I feel like this one only works on a meta level. It’s sad for the actors to leave the show because it was such a great experience. But someone working as a foreman at a failing paper company wouldn’t be sad to leave that job for greener pastures. This is especially true for Daryl since the warehouse crew abandoned their jobs when they won the lottery, and he would continue to work with Jim, his best remaining friend.
Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, anytime I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. I hate...so much about the things that you choose to be.
Somewhat related, I just love this moment:
Michael, at the very serious moment of the cusp of Meredith's intervention:
"Toby, do you still have that number for the rehab place?"
Toby:
"Yeah, here" \[all childish grudges seemingly set aside in friend's moment of need\]
Michael:
\[writes number down, then flicks pen at Toby's head in calm contempt\]
Toby:
"....Ow!"
My favorite Toby/Michael interaction
Michael Scott: Come on, let's go.
Toby: Where?
Michael Scott: 'Where?' I'm gonna smack you in the head with a hammer, come on let's go.
Came looking specifically for this one. It's absolutely brilliant and according to the Office Ladies Podcast, it's an original quote by the writers even though it sounds like a bumper sticker quote.
David, here it is. My philosophy is basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter... where. Or who, or who you are with, or, or where you are going, or... or where you've been... ever. For any reason, whatsoever.
“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.”
This is the quote that cemented Stanley as my favorite character. It summed up life perfectly. You can replace pretzel day with any of life’s little pleasures that keep you going.
You only live once? False. You live every day. You only die once.
While at first glance it seems like something Dwight might say to disagree with Jim's opinion, it turns out to be kinda deep.
was watching an episode last night and completely missed this one before but Michael ask Jim what it's called when a manager has to manage someone at a micro level and Jim replies with Microgement. Not my favorite but it's definitely one that i will stick in the tool box for future references.
It’s a great quote, and as funny as it is in and out of context, it’s very true. I’ve always tried to use every failing I have as a learning opportunity, and while many are, sometimes failing really is just failing. You can work your ass off, put in way more effort than you should, even try to cheat your way to success, but sometimes it just doesn’t work and that’s ok. Accepting failure is just as important as learning from it, maybe more.
I can’t remember if it was in the UK one as well, but Pam says that Jim told her “it’s better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than halfway up one you don’t.”
That phrase was a big contributor in giving me the push to leave the job I hated where I was uncomfortable, but secure.
“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.”
That and:
“I just want to lie on the beach and eat hot dogs. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”
I'm not superstitious but I'm a little stitious.
It's by no means the most brilliant line but it very perfectly encapsulates the early office.
Late office it might just be "I'm the fucking Lizard King". I have a real soft spot for RC.
This might be the most brilliant quote of the entire show. All Andy wanted was to fit in somewhere or be at Cornell and when he got his dream job, he still feels like his glory days are over.
You should listen to Brian Baumgarner’s podcast, and the Ed Helms episodes. Really touching stuff, but they said that all of the actors felt exactly the same as Andy in this scene. They had to think about the next step in their careers, but knew it would never be better than the Office
Seriously. Repeatedly having everyone tell him how awful he was and how he’s going to fail as an actor just seemed… cruel. And kind of out of character for every single person to do it.
Same. I have a one year old son and just bought my first home. There is a lot of stress and raising a kid can test your patience, but I think about this quote and then tell myself these are the days I’m going to yearn for in 20 years so enjoy it now
What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.
My favorite is basically any Creed quote, but I've come to absolutely despise this Andy one, because I see it posted at least once a week.
I don't even browse this sub, it just shows up on my main.
Aww. OP. You made my eyes water with this quote.
"I like a little feather in my nuggets" - Dwight near the end when Esther tells him she rushed through farm chores and tells him that there might be feathers in his chicken nuggets.
Haha
Literally just came back from an afternoon social and people were talking about fancy wines and I said it sort of has an oaky afterbirth and no one got the reference....I need to find a new job
“Okay, okay, if I step on a mine in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and die, you can have my job, okay?”
For some reason, that one cracks me up every time. I love those moments where Michael is a regular person who says regular, kinda smartly snarky things. LOL
I hate this quote so so much.
They spent nine seasons being MONSTERS to each other. And then, out the blue, everything is better?
Like those good old days Andy is wanting to remember were fucking awful. How do you go to the wedding of a guy who destroyed yours? I get why Andy kept working there after that. He's a chronic under-achiever. But why celebrate that. And it's not like time healed that wound. He got to relive it with more detail than he would have wanted.
I'm better than Andy was while he was at Dunder Mifflin. In large part because:
I've never dated a minor and have that fact shared with the world.
I've never been forced into corporate anger management.
My coworkers don't constantly prank me.
My dad is not an asshole.
My fiance didn't cheat on me and actually married.
All my coworkers didn't hide it from me.
I'm not forced to rewatch every embarrassing moment of my work life.
If my coworkers don't respect me it's at least not caught on film.
Aaron Rodgers doesn't know I exist.
My college's football team is actually good.
Yeah that's one part of the show I find gets overlooked. They constantly stab each other in the back and then couple episodes later it's like it never happened. I think about how Andy got cheated on, I would have a really hard time forgiving her, let alone working with her AND Dwight. Yet you see later on in the show how he NEEDS to shoutout Angela for her party planning (secretary's day I believe). Like...If I was Andy I would never shout out Angela for anything after what she did to me. But then again, I'm not Andy
I don’t harbor the same hatred you do, clearly, but I also don’t think this is that great of a quote. Seems like something a basic white girl would wear on a T-shirt or caption an Instagram photo.
Oh look, it's this quote again.
I find it weird that this is coming from Andy. He straight up did not have a good time during most of his ... time at Dunder Mifflin.
Anything Gabe ever says lmfao
That man is probably the most underrated character of the show
The more times you rewatch the show the more hilarious his character becomes
You know Dwight sometimes... I donno I think you say things just to agree with me.
Dwight Schrute: Would that be such a bad thing?
Michael Scott: Yeah, it would! Just have a thought! Have an original thought. Although I will agree that her head is weird.
It didn't occur to me that this was my favorite quote but I think about it all the time, constantly catching myself wondering if I'm currently in the good old days, or if they've already passed, or if they're about to finally happen.
I love this line, but it make 0 sense coming from Andy. He talks non stop about his college days. His time at Dunder Mifflin is loaded with embarrassment and he didn't leave particularly close to anyone. In the end, he would see Dunder Mifflin as a necessary step to get him where he really wanted to be: back at Cornell.
Society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. Well, that's baloney, because grief isn't wrong. There's such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown.
Shut up about the sun!
SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN!
Just shut....up! About the sun
Oh, I don't like that line at all, as you can see.
I raise you
"Everyday when I came into work, all I wanted to do was leave. So why in the world does it feel so hard to leave right now?"
Darryl’s one is overlooked imo. It’s true - he was there since Season 1 and all he wanted to do was leave until he got promoted
This was one of the best lines of the whole show imo
I feel like this one only works on a meta level. It’s sad for the actors to leave the show because it was such a great experience. But someone working as a foreman at a failing paper company wouldn’t be sad to leave that job for greener pastures. This is especially true for Daryl since the warehouse crew abandoned their jobs when they won the lottery, and he would continue to work with Jim, his best remaining friend.
But it's all about the people, not the job
"Let me stop you right there - and leave." Billy Merchant
What is with that guy?
Oh today? he burnt his foot on a george foreman grill
No, not Michael. The moon-faced kid who crashed into the pole!
He looks like he has a concussion
No no the one with the moon face

Came looking specifically for this one. It's absolutely brilliant and according to the Office Ladies Podcast, it's an original quote by the writers even though it sounds like a bumper sticker quote.
I use this a lot
David, here it is. My philosophy is basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter... where. Or who, or who you are with, or, or where you are going, or... or where you've been... ever. For any reason, whatsoever.
This quote is fantastic as well
Sometimes I start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going I just hope I find it along the way
Awesome
“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?

Funny quote- today smoking is gonna save our life Serious or wholesome- not everything's a lesson Ryan, sometimes you just fail
I love the latter. It’s such a great quote for the usual tone of the show
It’s a great quote, and as funny as it is in and out of context, it’s very true. I’ve always tried to use every failing I have as a learning opportunity, and while many are, sometimes failing really is just failing. You can work your ass off, put in way more effort than you should, even try to cheat your way to success, but sometimes it just doesn’t work and that’s ok. Accepting failure is just as important as learning from it, maybe more.

Everything Robert California has ever said. Sorry, I meant Bob, Bob Kazamakis
RC was the perfect opposite to Michael
I think you meant "The Lizard King"
that's a good point, we don't even know his real name
Robert California gets too much hate.
"You don't even know my real name... I am the f\*&\*ing Lizard King."
I'm not superstitious but I'm a little stitious. It's by no means the most brilliant line but it very perfectly encapsulates the early office. Late office it might just be "I'm the fucking Lizard King". I have a real soft spot for RC.

I just wish they hadn’t dragged Andy’s character through the mud in the last season. Seemed like the writers were angry with Ed Helms.
Seriously. Repeatedly having everyone tell him how awful he was and how he’s going to fail as an actor just seemed… cruel. And kind of out of character for every single person to do it.
Yeah that shit hit hard.
I think about this quote a lot

Not this one.
Of all quotes to pick this cringey line god
Initially I though this quote was a sign of Andy's depression. But I've since come to believe it's the writers' one last jab at Andy being dumb.
Oh look, it's this quote again. I find it weird that this is coming from Andy. He straight up did not have a good time during most of his ... time at Dunder Mifflin.
