Remember When Taylor Swift Parodied 'The Office'?

#TaylorSwift: the next Pam Beesly (Halpert)? The singer's latest behind-the-scenes clip from her 'Ours' video, seen below, is actually a mini episode of #TheOffice -- with a fresh new set of workers who could fit right in with the original cast.
From the camera work to the slightly offbeat characters, the clip mimics the hit TV show. While there's no Toby, Dwight or Jim, there's the lonely mail room worker who carries a banana around with him, the overconfident head of IT who believes he "makes all the stuff work," and the immature son of the company's boss who has a crush on Swift's character. Oh, and there's that guy who's the head of receiving. ("Receive what? I don't know. You know, hey. I do what I can.")
