Favorite Scene from the Office

I'm a fan of the original British the office.

I remember one episode where there was some kind of staff training, I think? David pulled out his guitar and started singing and totally derailed the training.

Am I the only one who can't stand that show? I couldn't even make it through one season because it's just so stupid to me.

Faith Murray:

LOL, @Heather MacKenzie! I didn't want to like the show. I considered the humor crude. (I grew up in a family that reveled in word puns and blacklisted shows like the Simpsons and South Park.) But when my friend convinced me to watch an episode or two and I actually recognized one of my coworkers on there, I suddenly appreciated it as an extreme hyperbole of real office dynamics. My husband hasn't gotten into it, though. So I can relate where you're coming from!

I can also see former co-workers in it, but it's just not funny to me! LOL Like you, my family was hugely into wordplay and puns, so I thought I was going to like it.

After a heart health incident (can't remember the malady), Stanley returns to the office. Clearly Stanley finds his boss Michael Scott anxiety producing. First day back, Michael holds some kind of team building exercise that requires him to monitor the heart rate of participants. And of course Michael is very annoying the the exercise is annoying - and when he approaches Stanley with the heart monitor it beeps faster and faster. NO IDEA WHY and this was probably from like an episodes super early on, but the visual of this STILL MAKES me laff. My hubs who DEARLY LOVES the British version and holds it above anything and everything - admits SOME of the American Office is good. So many great actors. The Stanley actor just slays every episode - love him so much.

OMG my husband LOVES the British office - when we started dating he was like you gotta see it!!!!!!!! And it was probably like his twentieth viewing and he was cracking up - I loved it too, but started with the American Office which just kills me there are so many sweet moments of humor - and great actors….but I do admit I almost enjoy hearing my husband die in hysterics whenever David whips out that guitar…

This is also my favorite scene! I could watch this episode a million times and still laugh!
