The 10 Best Jim Halpert Pranks On Dwight Shrute

Movies N Mayhem

Working at a mid-range paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania definitely has its perks.

If you don’t already love Jim Halpert (how can you not love Jim Halpert???), here’s some of his best pranks on beet-loving, Battlestar Galactica enthusiast, Dwight K. Shrute.

1. The classic stapler stuck in Jell-O.

You can’t really go wrong with this one. It’s an absolute classic. This is where we first start to see what Jim is capable of. It made for a memorable pilot episode, and left us craving more!

2. When Jim moved Dwight’s desk into the men’s bathroom.

I mean come on, that’s GENIUS. Jim even played it off by saying “You’re the one who lost your desk.”

3. When Jim put all of Dwight’s belongings into the vending machine.

4. When Jim sent faxes to Dwight from “Future Dwight” using Dwight’s stationary.

“Dwight. At 8 AM today someone poisons the coffee. Do not drink the coffee. More instructions will follow. Cordially, Future Dwight.”

5. When Jim recreated Dwight’s outfit (for $11) and impersonated him.

“Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.”

6. When Jim wrapped Dwight’s desk in wrapping paper, only to later find out the desk was just cardboard.

Jim has way too much time on his hands with a prank like that. You can’t even get me to wrap Christmas presents in a reasonable amount of time.

7. When Jim got a dog dressed like Dwight to sit at Dwight’s desk.

8. When Jim tricked Dwight that he was murdered in a hotel room.

With a suitcase full of money, “IT WAS DWIGHT” written on the wall, and Jim’s seemingly dead body falling out of a closet, this has got to be one of Jim’s best pranks.

9. When Jim hired his actor friend Steve to pretend to be Jim. And when Pam went along with it.

Jim even went as far as telling Steve his sales history and phone password. He also got Pam to take professional pictures with Steve and two Asian children to frame on his desk. Jim Halpert is the king of taking things too far.

10. When he told Dwight he couldn’t be his bestest mensch – and got Michael to come instead.

Jim’s not totally insensitive to Dwight’s feelings. He called in Michael (who’d been missing for two seasons) to come to Dwight’s wedding. “Best. Prank. Ever.”

Jim Halpert and Dwight Shrute are definitely the most iconic frenemies to exist in television history.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Illistrated image of people crowded with banners to support a cause

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

2376

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Adulting

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

1085

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
