Recently, I came across this Twitter post in a Buzzfeed article about a new ranking meme circulating the Internet.

twitter.com/hattiesoykan

It clearly states that the season four episode nine of the U.S. version of 'The Office' is the best episode out of the whole entire series, which ran for nine seasons.

And I can't help but agree that 'Dinner Party' is, in fact, the greatest episode of them all. There are some strong contenders, including season seven's 'Threat Level Midnight,' season three's penultimate episode, 'Beach Games,' and, of course, the controversial 'Scott's Tots.' Despite the discourse in the Twitter comments about which episode is truly the funniest one, I stand beside 'Dinner Party,' and here are 13 reasons why (I swear that wasn't on purpose) you should, too.

1. The fact that Michael pretended the whole office had to work overtime, just so he could be sure Jim and Pam would have no plans that night

And what a night it was...

2, Serenity by Jan

Jan's homemade candles (created in a workspace separate from her office, of course) include unique smells, such as fire - sorry, bonfire.

3. Michael having to sleep on a bench in front of his bed

Jan needs her space, okay?

4. Michael's brand new $200 plasma screen T.V.

It's honestly more than I could afford.

5. The great Michael and Pam romance, according to Jan

She's seen the way Pam looks at Michael, and all I can say is, move aside Jim and Pam.

6. "That's sort of an oaky afterbirth"

Only Michael.

7. Jan dancing to her ex-assistant, Hunter's, song

"You took me by the hand, you made me a man! That one night, you made everything alright!"

8. Jim willing to leave Pam at the party, just so he could get out

Whether his apartment was flooded or on fire, the fact of the matter is, you can always buy new stuff but you can't buy a new party.

9. Dwight showing up unannounced with his old babysitter as his date

This is why Dwight is one of the best characters ever.

10. Michael getting three vasectomies because he and Jan couldn't decide if they wanted kids or not

"You have no idea the physical toll three vasectomies have on a person!"

11. Jan throwing Michael's dundie at his plasma screen T.V.

And then tried to glue it back together at the end of the episode.

12. Which prompted the cops to come after receiving a noise complaint

"Not now, Dwight."

13. And, finally, Jim and Pam stealing Jan's CD of Hunter's song

"So raw so right all night all right, oh yeah."

Now, go re-watch the episode, I know you want to!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
