The US adaptation of The Office aired from 2005 to 2013, which, let's be honest, were some of the best years of our lives. The pilot episode is based around a documentary crew that arrives at paper company Dunder Mifflin to film the seemingly ordinary lives of the staff. Turns out, it's also the same day that manager Michael Scott is forced to downsize the Scranton branch. Over the course of nine seasons, we've fallen in love with Pam, Jim, and Phyllis -- even the negative nancy Angela and the overly eccentric Dwight. Just thinking about certain scenes makes us burst out laughing, like the time Michael hit Meredith with his car. Or the time Kevin spilled chili all over himself and the floor. Or the time Kelly went on a juice cleanse and basically starved herself for days, not to mention her on-again, off-again relationship with Ryan. As soon as the show ended, hardcore fans awaited the day for The Office to appear on Netflix, and now that it has, we're free to binge-watch it again and again for free. Frankly, we should all be Office experts by now. We've had years to practice our Office trivia, and now, the time has come to put that knowledge to the test. Try and score 100% on this quiz!
What's Roy's brother's name?
So much for great first impressions. The only time we see Roy's brother is when destroys the Poor Richard's pub in Scranton. The brothers burst into the bar and literally tear the place apart, flipping tables, breaking chairs, and throwing glasses on the floor. Roy was previously engaged to Pam before Jim won her heart over, which means Roy's brother is automatically dragged into the drama of their relationship. Obviously, judging by this bar scene, Roy's brother does not handle the beef too well.
What did Ryan leave in the toaster that caused the fire?
Office buildings around the world are taught how to evacuate the building in the event of a fire. But at Dunder Mifflin, things are done a little differently. When the fire alarm starts going off, Dwight and Angela try to take charge and find the source of the smoke. The staff remains calm while Michael, being as selfless as he is, pushes everybody out of the way as he bolts for the exit in a total panic. Dwight begins an investigation into who or what started the fire.
What does Pam think Roy will be serving at his wedding?
Here's a little bit about Roy Anderson. He's a warehouse dock worker at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin. In the early seasons of 'The Office,' viewers find out he's been engaged to Pam, the receptionist, for three years. We quickly learn that their relationship is going downhill as he's completely insensitive to her hopes, dreams, and ambitions. But in the end, Roy finds love with another woman and invites ex-fiancee Pam to their wedding. She makes a prediction about what type of food Roy will be serving.
What does Michael say to 'Ben Franklin' in the elevator?
Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, has never had a way with words. The timing of his jokes is always off, and sometimes, his jokes aren't even that funny. Michael can be completely oblivious to how rude or insulting his jokes are. So, is it really any surprise that his conversation with a Ben Franklin impersonator goes south? The 'Ben Franklin' episode took place in season three, episode 15 -- the same episode where Michael brings in two adult performers to honor Phyllis' wedding shower.
What is the name of Pam's replacement during maternity leave?
One of the happiest moments on 'The Office' is when Pam and Jim announce their pregnancy. In fact, Pam was pregnant twice during the run of the show, and her co-workers did not always take it easy on her. There was Dwight who kept yelling, "I'm crowning! I'm crowning!" in the middle of the workday, then there was the time that Michael showed off her ultrasound pictures (without her permission), and then she made the mistake of asking Dwight is she was still attractive.
Why did Michael schedule his Jamaica trip for December?
December seems like a weird time to go to Jamaica, right? Jamaica seems like a place where we'd want to go during the summer when it's nice and hot and sunny. But nope, Michael decides to book his trip for the end of December. He does this for one reason in particular that his co-workers and employees roll their eyes at. When he returns from his trip, he throws a luau party in the warehouse to celebrate. But not everyone is thrilled to see him again.
What movies do the staff watch on Movie Mondays?
Mondays at Dunder Mifflin means movie time! During a one-on-one interview, Pam explains Movie Monday is one of Michael's favorite in-office activities, even though it has very little to do with getting work done. Michael considers himself an expert at most things, which includes picking the right movies and shows for Movie Monday. As always, his staff is shocked (and sometimes disgusted) by his random picks. They're almost never office appropriate. What kind of movies does Michael like to play on Mondays?
Who doesn't appear in the pilot episode?
When the pilot episode of the American 'The Office' aired, we knew our lives would forever be changed and shaped by the comedy, the cast, and the storyline. The pilot episode begins with a documentary crew arriving at Dunder Mifflin. Manager Michael Scott is thrilled by the news and attempts to paint a rosy picture. But after learning that the company will be downsizing, he fails to keep it together, and suddenly, everything falls through the cracks. Which character does not appear in the first episode?
Which of these is not a made up disease?
In the episode 'Health Care' (season one, episode three) Dwight gets the authority to choose a health care plan for everybody, simply because Michael doesn't want to deal with it. The problem is, all of the plans up for grabs are pretty low-grade, and no one is impressed with their options. Drunk with power, Dwight makes up a bunch of fake diseases to create scenarios in which his co-workers would need specific health care plans. When he finally picks a plan, the employees run to Michael's office to complain.
Who does Andy discover he's related to?
In the episode 'Andy's Ancestry,' Andy (played by Ed Helms) discovers he's related to a famous person after he demands that Nellie Bertram research his family tree. When a famous name pops up in the results, Andry brags to the rest of his co-workers, which leads them to wonder if his family ever owned slaves back in the day. To get back at them for making fun of him, he asks Nellie to dig up dirt on all the Dunder Mifflin employees.
How many minutes in total has Michael worked for Dunder Mifflin?
It was a sad day when Steve Carell left 'The Office.' What are we going to do without our beloved Michael Scott? How will we ever survive? 'The Office' carried on for two more seasons after Steve's departure in season 7. In the episode 'Goodbye Micheal Pt. I,' his employees recount the total number of minutes he's worked at Dunder Mifflin. They even sing him a song featuring that massive number. The lyrics go like this, "We actually sat down and did the math..."
Which is not one of Michael's alter egos?
We've got to hand to Michael Scott for always trying to keep his employees entertained. As everyone knows, office life at Dunder Mifflin can get a little dull and repetitive which leads to a lower morale overall. And so, Michael goes above and beyond to make up alter egos with fake accents and costumes to bring the office back to life. He's had over ten alter egos, each one more questionable than the last. Out of these, which has not been one of Michael's characters?
Which of these stars has never appeared on the show?
More than 10 actors and actresses have appeared on 'The Office' as a guest star. After Michael Scott stepped away from the office, Will Ferrell, who played Deangelo Vickers, became the new man in charge for four episodes in 2011. Turns out, he was just as dorky and clueless as Michael. Another memorable cameo appearance belongs to Rashida Jones who played one of Jim's love interests. She played Karen Filippello in 26 episodes from 2006 to 2011. After so many seasons, it gets hard to keep track of all the guest stars.
Who said, “I really should have a tweeter account”?
'The Office' is packed with so many hilarious one-liners and punch lines that it's nearly impossible to keep up with who said what. If any of this show's characters had a Twitter account (or a Tweeter) account, we'd definitely follow along. In the episode 'Welcome Party' in season eight, Robert forces the office to throw a welcome party for Nellie. Meanwhile, Erin helps Andry practice how he's going to break up with Jessica. Who thinks they should start a Tweeter account in this episode?
A doll of what TV character appears in the background?
It takes a fan with real eagle eyes to answer this question. If we spent less time focusing on the characters and more time looking around the office, maybe we'd be able to get this one right. The office space always has something going on in the background. Blink, and we just might miss it. Fans who've watched the series again and again may have started to notice a doll in the background that resembles one famous TV character. Guess who!
What item of clothing does Michael insist on having dry cleaned?
On a normal day at the office, everyone is wearing business attire. Slacks, ties, suits, and dresses. But every once in a while, Michael pulls out his favorite item of clothing and wears it around the office. Pam claims that he becomes an entirely different person when he puts this item on. He dances around the office, jumps up on furniture, even dances! One day, when Andry arrives at the office holding Michael's dry cleaning, Pam discovers just how attached he is to this item of clothing.
Where does Ryan work after he gets fired?
A lot goes down in the 'Goodbye, Toby' episode. One plotline follows Jim, whose plans to propose to Pam get ruined after it's revealed that Andy makes a proposal of his own. The other plotline follows Ryan's legal troubles. This episode shows how Ryan gets fired from his role as Vice President of the company for misleading the shareholders and is sent to prison for fraud. After Ryan loses his job at Dunder Mifflin, where does he work next? Take a guess!
Who wins bronze in the Office Olympics?
Things fall apart for Michael in the episode 'Office Olympics.' Not only does he have a panic attack while trying to close the deal on his condo, but his employees completely stop working after he leaves the office to deal with this drama. With Dwight out of the office as well, Jim and Pam decide to have a little fun. They throw an Office Olympics and hand out gold, silver, and bronze medals at the end. It's the eternal burning of competition...or something.
When do Ryan and Kelly get together for the first time?
Is there a TV romance more complicated than Ryan and Kelly's? We doubt it. One minute she's chasing him, the next he's trying to make her jealous. One minute they're kissing in the office corner, the next she's crying her eyes out. Kelly and Ryan (who actually dated on and off in real life) are the epitome of the 'it's complicated' relationship status on Facebook. On what day did these two first hook up? Ryan will never let himself forget it.
How does Michael describe the drink at his dinner party?
The 'Dinner Party' episode has got to be one of the most cringe-worthy moments between Jan and Michael on 'The Office.' After running out of excuses, Jim and Pam have no choice but to let Michael and Jan play host and hostess for an evening. In this episode, we learn about Jan's obsession with scented candles and how she's trying to turn candle-making into a side business. We also discover that Michael has a "plasma TV" in his bedroom that cost him a mere $200.
Who tries to kiss Pam in the 'Diwali' episode?
OK, here's a quick recap of what happened in the 'Diwali' episode. Kelly invites the entire office staff to a celebration of Diwali, also known as the Hindu Festival Of Lights. But of course, it loses all meaning with Michael who thinks it's an Indian version of Halloween. At the celebration, Kelly's boyfriend Ryan fails to make a good first impression with her parents, who in turn try to set her up with a young doctor. Someone also tries to kiss Pam in this episode, but who?
What is the name of Dwight's bed and breakfast?
Dwight has some the strangest hobbies, doesn't he? This particular bed and breakfast is the residence of Dwight and Moses Schrute. Together, they grow beets, which they sell to local markets, hemp, and keep various animals on their land. This place was originally 60 acres that Dwight inherited from his father, but after the passing of aunt Shirley, it expanded by another 1600 acres. It's no wonder this place has become an agrotourism attraction and a thriving business. Name this bed and breakfast!
Who has the final lines in the finale episode?
It's fitting that the final episode of the 'The Office' is titled 'Finale.' One year since the documentary has aired, the crew has returned to gain more footage for the DVD bonus features. We pick up on Dwight and Angela's relationship as they're about to get married, Andy's talent show audition tape has gone viral and now he's found a job at the Cornell University in the Admissions Office, and Darryl has helped expand Athlead -- now named Athleap, which is set to open soon in Austin.
Finish Michael's quote: "I'm not superstitious but I am ____."
A lot happens in the episode 'Fun Run.' Over the summer, Jan and Michael moved in together, Ryan started his new job at Corporate, and Jim broke up with Karen. Oh yeah, this is also the episode in which Michael accidentally hits Meredith with his car. The combination of Meredith's injury, the death of Angela's cat, and the virus on Pam's computer, Michael believes the office is cursed, which brings us to this famous quote. He insists that he's not superstitious, but...
Where did Andy go to college?
Boy, Andy really loves to brag about where he went to school. The amount of times he mentions his college by name drives his co-workers up the wall. During his time at this place, he majored in History and has since become a 1995 alumnus. In an interview with the documentary crew, he boasts that he graduated in four years, having never studied once and chose to party the whole time. He also sang in the a capella group, "Here Comes Treble," which he also mentions countless times.
Besides Ryan, who else has Kelly dated in the office?
Kelly has actually dated TWO of her co-workers. Her on again, off again relationship with Ryan gets stunted by her sudden interest in someone else. Kelly first shows attraction to this guy in season four, when he defends her against an angry Dwight. They date until midway through season five when she dumps him via text message (so classy, right?) to get back together with Ryan for the millionth time. Here's another clue: this guy didn't work on the same floor as Kelly.
What is Toby's daughter's name?
Poor Toby. What did he ever do to get such abuse from his co-workers? Just because he works in Human Resources doesn't automatically make him a bad guy. His quiet voice and passive personality make him a target around the office, but audiences see a new side to him when his daughter is introduced into the show. Suddenly, we see Toby as an actual dad, not just the butt of every joke and prank. Michael doesn't seem to change his tune much. Toby will always be his number one enemy.
What is the password to Michael's computer?
In the episode 'E-mail Surveillance,' Dunder Mifflin's tech support employee, Sadiq, comes into the office to set a new system that allows Michael to monitor his employee's emails. But first, he has to log into Michael's computer using his personal (and highly obvious password). Michael foolishly has his password written out on a Post-It note that's stuck to his screen. When the staff finds out about this new system, Jim worries Michael will find out about the party he's throwing and invite himself.
What gift did Angela give Creed in 'Classy Christmas?'
In this episode, Michael's thrilled to learn that Toby will be taking a leave of absence to go on jury duty, which means love interest Holly will soon be taking over his position. To celebrate the occasion, Michael makes Pam plan a second, classier Christmas Party for Holly's return to Scranton. Michael is all ready to make his move when she tells him that she and AJ are still in a relationship -- but it comes with an ultimatum. Propose by the end of the year or it's over!
In 'Diversity Day,' what ethnicity does Kevin have on his head?
This episode begins with the corporate offices of Dunder Mifflin sending a representative from Diversity Today to hold a meeting in regards to diversity training. Michael finds it insulting, and in response, decides to throw his own diversity meeting, which turns out to be like the game Head Up in which people have to guess what's written on their forehead. Each staff member is given a nationality after Michael claims he's two-fifteenths Native American. It's easy to see how this activity goes south.
What color purse does Dwight buy in 'Hot Girl?'
Surprise, surprise, Michael has eyes for yet another woman who comes into the office. When saleswoman Katy Moore steps into the office to sell her wares, Michael immediately tries to woo her and lets her set up shop in the conference room. As he shows her around the office, Michael does his best to ward off the other male staff workers who are making googly eyes at her, including Pam's fiance Roy who says he would go for her if he were single.
How many M&M's does Kevin fit in his mouth?
Oh, Kevin. He tries to hard to impress his co-workers at the office but fails every time. There was the episode where he spilled hot chili all over the floor, the time he tried to save a life by giving chest presses for a mere 20 seconds, the time he tried out a new hairstyle be wearing a wig, and then the time he filled his mouth with M&M candies. How many pieces does Kevin end up having in his mouth?
What is Dwight's all time favorite movie?
Dwight has many unique interests and skills. He's trained in the art of surveillance, he has a purple belt in Goju-Ryu karate, and is the senpai at his dojo. He also claims to be a former Lackawanna County volunteer sheriff's deputy. On top of all this, Dwight is a pop culture and sci-fi enthusiast, which begs Jim to wonder what his favorite movie is in the episode 'The Fire.' The staff has nothing better to do than get to know each other while they're locked outside.
Who is a kleptomaniac?
Kleptomania is defined as an impulse control disorder that results in an irresistible urge to steal -- and someone in the office has it! Out of all the staff members, this one is the most dishonest. He frequently shares scamming stories to his co-workers, one of which included faking his own disappearance. In season 4, this character admits to being involved in many religious cults and comes clean about stealing items and money from his company's charity events. He even steals something from Phyllis' wedding.
What is Michael's middle name?
We learn a little bit more about Michael's history and upbringing as the show progresses. In the episode 'Michael's Birthday,' fans discover that Michael was born on March 16, 1964. In the episode 'Double Date,' Michael's middle name is revealed. He mostly opens up to love interest Jan about his family and childhood, telling her that he often felt alone and excluded as a child. Then, in the episode 'Diversity Day,' Michael shares more about his European roots, even though no one believes that he's part German and Scottish.
