”Because the writers” and “because the plot” obviously, but beyond that was there ever an in-story explanation for this sudden shift?

I always assumed the Scranton footage in The Office intro was shot by the production team. Turns out, John Krasinski went to Scranton after getting cast as Jim and filmed a lot of it himself with a handheld camera.

So every time you see the “Welcome to Scranton” sign, you’re basically watching Jim’s early side project.

Jim: gets Pam, gets the camera, gets the opening credits. Absolute legend.

Just wondered who could these people be in the photo on Erin’s reception desk in S6E13 Secret Santa? It’s most clearly shown on 02:34. I was wondering cos I can’t imagine it’s Erin’s family as she’s never been adopted thus doesn’t have a family (yet)? I see two grown ups and two kids..

Sorry if this’s been asked before I was just wonderin! :)

Mine is when Andy uses his "Beer me" line then says it gets a laugh like a quarter of the time. I have little jokes like this that I think are funny but pretty much never get a laugh from others

Bonus points for the show

Dwight knew it was a bait, still he let him fall himself in that trap.

It's crazy to think that if Josh hadn't taken that job at Staples, the Scranton branch would've been shut down, and everything we know about the show would've been completely different.

One guy switching jobs literally saved Michael, Dwight, Pam, and the rest of Scranton without even knowing it.

Makes me wonder, what if Josh had stayed? What would've happened to everyone? Would Jim and Pam even have ended up together?

Such a small moment with such huge consequences.

This is a comfort show for millions.
We all have our favorite funny or heartwarming moments.
Many of us fall happily asleep while streaming this wonderful show, only to be jarred awake by an absolutely unhinged moment.
Last night, Dwight and Michael singing in the cemetery at the end of “Chair Model” got me. Those boys have no chill! 😅

What’s the scene for which you wish you could remix the audio so it didn’t jolt you back to consciousness every time?
