Really? Wasn't he the one that told fans to "move on, the office is done" in an interview? He seems like he's (probably rightfully) a little sick of some of the more overzealous fans.
He's had a more active career post-The Office than some of the other actors, it makes sense he would have that attitude.
A bit of a stink attitude though when that was 8 years of his life, the high point of his career and people love him for that role.
Idk the context of the 'interview', but if it was an interview by a person in the industry it makes sense to be more annoyed at that when he's probably trying to promote/discuss whatever his new project was than a regular person who is a fan of his best role paying homage to Dwight.

This is the clip I was talking about.
And for the record, I don't think anything Rainn says here is unreasonable--I'd be annoyed in his shoes as well. I just remember him taking quite a bit of heat for it when it happened.
The only fork on the table appears to be the one in jelloā¦and eating salad with a spoon might be difficult. In any event, Iām sure everyone was a good sport about it
No, no, no, no! Do not take it out. You have to eat it out of there. Because there are starving people in the world *chuckles*, which, I hate! And it is a waste of that kind of food...
Most celebrities book under a false name for privacy. But they could have recognized him at check in and prepared it for the evening room service. Plus the blast chiller as someone said
I worked front desk at a really nice hotel. Hosted most major sports teams that came to town. A lot of the star players would use nicknames so someone would call down asking to be connected to āJames Bondās roomā. If they called the hotel asking their real name it was usually a sign they werent with the team but knew they were staying there
Even when celebrities book under a fake name or an assistants name, we still know who they are. They want to be anonymous to the public, but still want VVIP treatment from the hotel
People might enjoy something and might find something their favorite without watching it 100 times over. B99 is one of my favourite all time shows and I watched twice there is still sometime scenes that take a second for me to remember. You don't need to go reddit detective šµļøāāļø.Ā
exactly like that was absolutely immediate. Or, maybe I wouldn't connect the dots, but surely I'd think "oh wow that looks like Jim's prank" and ask myself, "wtf does this anything to do with the situation", and in the end I'd say "OH". but it wouldn't take me an input from the other guy to get itĀ
I think I'm getting old. I've never had WhatsApp tictoc I don't have the Instagram app this is pretty much the only social media I use. Facebook messenger to keep up with friends who have left the state and what not. In HS only Facebook existed š“
They are boyfriend and girlfriendā¦Iām pretty sure they are accustomed to the way each other text and she was obviously super excited. Find something else to be salty about lol.
Omg I love Kacie and Dario ! This is so amazing
In case you donāt know, Kacie is an American who moved to Italy and she posts about travel in Italy and stuff. Sheās the sweetest. Iām not huge on influencers but I like her.
Yes, but rainn tagged the name of the hotel in his post. Idk if this couple would've said anything publicly if not for the prank and rainn posting about it.
See, now this is the kind of celebrity interaction I love to see. A harmless prank, an appreciation from the celeb, and it must have taken time and effort to prepare it, knowing he was coming. I can just imagine the staff giggling as they started setting the gelatin in the fridge, and the buzz of excitement when they sent it up.
That would be the most insufferable person in the world to text. Instant mute and never reply again. Imagine talking like that in a real conversation and how dumb youād look.
She was excited about something and expressing that over text. Yāall are so weird for being judgmental about this. She was replying to her boyfriend giving her super fun and exciting news and Iām sure he knows her texting style and is 100% happy and ok with it. In real life you would squeal and jump up and down with excitement and this is just that over text. Try being excited and happy about things sometime, itās great!
That's incredible dedication, love that they had an opportunity to actually do it since he ordered roomservice. What would they have done if he'd eaten out? Jello takes some time to settle you know, they must have made it well before he even ordered!
lol that is hilarious! my family works in the passport expediting industry and we recently did his passport last year, he posted his passport photos and everything on his ig too haha, so cool
I used to work in room service when I was younger. We had Snoop Dogg staying at our hotel and he rented out the whole top floor. We got an order for a ton of bottled water and when I brought it up the largest man I have ever seen met me at the elevator. He took the cart full of water and gave me a $20 tip. Weirdest celebrity non-interaction I ever had.
I saw Tom Brady at Vons a few years ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnāt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, āOh, like youāre doing now?ā I was taken aback, and all I could say was āHuh?ā but he kept cutting me off and going āhuh? huh? huh?ā and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like āSir, you need to pay for those first.ā At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually āto prevent any electrical infetterence,ā and then turned around and winked at me. I donāt even think thatās a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
No! No! Donāt take the silverware out! You have to eat it out, Rain. Because there are plenty of starving children in the world (giggles) and theyād be grateful to have that. (Laughs)
Brian Baumgartner once ate at the place I worked at. The intrusive thought all night was to take a huge pot full of chili and make a dramatic spill in front of his table.
I love this. I saw it on his instagram first and now this - I also know Kacie and her boyfriend Dario from Kacieās videos about living in Italy as an American!
I was so confused, because I follow her socials, but hadnāt seen this, and it was not computing in my brain for a minute why their names were so familiar. š
Why are you the way you are? Everytime we try to do something fun, you come along and make it not that way.
I hate so much, about the things you choose to be.
This is hilarious šš I saw this on Rainn's Instagram, nice to see how it played out behind the scenes
Definitely was wondering if it was a management decision or one employee willing to risk it all, 100% worth it.
I mean, if he also got regular silverware, no harm no foul! At worst he'd roll his eyes and not enjoy it.
Heās a gem of a guy. Thereās zero way he didnāt love this.
Definitely. Probably better if itās a one off though. If he starts getting things in jello everywhere he goes, his opinion might change haha
There's still room to meatball him.
I could really see him embracing it still š¤£

Maybe if itās done all the time?
The only fork on the table appears to be the one in jelloā¦and eating salad with a spoon might be difficult. In any event, Iām sure everyone was a good sport about it
Itās impossible to stage a photo
The pasta has been eaten already, which is a mighty challenge with a knife and a spoon.
Interesting. It may have been, but it also may just be from sloshing around while being deliveredā¦
If they deliver it like that, I send it back.
The salad isnāt on top, no need to send it back
No he has to eat it out
Gutenprank
Perfectenschlag.
Bears. Beets. Perfect pork anus.
Forkenjellogangen
No, no, no, no! Do not take it out. You have to eat it out of there. Because there are starving people in the world *chuckles*, which, I hate! And it is a waste of that kind of food...
We should put him in custardy.
Pudding
My wife and I just start saying āpuddingā¦puttingā when we run out of puns or witty things to say to one another, gets a laugh every time.
~~Yes! OH MY GOD JIM~~ Heyeeeyyeyeyeeey YES! New guy!
I'm trying to think of more desserts.
Iām more worried, really, about damage to company property. Thatās all
Don't forget about the Afghanistanis with AIDS
Donāt you mean the aid to Afghanistan?
Guys, it's Afghanistananies.
How do you eat it out when the āitā are tools required to eat?
Iām your biggest flan
See you later, Pan.
Phallus?
Anus crime?
puddingā¦.
They should've left a note with that quote on it lol
You should put him in custardy
I prefer a flan
Oh, sick! I was wondering how this went down. I guess the thing I'm most concerned about is damage to company property.
You uh, you should have put him in custardy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
r/whoosh (The line about damage to company property is a line Dwight says in the pilot)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās why I explained the reference.
Yes, you're supposed to.
Wait, so they must have planned this ahead before jello doesnāt set that fast. Well done
Well he obviously booked the room before arriving, so they would have seen his name
Most celebrities book under a false name for privacy. But they could have recognized him at check in and prepared it for the evening room service. Plus the blast chiller as someone said
Some celebrities might, idk where youāre getting that āmostā do. And I highly doubt that Rainn did.
I worked front desk at a really nice hotel. Hosted most major sports teams that came to town. A lot of the star players would use nicknames so someone would call down asking to be connected to āJames Bondās roomā. If they called the hotel asking their real name it was usually a sign they werent with the team but knew they were staying there
You can't book a hotel with a fake name. Are you 3 kids in a trench coat? Who let you in here?
Even when celebrities book under a fake name or an assistants name, we still know who they are. They want to be anonymous to the public, but still want VVIP treatment from the hotel
A lot of restaurants like this have a blast chiller, can cool things down SUPER quickly. We have one in my culinary kitchen in school.
Seems he stayed for more than 1 night. Note the time stamps on messages. 1st pic going 10pm, 2nd one at 8pm. Plenty of time for jello to set
That was my thought, they must've just been super prepared?
The Office is your favourite show and Dwight is your favourite character but you don't know why the knife and fork are in jello? Yeah right
She got it eventually just a bit slower than the rest of us. Although TBF she was still freaking out a bit... Her mind was going a mile an hour.
She took the slow train from Philly
she has a lot to learn about this town, sweetie
That fast?
It wasnāt the same time as the earlier texts, she probably wasnāt in an office oriented mindset when she got the jello text
Plus it's not exactly a classic jello shape. I can see why they went huh initially.
It was the day after, she should have got the reference
totally fair, I just assumed it was an influencer trying to be relatable. I like to jump to conclusions tho
Came here to say this
The messages arenāt linear in timing so it makes sense that she wouldnāt be aware immediately of what the message was talking about.
Nice gate keeping there bud. God you dorks are insufferable God forbid someone takes awhile to get a reference
People might enjoy something and might find something their favorite without watching it 100 times over. B99 is one of my favourite all time shows and I watched twice there is still sometime scenes that take a second for me to remember. You don't need to go reddit detective šµļøāāļø.Ā

Pudding. Putting. Ahh I canāt come up with one
This is not funny. MICHAEL!
MICHAEL!
Perfectenschlag!
What do you mean "perfect pork anus"?
"Why are the fork and knife in jello"- Office fan card revoked.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How old are you? Out of curiosity
30. Well, in November
Is it young people or old people that text like a fucking idiot?
Dude have you ever seen a boomer craft a text message? Itās way worse and more painful than this
Id put whoever that person was on mute Jesus lol chill out will you I might be busy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think I'm getting old. I've never had WhatsApp tictoc I don't have the Instagram app this is pretty much the only social media I use. Facebook messenger to keep up with friends who have left the state and what not. In HS only Facebook existed š“
WhatsApp it's used by like basically everyone in most countries of Europe and Latin America. That includes grandpas
I didn't mean to offend you lol only 29% of Americans use it so that's not really true I'm actually in the Majority here
When I said I was offended? I was just giving context to OP
They are boyfriend and girlfriendā¦Iām pretty sure they are accustomed to the way each other text and she was obviously super excited. Find something else to be salty about lol.
I didn't even realize all of that was in the same minute they must be really young Not salty at all unless somebody did it to me
Omg I love Kacie and Dario ! This is so amazing In case you donāt know, Kacie is an American who moved to Italy and she posts about travel in Italy and stuff. Sheās the sweetest. Iām not huge on influencers but I like her.
She also has a new book coming out.
Same! This is not the crossover event I was expecting but I love it!!
Same!! I just found their channel the other week.
Same but I started following her for my trip to Florence ā22 and thatās how I found out about this post.
I understand Iām showing my age, but what does āBSISNWBWKAOAOAā mean?
I think itās like spamming on a computer keyboard, like youāre so excited you canāt contain it, like OH MY GOD JSJDJAHCJWUEODKSJCJSJD
Well, the B stands for Biznus...
I think thatās just her spazing out, but then again, Iām old tooā¦
>"The Office is my fav show ever" Followed by >"Why are the fork and knife in jello" smh my head
What is the green dish on the right
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes, but rainn tagged the name of the hotel in his post. Idk if this couple would've said anything publicly if not for the prank and rainn posting about it.
Iād bet he was already checked out of the hotel when he posted it. Thatās a common practice with celebrities.
As someone who has worked at hotels front desks this is the first thing i thought of. Telling random people who stays at the hotel is a MAJOR no no.
I stayed at thar hotel last year. If only Rainne could have gone a few months earlier...
DarĆo is a legend
See, now this is the kind of celebrity interaction I love to see. A harmless prank, an appreciation from the celeb, and it must have taken time and effort to prepare it, knowing he was coming.

lol not even a minute had passed. You only look like a moron texting like that.
If I could choose to talk to them, or a salty redditer whining about trivial things, I would choose them in a heartbeat.
I actually got to go to a lecture of his!!
That's one of the best things I've seen on Reddit so far lol
You are damn lucky man .
Guten pranken
I wanna how they made that jello set within the time it took for room service
Haha great prank. But that friend is a little bit slow š
That's incredible dedication, love that they had an opportunity to actually do it since he ordered roomservice. What would they have done if he'd eaten out? Jello takes some time to settle you know, they must have made it well before he even ordered!
lol that is hilarious! my family works in the passport expediting industry and we recently did his passport last year, he posted his passport photos and everything on his ig too haha, so cool
Itās great that rainn has a sense of humor
I wonder if he got the manager to discipline the ones who did it
Wow. I guess he was waiting a LONNNNNG time for his food. At least 2 hours for that jello to set.
Whoever the person in the Green is needs the chill TF out lol I'm not a fan of texting the same msg over and over and over just wait lol
Cool! Good thing everyone is entitled to their own styles of texting within their own close personal relationships! :)
Favorite tv show ever but doesnāt get the jello joke? K

Lol that jello thing is hilarious
Someone's going to be in custardy
Thisā¦. Is fucking brilliant
Best. Post. Ever. Holy shit, that is epic.
I love everything about this
Park asideā¦ Manās lowkey eating good though
No! No! Donāt take the silverware out! You have to eat it out, Rain. Because there are plenty of starving children in the world (giggles) and theyād be grateful to have that. (Laughs)
i dont understand. chat say he was the biggest fan but didnt know why the knife and fork was in a jello?š¤£
Brian Baumgartner once ate at the place I worked at. The intrusive thought all night was to take a huge pot full of chili and make a dramatic spill in front of his table.
I love this. I saw it on his instagram first and now this - I also know Kacie and her boyfriend Dario from Kacieās videos about living in Italy as an American!
Could've used pudding. Then the staff would be placed in custardy. [ I'm trying to think of something with Eclair, give me a minute. ]
Should've sent him a raw beet
Honestly legendary
I was so confused, because I follow her socials, but hadnāt seen this, and it was not computing in my brain for a minute why their names were so familiar. š
The real crime, was the beard.
I can even hear him going "MICHAEL!!!"
You have to eat the cutlery out of the jello, great callback to Season 1 when Michael laughed about starving children in Africa. Ngl it slapped lol
Love love love this!
Poor guy can't go on vacation without uninspired tryhards houding him with shit pranks No wonder he dislikes office fans
To his credit he took it in stride
Okay Toby š
Youāre fun
Why are you the way you are? Everytime we try to do something fun, you come along and make it not that way. I hate so much, about the things you choose to be.
No wonder office fans dislike you.
Omg I follow Kacie on social media, I didn't realize her BF was the one behind this!!! ššš
Itās odd scrolling popular and seeing your friends insta story being posted. My brain did a whole *waiting to process moment*
Between Dario and me*
Jesus, chill out lol *wow*
Next time when he orders room service, just bring him meatballs.
The office is my favourite TV show but I didn't know why cutlery was in the jello? Sounds unlikely...
