The best joke from "the initiation", s3 e5, is when Ryan is planting a beet seed and Dwight says "Just as you planted that seed in the ground, I will plant my seed in you". Although this was an alt by Rainn Wilson so it's not a BJ Novak joke. But BJ says himself that he was really annoyed that he'd spent 3 weeks on the script and Rainn was funnier in two seconds.

[@troyebeyonce]

when did he said that

[@klskl1]

2:53 is why the office is so great - with that look we can tell Dwight thinks this is a completely normal question, but for other reasons than what Michael is after

[@dannyvalencia5224]

That's why you do not hang out with people from work out side work, one of my few time I found myself in a muscle car with four co workers doing 100+mph on the freeway, driving past trucks like they were standing still. Then the smell of oil and yeap, he broke something. he was able to drive it still, just not fast. I look back now and think _ unnecessary thrill. Dwight's relatives funeral was a unexpected shock as well. I think Michael went to that.

BJ Novak's episodes reflect the characters' personalities so incredibly well! He makes them interact in interesting ways

[@batgurrl]

My favorite actor/writer after Mindy Kaling. His talents are multi faceted. Also an excellent director on the show❤️

[@amla87]

I second that! A vote from me for the next compilation to be from episodes Mindy wrote!

[@Resanctify]

Mindy wasn't completely acting when playing her character though, neither was Novak, but his character is shown very sparingly. Mindy isn't dumb like her character on the office but she isn't a good writer, most episodes had teams helping brainstorm all scenes.

Some of these are important to story arcs too, when Jim jokes he'd take Kevin, Its clear Roy is having a "oh he's gay!" realization, that makes him blind to Jim wanting Pam.

[@musics4me]

Robert California was the best antithesis to the later seasons. He balances out the saccharine sweet writing. Sadly, the writers didn't know how to properly blend him into the show (much like Catherine Tate's character)

[@lottieerin3146]

Yeah the show really could’ve done without Catherine Tate. She didn’t bring anything to it at all there was simply no need for her character at all. The only thing I could complain about over the 9 seasons

[@ююю-ч9д]

I think Robert California and Erin were the only good additions to the late seasons

[@MaiAolei]

2:41 Maybe I'm just tired, but until Michael said "capsizing", I kept hearing "robot". "Could we share a robot". "Would a robot support her".

I'm starting to actually consider if "Dwight's ritual" would had actually helped Ryan be a decent salesman... Yeah his ways were... Unorthodox... But they were to serve a purpose metaphorically.

I never really liked the joke about Dwight asking Toby where is the clitoris. Not only was Dwight having an affair with Angela, but he was also - maybe improbably - portrayed as a ladies man on other occasions. So I always thought it was a lack of continuity. In fact, another of the jokes here is about the women getting on the same cycle. So he's more nerdish than not informed.
