The Office, which aired on television weekly from 2005 to 2013, is widely regarded as one of the finest modern sitcoms. It follows the shenanigans of the staff at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Office is a mockumentary-style television series.
It features Steve Carell as the clueless regional manager Michael Scott, Rainn Wilson as the associate here to regional manager Dwight Schrute, John Krasinski as the uninteresting receptionist Pam Beesly, as well as Jenna Fischer as the fed-up paper salesman Jim Halpert.
Some Funny ‘The Office’ Moments:
“Office Olympics”, “Goodbye Michael”, as well as “Finale” were just a few of the crazy episodes. Owing to Michael Scott’s poor leadership and Dwight Schrute‘s bizarre commitment to his work life, The Office has its measure of humorous and funny moments. But occasionally, Dunder Mifflin workers find themselves in situations that may only be compared to seeing a hallucination unfold on TV.
It isn’t easy to choose which of these should compete for the funniest moment of the entire program, though. It’s simple to name dozens or perhaps hundreds of memorable scenes that brought audiences to tears. Naturally, many qualified individuals will be left hanging if you narrow the field down to just a dozen or so. It is how it is.
However, we’ve searched through “Office” fandom’s internet archives to find the show’s best scenes and found some of the most hilarious, raunchy, and heart-pounding moments. The outcomes of our study are shown here, approximately arranged from worst to best.
20. Will Stanley Notice?
In Dunder Mifflin, Stanley is aware of the jokes, turmoil, and possible bullying going on all around him, but he doesn’t care enough just to give heed. The staff came together to find out how frequently Stanley engages with his environment in the season 7 episode “Costume Contest.”
After accidentally sipping orange juice instead of his regular coffee, Jim gathers the group for a series of bizarre and obscene pranks. Kevin dresses like Phyllis and wears her clothes. Andy wears only a tie, and Pam has a very big mustache.
It is one of the most bizarre practical jokes pulled by Jim and the gang throughout The Office, even if Stanley does not notice it because he only appears to worry whenever the clock hits five o’clock.
19. Meredith Goes Topless
Every office has a person whose personal life creeps into the office and causes everyone to be uneasy. That’s Meredith Palmer, an accountancy manager who is an HR disaster for Dunder Mifflin. Meredith is infamous for arriving at work intoxicated and having affairs with employees.
In “Christmas Party,” she displays Michael inside his office following having too much to drink. The incident becomes more disturbing than humorous when Michael takes out a camera and snaps a short shot as if that weren’t unsettling enough.
18. Pam Walks on Coals
Pam‘s season is the third one. It follows her development as a special individual who has her own aspirations and drives to love herself. When she becomes the first person to walk through the burning coals in “Beach Games completely,” this concludes in a stunning scene.
She, too, runs to the beachside campfire in a fit of excitement and expresses her suppressed feelings. She complains to her colleagues that they disregarded her art exhibit and informs Jim that she misses laughing with him. One of the greatest moments for one of the greatest characters in the series.
17. Jim Asks Pam Out
The Office has never had a humorous sequence that viewers find themselves watching over and over again. Instead, it’s the climax of “The Job,” when Jim returns from New York in a hurry to ask Pam out after 3 seasons of will they/won’t they, giving up the raise and his connection with Karen.
It’s a breathtaking scene that is expertly written and framed. One of the finest acting performances in tv history can be seen in Jenna Fischer’s expression when she embraces Jim‘s offer. When you see it, it’s difficult not to feel your heart soar and your grin spread. It’s The Office’s greatest work to date.
16. “Jim and Pam’s Wedding” The Office Season 6, Episode 4/5

Jim and Pam’s wedding was another scene from The Office that displayed all of the actors having a good time. Here, Dunder Mifflin employees rend the J.K. Rowling wedding entrance dance to the song “Forever.” Numerous humorous incidents occur, including Kevin’s tissue box shoes and Dwight’s kick to Isabel’s face.
But what elevates it to the top is the touching, romantic quality of the scene. Some viewers may be unaware of the fact that Mindy Kaling was instrumental in the creation of this episode. This “The Office” episode received a lot of love from fans and is one of the best scenes from the show.
15. Kelly’s Birthday Outburst
Whilst Kelly Kapoor, a fan favorite, frequently gets the best words on The Office (which occasionally become memes), none may be as wonderfully gratifying on rewatches just like when she screams at Dwight in the early part of season five’s “Lecture Circuit,” “Screw you, beefer, I don’t forget your birthday!”
There are several phrases that keep erupting into laughter whenever she confronts Dwight. Kelly’s character goes into a full-on hysterical frenzy when Jim and Dwight neglect her birthday making it one of the funniest The Office scenes. However, the ideal one is the first exchange of words when she acts pious and then quickly backs down over ice cream cake.
14. “Stress Relief” The Office Season 5, Episode 14/15
The Office‘s most recognizable scene is perhaps the start of “Stress Relief.” The Office’s “Stress Relief” made a great impression on viewers at the episode’s beginning because it provided the world with some much-needed humor.
During this funny chilly opening, everyone gets to shine. Andy yells that the fire drill is firing at them as Oscar falls through the roof, Kevin destroys a vending machine, and it appears that Angela has been bringing her cats to work, and a vending machine is destroyed. It’s a crazy set piece that keeps intensifying.
13. “Business School” The Office Season 3, Episode 17
Inviting Michael to speak to his class while working as a temporary employee at Dunder Mifflin and attending business school, Ryan reveals to the documentary team that he is doing it to improve his grade.
But Ryan’s risk backfires as Michael’s attempt at a motivational speech completely goes off the rails, resulting in him trashing a student’s pricey economics textbook and storming out of the room while shouting at the pupils to “suck on that!”
The latest in a long line of Jim vs. Dwight practical jokes that never fail to amuse, Jim and Karen convince Dwight that Jim has been bitten and is turning into a vampire after discovering a bat in the office.
12. Jim Says Goodbye to Michael
For a plethora of reasons, the “Goodbye Michael” episode is heartbreaking. The finest scene, though, would be when Michael says Jim Halpert farewell. Many fans may enjoy Michael’s contagious giggle after saying farewell to Oscar or his tearful airport farewell to Pam.
The clever concept of framing their farewell as one reserved for “tomorrow’s lunch” makes the warmth between the two obvious. In the sequence where Michael crosses out Jim’s name from his farewell list rather than just scratching out what everyone else’s, John Krasinski, as well as Steve Carell shine.
11. Dwight’s Fire Drill
Throughout the duration of the performance, there are several incredible cold openings, but just one of them jumps out as a strong contender for the top spot on a countdown of the funniest moments. The fire drill which Dwight holds at the start of the Season 5 episode “Stress Relief” is among the funniest comedies ever captured on camera.
Mr. Schrute quietly sets the stage for an enormous fire drill at the beginning of the action. When he starts a (sort of) confined fire behind such a closed door, he heats knobs, locks doorways, and arranges everything. The unfortunate Dunder Mifflin employees get increasingly hysterical due to the subsequent catastrophe.
Review of The Fire Drill Episode:
Every aspect of this sequence is wild, such as using the photocopier as a battering ram, tossing seats out of windows, jumping through roofs, and utilizing a considerable amount of firecrackers. And it’s major television comedy at its best throughout.
10. “Michael Scott Paper Company” The Office Season 5, Episode 23

Michael Scott was destined to strike out on his own at some point after constantly defying Corporate and following his own path throughout the whole series. In “Michael Scott Paper Company,” the moment occurs when Michael decides to launch his own name-brand business with Pam and Ryan as partners.
Sadly, none of them know exactly how to launch a paper business, and Pam and Ryan argue throughout the whole episode in their incredibly tiny one-room workplace. Returning to Dunder Mifflin, Jim passes the day, hiding the fact that he has no idea what all of the jargon his new manager implies.
At the same time, Andy and Dwight unexpectedly become great friends, much to the annoyance of their shared ex-girlfriend Angela.
9. “The Convention” The Office Season 3, Episode 2
Somewhere at Northeastern Mid-Market Office Supply Convention, Jim is reconnected with Michael and Dwight after moving to Stamford because Pam repeatedly rejects his love advances at the conclusion of Season 2. Jim had transferred there because Pam had done so. A clearly heartbroken Michael initially targets Jim’s new employer, desperate to uncover any trash he can in an attempt to win Jim again.
This leads to Michael hosting a comically extravagant hotel room event that nobody shows up to. In other scenes from the show, Pam breaks up with her fiancé and then goes on a tacky double dinner with Kelly (Mindy Kaling), Ryan (B.J. Novak), plus Kelly’s dull neighbor, and Jim thinks Angela is a prostitute.
8.” The Convict” The Office Season 3, Episode 9

Michael is shocked to learn that one of his new workers was recruited via a federally reformed felon employment program after the Scranton and Stamford offices of Dunder Mifflin consolidated, relocating all the Stamford staff to Scranton. The information spreads swiftly, and the former prisoner employee soon finds himself being questioned about what life is like behind bars.
Michael calls an unscheduled conference where he assumes the identity of “Prison Mike,” a prisoner figure he has created to frighten the workers of Dunder Mifflin straight because he is alarmed that his staff seems interested in some of jail’s “perks.” The Office‘s funniest moments come from a foolish concept that develops into utter ridiculousness.
7. “Dunder Mifflin Infinity” The Office Season 4, Episodes 3-4

Ryan, a previous intern, enters covertly to apply for and subsequently get the corporate position that Michael, Karen, plus Jim were all vying for at the conclusion of Season 3. He reappears to Scranton in “Dunder Mifflin Infinity” and announces his proposal to modernize the company’s software, which Michael vehemently opposes.
Michael embarks on a long drive to regain lost clients as part of his vengeance over technology (their top grievance? Outdated tech). He makes yet another bad choice as he crashes a rental automobile into Scranton Lake, which is close by.
Michael pretends to misunderstand the GPS system while Dwight is sitting on the passenger side next to him to demonstrate the argument that modern tech is worthless. Eventually, they believe that “computers are about attempting to kill you in a pond.” Kelly publicly announces a (false) pregnancy in an attempt to persuade Ryan back at work. However, thankfully, the truth comes out before things get out of hand.
6.”Beach Games” The Office Season 3, Episode 23
After Michael is given a chance to apply for a higher-level post in New York City, he chooses to select his potential successor through a sequence of Survivor-style games played on the beachfront at Lake Scranton instead of the conventional form and interview procedure.
He hopes the expedition will provide his staff with one final good memory of him and a chance for the most deserving Regional Manager to shine. The sports are amusingly ridiculous, such as ridicule sumo wrestling, a hot dog eating competition, and a hot coal walk that Dwight just hardly escapes from alive.
5. “Office Olympics” The Office Season 2, Episode 3
Contrary to what Dwight would presumably claim, the majority of Dunder Mifflin staff have undemanding occupations that provide them plenty of leisure.
In “Office Olympics,” Jim and Pam stage a sequence of silly office games, such as running while also holding full mugs of coffee or a “Flonkerton race,” wherein participants sprint around the worksite with full crates of paper appended to their feet.
Dwight and Michael are absent because they need to shut down Michael’s new condo. When Michael finds he entirely misread the conditions of his mortgage, he begins to have humorous buyers’ guilt.
4. CPR Training
it’s hard to believe all these amazing scenes were from one single episode pic.twitter.com/XiL5cLuLdQ
— The Office Memes (@OfficeMemes_) August 5, 2021
Clearly, whoever determined that Dunder Mifflin employees needed CPR training was underestimating how sincerely the group might take things. Firstly, Michael refuses to train on a dummy without limbs or legs for a very inappropriate reason. As if that weren’t awful enough, Andy starts singing the “Stayin’ Alive” melody, which is used to gauge chest compressions, as Kelly dances along cheerfully.
Viewers were most shocked by Dwight‘s dark, Silence of the Lambs-inspired dissection of the CPR dummy, though. Fair enough, he had simply been attempting to remove the dummy’s parts for donating following Michael had “killed” it. This episode is more like a feverish disaster than a dreamscape.
3. Kevin Spills the Chili
The moment of Kevin dropping his chili in “Casual Friday,” is among the finest Office episodes. It is memorable even though it has no connection with the remainder of the show. One of the character’s signature moments is when he enthusiastically brings his pot of famous chili into the workplace before completely freaking out when he spills it.
Kevin uses a clipboard and paper from a table nearby to try to mop up his mess, which is pure slapstick humor. Unfortunately, the “Malone formula carried down for centuries” is never tried by Dunder Mifflin, and Kevin gives up and falls into the spill.
2. The Dinner Party
The whole “Dinner Party” episode is a dream sequence, to be honest. But what makes the event so challenging (and interesting to witness) is the turbulent chemistry involving hosts Michael and Jan. Their disagreement begins with Jan yelling at Michael for not cleaning the house.
Things rapidly get out of hand, and the visitors soon find themselves having to listen to their hosts argue about ex-lovers, vasectomies, and unwelcome décor. The famed altercation over the $200 “plasma TV” serves as the episode’s climax. Viewers are left to analyze each situation once the police are ultimately summoned.
1. Michael Grills his Foot

The Office viewers never get to witness Michael get on his George Foreman grill. But what makes it among the most entertaining clips to watch on a regular basis are the reactions.
Jim‘s amusing satire of Michael’s distress is aired to the entire workplace. And Dwight’s excessive rescue attempt makes for a great skit. The part of Michael’s talk that solidifies it as a classic has to be its climax.
