20 Of The Best Quotes From 'The Office'

Everyone has their own TV shows. I watch a decent amount of TV and "The Office" is by far one of my favorite shows. Steve Carell, also known as “Michael Scott,” is the glue of the show and manages the office. I’ve watched episodes multiple times after finishing the entire series. It is impossible for me to rank quotes from this show, but here are 20 of my favorite.

“Just pretend like were talking until the cops leave.”- Creed Bratton

Creed is one of my favorite characters. He keeps to himself but he is hilarious and I absolutely love everything about him. Here, he is disclosing his “troubled’ past.


“If I had a gun and I had two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice.” –Michael Scott

Toby Flenderson offers hardly anything to "The Office." Michael Scott loathes Toby. Michael makes sure that Toby is never included in any meeting, office gatherings, and makes sure he never goes into his office.

“Identity theft is not a joke Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!” –Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight takes the cake as my favorite character in The Office. His tricks and his amazing deception of the people in the office is amazing. He has made me laugh so hard I start to cry.

“I have flaws. What are they? I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I’ll hit somebody with my car.” –Michael Scott

Michael thinks he is a perfect human being. However, hitting Meredith with his car was a very big "flaw."

“Blink once if you want me to pull the plug.” –Dwight K. Schrute

This follows the crash and the group visits Meredith in the hospital. Dwight is trying to get rid of Meredith while everyone shows remorse for Meredith. To Dwight, the office is a game of survivor and at times he wants to get rid of the others.

“DID I STUTTER?” –Stanley Hudson

The workers are in a meeting having a brainstorming session wanting to make a rap. Michael picked on Stanley because he is African-American and he also does not participate in any meetings at all, instead doing his crossword puzzles.

“I’ll be the number two guy here in Scranton in six weeks. How? Name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake. I’m always thinking one step ahead. Like a carpenter that makes stairs.” –Andy Bernard

Mr. Bernard is a self proclaimed graduate of the prestigious Cornell University. He transferred from the Stamford branch and on Day 1 he was ready to be high up in the Scranton branch.

“Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television, North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe, Ryan started the fire!!!” –Dwight K. Schrute

Ryan Howard was an intern early on in his years at The Office. He burnt a cheese pita and then got the nickname "Fire Guy."

“It is true, I’m having a party. I’ve got three cases of imported beer, a karaoke machine, and I didn’t invite Michael. So three ingredients for a great party.” –Jim Halpert

Michael sometimes makes the other employees anxious and acts ridiculous at any employee gathering outside the office. Just like any other boss at a company. So, the others had a great night without feeling upset.

"Yes, I have a dream, and it's not some MLK dream for equality. I want to own a decommissioned lighthouse. And I want to live at the top. And nobody knows I live there. And there's a button that I can press, and launch that lighthouse into space." -Stanley Hudson

Stanley is very kept to himself and wants to be alone in this world. The only times he is seen smiling in the show is when someone mentions food.


“Are you calling me a ho?” –Phyllis Vance

This is during the Office Olympics, while playing HORSE. Phyllis came alive and made a funny joke which is abnormal from her.

"If Angela can get a gay man to marry her, maybe I could get a lesbian to marry me. That's hot." –Kevin Malone

Let’s just say Kevin isn’t very smooth with the ladies. However, Kevin lands himself in my Top 5 favorite characters in "The Office."

“If you would have seen the look he gave me, he wanted to rock more than just my vote.” –Oscar Martinez

Oscar is outwardly a homosexual. He is hilarious, shown by this quote referring to how Senator Lipton wanted to be with him.

“OK, just so I understand it. In your wildest fantasy, you are in hell and you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.” –Jim Halpert

Jim messes around with all of those in the office, but he messes with Dwight the most. Jim and Pam go to stay at Dwight’s bed and breakfast, where Jim finds out Dwight’s wild fantasies.

“What’s a text?” –Creed Bratton

Creed, in my opinion is the most underrated character in the office. He is so old school and doesn’t understand a lot about modern times. He doesn’t know some of the people’snames in the office. Anything he says makes me laugh so much.

“I talk a lot so I learned to just tune myself out.” –Kelly Kapoor

Kelly annoys me more than any other character in the office. She annoys everyone constantly and never knows when to shut up.

Life is short. Drive fast and leave a sexy corpse. That’s one of my mottos.” –Stanley Hudson

Stanley is a straight shooter and says whatever is on his mind. He will always let everyone know what he is thinking, and has a ton of life advice.

“Who is Justice Beaver” –Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight is really out of touch with modern day entertainment. If its not his farm of Dunder Mifflin paper, he most likely will not know what your talking about.

"You may ask me out to dinner. Nothing fancy or foreign, no bars, no patios, no vegetables, and no seafood." –Angela Martin

This quote is when Andy asks Angela on a date. Angela has history with many guys in the office along with the “Senator." It is revealed later on in the series that Senator Lipton was having an affair with Oscar Martinez, revealing that the senator is gay.

“I am a victim of a hate crime. Stanley knows what I’m talking about.” –Michael Scott

Whenever Michael gets criticized, he always blows things out of proportion. He declared bankruptcy and always gets way too upset about things.


If you have not watched The Office, I strongly recommend watching it. You will not regret it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
