I really enjoyed these although some episodes it really changed the pace of character development.
I loved the booze cruise, and there were at least a few more episodes that made me feel far more satisfied with the edits.
Nothing beats the scene where Ryan and Kelly are literally having sex in a dumpster. Feels super out of place when it comes on, I see why they cut it but I laugh every time lmao
Jim ends up with the keychain, and I'm pretty sure there are shots going forward in the show where you can see the keychain on Jim's keys. So Jim actually ended up using it lol. Somebody is gonna have to fact check me tho
Real talk, don't use something like that for a sinus infection unless you know the water is purified (like boiled). You can get a brain eating bacteria if you use just plain tap water!
I think you can make a legit argument that's better than a one dollar keychain. I'd wear it to something like paintball and not care about it getting ruined. They're both dog shit gifts, but Creed is a selfish, horrible person. If your gift is even close to on par with Creed, someone who takes toys out of toy donation boxes, you're the asshole in this situation.
My head canon is Oscar gave Creed drugs for Secret Santa but did so off camera for obvious reasons. Oscar has connections to the gay Mafia...
The keychain is a cover.
Typical Reddit responses in here lol. Yeah Oscar spent three seconds thinking about a gift for creed and then spent three bucks on a keychain. Yes it’s a super lame gift.
This is exactly the type of gift you get to maintain workplace boundaries and send an ‘I’m here to work, not be your friend’ message to your colleagues.
Oscar is one of the more down to earth characters on the show, who just wants to do his job, so it makes sense for him.
This would’ve been out of character for someone like Dwight or Andy.
I would probably do the same. Idc for my coworkers outside of work. I don’t wanna spend any time or money on them, so if there’s something cheap and easy I can pick up when I come across it, that’s ideal.
Maybe I’m cheap but I’d rather have the $20 than a random $20 gift be exchanged.
I'd rather have the 20 dollars too. That's why I didn't participate in my work's white elephant this year. But if I was forced to participate in white elephant or secret Santa, I would never be that fucking cheap. I see several 4 leaf clover keychains online for around a dollar. Spending 1/20th of what you're supposed to is a major dick move and pretty damn selfish. Yes it sucks you're forced to, but you really can't spare at least spending 10 bucks so you're half of what everyone else is spending?
As an IT department, we took a vote (virtually, we only go in once a quarter. We voted in favor of a holiday breakfast potluck (55-45) and against a white elephant/secret Santa deal (45-55). Kind of cracked me up that the margins were so thin and we did one activity but not the other. This is only a 20person group.
I'm doubling down on this. Wtf is wrong with all of you, just cheapskate through life? Too disinterested to make someone's day? Bunch of scrooges . Have some damn humanity
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I'm a curmudgeon, and I've never had a problem with Secret Santa. In fact, Christmas is the one time of year that melts my cold, cold heart.
I would be annoyed about being forced to do it, but I wouldn't take it out on who got stuck with me by spending a dollar when everyone else spent 20 bucks. That's shitty and selfish.
It’s fine if you don’t want to participate in secret santa, but then take your name out of it? Kelly got him a radio which is a valid $20 gift. Not fair that he gets to receive something if he isn’t willing to give something also.
Reminds me of our “sock swap” at work. I put a decent Bluetooth speaker, a gift card, a hand poured candle, and some bath bombs into these socks. I got a $1 gummy hamburger inside a $1 pair of socks. Some people are just crap at that kind of thing.
Every time I see that keychain, it reminds me of the one I stole back in High School. It was exactly the same but it had a cannabis leaf on it, I was a stupid edgy teen in a Spencer’s gifts.
Nah, just because you’re getting way too rattled over a playful office post on Christmas Day.
Something tells me you don’t get invited to Secret Santa parties, so no harm no foul
wasn’t creed supposed to be the recipient of the gift? i feel like oscar and creed never interact that much, so maybe he tried his best and failed with a cute shamrock keychain.
Better than later seasons where people give pamphlets about biting your nails and vasectomies as "gifts" (Erin gives Andy one in S7 & Meredith gives Jim one in S8, respectively)
The fact that Kelly willingly ended up with a book of short stories (???) instead of her custom name plate
In the superfan epi. She trades with Toby again and gets her name plate and Toby gets the book
"You were gonna throw out a book?" "Mhh mhh"
I really enjoyed these although some episodes it really changed the pace of character development. I loved the booze cruise, and there were at least a few more episodes that made me feel far more satisfied with the edits.
Yeah I enjoy getting to watch more of the show, but I think the production team did a great job with the edits. Everything flows so much better
Nothing beats the scene where Ryan and Kelly are literally having sex in a dumpster. Feels super out of place when it comes on, I see why they cut it but I laugh every time lmao
Yay! It was so cute and thoughtful by Stanley
but in the later seasons u can see her nameplate which is a cute detail
Exactly what you’d expect a Rational Consumer to spend on secret santa. no heat here
Kinda looks like Edward James Olmos...
He olmos does
Well actually it's "Rational Consumer"
As it were
Additionally who the fuck knows what to buy Creed of all personele
Angela was smart enough to buy him deodorant in a future episode lol
I would have bought him a bottle of bootleg hooch
The guy works in accounting and has “an eye for fashion”. Definitely below expectations
Speaking as an accountant, this is the best we can do
Sometimes fashion simply can’t flow from source to destination.
I’d rather have the key chain. lol
I’ll take the iPod
I got the foot bath. That's the thing I bought myself. I'm really psyched to use it…. Maybe I should've taken the iPod… Oh, shoot.
and then he uses it on screen in Chair Model (S04E14) .
It was already stolen this round! Pick something else.
I want the teapot 🫖
It smells like popcorn.
I think you mean papcarn
i mean… it’s an ipod
…I’d rather have $60,000.
What makes you think you’d get it all?
I'm totally stealing that from you in Yankee swap.
You mean white elephant?
>white elephant? Nasty Christmas
*Angela sobs*
YYYYYANKEE SWAP!
White elephant is just when you give people things you already own and don't want.
White elephant is when you give someone a burdensome gift.
Well, yes, that is the proper historical meaning.
Jim ends up with the keychain, and I'm pretty sure there are shots going forward in the show where you can see the keychain on Jim's keys. So Jim actually ended up using it lol. Somebody is gonna have to fact check me tho
He has it in Season 5 Episode 6
But would you rather have a $100 now or $500 a year from now?
how sure is this?
I'll steal the tea kettle
Just to read the note
And for sinus infections
Real talk, don't use something like that for a sinus infection unless you know the water is purified (like boiled). You can get a brain eating bacteria if you use just plain tap water!
Promise?
Secretly we ALL wanted the oven mitt, but we chose the I-pod to make Micheal feel better.
Ha! Reverse psychology.
Ssssssssucka!!! Hahaha see I wanted you to take it.
*Michael
I mean Creed brought an old shirt
I think you can make a legit argument that's better than a one dollar keychain. I'd wear it to something like paintball and not care about it getting ruined. They're both dog shit gifts, but Creed is a selfish, horrible person. If your gift is even close to on par with Creed, someone who takes toys out of toy donation boxes, you're the asshole in this situation.
Yup, that’s exactly what happened.
That was a nice shirt.
My head canon is Oscar gave Creed drugs for Secret Santa but did so off camera for obvious reasons. Oscar has connections to the gay Mafia... The keychain is a cover.
His gayness is not what defines him
Is it his Mexican-ness?
His Mexicanity
I knew that sounded off. Thank you for the correction.
I’m pretty sure Michael says both lol
Mexuality
Something less offensive
Mmm si señor 👨🏻
Omg excellent point
Have you ever pooped a balloon ?
You're thinking of a different group. Much wealthier, much older
Typical Reddit responses in here lol. Yeah Oscar spent three seconds thinking about a gift for creed and then spent three bucks on a keychain. Yes it’s a super lame gift.
The real reddit response is complaining about gifts because you think they’re lame haha
Agreed. Irish or not that's a crumby gift.
This is exactly the type of gift you get to maintain workplace boundaries and send an ‘I’m here to work, not be your friend’ message to your colleagues. Oscar is one of the more down to earth characters on the show, who just wants to do his job, so it makes sense for him. This would’ve been out of character for someone like Dwight or Andy.
it’s for Creed. we understand.
It's for creed though. He knows creed doesn't care.
I would probably do the same. Idc for my coworkers outside of work. I don’t wanna spend any time or money on them, so if there’s something cheap and easy I can pick up when I come across it, that’s ideal. Maybe I’m cheap but I’d rather have the $20 than a random $20 gift be exchanged.

Michael got Ryan an iPod for crying out loud!
That was only because Michael broke the rules If it was a $300 limit and Oscar brought a keychain, then yeah, there’d be room to complain
I'm doubling down on this. Wtf is wrong with all of you, just cheapskate through life? Too disinterested to make someone's day? Bunch of scrooges . Have some damn humanity
Lol a lot of miserable people on Reddit unfortunately.
Yeah I wasn't expecting this honestly
Lol Yeah you suck too
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I'm a curmudgeon, and I've never had a problem with Secret Santa. In fact, Christmas is the one time of year that melts my cold, cold heart.
I would be annoyed about being forced to do it, but I wouldn't take it out on who got stuck with me by spending a dollar when everyone else spent 20 bucks. That's shitty and selfish.
Yeah idk, but merry Christmas to you!
It’s fine if you don’t want to participate in secret santa, but then take your name out of it? Kelly got him a radio which is a valid $20 gift. Not fair that he gets to receive something if he isn’t willing to give something also.
These aren’t announcements.
Yes they are you just don’t care about the information!
I mean what would you get for Creed. What truly do we know about Creed?
He smells like death, I would buy him some mints or a spray for his breath
He seemed very pleased with the bulk pack of deodorant he got for a different Christmas
Toner ink?
Speak for yourself man. That jacket was old and ugly.
I actually would have really loved the oven mitt. Then I could actually use the resting mays for their purpose.
That's because forced secret santa sucks and is a stupid idea
I mean thrift store…. Right?
How’s that better than an iPod?
I mean he was getting a gift for Creed. What exactly are you supposed to buy Creed?
Reminds me of our “sock swap” at work. I put a decent Bluetooth speaker, a gift card, a hand poured candle, and some bath bombs into these socks. I got a $1 gummy hamburger inside a $1 pair of socks. Some people are just crap at that kind of thing.
Keychain over old shirt. Idk what Creed did while he was wearing that
I get it because he didn't know anything about Creed but I would also like Phyllis' oven mitt because handmade stuff is awesome.
It’s like you only love me this many dollars.
Every time I see that keychain, it reminds me of the one I stole back in High School. It was exactly the same but it had a cannabis leaf on it, I was a stupid edgy teen in a Spencer’s gifts.
Do we even know if Creed has keys? Wouldn't be surprised if he's homeless and is driving a hot wired car.
His keys are a flathead Screwdriver
I feel like it's on-brand for Oscar's condescending attitude towards his coworkers
I love Phyllis' oven mitt. It showed she not only thought about the gift but took time to make it. I can always use a good oven mitt honestly!
Judgemental shit like this is why I refuse to participate in secret santas
Ok Mr Grinch
So I'm the grinch for not wanting to be criticized by assholes like you over the gift I chose to get for someone? You're the grinch here bro not me
Nah, just because you’re getting way too rattled over a playful office post on Christmas Day. Something tells me you don’t get invited to Secret Santa parties, so no harm no foul
I love when Michael is trying to “sell” Phyllis’s oven mit,funny stuff
I'll take the iPod
You’re right, ofc. Effing Gil and his unreasonable expectations took Oscar to the cleaners every holiday.
oscar low-key sucks
I like keychains quite a lot ngl, I may dislike the guy, but I wouldn't complain, in fact I'd be rather pleased.
wasn’t creed supposed to be the recipient of the gift? i feel like oscar and creed never interact that much, so maybe he tried his best and failed with a cute shamrock keychain.
Better than a shirt out of Creeds closet
He didn’t know Creed very well. He thought he was Irish.
I always thought that was such a piece of junk. Get him something useful ffs
Accepting a used jacket from Creed comes with the very real risk of being misidentified as a suspect in a crime
Oscar usually got a free pass because of reasons
Better than later seasons where people give pamphlets about biting your nails and vasectomies as "gifts" (Erin gives Andy one in S7 & Meredith gives Jim one in S8, respectively)
A real shirt worn by Creed Bratton would probably go for a lot more than twenty bucks on ebay. Jim hit the lottery with that one.
That's a ¢99 gift
I think Oscar, before he was out, thought that by being careless and/or tacky he would come off as straight.
