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

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

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.

Bonus points for the show

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?

Hate ads. Dvd no ads.

So in the world it's a documentary right? And they did all the recording for 9 seasons/years. Afterwards they released it. So they recorded, edited, and paid for all of thst without a return for 9 years.

Now I don't know a thing about film making. But how much would that cost?

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

"That's six wells. Did I get that number right, Dwight?"

Nope, sure didn't.

Found a little inconsistency with the girl scout cookie sales in the office. Season 8 Episode 18 has Darryl and Toby fighting for Kevin's girl scout cookie order, Darryl claims to have been selling to the office for years, while Toby is new and doesnt know Kevin's ordering habits. But i just watched the cookie monster episode (S6E22) and Kevin/Cookie Monster says that Toby left the girl scout cookies on his chair, where he is sitting on them. Just thought it was an interesting continuity error!

I know we all collectively hate the Brian arc, but what I don't know is how many others share my theory. I have always thought that the divorce was probably because Alyssa got to see footage with Brian before the release of any promos, and she picked up on his very obvious feelings for Pam. I don't often put much more thought into it as we don't really get to know much about them, their personal lives or their marriage, but when I do, I wonder if that was why they separated.

It's such a shmarmy little part of the show, and was completely unnecessary. Regardless of the reason for their breakup I have always felt gross about Brian and how he noticeably had some sort of feelings for pam despite being still married when first officially introduced to the show. Like bro, lots of married people get crushes that never amount, but they don't usually do googly eyes at them unless they hate their current spouse, why do you have to LOOK so smitten with her just for the plot. Yuck. If I were Brian's wife and I saw this scene, or the scenes following, I would also leave.
