It’s like NBC was reading our minds when it posted this classic clip from The Office today. You probably know it. In one of his infamous pranks on Dwight, Jim … became Dwight.
We’re not sure what’s funnier:
That Dwight refers to this as “identity theft.”
That Jim’s asks him what type of bear is best.
That Rainn Wilson’s character is so believable and John Krasinski’s impression so spot on that you swear you’re watching real people.
In response to a question of whether Pam Beesly is pregnant on The Office - the last scene of the season finale certainly seemed to suggest as much - Ed Helms (Andy Bernard) would not confirm nor deny it, and wonders if a bait and switch is at hand.
“I don’t know exactly what’s going on there,” he told EW over the weekend at the MTV Movie Awards. “There was an ambiguous hospital scene; that’s about all I know.”
The fifth season of NBC’s The Office featured some acclaimed guest stars (Idris Elba, Amy Ryan), a post-Super Bowl extravaganza and more hilarious quotes than we can possibly list on one website. Ohhh, wait, that’s not true, we’ve got the biggest collection anywhere!
Below are some of our favorite lines from this season. Be sure to check out our library of The Office quotes for the best quotes from EVERY episode of the show to date!
David Wallace: [playing volleyball at the company picnic] Nicely done. We’re still going to crush you though! Charles: Yes we are! Rolph: You suckers are goin’ down! They’re gonna wipe their asses with your serves! Piss all over your faces! Dwight: Okay, Rolph! Woah. Wait, wait- Rolph: It’s true! Toby: This reminds me of the HR convention last fall.
Dwight: Normally I don’t condone leaving early, but I have an appointment with the horse doctor. How that horse became a doctor, I don’t know. [laughs at his own joke] No, I’m kidding. He’s just a regular doctor who shoots your horse in the head when its leg is broken.
Creed: I want to set you up with my daughter. Jim: Oh, I’m engaged to Pam. Creed: I thought you were gay. Jim: Then why would you want to set me up with your daughter? Creed: I don’t know.
Michael: There are certain defining moments in a person’s life. The day he is born. The day he grows hair. The day he starts a business. And the day he sells that business back to Dunder Mifflin.
Michael: Did I ever tell you about the day that Steve Martin died? Pam: Steve Martin’s not dead, Michael. Michael: I know. But I always thought that the day that he died would be the worst day of my life. I was wrong. It’s this.
Ryan: [on phone] Last night was crazy. Jojo? Yeah. He did a donut in a parking lot in front of a cop. And then he yells, “Hey cop, you like donuts?” then we drive off. [pauses] No, he just stayed there.
David: Do you realize what you’re asking for here? You’re talking about salary plus health benefits- Michael: And dental this time. David: Insurance, taxes, social security for three people. This is a heck of a lot more than 60 grand. You’re talking about a multi-million dollar buy-out. Michael: These are our demands. David: Your company cannot be worth that much. Michael: Our company is worth nothing.
Jim: About a week ago, Michael gave his 2-week notice. And, surprisingly there is a very big difference between Michael trying and Michael not trying.
Kevin: Lynn, I’m just gonna say to you everything that I am thinking. Lynn: OK. Kevin: I think you have the best smile. I’d like to take you out to dinner and a movie. Lynn: OK. Kevin: Nice. Boobs.
Kevin: I can’t keep doing this forever. Red Cross woman: It’s been 20 seconds. [Kevin continues for a few seconds, stops, and walks off] Kevin: Call it.
Michael: Andy, Cornell called, they think you suck. And you’re gayer than Oscar. Boom. Roasted.
Andy: We’re getting married at Schrute Farms. No matter what. I have looked at 12 venues, I have lost eight deposits and I have seen Angela naked zero times. I am not losing another deposit.
Phyllis: Oh, I don’t think it’s blackmail. Angela just does what I ask her to do so I won’t tell everyone that she’s cheating on Andy with Dwight. I think for it to be blackmail, there would have to be a formal letter.
Sad face. Oscar nominee Amy Ryan returns to The Office tomorrow night, but unfortunately, it seems that her return is the beginning of the end for Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and our beloved Holly Flax.
We just spoke to Amy exclusively, and she does feel your pain: “I got stopped in the street last week by this woman who just said, ‘You have to go back to him! You broke his heart.’ It’s a lot of pressure!”
So what goes down between Holly and Michael tomorrow at the “Company Picnic”? Here’s what Amy spilled:
According to Holly, “Right now Holly has a hot boyfriend. [The finale] is a company picnic, and he works at the Nashua branch, so yeah, he is there. Michael responds to this in his usual, as-you-would-expect way.” By which she means he responds with his usual hilarious and wacko inappropriateness.
After the “Company Picnic” encounter, however, it’s all over, as much as Amy would love the prospect of another return visit with her friends at The Office. She says, “I think that door [to return] will always be open, just because it’s such a nice party to go to. But that said, there are no plans any time soon for them to be reunited again.” Still, we can always hold out for a series-finale capper where Holly Flax returns to propose to Michael, right? As Amy puts it, “You never know when they’re going to be whisked away off into the sunset.”
As for her partner in crime, “Steve and I get along so well as actors, to the point where we are finishing each others’ sentences—even in conversation. Of course, there’s no catching up with Steve in the comedy department, but he’s so generous. He leaves room for you to take it, you know? He sets you up beautifully. He offers it up to you to grab it as your own.” Aww, he really is the nicest guy in show business!
Next up for Amy is a role opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in the quirky rom-com Jack Goes Boating, which is also Hoffman’s directorial debut.
Will you miss Amy Ryan on The Office when she’s gone? Do you think Holly was Michael Scott’s one true love?
The Office season finale airs Thursday at 9 p.m. on NBC.
Now that Michael Scott is back at the helm at Dunder-Mifflin, does that mean his replacement, Idris Elba’s Charles Miner, is gone for good on The Office? Not necessarily. According to E! insiders, the hard-ass is back in the fifth season finale for the company picnic. Michael is far from pleased, but at least - OMG - Holly Flax returns as well!
Now all we need is Jan for the tri-fecta of awkwardness …
Below you will find a sample of the best quotes from last week’s episode of The Office, “Casual Friday,” in which Michael Scott returned with a vengeance to Dunder-Mifflin.
Whether you missed it or just want to relive some of the best lines, prepare to laugh, and be sure to check out our library of The Office quotes from every single episode!
Kevin: At least once a year, I like to bring in some of my Kevin’s Famous Chili. The trick is to undercook the onions. Everybody is going to get to know each other in the pot. I’m serious about this stuff. I’m up the night before pressing garlic and dicing whole tomatoes. I toast my own Ancho chilies. It’s a recipe passed down from Malones for generations. It’s probably the thing I do best.
Creed: I want to set you up with my daughter. Jim: Oh, I’m engaged to Pam. Creed: I thought you were gay. Jim: Then why would you want to set me up with your daughter? Creed: I don’t know.
Michael: When I needed salespeople for my new paper company, everyone here turned their back on me. Am I going to ask them to beg for forgiveness? No. Am I going to ask for big, crying apology? No. Am I going to ask them to slit their wrists for me? No. I just want a tiny, microscopic version of that.
Kelly: Dammit, Meredith, where are your panties? Meredith: It’s casual Friday. Happy?
Michael: So from the bottom of my heart to the top of my heart, I am sorry. Stanley: Are you giving us our clients back? Michael: If we could just focus and go down the line, and everyone would say, “apology accepted,” I think we would all feel better. And then we can break out my gift to you - complimentary white chocolate bark. Stanley: Nobody likes that except for you.
Ryan: I’m sorry you feel that way, Mr. Bart. Is there anything I can do to make things better? Dwight: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Give me the phone. Ryan: Exactly. Dwight: That’s my client. Ryan: Exactly. This is your first complaint in ten years. Dwight: Give me the phone. Ryan: Things have been generally good. Dwight: Give me the phone. Tell him Dwight Schrute wants to talk to him. Ryan: Look, uh, Mr. Bart… Dwight: Hi, Mr. Bart. Ryan: At these prices with this service… Dwight: Hey, it’s Dwight here. Give me the phone. Ryan: You’re not gonna find this anywhere else. Dwight: Dwight Schrute here. Hey, don’t hang up. Ryan: No, no, no. Sir, don’t listen. Dwight: I know times are tough right now, and I laud your thriftiness. Ryan! Phyllis: Ryan, hand the phone over. Ryan: Stop flustering me, everybody!
NBC is gearing up for the premiere of a new series of Office webisodes premiering May 7th. To gear up for next month’s premiere check out a new sneak preview clip as well as a behind the scenes clip featuring the cast sharing their thoughts on the new webisodes coming up.
The Office (May 14, NBC) On the show’s 100th episode, Dunder Mifflin sponsors an “eventful” company picnic, at which guest stars (and Wire vets) Amy Ryan and Idris Elba will no doubt charm and torture Michael Scott, respectively. What’s that? You were hoping to see Jim and Pam’s nuptials by the end of the season? Well, pick up the shattered pieces of your life and move on, because it ain’t going to happen. We’re hearing that the honour of our presence will instead be requested for a fall wedding.
He’s started his own fledgling paper enterprise, which has made for some great comedy. But is Michael Scott ever going back to Dunder Mifflin on The Office? That’s unclear, but even if Michael (Steve Carell) does come back to Dunder Mifflin Scranton, E! Online says his relationship with Dwight continues to be strained. After all those years of Michael putting him down, Dwight’s going to be in attack mode. Says Rainn Wilson, “If you poke a cobra in the neck, he will strike at your arm with his teeth. You can quote me on that.” That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?
In happier relationship news from The Office, “There’s love and politics in the air at Dunder Mifflin,” added Rainn. And while Dwight and his former lover Angela are not currently getting it on, Rainn hints that they will, “Maybe in the near future.”
All good things must come to an end. That includes this season of The Office. What will the finale bring? What’s the future of the Michael Scott Paper Company?
Korbi Ghosh of Zap2It was on set for the show’s 100th episode and reported the following developments…
The season ends with a company-wide Dundler-Mifflin picnic;
Ryan and Pam both return to work for their former organization;
Amy Ryan (Holly!) appears in the episode;
So does Kevin’s girlfriend.
Dwight and Angela will be back on speaking terms… at the very least.
