Do you agree with the ranking?
yes
Niagara is definitely the best But usually the episodes outside the office are more special. However the episode with the investment banker is really underrated, where they sum up the best scenes😂
Niagara made me cry
"Threat Level Midnight" makes the list (ahead of "Casino Night" and "Goodbye, Michael," no less), but "Booze Cruise," "Beach Games," or "The Job" are nowhere to be found? Most of the rest of the list is actually very solid _(thank_ you for not forgetting "The Client" and especially "Business School"), but... come on, what happened there?!
@@rickyayy every time I see it. Cry.
michael showing up to pam’s art show is one of the greatest micheal ever did because it showed how much he cares about his employees
About his friends I would say, they're not just employees to him and that's why he's like that
They are his family... except for Toby, who is not even part of his own family cause he's divorced.
totally agree, but it's not only that! what Oscar's partner rejected as being not "real" art because it was too mundane, Michael saw as a profound expression of the beauty of their work. Their jobs are important because their products allow art. Pam's painting both captured and demonstrated the value of its subject. It is true art--and Michael's (unwitting?) ability to recognize this is what makes this one of his greatest moments.
Except hr. He hates any hr lololol
@@supertarzan12well, i would not say he hates ALL the HRs ; )
Jim saying goodbye to Michael will always make me teary eyed.
It’s even worse when you find out that was the final scene they shot with Steve
what about the words of advice on love he gave to Dwight?
I literally cried during that scene. 😭
@@jorgelazaro6833 Why? Why have you got to do this to me? 😭
That was John saying goodbye to Steve.
Michael really did care about his employees in his own goofy silly way.
except toby.
@@allenpressley6946 He cared about Toby's unwellness
The dialogue “ She is more than a friend, a coworker “ clearly indicates that 😁
@@allenpressley6946toby wasn’t his employee, HR is corporate’s employer
@@the_viral_catclearly never seen the episode with Tom in accounting
Per the KZhead comment section, it should be The Fire. Because, at least every video, someone has to remind everyone that Ryan started the fire.
Who started the fire?
Madge
@@nix2939 I thought your name was pudge
@@qfox16789 No, it's always been Madge
every single video!
"The Client" has a really important moment where it is clear that Michael IS a good salesman. That there is a reason why he was singled out to be manager (though he probably made a better salesman than manager). Similarly, the later episode where Jim and Dwight go on a call together and they show a routine they have come up with demonstrating the differences in customer service. As fun as incompetence can be, every now and then the show needs to show why Dunder Mifflin still exists and continues.
There are many other examples of how good salesman Michael is. The client, pretzel episode, sales convention, and MSPC.
Well said!
Love your comment. What a great show! My daughter and I are Rewatching it again for the umpteenth time.
They are awesome! US office did well because they praised the “Nobody “
@@shanewatson9850 so awesome! I don’t know how many more times I’m going to watch it, but it’s so freaking good!
Interesting how No. 10 in this list is the establishment of the relationship between Michael and Jan, and No. 9 is the climax (that's what she said) of their relationship.
😂😂😂
Hahahahaha
I think 10 is important because it really shows Michael’s skills at sales.
@@bostonphotographer20and rizzing skills
Pam's painting and Michael's Goodbye are the top 2 most touching/emotional moments in the series. Fight me if you think I'm wrong.
13:08 "Chunky" Glorious.
The wedding always gets me
I had to fast forward Mike leaving.. can’t be crying at work
What about when Kevin drops the chili?
Where are we fighting?
The fact that Steve Carrell wrote the most intense Jim-Pam moment is incredible.
Which?

@@Himbeertortee ahhh okay
1:28 = 11 See how many times you hear 11 or numbers happen to add up to 11. Or not !
There are just soooo many great episodes throughout the nine seasons...I personally would also add "The Job" which is the season 3 finale. Who wasn't touched seeing Jim walking out of Corporate driving to Scranton and seeing teary eyed Pam asked "I'm sorry what was the question"
I watch that scene over and over!!
Love it!!❤
I legit shed a tear when Michael says "Its going to feel sooo good getting this thing off my chest" because this is my first time realizing in all the years Ive watched the show that you can faintly hear him say "Thats what she said."
Same dude
Bro same
Same, took me 1,000 replays to finally figure it out.
What?! They weren’t even trying to hide that! Everyone knew right away…haha!
I legit missed that until now. Utter shocked face.
Business school episode has a really good scene where Michael told Ryan that "A good manager hires people, he encourages them. He doesn't fire people, People Ryan. And people will never go out of business." such a good scene showing that Michael is a good man looking out for his employees and not just in it for the money or position.
In Threat Level Midnight, you can faintly hear the villain describing the worst boss in the world - a man who only cares about making money
Let's give some credit to the awesome writers: 10. The Client - Paul Lieberstein 09. Dinner Party - Gene Stupnitsky & Lee Eisenberg 08. Pilot - Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant & Greg Daniels 07. Casino Night - Steve Carell 06. Business School - Brent Forester 05. Goodbye Michael - Greg Daniel's 04. Threat Level Midnight - B. J. Novak 03. The Dundies - Mindy Kaling 02. Goodbye Toby - Jennifer Celotta & Paul Lieberstein 01. Niagara - Greg Daniels & Mindy Kaling
Excuse me, Threat Level Midnight was written, and starring, Michael Scott.
I didn't know Casino Night was written by Steve Carell. It makes so much sense now 😂😂
Wow I didn’t realize there are so many different writers! Yes I realize this is probably stupid lol. It’s just that I’ve never thought about it before
and also, kelly was a writer?
@@marnoi8754 She wrote many episodes, i think she was one of the major writers if we can say that
#5 is so special. It's not about Michael Scott saying goodbye to Scranton, it's more about Steve Carell saying goodbye to cast of The Office. Everybody knew Steve wanted to stay, but the producers said otherwise. That is the true heartbreaker.
Did he want to stay? Why did the showrunners want him out? I thought he chose to leave, for fear of being stuck in the role and always typecast as "Michael Scott."
@@brittaxX Michael and his agent kept asking the studio for a discussion to renew his contract but they never responded. Apparently, one of the heads of the network wasn’t an Office fan.
Actually his underpants was consumed by a large dinosaur, Steve Carell is still hunting the dino to this day.
@@jan12491 were you high on acid when you wrote that?
@@jan12491 Lmao wtf
This cast has some of the best chemistry I’ve seen. I’ll never get tired of watching it
they feel almost like family 😐
Hands down the best television show EVER!
10 years later and some of these moments can still make me tear up
yes. this show and these characters... it was a very touching show.
Pam's drunkenness was award-winning. Her screams were organically over-the-top and hilarious.
And it set the tone for the rest of The Dundies.
Michael showing up to Pam's art show ALWAYS gets to me... what a perfect example of his character
Pam-casso!
#10 - Michael shows his sales chops and why he was such a good salesman.
I love that episode, it really shows why he got promoted. (For better or worse)
this episode's great because of the sheer depth it adds to his character. where before he's only ever been a bumbling nit, the audience now gets to see that he's actually a man of impeccable talent, and that his incompetence is the product of being inappropriately promoted to a position irrelevant to his skillset
I always cry the most at goodbye michael. Just can't get through the pain!!
it's too much 🥹
Yeah , I stopped watching show after that
I couldn't take it.
Made me cry.
The way Jan's smile glows when Michael closes the deal.
Have watched Office so many times but it hit me today that Christian from "the Client" is actually the friendly Cannibal Caleb from Brooklyn99 😂
He’s also the principal in mean girls
@@Love49erzhes also the guidance counselor from The Goldberg.
The Ladies Man! 🕺🏾 He was on SNL for 10 yrs ..Tim Meadows!
@@PersephoneRising333 "Yeth, I am the Ladieth Man. Tonight, me and thith girl right here, will be having dinner and a movie. and by dinner, i mean having thex. and by movie, i mean, we'll be video tapin' it"
Michael was an idiot, a genius, a friend and an enemy all at the same time
I always cry at the wedding scene. Jim finally got her. After all these years.
28:30 - Jim's Plan A always gets me. I feel it, it is written good, delivered good - and when I say delivered, it has been delivered up to that episode since the tv show started. It was such a good built up :)
I feel like all my kids grew up and then they married each other. It's every parent’s dream!
I understand what you are trying to convey here, but it really seems like you are supporting incest here 😭
Any episode where Michael is an actual boss is an important episode. Also, him waving off Jan in The Client is a total stud move.
goddd i can’t believe i forgot how great Casino Night was that was honestly an incredible moment for the show. the way they set up that whole love story plot within it is just outstanding and I MISS THE OFFICE ON NETFLIX 🥺
Peacock honestly made it 10x better with all the deleted scenes
@@benji.1130 yeah must be nice having access to those, I remember before The Office was on Peacock there was a KZhead channel by the name of Orion Cramer, and it had uploaded every deleted scene bits for anyone to watch. I remember binging those videos because I was able to enjoy basically new content that i’ve never seen since I had rewatched the show many times already. It wasn’t long before this channel had to unfortunately get taken down, since Peacock/ NBC were about to make the big move with the show.
Yo ho
Michael's moment buying Pam's painting is really well written and really beautiful.
Pam standing up on her toes when she hugs Michael is just perfect. He never brings himself down to hug her. She always brings herself up to hug him.
What a contrast it was on the show's atmosphere between The Pilot and The Goodbye Michael episodes. Never would've guessed it would end this way
Michael is literally their dad. Makes bad jokes and tries to be friends with them, but no matter what he is always there for them.
In Goodbye Toby, Michael thought Toby leaving was the only good thing to happen that day. But instead, two great things happened. Toby was leaving AND he met Holly (he’s soul mate and future wife)
I hope some day in the future they release an “Office Movie” but it turns out to be a full-length feature film of “Threat Level Midnight 2” with the whole cast.
The jello joke always frustrates me when the pudding pun was RIGHT THERE "Jim, you've got to stop PUDDING dwight's stuff in Jello!
Michael appreciating Pam for her art was really heartwarming ❤️
I love Dwight’s single second of comfort with the shoulder touch 🤣
Safety training is one of the best episodes ever in Sitcom history guyss!!
Jan's smile at the end of the deal at Chilis was nice.
The Dundies is the episode where I totally fell in love with the series and decided to watch it to the end.
How can I Explain it? 🌶️
Great list. Beach Games is pretty important to some key character arcs imo. Pam decides to be more assertive and basically declares her love for Jim and turns his head, the position at corporate opens up which sets the ball rolling on Ryan's slide into drugs and ego-mania.. and back
They really did need to show Michael as a competent salesman
Really loved that episode. Shows that he works hard as much as he plays hard
Just a friendly reminder that Ryan started the fire
277 of the same comment and counting.
O dang appreciate the info 👍
Casino Night should be Nummer 1, best Episode in my Opinion.
3:05 When Michael signals to Jan that they should let Christian talk instead of Jan reinforcing what Michael had previously said, you begin to learn that behind the enthusiasm and playful cheer of Michael’s stratagem is a calculated and interpersonal approach to getting the buyers’ business. Love that moment in that episode.
Jim and Pams wedding had me in tears 😢 Jim's goodbye to Michael also has me in tears. The Office is hands down the best tv series going.
The airport scene between Michael and Pam gets me every time.
17:00 I’m so glad she actually at least got to say goodbye though 😭😭
Oh, man, this is a hard list, and I agree with almost all of them - I would take out "Threat Level Midnight" in favor of "Beach Games" (mainly for Pam's development and speech at the end, directly stemming from Oscar and Gil's criticism from "Business School") OR "The Job" (for the Michael/Jan shenanigans and then the ending scene with Jim and Pam and that amazing smile it ends on, plus the bonus of Ryan getting the corporate job) OR "Booze Cruise" (again, revolving around Jim and Pam, but also with Jim taking Michael into his confidence and Michael's "never give up" advice). I agree that "Threat Level Midnight" is important to show Michael's developing self-awareness, but I think that's minor in comparison to these other three. I'd probably also take out "Niagara" in favor of one of those three, as well. BUT I agree wholeheartedly on the rest, and honestly this is a hard list to compile, so kudos.
Literally my thoughts exactly, down to the specific choices of which episodes to excise and which to substitute in their place. 😅 I'd call it spooky, but really I think it just speaks to how uncontestable the importance of the episodes that were left out is.
Stanley dancing always makes my heart so happy
I just realized how significant it was that Michael boxed Jim’s name before crossing it out on the goodbye list. I know it’s self explanatory but I just found it so sweet that Michael specifically boxed Jim’s name on the paper
"We should make a signal in case one of us gets into trouble" "What kind of trouble are you planning on getting into micheal?" Painfully realistic
just saying this, something i noticed the first time i saw the office, is when jim declares to pam, she says "i cant", not i dont, she doesnt actually repulse him, she just cant be with him because she's engaged and cant go back
The Office was such a good series. I still get goosebumps even watching the episodes today by how good they are. The Office will always be in my heart ❤
I've re watched the Office so many times and still laugh, and cry. What a great show and actors
Niagara was seriously one of the most feel good episodes. Seeing all the characters interact in ways they never did before. Mainly their dancing down the aisle. Kevin and Oscar robot dancing is amazing. Phyllis and Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration dancing as an already married couple adds a lot. Also the other day at work this lady made a TWSS joke and I felt like Michael that time he left Jim in charge of the office and Jim made a TWSS joke to him when he came back and was like "oh hey!" IIRC it was the Survivor Man episode bc Michael was wearing Dwight's BG sweatshirt.
I appreciate how you made sure to type out Bob's full name and his business because I read it in his voice 😂😂
BEST. UPLOAD. EVER. Seriously guys, y'all never cease to amaze me. This show has been off for a decade, but in all that time, you've managed to produce videos that have kept it relevant and entertaining. This video is by far, IMHO, one of the BEST you've uploaded. I hope you keep doing this for years to come. Thank you all for such dedication to a GREAT show, and thank you all for the entertainment through the years. I look forward to many more. ❤
When Jim says "Plan A was marrying her a long long time ago" you can feel all the pain he went through at the same time as being happy that they eventually made it
11:35 - My favourite scene in the entire show.
Pam's genuinely excited reaction for winning that dundie is so cute
I love the way Pam looks at Jim when they’re getting on the boat.
The way Jim showed up in that office when Pam was on the phone with her mum was on some final fight villain moment. Love it.
#4 is my favourite episode. It's when Michael really learns how to be happy. Until then he was a man wracked with confidence issues, he had an overwhelming desire to be impress people, and thus tried way too hard to make people like him. In that episode he finally learns to let go of all of that baggage. He sees his movie for what it is, a really dumb one, but also one that he enjoyed making with his friends. Even though it's bad he sees everyone seem to enjoy it, so he enjoys it too. He laughs at the dumb parts, he casually applauds with the others, he laughs at his own mistakes from writing the movie. He's finally learned how to be happy. He finally fits in.
Chillis baby back ribs 😂😂
Classic
Jim and Michael's goodbye and Michael and Pam moment in Business School always gets me. 😭😭😭
Jim and Michael’s goodbye moment gets me, and the wedding scene in Niagara, I swear for a second I forget that I’m watching a sitcom, but instead watching a group of friends making their friends special day unforgettable, especially the end when they all come down the isle, in unison, with Michael leading the way….forever classic!!!
The writing, the directing, its crazy. I am in love with all these characters. its all beautiful.
The deposition followed by the dinner party is as good an hour as the office ever had
As a lover of both the UK and US versions...I've never been able to make it through the US pilot. So glad they went their own way with the premise in the end.
nothing ever will be better than this show it is the best that happened to younger version of me , it made me realize that life was the easiest it could ever be , it showed me that things do work out sometimes , i learnt that sometimes friends are the only thing you ve got
Jim's tear... That scene has to be a big reason why he ended up becoming a massive Hollywood actor. Also, it's so sweet to see how both Steve and John are actually crying and not acting at 14:30
No other comedy series can make me cry just as easily as it can make me laugh. The Office has such light and shade, i love it.
Amazing how these clips can still make me cry even after all of the years and viewings.
I loved The Dinner Party because I recognized it as a tribute to, and I'm guessing inspired by, the movie Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and because it was simultaneously funny and very dark.
Also the title was originally gonna be Who's Afraid of Jan Levinson too

@@dijostothat's not fair comparing a masterpiece to Jim's work lol
When Michael said he was proud of Pam was my favorite moment in the whole series.
The fact that Phyllis looks much younger at the end of the serie than in the pilot, is it because of Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration?
Being married to the local mob boss has its benefits
Michael appreciating Pam’s painting of her art is so cool. 😊
I lovvvvveeee this!!!! Especially "Niagara"❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks so much for the compilation.
Threat Level Midnight is the best episode ever
yessssss
Oo you forgot about the best man scene in Dwight's wedding when Michael reappears. That moment brings tear to my eyes even when he said "Thats what she said"
3:35 you know i have soft teeth how could you say that😭😭😭
Casino Night was the first episode I had ever watched of The Office when it originally aired. I remember being super impressed by this scene in particular. John and Jenna’s acting was top notch. It’s what got me watching the whole series!
Niagara, goodbye Michael, and finale will always be the most emotional
17:08 Her tip toes 😭 literal dad and daughter right here (do not look back at all the things he’s said to her in the past 💀)
Thank you for putting Goodbye Michael in the middle so I had time to recover.
11:38 The fact he drove all the way out there to support Pam and her interests 😭
28:06 Whenever I watch that scene I love Randy Cordray's face. He looks like a proud dad :D (and he should be proud, he made all of this happen!)
Thank you for uploading these
As a kid that always drew in class, went to art school, and spent my 20s curating shows being in group shows cause I could never land a solo. The art show with Pam is so accurate I tear up every time. Everyone you know is verbally supportive of you. Family, significant others, and really kind coworker/acquaintances will actually show up. But it’s someone you really didn’t expect to show up is the person who really appreciates what you’ve done, and then they buy it and hang it. Openings make you so emotionally vulnerable, then you have to play it off and small talk or stand next to your work trying to look casual. When somebody actually spends time digesting your work and talks with you about it… that’s one of the few times in life you feel loved and understood. Even if its a split second. Because majority of people don’t take you seriously, and try to steer you to a more logical direction, but they don’t understand when you’re devoted to something and reveal so much of yourself, anything else is soul crushing and rob you of a purpose or desire to exist. So somebody actually giving you credit and respect along with validation is a breath of fresh air. Your eyes do swell and you do want to hug them. My favorite scene in the series.
18:38 😭 he’s self aware LMAOOOO but it’s actually really good I swear
The mood whiplash going from Goodbye Michael to Threat level Midnight is intense.
Thank you for acknowledging “Business School”! Even though Pam did eventually sow more courage towards the end of the season, this is the episode that really planted that seed.
the immediate cut from Jan smiling in The Client, to the Dinner Party episode, perfect editing for the youtube vid!
The tongue pop from the Chilis manager 💀
Thanks for the memories. My favorite show!
Man this was just such an awesome show. Pretty sure this is my favorite show of all time. I loved Seinfeld. And I've enjoyed P&R and a few other shows through the years. But this is like a part of my life. ❤
didn't know I'm going to cry at the end of a KZhead video, man I love the office so fucking much :')
This was honestly one of my favorite episodes and one of the funniest “thats what she said” i die from laughter everytime i watch it
Why did you do this to me KZhead Algorithm ...................now I gotta binge The office again
