If you are a classic fan of “The Office” (U.S.A.) like I am, the upbeat sound of that piano instantly fixes any negative mood. The theme song for “The Office” relieves stress and no other television show could compare. To make it even better, the show tends to start*most, not all* episodes with a humor-filled scene before the theme song begins. Here are the 14 best opening-scenes of The Office: sure to catch you literally laughing out loud in the eerie quiet of your room.

1. Season 5, Episode 14 "Stress Relief Part 1"

In this overbearingly humorous scene, Dwight stages a fire drill to observe the preparedness of his coworkers. Priorities are put in order as Angela throws her cat to safety while Kevin ransacks the snack machines. As seen in the unforgettable humor of this scene they clearly require training for emergency preparedness.

The fire’s shooting at us!

2. Season 9, Episode 5 “Here Comes Treble”

Getting into the holiday spirit as he does, Dwight shoves a jack-o-lantern on his head. After scaring Erin and being unable to take his head out he realizes this festivity was in bad judgement. No matter what they do to get sever the pumpkin-head issue, Dwight would ultimately be hurt in the process. He is then left reminiscing on the day’s bad decisions and stuck being a jack-o-lantern.

I mean the pumpkin should rot off my head in a month or two. Right?

Bye Stanley, Love you!

5. Season 3 Episode 16 “Phyllis’ Wedding”

Jim cleverly performs a classic Pavlov experiment on Dwight. Everytime he reboots his computer, he offers an altoid to Dwight in tune with the start-up sound. Dwight in response automatically holds his hand out absentmindedly for an altoid, ultimately looking like an idiot as Jim questions his outreached hand.

Dwight what are you doing?

I...I don’t know. My mouth tastes so bad all of a sudden.

The interest ends when Andy’s attempt to jump from “trucks to refrigerators to dumpster..360 onto the pallets, backflip gainer to the trash can” ends in one jump into an empty box.

Extreme! Parkour!

What makes this episode even better is it is not just “one and done” but instead focuses on the happenings of that morning for the entirety, revealing Michael’s ignorance at disabilities and Dwight’s apparent concussion.

Dwight, you forgot your bumper!
