My Top 10 "Office" Moments

There once was a time when I looked forward to Thursdays, to watch my favorite show, "The Office".  Each one of the whole ensemble of actors brought something to the show.  There was the hot-and-cold Jim/Pam relationship that had us guessing which way it would go.  We all ultimately breathed a happy sigh of relief when they hooked up.  There was the Dwight/Angela/Andy love triangle.  There was Stanley with his health issues, Kelly's obsession with Ryan, Meredith's alcoholism, and of course Michael with his desperate need to be liked and accepted.


Let's face it.  The show "The Office" isn't what it used to be.  It seems like the show has run its course.  The show is trying too hard, even bringing in actors like Kathy Bates.  Unfortunately, that didn't help.


So, harking back to the good old days, here are my Top Ten moments from the show "The Office", some of them with clips included.


Counting down:


10.  Princess Unicorn
I wish I had found the clip I was looking for.  At the end of the episode, Dwight sells the last Princess Unicorn to Darrell.  Toby is desperate to get one for his daughter, so pays Darrell $400 for the one he just bought.  Toby then discovers that he just paid $400 for an African-American Princess Unicorn.


9.  Dwight Roasts Michael
All of the roasts were good.  Pam: "(Michael's genitalia) is so small that if it were an iPod, it would be a Shuffle"; Andy sings, "What I Hate About You"; Meredith goes into a diatribe that includes "You Are The Reason I Drink".


8.  Jan Sings "Son of a Preacher Man"
Michael has the Party Planning Committee host a baby shower for Jan.  She shows up with baby Astrid (Michael thinks the baby's name is "AsTIRD")  At some point during the baby shower, Jan bursts into song while the others are forced to sit and listen to her.


7.  Andy singing "Take A Chance On Me"
Andy sings the Abba classic to Angela, with 3 part harmony backup.  It's too bad I couldn't find a video for this one, but it was truly classic.


6.  "That's What She Said"
Immediately after Michael promises Jan that he will no longer do the "That's what she said" routine, Jim comes up with as many opportunities to break Michael down.  



5.  Jim as Dwight


4.  The Dunder Mifflin Commercial
When corporate sends a couple of guys over to shoot a DM Commercial, Michael comes up with his own.


3.  The Diwali Song 
When Kelly invites the entire office to a Diwali celebration, Michael does a parody of Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Song.


2.  Jim Asks Out Pam
I couldn't find a clip, but this is a video shot of the tv while it is being played.  The look on Pam's face at the end is just awesome.


1.  The Wedding Entrance Dance
Based loosely on the youtube video that went viral and was featured on The Today Show, this is one of the truly unforgettable moments on The Office.
