Favourite Quote From All Seasons

I finished the office a long time ago & no matter how hard I try to get into another show, nothing compares to this one!

What’s your favourite line from s1-9?

One that will always be special to me is,

“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”

Unpopular opinion: Karen &gt;&gt; Pam

Both of these women are amazing in there own way but I feel that the hate towards Karen is kinda forced ngl. Like she did literally nothing wrong....she is smart and beautiful and it was Jim's fault for leading her on while he was himself still hung over Pam and making her choose Scranton.

And about Pam, when I watched the show again it just felt like Jim and Pam's entire relationship was based on cheating and Jim did literally everything while Pam was just there because she is pretty and flirted with him a few times. Basically what I'm saying is, Jim and Pam's relationship didn't really feel 50-50. And Michael and Holly are SUCH a better couple than Jim and Pam!!

I might be missing a few things as it's been months since I finished the show(currently watching B99) but share your thoughts!

Is there a reference to a Batman keychain in this show?

My brother got me some fake props from the office and the box had a Batman keychain in it, I feel like I vaguely remember? But I could just be thinking of the 4 leaf clover keychain from yankee swap?

Anyone know?

The ending of "Whistleblower" really pissed me off

This ending alone is all the evidence you need to know that the writers absolutely HATED Andy and that he was clearly their least favorite character to write for.

They really couldn't have picked a different character to be revealed as the person who leaked the story about the printers to the press? Why did it have to be Andy? They should've had it be someone like Dwight, Jim, Kevin, Darryl, etc. I feel like they chose Andy just so they could torment his character more.

There's a story going around that the writers were apparently very jealous of all the fame and recognition that Ed Helms had received after the success of The Hangover back in 2009 and this led to them deciding to make Andy the show's punching bag as a way to let out that anger and jealousy. This ending scene felt like the writers excuse to vent out everything to Ed without him knowing. Andy technically did the right thing by warning the public about the printers catching on fire. Yet, everyone treated him like he committed a terrorist act or something. They called him these cruel insults, hid his bag in the ceiling, etc. At one point, Kevin even tells him that he's the worst human being ever. That line alone felt like the writers own way of secretly saying "Fuck you Ed. Go to hell for being able to make a name for yourself without needing our help."

Anyone else find it funny how Andy (Drew) pretended the macing incident never happened?

I just thought of this as I watched both episodes the other day. He goes in and gets maced by Dwight at the end of the previous episode. Then he comes back next episode walking around and reintroducing himself as if that incident ever happened between him and Dwight.

Maybe he thought he had it coming after what he previously did to Dwight? Maybe the anger management just worked out that well? Kind of a hilarious dynamic once you think about it. 😂

Kevin's Computer and All the Bad Stuff He Had Stored.

I'm rewatching the extended Superfan cuts of the show. In S2 Ep9 'Mail Surveillance' Michael can see their emails and such. I actually paused and got a good look at the list of items Kevin was deleting from his work computer. I was laughing my bum off when I saw his l list. I even took a screen shot to share. He really likes Nurses, Vixens, and babysitters... But he also enjoys.. monkeys??? 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ Then the random "When Harry Met Sally" is in there. Be warned, it is cringeworthy LOLLLL! 😂

This combination of letters will forever trigger that line in my brain. Anyone else?
