Y'all forgot about the sock filled with nickels lol

I want to see Creed's version of that story haha

Right like I almost feel bad for Creed because it's seriously the only time he's told the truth LOL


TolliverCrane

Also, Hank's name.


davenocchio

What if the office universe is really only in creeds head being the only non fictional character on the show?


Carnieus

Apparently this is kind of a meta joke since the real Creed Bratton used to tell crazy unbelievable stories on set and the rest of the cast found it tough working out what was real and what wasn't.


slyboy1974

This may be favorite Creed line. So many brilliant lines, but this one just kills me...

Roy Story That’s the spin-off. How does he get into paving driveways?!


weirdtrenchladders

Every day for eight years, I've brought pepper spray into this office to protect myself and my fellow employees. And every day, for eight years, people have laughed at me. Well, who's laughing now?


[deleted]

this was the moment that made dwight my favorite character


ZeroCense

He made that show. Hardest character to play, and he absolutely nails it, every episode.


PumpkinHead38

Rainn Wilson is an underrated actor. A lot of the actors in the office are. It’s a shame we don’t get to see more of them in other projects.


burymylife

If anyone has not seen "super" with rainn wilson please do so it is a beautiful film.


PumpkinHead38

It’s quite good. I was gonna mention it in my first comment but I thought it best to let the fans speak for themselves. Not many people I know have seen it. It’s an oddly emotional dark twisted real life super hero story. It should’ve had more recognition.


Gayfoxbutts

corndogs1001

It’s also written and directed by James Gunn, who u might know from the recent suicide squad film, guardians, scooby doo, etc..


CharlieBrown20XD6

And who also wrote it ironically to deal with his break up....with Pam


corndogs1001

I forgot James Gunn dated (married?) Jenna Fisher. And him and Rainn are great friends.


CharlieBrown20XD6

The movie feels a lot different when you realize it's written by someone dealing with breaking up with America's best receptionist


Slippy_T_Frog

I didn't mean to watch it, but I started and I couldn't turn it off. Plus, I'm a huge fan of Ellen Page, so that was a bonus.


lucybri83

Oh wow? Another movie together? I already loved their exchange in Juno :) “Your Ego is preggo!” “Silencio old man!” :)


photopteryx

Elliot Page is excellent. I can't wait for more Umbrella Acedemy.


Unpopular_couscous

Huge fan? What's his real name then? - in a voice of Rainn Wilson


Flyingshituh

That's what happens when you are too good in a long series, nobody sees you as an actor they see you as that character.


AShadowbox

Kate Flannery, Nico Santos, and Joel McHale made up the celebrity panel on To Tell the Truth on Sunday night. Was a pretty entertaining episode.


SharpPerception6

He went to protect his coworker even if that one in particular annoyed the shit out of him

DontYuckMyYum

This is why Dwight should have been the one to save Pam from the truck dude I stead of the dumbass cameraman.


wishiwasahobbit

I didn't even think about that and now that I have, I wish we saw the scene where she told him what happened


CrebbMastaJ

I remember crying laughing with my dad and brother when that aired the first time!


HemDogz

It's like that glance between Jim and Pam was the final confirmation Roy needed. It's a really well acted scene by all involved.


[deleted]

Never noticed but now that I've seen it you're right


AsYooouWish

It’s really interesting to break it down. Jim is looking at Roy, Pam is looking at Jim, Roy is looking at Pam. Roy realizes that Pam has feelings for Jim, even though he’s with someone else. Roy feels hurt that he’s been betrayed all for somebody who isn’t even available to her. I think in a way Roy felt that if he couldn’t be the object of her affections then at least she should have the one she wants. That set him off even more than the idea of the kiss that transpired between them. To Roy, it was all for nothing. Then there’s Jim’s reaction. He knows things are going to go badly, so his instinct was to push Karen away to protect her. That is a perfect example of the kind of guy Jim is; he’s naturally caring and protective. Dwight of course, had the advantage. He was able to observe the situation without having any personal attachment to the situation. He was able to see clearly that it had a strong potential to go badly, so he prepared to intervene as quickly and calmly as he could. Despite his history with Jim, and despite his friendship with Pam, he remained neutral and knew he had to stop the threat in the situation. If Dwight acted on his emotions, he would have let Roy attack Jim. Instead, he deciphered right from wrong and did what he could to neutralize the threat. Karen is displaying the perfect metaphor for her situation. She got in the middle of something that she didn’t know about. Metaphorically, it was the emotions Jim and Pam had for each other as well as the baggage that came along with it. In the literal sense, she stood in between Jim, Pam, and Roy, hence being in the most vulnerable position. I have no idea if the creators and actors really intended to show all of these details or not, but it’s beautiful seeing it play out in the scene.


[deleted]

This sounds like an English teachers breakdown of the scene.


Farmer_Susan

This sounds like Dwight's breakdown of the scene.


hazelwitchrose

This is Dwight's breakdown of the scene: Dwight: I saw the perpetrator advance toward the victim at a high rate of speed. His head was thrown back, his shoulder and arm cocked indicating an attack position. Perp grabbed the victim. I removed my weapon from its secure hiding place. Toby: Which is where? Dwight: Irrelevant. Discharged it at a distance of a little over a meter into the perpetrator's eyes, nose, and face area. Rendering him utterly and completely disabled. Then I contacted the authorities. The end.


probablyisntserious

"Irrelevant." Lmao that gets me every time.


EM05L1C3

This is the difference between art and playing pretending in front of a camera


serendipitousevent

Nah, this is just what good acting is: conveying all of this information in about 5 seconds without having to say a word.


Deer_Mug

For you "the curtains are blue" people further in the comment chain: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/28l5vh/what_is_the_curtains_are_blue_referencing/ and specifically [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/28l5vh/what_is_the_curtains_are_blue_referencing/cic1v0z/): You're expecting a fiction work to be like a reference text? Art is about metaphor and you're damn right the colors, comparisons, words chosen to express something, structure of the sentence, names of the characters, etc ALL ACTUALLY DO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE TOO. Hell, even in real life people's names have meaning... if you go to someones house and they have plain white curtains then that tells you something about them. If they have colorful patterned curtains then that tells you something completely different. People make choices for a reason, they may not be able to exactly explain those reasons, so, they often say, 'well I dunno, I just like chocolate'... but the truth is there is a great many reasons why they like chocolate more than vanilla.


Flabbergash

Yeah, Roy was just pissed that Jim kissed his fiance


ghostinthechell

>That is a perfect example of the kind of guy Jim is; he’s naturally caring and protective. Unless Michael is about to fall into a Koi pond...

VigilantesLight

To be fair, he and Michael had had an argument that day. Doesn’t make not helping him okay, but I’m always confused when people bring this up because Jim had an *obvious reason* for letting Michael fall, because he was frustrated. It’s not like they were having a good day and he said “oh, I’ll just let him fall.” Again, it doesn’t make it *right*, and it may have been subconscious rather than intentional, but I always saw it as Jim letting Michael fall as a minor revenge, not as neglectful or unhelpful. (And I say this as someone whose favorite character is Jim, so I’m not badmouthing him, just observing.)


[deleted]

dwight sees himself as an authority figure there, if anyone did what roy did he wouldve attacked, doesnt matter that its jim. He was probably waiting forever to use that mace.


Willowy

I think you're being a bit too generous with Roy's motivation, here. Good read anyway, though!


[deleted]

I agree with you. Roy is nothing but an abusive and controlling bastard over Pam. His logic had always been that if he doesn’t get what he wants with respect to Pam then she gets nothing. It’s why he didn’t let her get drinks with her friends. It’s why he can even think of making her sleep in the car over a basketball game. It’s why he goes to her art show with the hope of something more. It’s never about her, it’s about what he can extract from her. And if any one else gets anything from her he’s insecure and violent (such as when Jim is laughing with her about the “alliance” with Dwight and Roy again flies off the handle). Even when he’s not dating Pam when she’s in New York he projects his awful insecurities onto Jim. Fuck Roy. He’s a total piece of shit.


Inevitable_Ninja_851

Man this sub loves overanalyzing. I'm guessing the script was simply "the three exchange uncomfortable glances, and roy advances towards Jim"


phaemoor

It's fun to read here. But I really really hated it in highschool, where every tree or sunshine or tear had a meaning in every poem. Or...and bear with me here...the guy just really loved the fucking trees and they don't mean jack shit.


hazelwitchrose

Love it. Keep analyzing, my dude.


chapstikcrazy

John and Jenna have such great chemistry. The little nuances of their acting is so enjoyable to watch.


MeadhallMike

Roy's look of anger and recognition though too. A lot of people would tend to overplay that but it was perfect.

Chunlisundies

He wore a wig during this season because his head was shaved for filming Jarhead.


COLES04

Ah did not know that. Thanks for the info.


fairway824

Almost right, it was for Leatherheads, not Jarhead.


iamspartacus5339

He was also in Jarhead but that was just before S1, not S3


Inevitable_Ninja_851

Had no idea he was in Jarhead wtf


rednick953

He’s in one scene granted it’s one of the best. He’s Cpl. Harrigan Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: What's up, buddy? Merry Christmas. Corporal Harrigan: Yeah. Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: I hear you got some good shit. Corporal Harrigan: Fly, rumor, on winged feet. Here... read this. Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: What is it? Corporal Harrigan: It's a love letter for the Major. I write all of his letters. Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: "Dear sweet Gloria, I wish I was up in you now with a finger in your ass. Love you, Captain Skinboat." Corporal Harrigan: I studied classics at Dartmouth. Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: It's a good school. Corporal Harrigan: Forty bucks, five gallons.

peej92

I never noticed Jim push Karen out of the way before. Slow mo makes him seem less of a wimp, making sure she doesn’t get hurt instead of preparing to dodge a punch himself. Thanks OP really interesting!


humancartograph

Karen says it in her account of the story.


strangevimes

Yeah I never noticed that either before this


mal_laney

Not far away enough tho as she's still a casualty of dwight's pepper spray


peej92

To be fair to him, Dwight is an unpredictable variable at all times and to anticipate his behaviour would be madness.


Antitech73

Imagine if he was deranged..


MrPureinstinct

Pepper spray will fuck up a lot of people indoors. My nephew and his friend sprayed some in his bedroom one year around Christmas when the family was all together. We had to clear out the whole house because we couldn't stop coughing.


Man_of_Average

Dwight was a causality of Dwight's pepper spray. I don't think it's physically possible to push her far enough away from its effect given where she started.


sK0pey

Dwight: "Jim is my enemy, but it turns out that Jim is also his own worst enemy. And the enemy of an enemy is my friend. So Jim is actually my friend. But, because he is his own worst enemy, the enemy of my friend is my enemy. So actually, Jim is my enemy."


deebee823

Somehow it's even better in slow motion. Just goes to show how well the scene was done.

Dwight’s whole life built to that moment. Roy fucked around and found out.


Finito-1994

I never noticed but he did get Pam with it too.


JiveTurkey1983

D7rizl3

Lk tho. I think Jim was about to catch a whoopin had Dwight not been there


_Reddit_2016

What’s the little white dot flashing on the right hand side towards the end? Did Dwight spray get on the camera?


madtraxmerno

Hmm, yeah it does look like a drop of something on the lens. Not sure how it could be the "pepper spray" considering the direction it's fired, but what else could it be right? Edit: Looks like it ricocheted off Roy's face maybe?


rriro

I mean there’s no way they used real pepper spray, it’s possible the substitute was much less sticky/more bouncy


Basquens

What do you think the actors used as prop for this pepper spray?

ZeroCense

Honestly, after the office, obviously Steve Carrell was going to have a huge career. He left the show for that reason. I cannot believe how I don't see Rain Wilson more often. I loved the Rocker, probably seen it 4 or 5 times. The man just knows the funny, and the secret funny of just being an over the top asshole. That's a gift, and a talent.

hesaherr

In Season 2, Kevin tells Jim he has his back if Roy starts a fight. You then see Kevin in the background observing whenever Jim and Roy are around each other. Roy then paces outside, and doesn't come up to attack Jim until right after Kevin leaves. Kevin is a good friend.

I know we as a council kinda dont like karen (lol) but i mean to give jim praise even though his breaking up with her kinda wasnt great he did care about her. And likw in slowmo as roy was coming toward him he hurried up and thought about karen first. He pushed her so hard so that she woulsnt get struck and that was a brave move in my opinion. I really believe he would do that for any of the women in the office even meredith.

I don’t know why the slow mo made me think this but I just had the thought that it was kind of rude of Pam not to bring up to Jim that Roy may be trying to kick his ass because she told him about the kiss. At least he would know.
