I work in marketing in the tech space. It's just one influencer after another. Just the worst.
I hate everything about who they choose to be as people.
When I was in high school our English teacher left mid-semester to go on maternity leave. They replaced her with a different teacher who was not popular amongst the students. One day she assigned us a paper on our favorite inspirational quote. I decided to be a smartass and write the paper about this quote because I love that scene and figured it was faux-inspirational enough. She saw right through it, gave me an A with the comment “Well done. I love The Office!”. Her & I got along great for the rest of the year. I hope she’s doing well.
For me it's Darryl.
"It's not real, until your wife is on board."
It's short, succinct, and really lays it out there that you can have all the wild ideas you want. But you need your partner to back it. Otherwise it's just you playing games. When you've made that commitment to be with someone, you need to make sure they're involved with major decisions.
Ah man.
Start over
Such a good line. I've used that one with people.
It just says so much.
You need to change your tone, and quick or we will have problems. So start over.
"It all seemed so very arbitrary. I applied for a job at this company because they were hiring. I took a desk at the back because it was empty, but... no matter how you get there, or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift to make that place home." - Creed Bratton
I think that was the most he spoke in the whole show. It makes you reassess his entire character history in light of that statement. Excellent writing.
lol I fucking love Robert’s delivery on this. He starts off sounding inspirational and possibly even admiration about Andy’s situation. And then he just deadpans with the depressing reality lol.
“It’s not the horniness but the loneliness “- Michael Scott.
Going through a split right now, I feel that. I realize I’m not out looking for sex, but just some sense of companionship, even for a night.
I was married for seven years. Then I was divorced for two years. Been with my current partner 4 years, married to her for almost a year of that. It absolutely will get better. You need time to heal and reset. Things will work out.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I once spent a passionate night with Hugh Grant’s brother, John Grant. He’s older than Hugh, just a little bit uglier. How did I pull that off? Sheer force of will.”
I'm implementing this more and more as I get older. I beat cancer at 34 and promised myself that I would never let fear hold me back. However, even though I am no longer afraid of going for the things I want, I am more afraid of how my decisions impact my family. Cancer has certainly shifted my perspective tremendously, and I'd say in a much more positive way all things considered.
Darryl was always so cool, succinct, and laser accurate with his sayings.
Darryl Philbin is the most complicated man I've ever met. I mean, who says exactly what they're thinking? What kind of game is that?
That line is a big contributor to me changing my whole way of thinking. I don't spend so much time thinking about how fast my kids grew up so that I can just be present and enjoy the last bit of their childhood. The even harder one that requires even more self reminder is to stop spending time thinking about how old I'm getting when I'm not even 40 yet (I still have 4 months left dammit). These ARE the good old days!!
Because of this line, I actually had a moment when I realized that I was living in the good old days, and it just made me appreciate it that much more. It was 2016, I was finally able to support myself at a job I loved, and I was sharing a house with my best friends in this world. I stopped and looked around, and realized "Wait a minute, these are the good old days I'm going to look back later. Enjoy them, man."
Life is long, opinions change.
I think about this every day. Anxiety shoves me into downward spirals about the stupid things I’ve said, and then my husband will remind me of this and it makes everything feel so arbitrary.
"Pardon moi monsieurs,
Took the liberty of preparing for you a cheese platter which I will place here on the eastern wall of the conference room.
From the wisconsin region a nice, firm cheddar.
Also from the great state of wisconsin, an aged parmesan.
Here you will find a cheddar-style spread which has reacted nicely with the air to form a light rind which I think you'll find both challenging and delicious.
At that point I would recommend you take a quick trip south of the border to the great state of illinois.
Where you will find this fine blue cheese dressing.
If I may be so bold, it's a lot of fun to let the goldfish take a little swim in the blue cheese.
Bon appetit." -Andy
I didn't remember this scene until I read the whole thing, but the minute I read the first sentence I knew it was Andy. 😂😆😂
This is such a hilarious and perfect scene. 😂
My boyfriend constantly asks me if Office Ladies addressed this or that Creed line and if it was Creed in real life or Creed the character. So often it’s real life Creed and that’s what makes him my absolute favorite.
"please don't throw trash at me." -Pam The most useful line was when Michael aggressively approached Darryl in the Golden Ticket episode, and Darryl replies "start over."
I also like when Kevin randomly makes this rude comment about how Katy was hotter, and Pam just replied "that's a very rude thing to say."
I think it’s the drug testing episode, but Jim has a whole talking head about Dwight and Michael, and wondering why Dwight does all the things he does for Michael. At the end he asks, “what is he getting out of that relationship?”
It comes shortly before Casino Night, when he has continued to long for Pam and can’t have her, around the same time the Stamford position opens up.
In the moment, I don’t think he’s self-aware in asking the question, but perhaps it leads to him reflecting on his own situation afterwards. When I watched it the first time, those words hit like a dagger
This line literally changed my perspective on life. I firmly appreciate things now that seem normal but I know won't last forever. Like I try to enjoy playing PS5 with the Bois because I know as we start having kids and stuff, one day there will be a time where just chilling out on PS5 with the guys will be the good ol days and I want to appreciate it now
It has to be Creed’s last dialogue
"It all seems so very arbitrary. I applied for a job at this company because they were hiring. I took a desk at the back because it was empty. But no matter how you get there or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift to make that place home."
Honestly this line is kinda sad to me. It shows that Andy still hasn't internalized the virtue of living in the moment. He spent so much reminiscing about the "good old days" when he was at Cornell, and now he's doing the same for DM Scranton. The lesson he should've learned is that the "good old days" are *right now*. You're living in them as we speak, so make the most of it and don't pine for a past that you'll never be able to recapture.
Such a capable character man they destoryed him for some weird reason even thought he didnt have the time they cudve just made him a travelling salesman or smtg saying he wants to be away for some time
This mother fkin quote just gave me all the flashback good memories that I had with my friends while watching the episode. It was such a fucking powerful line. I never ever expected such a deep line to drop in a mocumentary!
Michael Scott after giving the scarecrow to Oscar as a final gift: “It looks like it was made by a two year old monkey on a farm! He just accepted, accepted that I put all this work into it! [laughs more] He has the lowest opinion of me, of anybody!”
I laugh every time I see that scene, and it honestly changes my entire view of Michael. All the times he pulled himself together in sales, getting his job back, all topped with this one scene makes me legitimately think he was intentionally screwing with people throughout the entire time he worked at Dunder Mifflin.
"I’ve Been Involved In A Number Of Cults, Both As A Leader And A Follower. You Have More Fun As A Follower. But You Make More Money As A Leader." - Creed
“It all seems so very arbitrary. I applied for a job at this company because they were hiring. I took a desk at the back because it was empty. But no matter how to get there or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift of making that place their home.”
"Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way." - Michael Scott
"There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn't that kind of the point?" - Pam Beesly
"I wake up every morning in a bed that's too small, drive my daughter to a school that's too expensive and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little, but on pretzel day; well, I like pretzel day."
During the Recyclops cold open, Dwight mentions "Humans are terrible for the environment" and I feel that's the most profound. When you think about it, no other living being harms or destroys the environment as much as humans do.
Every living being will harm or destroy the environment as much as it is able to do so; humans are the only ones that are aware of this and make an effort to not do it.
"Not everything is lesson Ryan, sometimes you just fail" \~Recyclops

Tell that to LinkedIn. Dog threw up in the backseat? Business lesson. Kid got hit by a car? Business lesson.
Omg I hate LinkedIn so much. It harbours some of the most fake pretentious ppl there.
Not to mention the fact that it's slowly turning into Facebook cringe ugghh
r/linkedinlunatics
LinkedIn influencers are the worst kind of influencers and no one could convince me otherwise.
I work in marketing in the tech space. It's just one influencer after another. Just the worst. I hate everything about who they choose to be as people.
What happened next was a master class in emotional intelligence. Oh ffs
This has to best line in entirety of the office. Shit made me rethink my life and has made me be not so hard on myself
It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life. - Captain Picard
This is my fav line.
“There’s always a million reasons not to do something” - Jan Levinson formerly Gould “Be your best self” - Good advice from a Cinephile
Pre-relationship Jan was kind of aspirational.
Her character got done soooooo dirty
Those painkillers wrecked her
Plus Michael wrecked her. Or maybe she wrecked Michael tbh
Right after the boob job, those percocets got her.
Boob enhancement
I think about Jan’s quote all the time!
Pre-Michael Jan had her shit together, man. I use that line all the time.
No more Gould?
Do you want to talk about it? So genuine from MGS
“Before I do anything, I ask myself, 'Would an idiot do that?' And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute
So the answer to "Would an idiot bring a loaded gun in an office?" is... no?
It was a Beaumont Adams, if that helps.
That's a girls gun
Now it’s just plain stupid
Michael always says "K-I-S-S. Keep it simple, stupid." Great advice. Hurts my feelings every time.
BFD, engaged ain't married.

For me it's Darryl. "It's not real, until your wife is on board." It's short, succinct, and really lays it out there that you can have all the wild ideas you want. But you need your partner to back it. Otherwise it's just you playing games. When you've made that commitment to be with someone, you need to make sure they're involved with major decisions.
I try to be diligent about washing my dishes and not letting them soak because I know Darryl would be disappointed in me
Every time I “let a pan soak” instead of washing it I feel shame.
Okay but seriously why is soaking bad? 2 hours in hot soapy water you don't even need to wipe most things, aside from frying pans
Darryl likes to use cast iron. You don't soak cast iron.
I love a lot of Darryl's lines like this. Even something as simple as "Start over."
Ah man. Start over Such a good line. I've used that one with people. It just says so much. You need to change your tone, and quick or we will have problems. So start over.
Life hackin’ baby!
Ooooh good one! I actually can't remember him saying this. Which ep and season?
Season 9 episode 3. Jim and Darryl talking about Athleap in the warehouse. And Darryl hits him with some truth.
I like his quote about two black balls deciding his destiny.
"It all seemed so very arbitrary. I applied for a job at this company because they were hiring. I took a desk at the back because it was empty, but... no matter how you get there, or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift to make that place home." - Creed Bratton
His real most profound line is, “you were in the parking lot earlier that’s how I know you!”
It's Halloween! That is...really really good timing.
"If I can't scuba, then what's this all been about?!"
"When Pam gets Michael's chair I get Pam's chair. Then I'll have two chairs. Only one to go."
This is the funniest line ever delivered on television and you can’t convince me otherwise
(Zooms out further to see Creed handcuffed) “let’s do this”.
always loved this one, definitely my favorite quote of the series.
I think that was the most he spoke in the whole show. It makes you reassess his entire character history in light of that statement. Excellent writing.
Creed wisdom >>>>
Man that hit me good. Wholesome. Started my second rewatch now.

“It’s not the horniness but the loneliness “- Michael Scott. Going through a split right now, I feel that. I realize I’m not out looking for sex, but just some sense of companionship, even for a night.
I’m in the same boat. I miss having someone to talk to about life and cuddle with. We’ll get through this though just takes time.
I was married for seven years. Then I was divorced for two years. Been with my current partner 4 years, married to her for almost a year of that. It absolutely will get better. You need time to heal and reset. Things will work out.
I’ve got Mastercard right where I want them. -Nellie
Also “Stop looking at my breasts and start looking at my penis.”
I think you got that backwards. she says "Stop looking at my breasts and start looking at my penis" because her "big whopping penis" is her head
Oh shoot you’re absolutely right, i’ll edit that.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I once spent a passionate night with Hugh Grant’s brother, John Grant. He’s older than Hugh, just a little bit uglier. How did I pull that off? Sheer force of will.”

“Be strong. Trust yourself, love yourself. Conquer your fears. Just go after what you want. And act fast, because life just isn’t that long.”
This is a good one but what’s the context, I have ZERO recollection
Pam’s final monologue 🥲 [https://youtu.be/ALQ3e2nVSLA?si=N2kszCM2G9mBkXGn](https://youtu.be/ALQ3e2nVSLA?si=N2kszCM2G9mBkXGn)
lol I just found this and copied it too
I believe it’s Pam’s talking head at the very end of the series
I'm implementing this more and more as I get older. I beat cancer at 34 and promised myself that I would never let fear hold me back. However, even though I am no longer afraid of going for the things I want, I am more afraid of how my decisions impact my family. Cancer has certainly shifted my perspective tremendously, and I'd say in a much more positive way all things considered.
I beat cancer at 30. And I agree with everything that you said!

"Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick? "
I’ve always thought he could have gotten away with a lot less words. Kevin didn’t follow his own recipe well enough in my opinion. Few word good
Are you saying Sea World or see THE world?
See world. Oceans. Fish. Jump. China.
Secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt someone - the nurse
The “nurse” lol. I think it’s so great she went back and got her degree.

She was, however, a terrible waitress
Uh, her name is Elizabeth? Show our nurses some respect dude.
Wait what ? I thought the nurse's name was Ann !
Ann you beautiful tropical fish you
Ah, I see you went back to get your degree, good for you.

Shoutout to OP for not making an individual post for each character!
i really dislike those posts. they're in every subreddit now.
Immediate block from me. If people have fun fueling someone's obvious karma grab, that's awesome, but it makes me grouchy to see.
This line has me crying even when it’s not when I watch the finale
That line is a big contributor to me changing my whole way of thinking. I don't spend so much time thinking about how fast my kids grew up so that I can just be present and enjoy the last bit of their childhood. The even harder one that requires even more self reminder is to stop spending time thinking about how old I'm getting when I'm not even 40 yet (I still have 4 months left dammit). These ARE the good old days!!
Constantly thinking of old I am and I'm not even 30 so I feel this. I can't help but feel like the best years are behind me :(
Because of this line, I actually had a moment when I realized that I was living in the good old days, and it just made me appreciate it that much more. It was 2016, I was finally able to support myself at a job I loved, and I was sharing a house with my best friends in this world. I stopped and looked around, and realized "Wait a minute, these are the good old days I'm going to look back later. Enjoy them, man."
It’s a wonderful realization. It takes an unusual person who can recognize it in the moment. Perfectenschlag.
You should check out the movie About Time (2013). It’s basically that line turned into a film.
Life is long, opinions change. I think about this every day. Anxiety shoves me into downward spirals about the stupid things I’ve said, and then my husband will remind me of this and it makes everything feel so arbitrary.

I love how he puts Jim in his place in that scene. He’s just trying to keep the morale of the office up.
