I think we can all agree that "The Office" (American version) is one of the funniest shows to ever grace our presence.
*SPOILER ALERT* If you did not agree with that first sentence, that means you have not, in fact, seen all nine episodes of "The Office," and if you want to avoid spoilers, stop here.
But more than that it is a show full of characters that, while tickling our funny bones, also manage to teach a few life lessons along the way. Jim Halpert is one of the main characters appearing in all nine glorious seasons and is by far one of my favorite characters. With the exception of Dwight Shrute. Because I mean, come on.
1. Sometimes the simplest things mean the most.
In this episode, Jim proposed to Pam *queue girlish squeals* in front of a gas station, in the rain, after struggling with their long distance relationship while Pam was in art school. Swoon. Thanks for lifting our standards for men with this one, Jim!
2. Some jokes are just classic.
Ahh.. the infamous "Stuff in jello prank." Classic, simple, never not funny.
3. Never do anything half-assed.
"I did not love the dialogue. Or the character. I took the role to impress a receptionist who will remain nameless." — Jim Halpert
"Threat Level Midnight" will always be the film we never wanted to see but probably deserved to see.
4. Sometimes all it takes is a look.
Jim was famous for these looks of concern/disdain/disbelief and they were sometimes the best part of his dialogue.
5. What will be, will be.
Dunder Mifflin, not unlike our own lives, is a place of work, paper sales, and general tom foolery that rarely makes sense. Things happen that should never and there's just nothing you can do about it.
6. Opportunity knocks and you must answer.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right Dwight?
7. If you love someone, they're worth the wait.
After years of pining and mistimed trials, Jim and Pam show us what it's really like to be married to your best friend and thus great the epitome of #relationshipgoals.
