Why is the cast of The Office one of the nicest people in a show ever? In general we hear about nothing but conflicts among other groups.

[@marcgw496]

There are definitely a lot of other casts that have gotten along well (from what I’ve heard), but yeah the office cast just seems the best

[@theaverageclownhole3369]

Well the cast of friends lowered the amount of money they were gonna be paid in the show so they could ensure they got equal pay.

[@KnockManJo]

True, I noticed that it's rare to find a cast that'd so comfortable and happy to talk about their past show

[@imstillsinging6557]

Also cast of Corner Gas here in Canada :-)

[@DanielFTW96]

How I met your mother cast were also pretty close at the end! Like most things though, spend enough time around anyone and they make you crazy once in a while haha

[@no_eggroll_4u]

I love Jenna. She always seems so positive and energetic. Rainn too, he’s so chill and nice.

[@CptPoodlehats]

That last part is pure Dwight, "Im going to kick you off. Good bye. Go away" 😂

[@ab-jf2re]

Then cuts to “what a wonderful human Jenna fisher is” 😂

[@richgurl624]

I love that Jenna pushes through and performs even though she has social anxiety. That’s a huge deal. She did not allow that to hinder her dreams. I too have struggled with social anxiety disorder. She’s a great women. She needs a Dundee for that 💕

[@thegillespiefamily7111]

My hubby and I started watching "The Office" during this pandemic. After the kids go to bed, we get our snacks, go down to the basement and watch it on our projector screen. We always have a good laugh and it helps us get through stressful times! We only have 3 episodes left and I will probably cry when it's done. Love you guys!

[@aishwaryakharade7043]

I did too! And then you can start watching it again :D It's SO good!

[@suizdude]

Happens to me every single time. This after 3 reruns of the series. One of my all time favorites!

[@Sergio-ik4ix]

This is awesome! Just rewatch it again and again, thats what we all do 🙂

[@helloyou2394]

excern right! I’ve seen it 36 times lmfaoo ik I sound insane but as long as it’s still funny I’ll keep rewatching

[@user-fi3cd3ig6l]

I really cried when Michael left and at the end, I just broke down when Creed started playing Guitar and Andy saying wish there was a way to know you are in the good old time before you actually leave them😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@norainwheelz5342]

The Office and you guys have got me thru these times. I found The Office 4ish years ago, when I had to spend a year at the hospital. It made me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry. 4 years later it still makes me laugh when I have a bad day. Thank you for being awsome people Rainn, Jenna and everyone that had anything to do with makeing the office 💛💫

[@MerpaDerp]

thats awesome!

[@curtisfamily287]

Wow, a year at the hospital.. I’m so sorry to hear you had to go through that. It must have been so hard. My wishes to u for better health

[@tinapineiro4112]

Jenna Fischer has Pam's Dundie awards. I love that. It was a wonderful show and the similarities between the actors and characters are fun to see. Thank you for the best show.

“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”-Philippians 4:4-8 🙂

I love how he seems like a really good listener. He lets the other person actually tell their story, unlike most interviewers who interject constantly. It’s a genuine conversation between friends.

[@victoriahiggins96]

I love how big brother he seems to her. So cute

[@lucas33308]

It's very wholesome how throughout The Office Pam is one of the few ppl that Dwight says nice things about in his Dwighty way and he actually likes her but her worst mistake was marrying his nemesis hahahahahaha In the last episode when Dwight says that Pam is his best friend I freaking teared up.

[@thegameboys5532]

I love how pretty much all the actors seem like they're trying not to resemble themselves on the office. Rainn and John have facial hair, Angela does her hair different, Jenna wears her glasses, and well Leslie looks about the same.

[@GrayWoIf]

Oscar also looks the same

[@steadilydeadly3522]

I have been depressed my whole life, surviving veteran of 9/11 and my life is a disaster right now. Your show and yourself brings me hope! P.S. I always thought you were as talented if not more than Steve on The Office, I've seen it at least a dozen times. Thanks so much for contributing positivity to this planet we are all inhabiting. 🥰

[@nicoleonfeels]

It’s so important to take care of your mental health. We all go through down times, we are all human.

[@gwen9925]

These actors like the characters in the show are very genuine, relatable and pure 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

[@ethanaquino7027]

You should watch office ladys

[@miguelmqueroa]

Jenna saying she suffers from social anxiety is so rewarding for people like me that also suffers from that.

[@echosquest]

As someone that has denied having any anxiety / PTSD for years, that control / cant control is awesome

[@SkiaRavensong]

You all make my heart so light. Sincerely, thank you

Just found this show. Love this. Love you Rainn and the other cast members from the office. You guys have brought me much joy and laughter! Thank-you.

[@bethneff487]

I’m sharing this and hoping that others will find the same healing through watching this. I screenshot the chart of things we can control and cannot to follow! I have anxiety that was heightened after so many things in my life and these points hit home! We’ve all been there and we’re in this together! Thank you, Rainn! 🤟🏼

[@vitaminj8166]

I started the gratitude list you put on a recent video. I find it helps put me in a positive mindset for the day. I tell those I'm grateful for and it's a great routine.

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

I’m SO glad I found this Show. I need to tell others. So many People I know LOVE “THE OFFICE”.

This was so much needed for someone with anxiety also. Thank you ❤

Thanks both of you beatiful humans. You guys made my soul melt, i feel so good right now, im really grateful :)

[@morganmikolajczyk9775]

I love this with all my heart. I suffer with mental illness every day and some days are worse than others. And just hearing you Rainn and Jenna talk about this, is enlightening and thank you for shedding light on this subject. I also listen to Jenna and Angela’s podcast every time I get into my car and I enjoy it so much.

[@sheriah2077]

Jenna and I share these anxieties, depression, and expectations. I appreciated this episode so much knowing that I'm not the only one experiencing them.♥️

[@ModemmeX]

Just what I needed. Was feeling really down and I love the Office and I love these guys. Thank you Rainn and Jenna

[@ChristopherHemsworthCreative]

That study at the beginning is truly fascinating. Thanks for sharing that! I try to help my Mum as much as possible and notice for sure it boosts both our happiness levels. Plus you know, she spent all those years raising me from a poppy barfy baby into the poopy barfy adult human I am today, so she deserves love!

[@mollyodonovan137]

Yesterday I started reading The Four Agreements. And I didn’t know how much I craved for knowledge and learning this quarantine until I did so. I analyzed each part I read and took notes. I highly recommend reading and analyzing what you read and take your own point of view and add those to your analysis. It’s a wonderful distraction and you can learn so much.

[@Ken93Cy]

These podcasts really take the edge of the social anxiety and depression I've been having lately. It's been a very rough start of the month (and keeps going) but looking at these interviews and how you guys deal with this stuff really helps. Thank you :)

[@curtisfamily287]

Thank you so much for doing this. This helps because I just got back from st Judes and it has been really lonely. So thank you for starting out my day really good. I’ve been struggling with catching up with school. But I like to help people by washing the dishes for my mom, saying goodbye to my dad every single day.

[@BeverlysFrugalWays]

Thank you Rainn. The office has helped me make it through the pandemic and a health issue I have been dealing with the last few months.

[@vegetafett]

Also I just found out about this SoulPancake and I am definitely gonna be tuning in from now on. Rainn Wilson is awesome and has some interesting things to talk about. Remember to always believe in yourself

You aren't actually quarantined unless you are sick.

[@lisadelgado8681]

As for service for others, I take dinner for the kids at our local crisis shelter a few times a month. You're so right, it brings me happiness!! The Office was a joy to me at the time of it's original airing. As a single mom of 3 kids, it was the only 22 mins of TV that wasn't cartoons! Now those young boys are grown and we've found new joy watching it together. Love you, thank you for bringing positive vibes during such unprecedented times!

[@nicolesaintdenis]

This video hit my heart. Hearing about what she feels, the nervousness and anxiety, that's me. I've never been diagnosed by a doctor but hearing what she was describing and feeling was spot on. Thank you, made me feel normal for a moment.

[@kevinlawrence6368]

It’s refreshing hearing Jenna talk about her anxious feelings, you’re not alone Jenna!

[@jessicaraymer9012]

Maybe my favorite episode! I deal with social anxiety on a regular basis and am a pretty high functioning person that deals with anxiety and depression. This episode just really touched my heart and was up lifting hearing on someone as famous as Rainn Wilson deals with down days and Jenna Fischer deals with social anxiety. Really enjoyed this

I fell in love with Rainn a few years back when I saw him on Oprah discussing his (then)new project “SoulPancake”. I loved it and I became a fan of The Office because of him. Now, of course, I am in love with the entire cast of the Office! . These actors make me smile and laugh so hard-tired of the gloom and sobbing over the way the world is right now. I hear Netflix is going to drop The Office soon🥺I am hoping that doesn’t happen. At least we can still find smiles here on KZbin. Thank you, SoulPancake❤️

It's 2021 and we're seeing they're all together and doing these videos. I'm really happy about this! It keeps the hope of seeing all of them togheter in a reunion of The Office alive for me. Don't know if it will ever happen (hope it will), but it's not something you usually see (like in Friends).

[@sirbeerus6987]

Rainn, it's great to hear your inner Dwight come out when you said "shitty bread." I admit I wasn't expecting that so I burst out laughing when I heard it. 😂

[@kaustavchatterjee4158]

Hey Rainn, just wanted to say I loved you as Dwight Schrute in 'The Office' and you were definitely the best thing in 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend' (that's the only film I have seen of yours, I promise I will watch the rest). Just wanted to say these videos by SoulPancake are awesome and are making these difficult times a tad better. A big big big fan of The Office, btw. ❤️

[@arh7303]

Our family just finished watching The Office. My husband and I have watched the series before several times, but this was the first time for my seven-year-old daughter. She loves the show, which she says is a 'show about friendship.' She even built the Office set out of legos. Her favorite character is Dwight. (She also loves Pam, who she says is the coolest ever.) She adores Dwight! She draws comics with Dwight and the other characters. I'm so happy to share SoulPancake with her. I'm grateful for the gentle wisdom and sweetness. Thank you, Rainn Wilson for your work then and now!

[@DrLMD657]

So thankful for this series! As a mental health provider, this episode will DEFINITELY be recommended to my patients!:) also need to try bamboo TP! :-)
