2) No spam/Low-effort posts

Keep posts directly related to TV show "The Office". Low effort posts will be removed, for examples and more info, click here. Memes/images from social media will also likely be removed as they're 99% reposts.

3) No piracy

Don't link to or request episodes hosted illegally online. This includes streams, torrents, cloud-hosted files, etc.

4) No politics

No posts related to politics. They always result in uncivil discussion and aren't welcome here. This includes posts mentioning/comparing something or someone from the show to a political figure, or anything you saw at a protest/strike/rally.

5) No cake-day posts/asking for karma

Cake day posts are forbidden unless they are high-effort OC.

7) Self-Promotion

The promotion of products or services whose sale benefits you, either directly or indirectly, is forbidden.

8) No Merchandise

Posts that are about items of merchandise ("look at this cool shirt", "I found this board game", "I made Cards Against The Office") are prohibited without prior mod approval.

9) No New Spoilers

Actors from The Office may feature in new media and franchises. Though it may be tempting to discuss their new roles, feeling like this is a safe community to do so: it isn't. This subreddit is for The Office only. If you make a post or comment that spoils new content (within reason, like for a major franchise) in other "cinematic universes", the post will be removed, and you may receive a ban.

Learn your rules

Guidelines:

Reposts

Please do not repost. Frequent reposts will be removed, please search the sub before posting.

Recent reposts will also be removed. If you're posting a recent tweet/article/headline, it's probably already been submitted.

Stay relevant

Make sure your whole post is relevant to the show, not just the title or image. If you have to give it a The Office title to make it relevant, it's not worth posting.

Is your post low effort?

The following types of posts are low effort and will be removed:

  • Pictures of your TV screen (especially "are you still watching" netflix screens)
  • Photos of small wall-mounted TV screens
  • AI-generated scripts, scenes, quotes, etc.
  • Actors in other TV shows
  • IRL sightings of names related to the show.
  • George Foreman grills
  • Photos of Randall Park (Asian Jim) making a joke about how it's actually Jim
  • Screenshots of the show with nothing else added to them
  • Any post with an especially shitty title

Jim is weird for opening up the door to a kids bathroom

The guy using a children’s toilet is weird, but so is a random guy exploring a daycare opening the door to a kids bathroom. Prove me wrong.

Favorite moment of Michael being honest? I can’t narrow it down.

Sometimes he’s just so comedically candid and I love it.

Jim's "doctor's appointment in the city"

Just a random curiosity...at the end of "Conflict Resolution" we hear Jim leaving a voicemail for Pam saying he'll be in late the next day because he has a "doctor's appointment in the city" (although we see he is really interviewing for the Stamford job at corporate). Does "the city" here refer to (a) Scranton, (b) Philadelphia, or (c) New York City? Both (b) and (c) seem like they would indicate something fairly major going on medically, which Pam would probably follow up on. But on the other hand, I can't imagine anybody referring to Scranton as "the city".

Season 7 Episode 4 Superfan episode

Interesting little side story where Pam and Jim are clearly fighting. You see Pam start to loosen up when Jim can't open the fluff jar (I cracked up when he hands it back to Kelly and she goes "you're just going to hand that back to me?" 🤣). And then Jim seems to smooth things over when he slaps her ass in the parking lot, although she looks pissed at first. Any guesses what they might have been fighting about? I know they never say I'm just curious what you all think 🤔

Was getting the mural gig really more important than Cece's 1st dance recital?

Pam literally wasn't even paying attention. As if they wouldn't have given her the job if she didn't immediately pick up the phone. It still bugs me to this day that she took that call

It's Possible That Gil Was Indirectly Responsible for Jim and Pam Getting Together

In Season 3 Episode 17 Oscar and Gil go to Pam's art show and Pam overhears Gil say that real art takes honesty. In subsequent episodes Pam makes a point of being more honest and forthright with others. This leads to her telling Roy about Jim kissing her. This leads to Roy attacking Jim and the Pam breaking up with Roy. Had Pam not overheard Gil saying this, she may have stayed with Roy and never connected with Jim. Good job Gil!

Fundle Bundles

Michael Scott mentioned that he was on a show called “Fundle Bundle” hosted by Miss Trudy. This referenced an actual show broadcasted in NE Pennsylvania in the 1970s called “Hatchy Milatchy” hosted by Miss Judy on WNEP Channel 16, an ABC affiliate.

Robert's Winners/Losers List

Considering RC had only just met the employees, his list was pretty spot on:

Winners: Jim, Dwight, Oscar, Darryl, Toby, Phyllis, Angela, and Kevin Losers: Stanley, Gabe, Kelly, Ryan, Creed (Old Man), Pam, Meredith, and Erin.

Toby wisely removed himself from the winner's list, RC correctly moved Andy to the losers list, and the only changes I would make would be moving Stanley over to the winners and Kevin and Phyllis to the losers. Otherwise, spot on. Nice job, RC!

Why did Stanley admit to having an affair?

In S6:E1 Gossip, Michael discovers that Stanley is having an affair. He stops Stanley’s car asking him if he’s having an affair, to which Stanley denies. He’s gets in the car with Stanley, asks him again, Stanley denies again, and Michael says “he knew it!” and believed it was racial profiling. But AFTER Michael says that, Stanley admits that he did indeed have an affair?! WHY?

He could’ve just left it alone uno…

Question about the basketball game and working Saturday

What job or task had to be completed where either the office staff or the warehouse would have to come in, but not the other? Why would corporate want overtime for the sake of overtime? From S1E5

Girls Gone Wild

Was watching the episode that features this song and found the actual high quality version by the artist Captain Ahab. The popular one is 240p low bitrate so here’s the good one.

Where did they work before coming to Dunder Mifflin?

We have a rough idea of each characters age, as it's mentioned during the show. Where do you think the characters worked before making a splash in the paper biz?

We know that Michael worked for Men's Warehouse at some point.

Erin (Kelly) worked at Taco Bell Express.

Toby was going to be a priest, but he met his future wife and took the first job he could find in HR.

But, there is very little info about the other characters. We also know some were hired by Ed Truck (Creed, Phylis). But what about Stanley or Oscar? Angela mentions working in Ohio. Do we assume she was an accountant. We know Kevin applied to work in the warehouse, but Michael thought he'd make a good accountant.

How could Andy interview Dwight for Cornell??

I was watching S5E6: Employee Transfer, where Dwight was applying for Cornell. Andy was so pissed and somehow managed to become the interviewer for Dwight.

What I don't understand is how could Andy as an alumni become a college interviewer with just one phone call? I am not from the US so forgive me if I don't understand how American college application works, thanks for explaining!
