unfortunate young souls committing the worst of fashion crimes because of their parents. Is that not grounds enough for Protective Services? At the very least, we could make the argument for a fashion intervention.

Also, Oscar’s totally right. Saddle shoes do not go with denim.

6 When Jim Spoke the Truth

“Right now this is just a job. If I advance any higher in this company, then this would be my career. And well, if this were my career I’d have to throw myself in front of a train.” Jim Halpert (Season 1, Episode 3).

We’ve all taken jobs that we don’t like just to get by. Gotta make money somehow! But in some situations, you stay longer than you intended, either because the work perks are good or you’re being paid well. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Jim had ambitions beyond paper selling, so anyone in a similar position can relate.

5 When Your Life is Still Buffering

“It’s like my life is buffering.” Kelly Kapoor (Season 8, Episode 17).

Life gets put on hold sometimes, either from extenuating circumstances or smaller personal hangups. Buffering is the perfect word for it. But the good thing about buffering is with enough time (and a strong enough internet connection), your browser will finish loading whatever it was you wanted. Waiting periods aren’t forever!

advertising

4 When Michael Followed the GPS

“The machine knows!” Michael Scott (Season 4, Episode 4).

Navigating through unfamiliar territory is anxiety-inducing at worst and annoying at best. Thank goodness for Google Maps and Waze! But sometimes, the GPS isn’t always right, as Michael quickly finds out when he takes the directions a little too literally.

Sometimes, human intuition (well, eyesight) is correct! So don’t drive right into a lake when there’s a curve in the road ahead. It’s not healthy to rely so much on technology.

RELATED: The Worst Thing Each Main Character From The Office Has Done

3 When Stanley Laid Down The Law

“Did I stutter?” Stanley Hudson (Season 4, Episode 16).

This entire episode is legendary, but this is the quote-est with the most-est. The way Stanley delivers this line is amazing too, right up there with when he was berating Ryan for going after his daughter (even if it was the other way around, Ryan kind of deserved it).

Just be careful who you say this around. Friends and family? Sure. Your boss? Not everyone has as much chill as Michael Scott. Tread carefully.

advertising

2 When Identity Theft Wasn’t a Joke

“Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!” Dwight Schrute (Season 3, Episode 20).

Dwight is right, identity theft is nothing to mess around with. But impressions of people you know? That’s…not identity theft. That’s just funny. Hopefully. Don’t be mean to people you like.

The classic Schrute overreaction makes this line iconic and it’s so specific that if you were to whip this one out in a crowd, someone would understand the reference. And if they don’t, it’s a funny quote. Someone will laugh.

1 When Michael. Declared. BANKRUPTCY.

“I. Declare. BANKRUPTCY!” Michael Scott (Season 4, Episode 4).

The penultimate Millennial mood. Are you broke and you still have to pay rent and somehow eat? Are you a slave to your student loans? Can’t pay for the most basic of essentials? Declare. BANKRUPTCY.

Ok don’t actually unless you really know what you’re doing, but this is a very good way to vent frustrations. Because like Oscar says, nothing actually happens if all you do is scream it at the top of your lungs.

John Krasinski Says He's Totally In for an 'Office' Reboot!

John Krasinski is definitely not shutting the door on a reboot of The Office!

The 38-year-old actor appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing Monday, when he was asked about a possible revival of the beloved workplace sitcom, given the recent reboots ofRoseanne, Will & Grace and Murphy Brown. Krasinski said he has heard rumblings about a reboot on the internet, but revealed that NBC hasn't contacted him about it.

"Guess who didn't get a call? What does that say?" he joked. "It looks like they are [rebooting The Office], I haven't gotten a call yet."

When asked if he was open to the idea, Krasinski -- who played Jim Halpert for the show's nine-season run -- didn't hesitate.

"Oh my god, are you kidding? I would love to get that gang back together," he said.

Though one member of the cast who is definitely not interested in returning is Steve Carell. Carell, who played the hilarious Michael Scott, spoke to ET last November, when he shut down the possibility.

"I don't want to be a jerk about it, but I think people who like the show originally would want it to come back exactly the way it was, but that could never happen because all the writers would be different, and I just wouldn't want to recreate something that was a very, very specific moment in time," he explained. "I kind of don't want to do it because I love the show so much. I think people would be disappointed, I really do."

Still, other cast members aren't opposed to bringing back their memorable characters. ET also spoke to Melora Hardin, who played Jan Levinson, last month, who said she would be happy to revisit the role.

"I still have so many fans and because of the way things can stream and replay and play again, I sort of have a whole new generation of fans from The Office, so it's really exciting to me," she noted. "If they ask me, I'd love to bring Jan back for whatever, a moment in time. That would be amazing."

I got my grade for “English: Creative Writing” last week, so I can now post the two pieces I had to write for that class :)

I got a 17 (in 20), which makes me so happy!!! This story was my final project, which is a bit longer, got me a 17,50 (in 20), but doesn’t have any of the teacher’s corrections, since I didn’t get to see it. It was inspired by a drabble I had wirtten before - here - I wanted to explore the idea in there, but sure these characters have nothing to do with Lyanna and Robert and their relationship

Here [x], you can find my oral presentation project, which is shorter, and I got 8/10, so YEAH!!!

This follows the relationship between two friends, and how their relationship develops through time...

Friend Gone, Friend Gained

Jonathan stopped at the flower shop around the corner. He looked through the roses – orange, pink or red – and the carnations, but he settled on the white lilies – he wished they had talked about her favorite flowers before; every time, he wondered if these were the right flowers.

Jonathan walked the familiar path, and when he could finally see the cherry blossom tree, he speeded up his pace, knowing he was close. He started noticing the names that by now were so familiar to him, Annabelle Jones on his right, Isaac Goldstein two steps ahead, Jerry Johnson the first on her row, and then finally,

Marya Stevens

1993 – 2017

Beloved daughter and sister

Not friend. Jonathan always felt that ‘friend’ was missing. Marya had been a great one, and not just to him – which was obvious since she had been putting up with him since he was five years old – but to others too. She was always ready to help, either with homework, a ride somewhere, or even if you just needed someone to talk to or laugh with. She had always been a friend to all, so Jonathan couldn’t help but still need her.

“Hi, Marya. I’m sorry I haven’t been here for awhile,” he apologized, just before he took a seat on the ground, next to her, and put the bouquet down as well, lightly touching the stone. “I wanted to call you last night. I had a date; with that guy you thought was cute until he said he didn’t like Nemo. It turns out Brave is his favorite animation movie, and that evens out things. It went okay, it went great actually, but-- but I realized something. Even if a date went amazingly well, and I ended up the night at their house or back at mine, the most exciting thing was telling you about it.” It had been a weird conclusion to come to; and Jonathan couldn’t really figure out the meaning of it – he just knew that last night he couldn’t go up to his date’s apartment when he was invited over. “And it’s strange not being able to tell you what happened and hear you ask stupid questions and make stupid jokes.”

“I still feel that you come here to bother me all the time. But I’ll ask. Did your date have food on his teeth?” Jonathan heard a voice ask – her voice ask – and when he looked up she was sitting on top of her gravestone, with her left leg crossed over her right, and a book opened on her hands, The Tale of Two Cities, if his eyes didn’t fail him. As he looked closer, it was like she was almost not there, the colour of her body and clothes was faded, like a pair of jeans that had gone through the washing machine too many times.

“I’m loosing my mind,” he whispered.

“No, you’re not,” she answered. Marya was still looking down at him, and this time she had a sad smile on her lips. “Do you know that now I have all the time in the world to read?”

He didn’t answer, still confused. But if this was true, maybe Heaven was real for her. She had always complained she would never get the chance to read everything she wanted. When she had been diagnosed, she had made a list of the 100 books to read before dying – he had helped her with the list; when the treatment made her too tired to read, especially in the last few months, he would read to her every time he visited the hospital. She had gotten to her 87th book – A Darker Shade of Magic – but she had never finished it; her parents had buried the book with her, and Jonathan had gotten it sign by friends and family alike.

“I could not finish the book I was reading, since V. E. Schwab is still alive. But I’ve read others, and you need to read Peter and Wendy – mind-blowing, Jonathan, mind-blowing. The story is so much more than what we know from the Disney movie.”

“Jonathan,” someone greeted him, the voice was similar – the same gentle touch but with a lower tone. “How’s our girl today?”

“She’s-- I’ll leave you with her, Mrs Stevens.”

“Thank you,” she said, as Jonathan got up and touched the stone one last time, avoiding Marya’s eyes, as she now sat with the closed book resting on her lap. “She’s in peace,” Marya’s mother whispered, “She’s no longer in pain, remember that.”

“So where are we going?” Marya asked when they were almost out of the cemetery.

“Shouldn’t you stay with your mother?”

“She doesn’t see me,” she answered, and then looked and pulled on her nails, which the real Marya had always done when she was hiding something. Jonathan decided not to pressure her, she would tell him with time.

And time came, after he had gotten used to her showing up unannounced in his apartment. Time came as the definite final credits of Orphan Black rolled down.

“I thought my sister saw me once. Just a glimpse, and then I was invisible again.”

“Why?”

“She needed me that second. She needed me to help her make the right choice, to not do something she would regret the rest of her life.”

“No. Why are you here? And not with her, or your mom, or your dad?

“Because they don’t need me.”

“They love you, Marya.”

“They do, and they always will. But they don’t need me, they miss me, they wish I was there and breathing, but they don’t need me. Their mind has accepted I’m gone.”

“And I haven’t.”

“You need help. You’ve always needed help, since you were a kid, and your shoelaces came apart and you didn’t want to tell the teacher that you didn’t know how to tie them alone.”

“You shouldn’t need to take care of me,” he said, munching on chips.

“It’s not much better up there. I met my mom’s grandmother again. I could barely remember her from when I was little. And then I met her husband, and all the other great-grandparents. And Verne – I actually met Jules Verne. And hanging out with Carrie Fisher was the best, but--” she said, as her excitement died down, and she hugged her legs closer, and then continued speaking, “--being there is not the same as here, I don’t really know anyone, and I should consider myself lucky because that means no one I know has died, but it’s still pretty lonely… Here, it’s not the same as before, but I have you, you take care of me.”

“Come here, Marya,” he said, opening his arms to her, and she lay close enough to him, to seem like they were touching. But they knew that he couldn’t actually feel her; and if she let go, it would become too real that she wasn’t real, because she would just fall right across his body (it had happened once before, and they had never talked about it).

“I miss chips, and coke, and gummy bears, and--” she whispered, closing her eyes, knowing that falling asleep was impossible.

“You can still enjoy the movie,” he promised her. That was true, another unfortunate and inconvenient thing about the after death experience was that the only movies she could watch were the ones where everyone involved was dead, which didn’t give her that many movies to watch.

Marya disappeared when she noticed that Jonathan had fallen asleep, and she went back to the other place, where it was always day and no time passed. There was no sense of time in there, so she didn’t come back down for almost three weeks, and with those Jonathan took the time to try and get back to his real life.

Jonathan’s college friends celebrated way too hard when he said ‘yes’ to going out, which made him think that maybe things weren’t as normal as he thought when it came to how much time he spent with a dead person. Annabelle from his Calculus III class, who he had had a crush on since Calculus I actually asked him out, just before kissing him, and after that group hang out, he went out with her three more times.

On their fourth date, he brought her home. He barely could see anything in front of him, his eyes focused on her face, and on her lips; and then his lips on her lips, which made them barely notice anything around them, either it was the elevator stopping, or that between a few knocks and bumps against the walls, they had made it to the door. Jonathan unlocked it between kisses, ready to take her to his room; but he was stopped on his tracks, when he noticed Marya on the couch, crying, and Annabelle immediately recognized the change in his attitude.

“Is there something wrong, Jon?”

“I can’t do this,” he said, eyeing Marya. And before Annabelle could protest, she was out the door. Jonathan tried to hold Marya and offer some comfort, which was hard when he wasn’t able to touch her or offer her her favorite chocolate, a Nestle Chunky one.

He didn’t really date much after that. He went out, with men and women, but none could ever last more than a month; until 2019, and he was on his third month dating Cassandra.

Marya had stopped appearing as often, and she was mad when she did, requesting more time – time he couldn’t give her. She wasn’t real, and Cassie was (all the others had been too, Marya had argued) but Cassie was also fun, she honestly laughed at his jokes like Marya had done since they were kids, and she was smart and they liked the same things, eating pineapple and jalapenos peppers pizza while binge-watching entire seasons of comedy shows, from Galavant to Scrubs.

In the moment, they watched for their third time Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly get engaged, on their computer as they lay in bed, Jonathan knew he loved Cassie, and he needed to stop making excuses, and lying to her – he needed to move on, and for that he needed to say goodbye to Marya.

“Why?!” Marya yelled, with tears running down her cheeks, and Jonathan felt every instinct on his body asking him to take back everything he had just said.

“Because I don’t need you, I love you, but I don’t need you anymore… I can tie my own shoelaces,” he promised her. “And you’re dead, you should stay that way. You probably shouldn’t even be here,” Jonathan said, trying to rationalize this. “Dead and living shouldn’t mix.”

“You never complained before.”

“I can’t be here for you and for Cassie at the same time. And Cassie is real, Marya,” he whispered this time. “She’s real, and I need to give this relationship a real fighting chance.” Marya loved him, and he loved her back and he always would. But they both knew what was best for him, and what she needed to do. So she disappeared.

When Jonathan died, leaving behind his wife, children and grandchildren, Marya was there to welcome him. She looked 23, and he looked 86, and he hadn’t seen her or heard her voice for more than half a century; but then Marya smiled, and it was the same as ever, like no time had passed, she was his childhood best friend after all.

Defenders Sassy Recap: 1x01 The H-Word

And by sassy recap, I really mean garbled fangirl thoughts.

YASSS I am so excited even though I'ma tell you right now, I don't give a diddly damn about Danny Rand. I had about five seconds (one episode actually) of his mansplaining and I was too done for words. SO bear that in mind if you’re a Rand fan.

Cambodia.

IS THIS COLLEEN WING?? She was the only thing I liked from Iron Fist. (I didn't even get to the Claire Temple part) (aggrieved)

oohhhh look it's Daniel Rand. Boi I hope you've tamed your fake chi a little.

I do love a good rain fight.

A MAN HAS BEEN KILLED. WHO IS HE

There's Colleen. They're fighting together I see.

Danny looks ever so slightly more serious, so that's good. *Jim Halpert as Dwight voice* "'sbetter."

OOH THE IRON FIST COMES OUT TO PLAYYY

He turns, he runs, etc., he and Colleen are trying to save this dude...

"MY NAME IS DANNY. I'M HUNTING MEMBERS OF THE HAND." Ok this is giving me major Taran of Caer Dallben, Assistant Pigkeeper vibes. #lloydalexander

THe dying man tells them to go back to NEw York. THEN HE DIE.

OPENING CREDITS BOIIII

STARRING CHARLIE COX

SIGN ME UP

I'M HERE FOR MY BAES

AND BY BAES I MEAN PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE EXCEPT DANNY

JESSICA??? IN A BAR. MY FAVE. AND TRISH??? ALSO MY FAVE??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA JESSICA SAVING HER CAR FROM IMPOUNDMENT. I BLESS

I am sooooo here for Jessica and Trish and their friendship. I HAVE MISSED MY GIRLS DRINKING THEIR COFFEE TOGETHER. JESSICA'S HAS WHISKEY IN IT. MY ALCOHOLIC LOVE

LUKE NO

LUKE IS IN PRISON I FORGOT ABOUT THIS

But he's getting out like a total badass, not playin' with those prison guards let me tell youuuu...LITERALLY breaking out of handcuffs

It's FOGGY. Foggy better be as pure as ever. ALSO BOBBY FISH was mentioned. BOBBY FISH IS MY ETERNAL FAVE. #movingforward "People call me Foggy." "You let them?" -LUKE, THE SASSMASTER

MATTHEW JUST SHOWED UP AND I SCREAMEDDDD

HE IS DICTATING TO A TYPEWRITER

MY BELOVED SON

MY CHILD

Is he not being Daredevil anymore? MY SON

HE IS IN THE COURTROOM I WANT TO HAVE HIS CHILDREN

Watching him navigate the courtroom and take a witness to TASK is giving me so many lawyer feels

Who is Aaron James? A child who has been injured? AND JUST GOT A VERDICT?? That kid is kind of adorable I hope he continues in this show because MATT IS GIVING HIM A PEP TALK AND IT'S GIVING ME A LOT OF FEELS "No one can give you your life back, Aaron. You have to take it back." MATTHEW YOU ARE BEING FATHERLY

And then Karen shows up and asks him out to eat and I...don't ship it so I'm glad they're getting along but I need everyone to chill?

Meanwhile Danny Rand is #suffering I guess but he's also on his family jet so *shrug*

Does he have a psychic sense? Where is he? I thought he was on the plane? No apparently he's dream-visiting Khun Lun and seeing that everyone has been murdered THEN HE MANSPLAINS TO HIMSELF LOL

I'm sorry if you're a Danny fan, I am really being needlessly roasty but also life is too short not to be judgy af when I want to on the ground of only one episode.

So apparently Colleen worked for the Hand. She also has great eyebrows. "What do they want in New York?" Danny asks. I mean...I assume world domination?

SIGOURNEYYYYY witha fly af coat on omg. What's happening? Is she sick? SHE IS DYING. When people are dying and are also supervillains they usually seek out crazy medical treatments so I'm going to guess that's what's about to happen.

My girl Jessica is in elevator, swearing up a storm, just like I like her.

And now some woman and a mini Jessica want to know where a husband is? Interesting? She turns down the case because she legit doesn't give a sh*t but then she gets a mysterious phone call warning her not to get involved so I think we all know what she's going to do.

Now Luke is returning home--and I absolutely love how they're incorporating the respective theme colors into the lighting, scenery, etc.

CLAIRE TEMPLEEEEEE

Although I only ship Claire and Luke a little bit? Clairedevil forever? But mostly I just want Claire to be happy?

Apparently Harlem is still up to shenanigans under Mariah.

Claire is so supportive and I love her and SOMEONE IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR WHO CAN IT BE

OMG IT'S MISTY AND DID SHE JUST WALK IN ON SOMETHING AWKWARD OR WHAT

Awkward Karen-Matt convo because...what exactly has transpired since the Daredevil reveal? HE'S NOT DOING IT ANYMORE AND SAYING HE DOESN'T MISS IT AND WE ALL KNOW YOU LYIN' BOI

IT'S MALCOLM MY ABSOLUTE FAVE AND HE'S DOING OK RIGHT NOW AND DO I MAYBE SHIP THEM? HE IS CUTE AF AND SO DELIGHTFULLLL

And he is helping her solve cases? I support it.

Luke and Misty catching up, planning coups. #bless Also Misty has a great leather jacket. There's some kind of ring involving young people going on, and Luke's going to take it on. OF COURSE HE IS.

MATT'S GOING TO CONFESSION EVERY THREE DAYS?? BOIIIII also he admits that he misses the lifeee. Of course you do, Matthew. My Catholic lawyer ninja sad son is so beautiful and it HURTS. AND HE MISSES ELEKTRA. GO FIGURE I ONLY WROTE LIKE TEN FANFICS ABOUT YOUR UNDYING LOVE. "Purgatory is a place for the dead, Matthew, not the living." <<FATHER LANTOM WHAT A QUOTE.

Sigourney Weaver is feeding pigeons and staring at the skyline. Which is all well and good until her old friend Madame Gao shows up. They're plotting something nefarious and for obvious reasons Sigourney is moving the plan up. She has great ice-queen delivery and I'm already living for the vibe of this show.

Luke Cage gently intimidating youths is my AESTHETIC. He's visiting the last surviving kid on the family of Sean (murdered this time around) and Candace (murdered in Luke Cage). SO OF COURSE THIS POOR CHILD IS PROBABLY GOING TO DIE TOO. Luke offers his help and of course this child turns it down. I missed his name tho. LET LUKE BE YOUR FATHER FIGURE HE'S A GOOD ONE.

Meanwhile, Jessica is investigating and wearing the same jeans as always and I LOVE HER. She breaks into the room of the supposed missing husband John Raymond...and finds a huge number of explosives.

Sigourney Weaver is wearing a sequined poncho and drinking tea. #a vibe

Back to Danny and Colleen, now in a helicopter. His combination of earnestness and zen is I think what is getting to me.

BUt AT LEAST WE RETURN IN SHORT ORDER TO MY SON, MATT MURDOCK, who has beer and OJ in his fridge, AND THEN...an earthquake starts? WHAT THE HECK Y'ALL

WHAT IS HAPPENING

PONCHO-WEARING SIGOURNEY LOOKS PLEASED

AND SHE HAS ELEKTRAAAA OMG OMG OMG OMG

THE PARALLELISM WE END WITH MATT HAVING THE WORLD SPIN AROUND HIM JUST LIKE WITH DAREDEVIL EPISODE 1

I AM SHOOK AND SO READY

The 65 absolute best moments from 'The Office'

Fact: The Office is now and will always be one of the greatest television shows of all time.

The NBC comedy, which debuted in 2005, followed the extraordinarily amusing lives of Michael Scott, Jim Halpert, Pam Beesley, and other employees at Dunder Mifflin Scranton. And even though The Office has been off the air since 2013, fans have yet to stop obsessing over the nine glorious seasons.

While everyone impatiently awaits a possible revival, which John Krasinski already has planned, we figured it'd be wise to take a look back and cherish some of The Office's best moments.

SEE ALSO: 'The Office' hasn’t been revived yet, but at least we have Angela’s YouTube channel

From entire episodes like "Dinner Party," to small but hilariously written and acted cold opens — like the time Kevin spilled his chili — here's a comprehensive list of 65 best moments from The Office.

1. The Dundies

Nothing beats your first Dundies! So let's kick this list off by taking a trip back to Chilli's to see Michael in his prime as a host and Jim and Pam share their first real kiss. 👀

youtube

2. Dwight blasting "Everybody Hurts" in his car

In Season 2, episode 4 — "The Fire" — Dwight gets jealous of Michael's budding relationship with new temp Ryan Howard. After a fire alarm causes Dunder Mifflin employees to evacuate to the parking lot, he's seen hardcore brooding in the car. Dwight, windows down, slumped in the driver's seat, blasting "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M., will forever be one of the Biggest Moods out there.

youtube

3. "Ryan Started the Fire"

Another equally gorgeous moment in "The Fire," occurs when Dwight bounces back from his brooding to belt a parody of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire."

After learning the beloved temp Ryan accidentally started the fire in the office by leaving his cheese pita in the toaster oven (set to "oven" instead of "toaster"), Dwight sings "Ryan Started the Fire" while waving the charred cheese pita in the air.

youtube

4. Jim and Pam having a roof date AND sharing headphones

In "The Client," (Season 2, episode 7) Jim and Pam spend the night sitting in lawn chairs on the roof while watching Dwight set off fireworks. Jim makes his "famous" grilled cheese sandwiches and Pam brings drinks and a freaking candle. Then later, before saying goodbye, they SHARE HEADPHONES, which is such an important moment that Mashable.com already mentions it in two other articles. Has there ever been a more wholesome 1:14 of television?

5. "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration"

In the eight seasons since the world finally met the love of Phyllis' life, Bob Vance, we've had the pleasure of listening to him introduce himself many many times. Nothing, however, will ever beat the first.

6. The teapot

As Season 2's stressful holiday party comes to an end, Jim's thoughtful Secret Santa gift finally makes its way to the intended recipient, Pam. Jim (clearly smitten to hell) gets her a tea pot she wanted but FILLS IT WITH BONUS GIFTS, including several cute and sentimental inside jokes like hot sauce packets, a mini golf pencil, and his dorky high school yearbook photo. Swoon city!

7. Jim's "Booze Cruise" confession

Season 2, episode 11 aka "Booze Cruise" is a doozy. In a touching scene on the boat, Jim finally reveals his feelings for Pam to Michael. Surprisingly, Michael replies with some truly inspiring advice.

youtube

8. Michael's grilled foot

Season 2, episode 12's "The Injury" is one of the greatest The Office moments. Michael burns his foot by stepping on a George Foreman grill, which he places on his bedroom floor because he likes to wake up to the smell of bacon. Understandable. It's a beautiful, overdramatic episode filled with crutches, Country Crock, and Michael trying to shove his foot into Dwight's MRI machine.

youtube

9. Pam's voicemails

"The Carpet" (Season 2, episode 14) starts super gross and ends super sweet. Jim's feeling a bit sad after being isolated from Pam all day due to a temporary desk switch, but when he checks his voicemail before leaving for the day he finds he's a bunch of messages from her! Aww. Luv.

10. When Ryan hooked up with Kelly but didn't check the date

In Season 2, episode 16, after finally hooking up with Kelly Kapoor on Valentine's Day eve, Ryan Howard utters perhaps his most iconic line in the series.

11. Dwight's bobblehead

Unlike Ryan, Dwight had a great Valentine's Day, because a secret admirer *cough* Angela *cough* gave him a bobblehead doll of himself. Watch as Dwight experiences true joy.

12. Jim gets jinxed

In Season 2, episode 20 — "Drug Testing" — Pam jinxes Jim for the entire day and really makes the most of it. After poking a little too much fun at him, however, she goes out and buys a Coke so he can purchase it from her and un-jinx himself.

youtube

13. Dwight "Honorary Security Advisor" K. Schrute

In "Drug Testing," a guilty Michael also has Dwight inducted as "Honorary Security Advisor" of Dunder Mifflin Scranton. Hugh Dane, who played Hank the security guard, did the honors, and when the actor recently died Rainn Wilson shared the scene on social media.

RIP Hugh Dane, aka Hank the security guard. He was one of the greats. So kind, funny, talented. We will all miss him. Donations can be made in his name to: https://t.co/z1SAqamWMM pic.twitter.com/ysevEZKOjy

14. "Casino Night" confession

Hello, yes. You knew Jim's parking lot declaration of love was going to be on this list. We finally get to see Jim tell Pam his true feelings and it's SO MUCH. When John Krasinski says, "I just needed you to know... once," and "I'm sorry I misinterpreted our friendship," who on this planet did not die? Not to mention, THE KISS. WHAT A KISS.

youtube

15. Michael walking down to "the warehouse"

"Grief Counseling" (Season 3, episode 4) begins with a hilarious and underrated cold open in which Michael pretends to walk down the stairs to the warehouse. The ultimate dad joke.

16. Good Grief counseling

Later in the episode, Michael leads a grief counseling session where the Dunder Mifflin employees tell stories about losing loved ones. Turns out, they're actually just death scenes from movies.

youtube

17. The bird funeral

Wow, "Grief Counseling" again! Great episode. Gotta love this bird funeral complete with moving speeches, Pam singing, and Dwight playing his recorder. RIP BIRD.

youtube

18. Stanley on Pretzel Day

If you want to see Stanley Hudson shine, look no further than "Initiation" (Season 3, episode 5,) where the man gets to indulge in his annual free pretzel.

youtube

19. The phone call

Jim hasn't spoken to Pam since he transferred to the Stamford branch, but in Season 3, episode 5, the two accidentally share a phone call and pick up right where they left off. They talk about Michael, how many words per minute they type, and Pam confusing 28 Days with 28 Days Later. Romantic shit, people!

20. Phyllis' ultimate burn

After Stamford-turned-Scranton employee Karen Filippelli reveals she's allergic to her new desk mate Phyllis' perfume, Phyllis delivers this scathing hot burn: "Bob Vance bought this perfume for me in Metropolitan Orlando. It's made from real pine."

youtube

21. "Lazy Scranton"

Michael and Dwight present "Lazy Scranton," a parody of Saturday Night Live's "Lazy Sunday," to get everyone pumped about working in The Electric City post-merger.

youtube

22. Prison Mike

After someone claims prison would be nicer than working at Dunder Mifflin, Michael Scott introduces the staff to Prison Mike — one of his many alter egos. In "The Convict," Prison Mike memorably explains the worst thing about prison... the dementors.

youtube

23. Angela's karaoke debut

Angela rarely comes out of her shell, but in "A Benihana Christmas," she makes the office floor her stage and sings a very tame rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy."

24. The ceiling prank

Although it ended in Andy punching a hole in the wall in a fit of rage and being forced to attend anger management classes, the prank where Jim put Andy's phone in the ceiling tiles was quite fun.

youtube

25. The missing key

Behold: The Season 3, episode 17 cold open in which Michael unsuccessfully attempts to escape from a straight jacket.

26. Creed eating a potato

"Safety Training" (Season 3, episode 20) is an utterly delightful episode. The Scranton office gets into placing bets against each other, one of which is whether or not Creed will notice if his apple is replaced with a potato. Spoiler alert: He doesn't.

youtube

27. "Lord beer me strength"

Jim puts his own fun spin on Andy's famous saying in "Product Recall" (Season 3, episode 21). It gets a laugh, like a quarter of the time.

28. Mall day

Sometimes you just need a day with the girls to figure your life out. Michael learns this in the "Women's Appreciation" episode, when he takes the ladies of Dunder Mifflin to the mall. They hit the food court, give him some much-needed advice about his relationship with Jan, and then he takes them on a shopping spree to Victoria's Secret. Not inappropriate at all.

youtube

29. Andy floating away

In "Beach Games" — episode 23 of the third season — Angela tries to sabotage the games (so Dwight will win) by letting Andy drift away in the lake while wearing an inflatable sumo wrestling suit. Andy repeatedly asks her to go get help. She doesn't.

30. The yogurt lid

During "The Job," Jim's mid-interview with David Wallace when he discovers a sweet note and a gold medal yogurt lid from the "Office Olympics" episode. Pam hides them to encourage Jim, and they inspire him to return to Scranton and ask Pam on a date. One ticket back to swoon city, please!

youtube

31. Michael hitting Meredith with his car

Season 4, episode 1 starts with a bang, and that bang is the sound of Michael hitting Meredith with his car. Later, Michael holds a Fun Run to raise money for rabies awareness, carbo loads, and throws up fettuccine alfredo, saying, "While I eventually puked my guts out, I never puked my heart out." The best.

youtube

32. The DVD logo

In the thrilling cold open of "Launch Party" (Season 4, episode 3,) the staff watches on the edge of their seats, waiting for the DVD logo on the TV screensaver to hit the corner of the screen. When it finally does, they cheer, and Michael assumes it's because of him.

youtube

33. Devil Wears Prada day

In "Money," the seventh episode of Season 4, it's very clear Michael's obsessed with Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada.

34. Dwight's bed and breakfast

This is also the episode in which Jim and Pam stay at Dwight's family farm turned bed and breakfast. If you recall Dwight READS THEM A BED TIME STORY from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

youtube

35. Michael driving into Lake Scranton

If there's one thing we learned from Season 4, episode 3 of The Office, it's that your GPS is not always correct.

youtube

36. The entire "Dinner Party" episode

It's impossible to choose just one best moment from "Dinner Party." The Season 4 episode gives viewers a rare and hilarious AF glimpse at Michael and Jan's home life — complete with bizarre sleeping arrangements, a tiny plasma television, and a catchy AF single. Even the cast loved this episode.

youtube

37. Michael singing "Goodbye Toby"

"Goodbye Toby" was the episode Michael dreamed of since the series began. Toby's headed to Costa Rica but not before a parking lot party, a proposal, and Michael's rendition of "Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp.

youtube

38. Jim proposing to Pam

It might not seem like the most romantic setting, but Jim's spontaneous gas station in the rain proposal is one for the books.

youtube

39. Dwight's fire drill

One of the greatest cold opens of all time is in the Season 5 episode, "Stress Relief," when Dwight starts a fire to teach the office about fire safety. Chaos ensues, Angela throws her cat through the ceiling, and Stanley straight-up has a heart attack. #SaveBandit

youtube

40. CPR training

Michael also attempts to perform CPR on a model in the two-part "Stress Relief" episode, but the office winds up singing "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees instead. A truly glorious moment where Kelly dances like all of us.

youtube

41. The roast of Michael Scott

In "Stress Relief," Michael decides to hold a roast for himself — which is, of course, hilarious — but the real laughs come near the end of the episode when he fires back at his employees. Michael goes around the office flawlessly burning each of his coworkers, declaring, "BOOM, ROASTED," when he's finished. It's so funny even Stanley LOLs.

41. Kevin tragically spills chili

RIP Kevin's homemade chili. You lived a good, extremely short life, appearing only briefly in "Casual Friday" (Season 5, episode 26).

youtube

42. Phyllis' hug selling for $1,000

Dunder Mifflin's holding an auction to raise money after the office was robbed and the highest bid just so happens to be for a freakin' hug from Phyllis. After an intense bidding war, Dwight surrenders to Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.

43. Andy trapping Dwight

It's a duel for Angela's love and Andy's not holding back. He tapes a note to some bushes to lure Dwight, then stealthily drives up behind him in his silent Toyota Prius at about 1mph and traps him. An impressive feat.

44. Kelly's Hillary Swank freak out

In "Prince Family Paper," the thirteenth episode of Season 5, the office tries to decide whether or not Hilary Swank is "hot." When the group is unable to reach an agreement, Kelly has very relatable outburst in which she realizes that if people don't think Hilary Swank is hot they must not think she's hot either, and storms out of the room.

45. Soup snakes

"Company Picnic" (Season 5, episode 28) is a special one. The Dunder Mifflin branches come together to compete in a series of challenges, but amidst the chaos Michael admits he and Holly are "soup snakes" (mispronouncing "soul mates").

Cute Fact: Mindy Kaling used the term "soup snakes" to describe her IRL relationship with B.J. Novak. ~ swoon city, bitch ~

youtube

46. Pam's pregnant

"Company Picnic" is also the episode in which Jim and Pam learn she's pregnant. GRAB THE TISSUES!

youtube

48. Jim's wardrobe adjustment

Another two-part episode, "Niagara," shows the highly anticipated wedding of Jim and Pam. But right before the two are about to head into the church Pam's veil tears. Jim's response? Cutting his tie in half.

49. Embarrassing 4ever

And what would Jim and Pam's wedding be without their friends recreating a viral video and dancing down the aisle to Chris Brown's "Forever" despite being asked not to?

50. Michael joins the Mafia

In the sixth episode of Season 6 of The Office, Dwight and Andy convince Michael that an insurance salesman interested in working with Dunder Mifflin is a member of the mafia. They go to out to lunch, say "gabagool" a lot, and Michael orders a salad ON THE SIDE.

51. The Lip Dub

Season 7 of the show begins with the Dunder Mifflin crew attempting to go viral by recording a lip dub of The Human Beinz's song, "Nobody but Me." Just watch.

youtube

52. Dwight doing Pretty Woman

In "Counseling," (Season 7, episode 2), Dwight pulls a "Pretty Woman" and returns to a store in the mall that refused to serve him. Turns out, the employees were simply terrified of his beet juice-stained hands, which looked bloody. He makes amends, but still manages to deliver the iconic Julia Roberts line.

53. The happy and sad boxes

In the "Ultimatum" episode, Erin helps Michael prep for potentially good or bad news regarding Holly. They create two boxes, one filled with happy things, and one with sad things. A truly brilliant method of dealing with news and we should all take note.

youtube

54. Creed attempting a cartwheel

Ah, watching Creed thinking he achieved his goal of successfully doing a cartwheel in Season 7, episode 13, is one of the most simple joys out there.

youtube

55. Threat Level Midnight

In Season 7, episode 7, after more than 10 years of hard work and preparation, Michael screens his action movie: Threat Level Midnight.

youtube

56. Kelly explains text message subtext

Kelly gets REAL when it comes to analyzing Darryl's texts to Val from the warehouse in Season 8, episode 16, and we could all use her wisdom in our lives. Five dots, Darryl??? Are you kidding me?

youtube

57. Michael proposes to Holly

You will cry so many tears watching Michael propose to Holly in episode 19 of Season 7 that it'll look like a sprinkler system went off.

youtube

58. "Seasons of Love"

In Michael's second-to-last episode and final Dudies ceremony, the office honors him with a beautiful rendition of "Seasons of Love" from Rent.

youtube

59. Goodbye, Michael

Episode 22 of Season 7 requires a big old box of tissues. Michael's leaving a day earlier than he told everyone and says heartfelt goodbyes to all his co-workers except Pam. Luckily, Jim catches on and drives Pam to meet Michael at the airport before his flight takes off.

youtube

60. Daryl's daughter classing up Christmas

Daryll's daughter Jada singlehandedly saves "Classy Christmas" — perhaps the worst holiday party to ever hit the office — by joyously handing out vending machine snacks to everyone. So wholesome, ugh.

61. Ryan's final declaration of love

Scared of losing Kelly to a successful doctor, Ryan pulls out the big guns and declares his love with the help of poetry and a horse.

youtube

62. Asian Jim

From sticking belongings in Jell-O and making mega desks, to tampering with vending machines and more, Jim's played some great pranks on Dwight over the years, but Asian Jim was a next-level effort.

youtube

63. Darryl's farewell dance

The office busts a move to bid Darryl farewell in Season 9's "A.A.R.M" episode, though it's Oscar who really steals the show.

64. The Note

Remember THE TEAPOT? Well, at the last minute Jim hid the card to Pam he'd included in the box, and gives it to her years later (along with a DVD of highlights from their relationship) to save their marriage.

Jenna Fischer still has the note, too!

Awwww...Cleaning out my desk and I just found Pam's teapot note. #swoon

— Jenna Fischer (@jennafischer) October 24, 2013

65. Michael returns for Dwight's wedding

MICHAEL RETURNS for his BFF's wedding to Angela, because what would this wedding be without one last "that's what she said" joke? If the series had to come to an end, the only way we'd want to do it is with the whole gang back together again. It's emotional AF, but "Finale" does a good job of wrapping up this brilliant journey.

youtube

To catch more best moments from Michael, Jim, Creed, Kelly, Angela, Kevin, and the your favorite paper salespeople, you can re-watch the series on Netflix. And who knows, maybe one day we'll get that revival.
