The ULTIMATE Office Iceberg - Easter Eggs, Theories, and More!

The Office is more popular than ever. In between the funniest moments, there's a TON of theories, easter eggs, and behind the scenes details out there. From Toby being the Scranton Strangler, to Pam's painting getting ruined, to 'Fire Drill's' CPR saving irl lives, to some more disturbing details. Even if you're the biggest fan ever, there's definitely something in here you don't know.
Big thanks to The Office Ladies podcast with Jenna Fischer & Angela Kinsey and The Office Deep Dive with Brian Baumgartner for a lot of the info in this video.

What's something that you know that wasn't mentioned here? 🤔 Edits: Forgot to credit Stephen Merchant as co creator of the British Office. I don't think "That's what she said" came from The Office. I'm a zoomer and my generation pretty much associates it with the show since it peaked in popularity as we were growing up. Thank you to everyone bringing to my attention how Asperger's is an outdated term.

I don‘t think Hunter is Astrid‘s father. Because Jan was genuinely shocked when Kevin said he also donated sperm at the center where Jan got fertilized. Maybe she could’ve just acted shocked, but she talked to the camera when she made that „sue-icide“ pun, meaning that there is no need for acting, as several characters said pretty damning things and revealed secrets on these talking heads. ….she definitely did have sex with him tho.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

the reason why the writers wanted them to split up is because of a popular sitcom in the 90's called Friends which basically wrote all the rules to having a popular sitcom (or maybe the reason why it was so popular is because it was sold cheap to all other TV stations at the time and it was aired over and over and over)... so one of the basic writing rules that was taken from Friends is that the love interest must NEVER be with each other until the end (this is to close off the series on the happy ever after note) but if you was to get the love interest together too soon it is thought that the audience will lose interest in the show... clearly The Office showed that it was a bunch of crap and that good writing keeps the audience.. i would even argue that now (after they both ended and its been yrs) The Office might be more popular than Friends...

For toby’s hesitancy to enter the church, it’s actually because toby was in seminary learning to be a priest (or something alike where you have to practice celibacy) and he met his wife and left the church. He even mentions that his wife was the first women he ever fell in love with and had premarital sex with. After that marriage failed he feels like he disobeyed god and that his current life situation was the punishment of such. Hence why he couldn’t make himself go into the church.

One of the theories that I like is that Angela herself killed spinkles (her cat), when Angela shows the photos of her cat, she is seen feeding him grapes and coffee, both foods are toxic to cats, so In simple words, she killed her cat with the food she gave it..

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

She could have been the one that made her cat SICK, but Dwight definitely killed her. Dwight explains that he put the cat in the freezer while it was still alive, supported by the fact that Angela says her bags of frozen food were clawed open. Dwight very proudly states that he put her cat down on purpose. That being said, I don't think it's likely that she made Sprinkles sick, either. Sprinkles was on a very strict medicine regiment, and if he was being poisoned, the vet would clearly have been able to tell and would have put him on a treatment for that, so Angela would have known too. And frankly I don't think someone like her would be ignorant about that kind of thing.

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

In one of the webisodes, Phyllis mentions how none of the witnesses showed up to Bob’s arraignment, lending credence to the theory Bob’s part of the mob. When Toby is pitching having the office checked for radon, he mentions how it’s the silent killer. Michael responds, “you’re the silent killer.” Toby the says in his breath, “you’ll see.” A few months later, the Scranton Strangler begins his crime spree. Coincidence?

[@BirdOfHermes8381]

Yes.

On the office ladies podcast they mention on the episode meredith gets run over one of the writers wanted merideth to die and for Michael to panic and hide the body, but that idea never got past the concept stage

Brilliant!!

[@giannaf874]

Something interesting I like to share with people is that the office actually reached out to companies/popular places in Scranton, PA to use in the background of scenes. I am actually from Scranton and can point out a few things that are genuinely real about the show. As you mentioned, the intro footage is actually footage of Scranton. Unfortunately, the Dunder Mifflin building in real life looks nothing like the one in the show, and actually looks quite abandoned nowadays. If you look behind Pam at the grey divider between reception and accounting, there is a purple and white checkered "blanket" hanging. That is a blanket from the University of Scranton. On the fridge, there is usually a lot of Scranton themed magnets from various places around Scranton. They also sometimes have a Happenings Magazine in the break area, which is a local magazine. In the episode "Goodbye Toby," Kevin sees Jan in a Gerrity's supermarket, which is a local supermarket chain. There is actually an Alfredo's Pizza -- but there isn't a "Pizza by Alfredo's." There are many cool easter eggs like these, but that is what I could think of off the top of my head!

[@MayBee15]

I would assume that they likely made sure "pizza by Alfredo's" wasn't a real business so insulting it on the show wouldn't lead to a loss of business or something

[@toadwarnnewt]

Wait people think "thats what she said" came from the office? I thought the whole joke of it in the office was that Michael still uses that super old played out joke and expects to get a laugh

[@mirofeya]

Do you understand that show is old?

[@toadwarnnewt]

Yes. I watched it when it came out. And I watched the UK office in the early 2000's, like 2003 maybe? And even at that point "That's what she said" was getting played out

[@brianbyrne2518]

"that's what she said" has BEEN SAID in 1950s comedy, possibly predates that even. And the fact that Michael says it like it's his own catch phrase is part of the joke, it's so predictable and as old as the hills. I thought everyone was aware of that😮

I only disagree with Phyllis sleeping with Stanley. IMO it was Packer.

Dwight's coat is one that the army of the former Eastern-German military used to wear. That ties his roots closer to Germany; he mentions that he had ancestors that were supposedly Nazis but much of the German he speaks is rather Dutch, maybe that's because his German was basically "third hand"

I’m really disappointed no one has listed Creed as a Scranton Strangler suspect. The guy showed up to work splattered in blood (coincidentally on Halloween), was a cult leader, and assumed he was getting arrested when the cops showed up for a narcotics tip. He also stole Creed Bratton’s identity (and possibly murdered him). I personally think the Toby theory is weak.

Or that Steve Carell called in sick during the writers' strike with a case of "enlarged balls? Or that Phyllis Smith was an NFL cheerleader and a burlesque dancer before the filming "The Office"? I also loved how the video explained the origin of some of the jokes and references on the show, like how the computers in the office had internet access and the set was kept at 64 degrees Fahrenheit because of Carell's sweating condition. This video really made me appreciate the show even more and I can't wait to rewatch it with these new insights. Thank you for making this awesome video!

[@deborahl3083]

some of this information is missing context that would make it make sense. For example, Roy wasn’t annoyed at Michael’s jokes, he liked the event because there used to be an open bar. He was upset that there wasn’t an open bar anymore. Also, Michael rode the bike in the christmas episode just as well as he did during the cold open. He can ride it for about 7 feet without falling. And, the thing about Michael and college; if you continue the episode, you will see that it becomes evident that Michael doesn’t actually know anything about college, because he says the professors used to throw parties. It was just a way to ask Jim about his barbecue without asking. There are a couple of other things, but I’ll just keep watching. lol

[@grumpus_hominidae]

@@Liuss ABSOLUTELY! I'm fact, I've saved part two so I can watch it tonight!

[@macjrc]

@@grumpus_hominidae what???!! There’s a part 2? Gotta go thx

[@macjrc]

….there’s no part 2 ..sigh

[@grumpus_hominidae]

@@macjrc yes. There 100% is a part two. Edit: I stand corrected. The iceberg that has a part two is from 10k productions, not Liuss. My bad.

17:15 Tier 5 is it's implied that Michael is lying in order to seem like "one of the guys." Michael says the professors also went to the parties, which seems spurious at best with Oscar and others doubting his words

I must say, I was worried that Polish "The Office" would have been a disaster, but it turned out to be really funny! Thanks for the video!

[@AMNEZ1A]

Are you planning on making more of these? I would love to see ones about Parks & Rec and Scrubs

[@sarahrzewnicki7292]

And Malcom in the Middle even though it’s a throw back

[@pianochad]

What a fantastic video. Currently binge watching The Office for the 10th time and there was so much i didn't know.

You need to talk to a doctor about "attention deficit disorder".

Damn that roy doll hanging from a noose in jim’s rooms is very creepy

[@jackjohnson691]

This was a great video. Alot of stuff I didn't know. Thank you 👌

[@kerrydonovan8345]

I purchased the entire series! Absolutely obsessed. This was great and can’t wait to NOW catch these things. Really enjoyed this and appreciated this insight.

[@astridvvv9662]

Did you buy it on physical media? I'm a born-in-the-90s millennial who came of age at the very end of physical media being the mainstream way to consume content. I preferred pirating everything, even then. I still do. But with especially iconic media, like The Office, I'm coming to understand that sometimes it's best to have physical media on hand. Disney/Hulu have been editing their content for mOdErN aUdiEncEs before streaming-all the big corporations are doing it. And they do it without saying anything, you'll just notice stuff missing. The thing about physical media is that it can't be altered and it can't be taken away from you for the crime of "wrong think." The latter really is happening. Steam-where you buy, store, and play digital copies of *purchased* video games-has fully removed entire accounts of users who say the wrong thing. And when I say remove accounts that includes the entire library of games that were bought and paid for and were _supposed to be_ as much "yours" as a physical copy. No refunds. This was a few years ago, at the time I first came across it I believe there were talks about a class action against Steam. *TL;DR elder emo discusses the significance of owning physical media*

[@andrewcrossley9747]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a while

[@vuxnut]

Excellent work, many things I didnt' know but would like to dive deeper into.

[@Ailiofficial]

thank you for sharing this!!!! love the theories

[@lucascarr-og3ku]

Saul Goodman as Micheal would’ve been hilarious

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

Saul Goodman, hiding from the Feds under an assumed name Michael Scott! lol

[@defenestrator4837]

Fundle Bundle was based on an actual kids’ show that aired on the local ABC affiliate. The real name of the show was Hatchy Milatchy, and the host was Miss Judy (not Miss Trudy). I was on it once - just like just about every kid who grew up in NEPA in the 80s.

[@hectorg5809]

Did she also have an amazing body under the costume?

[@defenestrator4837]

Absolute smoke show - and super nice. I distinctly remember sitting on the set with the astroturf lawn and the white picket fence that she opened at the beginning of every show. But before you ask - no, I didn’t wish that everyone would have to be my friend.

[@seano_4319]

this is a very good ice berg video I find it very relxaing to listen to your voice and muisc choices. well done keep it up

[@heftzik]

such a great re-cap! I knew about 95% of it but still enjoyed it very much!

[@ashduwitt9899]

GREAT video. I watched the office 2 times then watched it a third time sometimes in the background while doing other stuff. It never ceased to amaze me how many deep the sory was and how many easter eggs and hidden jokes were burried in the plot. Even seeing the whole thing 3 times i missed a lot of stuff. Brought me back to being 16 again watching this video. There will always be a spot in my heart for this show ❤thank you.

[@maxritic6198]

When Holly returns in season 7, Erin asks “Guys who is Holly?”, but she should’ve known who she is because she was at the company picnic where Michael and Holly acted out Slumdunder Mifflinaire

[@Liuss]

Yoooo

[@shreymehta4618]

You must have put in too much effort to create this, thank you so much!!!

[@KlaraBreznik-jm9pj]

This has to be the most interesting video i have watched on YT in years. Love it. Tnx.

[@ToonRami]

I am incredibly proud of the fact that I knew every single fact in this video EXCEPT for the saber printer being in an episode of Dexter. Ive never seen Dexter.

[@frankpat645]

really surprised creed was never talked about being the strangler with the tendencies across the series of the things he does and then also the social media post where he talks to himself in a mirror about it

[@itdobeMae]

i remember watching the CPR training video in health occ when we did our CPR training. i wasn’t a fan/watcher of the show and now i can’t stop watching it

[@youssefd6187]

36:45 there's a scene on the finale of the show where Phyllis and Stanley give each other a look and go somewhere alone together.

[@rita8274]

The fact there's another writer AND actor strike right now is uncanny, the fact that the executives and companies that make more than they can spend in a lifetime still don't want to offer reasonable pay and benefits to their staff over ten years later. Rich actors supporting the ones barely making ends meet is a beautiful thing to see and is a good reminder of the humanity that the companies seem to lack.

[@Jaegerborn]

Dunderpedia lists Troy (Ryan's friend) and Troy (In Threat Level Midnight, and as one of Dwight's buddies) as the same character. And the Nick the IT character is most likely the same guy as the job fair character too.

[@XSweetNSaucyX]

I love this video! It highlights everything. 🤗 Brings me back.🥰

[@dasgrischa]

What a great video! Thank you!

[@micheleonel1047]

Oh my gosh, I have family in Scranton and went to Cooper’s multiple times as a small child that stuck with me. I didn’t remember its name and thought I might have dreamed the “giant octopus restaurant” until this video

[@thewayshegos]

Excellent video and analysis!

[@Liuss]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Loved your video bro so much info!!

This video was amazing, and I love the office. Greetings from Argentina!

[@joshbarker76]

Its not a Roy doll, its a JD doll from scrubs, they were both highly watched shows and in ratings competition at the time

[@bassmagic102]

I could’ve sworn John was wearing a wig because he had to buzz cut for Jarhead with Jake Gyllenhaal, not Leatherheads with Clooney….

[@hectorg5809]

Nah it was the Leatherheads movie

[@SchemeTintFocus]

These are some new ones to me. Combined with the extended classics, I'm going to have flashbacks soon

[@gringostarr7858]

Was suprised not hear anything on Darrell(craig robinson's character) or Holly Flax.

[@todd3143]

i’m pretty sure it’s pam -> meredith, jim -> michael. jim is at his most michael in the episode where he merged people’s birthdays, but also subtly through how at the start he’s very friendly with toby, but gradually dislikes him, and how he accuses michael of not being able to make a controversial decision but ended up not being able to do the same thing. jim’s also a great salesman, likes comedy and practical jokes, and somewhat of a leader at the office. i’d like to think that if he didn’t have the courage to approach pam in casino night and thereafter, he would eventually become branch manager and starts acting like michael

[@ianmorgan6116]

1: In the UK office Ricky uses "Like the actress said to the bishop" so i thought "that's what she said" was a nod to that phase...2: I always thought Troy was there as Dwight's weird friend because they had an interaction and Dwight called him a hobbit and they somehow continued their relationship off screen and this was a callback

[@mirofeya]

About #2, i agree. They should've been thinking that we forget about actor looking so unusual.

[@BlackHoleBrew42]

The one about Bob being in the mafia/violent is interesting. The actor, Robert R. Shafer, was in Psycho Cop 2, where he terrorizes a group of people in an office building. His name? Officer Joe VICKERS. its a reach, but... strange.

[@Liuss]

Ayo 😳

[@SalMinella]

Just found you. Great vid. I subscribed.

[@NLPhantom97]

One of the people who played a different role in the show is forgotten; one of the bloggers in the Sabre store in the later season is also one of the fictional staff of The Office in the last (or 2nd last) episodes. You can see him again where they make a picture together
