ABOUT THE OFFICE:
From Deedle-Dee Productions, Reveille and Universal Media Studios comes the hilarious documentary-style look into the humorous and sometimes poignant foolishness that plagues the world of 9-to-5 in the half-hour comedy “The Office,” based on the award-winning BBC hit. Since its premiere on NBC in March 2005, “The Office” has established itself as a genuine hit, earning prestigious television honors such as the 2006 Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, 2006 Peabody Award, 2006 AFI Honor, Producers Guild Award, Writers Guild Award, SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy, Ace Eddie Award for editing and a Television Critic’s Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy.
A fly-on-the-wall “docu-reality” parody about modern American office life, “The Office” delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott (Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Steve Carell, “Get Smart,” “Little Miss Sunshine”) is a single, middle-aged man who is the boastful tour guide for the documentary.
With unshaken enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of business wisdom and his employees’ cool friend. He has no clue that his employees tolerate his inappropriate behavior only because he signs their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked and to look cool, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic. His prize possession is his “World’s Greatest Boss” mug — which he had to buy for himself.
Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer, “Walk Hard,” “Blades of Glory”) is the reasonable and friendly office receptionist who bears the brunt of Michael’s routines. The bright spots in Pam’s day are her conversations with Jim Halpert (John Krasinski, “Leatherheads” “The Holiday”), a likable sales rep with a good sense of humor who should have found a better job years ago, but is too comfortable with his office mates and routine to leave.
Jim shares his working space with Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson, “The Rocker,” “The Last Mimzy”), the arrogant assistant to the regional manager. Dwight is intensely irritating to normal people while Jim spends a lot of time finding new, interesting ways to drive Dwight crazy.
Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak, “Punk’d”) is the young, smart, former temp, who quickly figured out the real office politics despite Michael’s attempts to instill the official point-of-view.
Also starring are Melora Hardin (“Monk”) as Jan Levenson, Ed Helms (“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”) as Andy Bernard, Leslie David Baker (“Malcolm in the Middle”) as Stanley Hudson, Brian Baumgartner (“Arrested Development”) as Kevin Malone, Kate Flannery (“The Heir Apparent”) as Meredith Palmer, Mindy Kaling (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin”) as Kelly Kapoor, Angela Kinsey (“Tripping Forward”) as Angela Martin, Paul Lieberstein (writer, “King of the Hill”) as Toby Flenderson, Oscar Nuñez (“Halfway Home”) as Oscar Martinez, Phyllis Smith (“Arrested Development”) as Phyllis Lapin, Creed Bratton (former member of The Grass Roots) as Creed Bratton and Craig Robinson (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”) as Darryl Philbin.
“The Office” is executive-produced by Ben Silverman, Greg Daniels, who developed the series for American audiences, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein and Paul Lieberstein.

so there i am, just minding my own business, when my boss out of no where starts singing… what do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? do they dream of mauling zebras…your pretty stripped head we’re gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed yeah that was it
Earlier this year, my wife and I bought a puppy. I told several of my friends at work and showed them a few pictures.
One of the guys in my office ended up basically falling in love with the dog…
He’s asked me to send pictures to his personal email account, he talks about her every day (was she awake when you got up this morning? did she follow you into work? what do you think she’s doing now?).
He makes up things about her (she can get out of her kennel while you’re at work but she puts herself up before you get home, shes an alien and she sucks your brain out at night).
Just this past weekend, he topped it all off – he wrote an 8 page short story about her adventures as a secret agent.
I never know what to expect when I go to work, but I do know I’ll get a good laugh and have a bit of fun every day.
I used to work nights in a help desk, one of my co workers was fond of extra curricular activities before and after work and was either drunk or high at all times (I’m not entirely sure which as it may have been both)
Needless to say with his lack of sleep he caught up a lot while he worked along side me. He would often twitch and wake himself wildly by throwing his computer mouse across the room, or by rolling himself, in his chair, until has back was against the office refrigerator.
Well after a while I got used to it… That is until he began loudly talking to himself in his “sleep”. He was yelling at someone and threatening to kill them, to make a long story short he concluded his dreamtime rant by saying “etcetera, etcetera… amen.”
Oh crap I just remembered when I worked as a cable guy, I was prepositioned by a man as I was fixing his telephone.
I’ll skip the story as I’ve already submitted one and it may not be allowed but the exact words he used as I was working were “Can I give you a blow job” I was not offended, nor am I gay so the only thing I could think to say in my haze of bewilderment was “No thanks, not today. Maybe some other time” He seemed quite upset.
That was an odd day. Not sure if that qualifies anyway as I wasn’t working in an office at the time.
I used to work in an office where I was the only male. All of the women, except for one, on the staff were much older than me. There was one woman in particular who could have given Michael Scott a run for his money. She’d blather on about anything and nothing was off limits. She had a hysterectomy and for months leading up to the surgery she would go on and on about it. When she came back 6 weeks after the surgery that’s all she would talk about. She particularly seemed to like talking about the first time her husband and she had sex after the surgery (it was very painful for her and she told her husband they couldn’t do it again until she felt better and he threatened if it was more than a couple weeks he would divorce her).
There was lots of male bashing that went on there. Especially with the aforementioned woman. I’m not sure why she married her husband as much as she complained about him.
There was another time after my father died and on my first day back after the funeral I had to listen to her rant for hours about a cold sore in her mouth. The woman doesn’t have any children, but she really liked to complain if the local school children had to go to school if it was too hot or too cold. I wanted to tell her it would do them good and build them character, like the time in high school on our way to the bus stop and our hair froze solid, but I didn’t think she would appreciate that story.
There are many more anecdotes about this woman. She was something else.
she sounds lovely lol who wouldn’t wanna hear, firsthand, about someone’s hysterectomy.
My best office story is this: I have never had to work in an office. Winner winner, chicken dinner!
I’ve never worked in an office but I did work in a bakery in a grocery store that is no more,..It was like a soap opera, the bakery manager was having an affair with the produce guy. they were both married. the produce guy would have the bakery lady over when his wife was out. one time they thought they heard his wife come home so they got out a knife to cut the ties he used to wear when he was a bagger off of the bedpost that were tying her up,,I was 18 at the time..I sure got a lot of information…
One time me and my office friend Mary was talking and she mentioned that there was something special about our new boss. I was wondering what it was and My boss (unnamed) happened to be the 7th richest person in the world, and he was like 78… Here comes the best part. He married my mother.
one day when i came into work there was a tour of new hires coming through and they were all standing around my desk. there were so many of them that I could not get to my desk. i decided to wait it out but my co-worker would have none of that. he promptly told them to move out of the way “This lady works by the hour.” I was so embarrassed. Although I do work by the hour that statement can mean so many things.
One of my coworkers thought it would be a great birthday surprise for my boss to move her entire desk into the bathroom for her birthday. She moved every picture & file to the restroom for a great surprise. That was a bit much!
so there i am, just minding my own business, when my boss out of no where starts singing… what do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? do they dream of mauling zebras…your pretty stripped head we’re gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed yeah that was it
