The Office - My Top 25 Funniest Lines

[@Mark-sc2dy]

All great lines but dont see my favorite. When Garreth comes back in the room during training and is asked for his fantasy, meaning his future dream scenario in the company but he says. "2 Lesbians, Sisters I'm just watching"

[@LighterItHit]

My favourite line aswell🤣🤣

[@mattdale6931]

The reply from Tim afterwards "I never thought I'd say this but can we hear more from Gareth please?"

[@hudders11]

"So what's a goblin?" is definitely one of the funniest lines. That worker guy always cracks me up.

[@matskarlsson9011]

Amazing how no other comedy show still has managed to even come close to this one. A true masterpiece by Gervais and Merchant. Everything from casting and manuscript to acting and the mockumentary format is perfectly executed. I wonder if they knew that when they were creating it. How is it even possible to get everything so right?

[@emmacook112]

One of my personal favourites when Gareth is filling in David’s dating profile - he asks “mixing with friends?” and Brent says “yea, loads put loads”.

[@infrasleep]

I like it when he's meeting his blind dates-has a moan about them sending any old rubbish -then says he's meeting a woman with a white scarf ,the woman asks "Are you David" and Brent turns to look at the camera saying " Oh FFS" with a look of disgust on his face !!

[@paulsantini9288]

"I just wanna know how come he knows so much about midgets" cracks me up everytime. This programme will never be matched or ever grow old

It's impossible to appreciate how revolutionary the office was when it appeared (the UK one, of course) if you were not around at that time. We'd never seen anything like it, it was something completely new and fresh. And over 20 years later, it has been imitated countless times but the original remains unsurpassed.

david brent is the most genius character in comedy history

[@mhoppy6639]

Like most of the best characters I think he’s disturbingly close to the original material ie the base actor. For Steve Coogan read Alan Patridge for Ricky Gervase read David Brent Of course they have lots of other personae but let’s face it when you watch The Trip with Steve and Rob it’s only really a short hop into Alan Partridge at points for Steve. And all the funnier for it too.

[@godfrey_of_america]

[@grahamroberts1833]

My funniest bit of Gareth's "so have you got a boyfriend?" is the way you can see him mulling over what to say or whether he should say it. It is almost as though he knows it is a bad move but then can't help himself and just does it.

[@Fplsilksaddle]

I think he is actually trying to work out whether she has a boyfriend or not then asks. Which in my view makes it even better

[@StupStups]

I didn't realise how much of a comedic genius Mackenzie Crook was until I watched Detectorists recently. Now see Gareth in a new light

[@cephalopod7300]

The part of Gareth is played superbly. All the little mannerisms and awkwardness. Gervais said he originally imagined Gareth as a big guy who thinks he's hard, boasting about being in the Territorial Army etc. Then Mackenzie Crook walked into the audition and didn't look anything like who they had in mind, but they went with him anyway. Good call.

[@Geokinkladze]

I don't think he thought of it as a bad move, I like to think he was trying to work out from what she'd just said, whether she had a boyfriend or not.

[@Isleofskye]

Brilliant thing about this show is that anyone could easily think of 50 more at random. I love the scene where David explains that there will be many redundancies and then after a brief pause says "On a brighter note I am going to be promoted!".....:)

"She said she'd be wearing a white chiffon scarf to help me spot her. So, em...oh, for fuck's sake!" 🤣

[@criticalbil1]

This is extraordinarily good. It's also very British. There are references to the British TV adaptation of The Darling Buds of May ("Perfick!") and a British documentary about the English national football team ("Do I not like that?"). It is rich and painful and sour. I haven't seen the American version. Is it nearly as good? I imagine a translation that reduces the agony in order to appeal to a wider audience. Make it milder like American cheese, and sweeter like American bread.

[@al201103]

You're pretty much right about the changes to the US version. It is very funny, but it's also quite a different show really. Different humour. People still bicker about which is "the best" but I honestly see them as two very separate shows. And we don't have to choose, we have both :)

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

​@@al201103can never see the point either. Love both incarnations and you're right in saying they are completely different show. Season 1 they tried too hard to be a British clone and it was very close to being cancelled after the first season but Steve Carell was in a movie that made a lot of money (40 year old Virgin) so they gave it another chance and the writers stopped trying to mirror the original so rigidly and it eventually found it's audience

[@genizot]

great list but with such an awesome series as The Office, it's challenging to find the top 25 lines as there are loads more. In my opinion 'I THINK THERE'S BEEN A RAPE UP THERE' has to take the cake! I can watch that scene every day (and I do) without getting bored. The supporting actor is also very good in that scene! Long live The Office!
