30 Memes and GIFs from The Office That Are So Funny, You'll Drop Your Chili
"I love inside jokes. I'd love to be a part of one someday."
The Office aired on NBC from 2005 to 2013, yet it’s still, perhaps more, popular today. From the Dundies to Michael Scott shouting “That’s what she said!” or burning his foot on a George Foreman grill, The Office is behind so many jokes that have aged like a fine wine with an oaky afterbirth.
Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott, the “World’s Best Boss” at Dunder Mifflin paper company, told NBC Insider it’s a “miraculous thing” how The Office has continued to stay relevant with a growing fan base.

“I think it’s funny how young people are when they first start watching The Office, which was always a surprise to me because I never thought it would be appealing to a younger audience,” Carell said. "But I think part of it is that each of the characters is an archetype that can be translated to, like, people that they know in school, you know? There's sort of the jock, there's kind of the cheerleader, the pretty one, there's the kind of the weirdo in the corner, but they're all people that you can identify with — whether you've ever worked in an office or whether you've just associated with these people in school.”
“Those characters are somehow relatable to young and old,” Carell added. “And then you grow up and you pass your love of this show to your younger siblings and then they start to like it.” Indeed, even stars on the show like Angela Kinsey have introduced their kids to The Office.
How can you watch The Office?
You can stream all nine seasons of The Office on Peacock. NBC’s streaming platform also has Seasons 1 through 7 of The Office “Superfan Episodes” collection, featuring extended cuts and unaired footage.
