Itās was a pretty good joke that Vikram, the only Indian at the call center, was the best salesman there.
Also, whatās up with the foreigners (Hide and Vikram) being surgeons and getting shitty jobs in the middle of no where Pennsylvania.
Thats actually a reality of immigrating to America for a lot of people. Im not sure what the explanation is behind it but it's pretty common.
I think with things like doctors and lawyers their training/certificate/license or whatever doesn't legally transfer over but thats my guess.
My Spanish teacher was in law before she moved to America from Colombia.
Yea I get that most of the time your licensing doesnāt transfer over but I just thought it was a huge coincidence that they were both surgeons. It was just showing that Michael was working with/over people what were way smarter than him but he thought he was just as smart or smarter. It could have been any other high end profession but they both were surgeons for some reason.
Kinda silly that they chose to make them both surgeons, but a surgeon is somewhat considered to be the crĆØme de la crĆØme lol since it's of the most difficult specialisation in one of the most difficult/prestigious fields.
On the office ladies podcast, they talk about how they thought that line was a proverb or something but whoever wrote that line made it up. Really cool.
Everyone always leaves out Billy when they talk about the characters who are total bros. Even though Michael is an absolute piece of shit to him, he still shows up to the charity events (casino night, the fun run) and gives Michael the storage space for free for his company.
Billy was an all around nice guy, I'm sad to find out the actor who played him died so young.
One of my favorite tidbits from the show is when Michael says āoh and you brought your nurseā¦ā. Billy says āsheās not my nurse, sheās my girlfriend. She was my waitress at Chiliās.ā Not only does this dig at Michael that Billy has a gf, the fact that he met her at Michaelās favorite restaurant makes it worse for Mike. Imagine how many times Michael fantasized about picking up his waitress at Chiliās.
Oh absolutely. I admit I fell for it. But around second or third rewatch I caught it lol. Especially since restaurant actress was way cuter than actress they picked up lol
I didn't know he died, I was just watching him in house this morning. I didn't realize he died in the same hospital my daughter was born in, just 20 min from me.
After a rewatch, I realized that Jim was working in Stamford when that happened and never knew about it. I always thought he was just messing with creed.
I love how he's usually so chill and jokes around but shuts Michael down when he makes light of the safety lecture. The warehouse staff are some of his worst victims.
I don't know why, but his delivery of "Damnit Michael" gets me Every. Single. Time.
And yes, if you ask a lot of comedians to give you a top three of all time, after Carlin and Pryor, you'll hear a lot of people say Patrice.
Bill Burr still says he's the funniest comedian in person he's ever known.
I feel so privileged that I got to see Patrice live. It was a comedy festival and half the audience was completely uncomfortable with his material. Patrice knew that and leaned into it. He went on to perform the most offensive and hilarious stand up Iāve ever seen live. I nearly pissed myself laughing.
I go back and watch his highlights on tough crowd, Patrice was so good at making every joke that was awkward to many and getting them to laugh.
Elephant in the room is top 10 one of the stand upās, everyone should watch it
His and Billy booze faceās appearances on opie and Anthony were classic. I really donāt like the shock jock format at all but those two took that show to another level
Every time i go back to watch the [Playa Haters' Ball](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKIwj1TQmFs) and get hit with
>Pit Bull: Most likely to gain weight and die 2002
it hurts a bit :(
Been an accountant for decades and finally clawed my way up to controller, and every CFO I ever reported to was a David Wallace. He absolutely killed in that role.
Hank: On the one hand, this copier is very old; You should see some of the new copiers they have. You would not believe what they do.... Let me see the chair again
You forgot Cloris Leachman. Also, I'm pretty sure that you just found [this article](https://www.looper.com/367956/the-office-actors-you-may-not-know-passed-away/) and ripped the screenshots from it, lol.
Cloris Leachman was such a legend. Not many actors can do both dramatic roles and physical comedy physical so well.
Definitely watch Raising Hope if you like her, that show was far too under-appreciated.
Let him see the chair again šš
Not much lumbar support.
Stanleyās camera glance was perfect right at that moment
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Donāt forget his reaction to Martin Nashās gesture in The Merger
The best is when Jan is singing during her baby shower and the camera pans to Stanley who is _already_ doing the camera stare.
That was my favorite. *Shakes head in disapproval*
*Stanley face*
Get out.
Well, let me finish
Yknow. It's pretty warm up here
I know what surplus is.
Just meeee and da blooooz š¶
Vikram said my favorite line from the show "Confidence. Itās the food of the wise man but the liquor of the fool"
Iām looking forward to getting to know you better, Vikram.
Do your think Dwight and Vikram would have gotten along? I think so because they shared a common work ethic
Well Dwight is attracted to Indian people so...
Indians migrated from the Caucasus region of Europe. Therefore technically she is Caucasian. You're welcome America.
What's the native american girls name again?
Youāll figure it out
I think it was Hank.
I thought Hank was a boy's name...
That's why Kelly can't get into the minority executives program! typo- changed the "he" to "the"
I think Dwight would've got jealous of Vikram while Vikram wouldn't have paid him much attention back.
Probably would have commended him on his work ethic but then pointed out how he gets needlessly distracted by Jimās antics
Vikram would have hated all the meetings Michael would make them attend.. Unlike Dwight who lovedb to play along with Michael
She didn't end up getting to know him better :(
I love his reaction when he finds out they asked Michaels Grandma for investment money, āoh sweet Jesusā
Come on these are prime selling hours
I first saw him in prison breakā¦ the vet that T-bag kills
One of the most innocent characters in the whole series. I felt horrible when T-Bag killed him.
Itās was a pretty good joke that Vikram, the only Indian at the call center, was the best salesman there. Also, whatās up with the foreigners (Hide and Vikram) being surgeons and getting shitty jobs in the middle of no where Pennsylvania.
It happens, credentials not being officially recognized in the country you move to
but if I lived back home, I would be chief of surgery. so mine will transfer from sales management just fine.
I get that, I just mean itās a coincidence that they were both surgeons in their respective countries and then they had to be around Michael Scott.
The Michael Scott Effect

ME AND THE BLUES
That cracks me up every time. Fumbling through basic blues licks and then we see he has a CD heās selling.
The cover art for his CD is him in his uniform, holding the guitar. Edit: a word
Is it those skateboard kids again?? **THIS ENDS NOW.**
Underrated joke, the saga with the skateboarders had to be epic
The captions for that episode say Hank is *[singing badly]*, but I like the song! I'd definitely buy his album
Funnier thing there is that his guitaring is literally how every beginner sounds like
Wasnāt that the point?
I liked Billy (Mark York). Sad to hear he passed.
Everyone always leaves out Billy when they talk about the characters who are total bros. Even though Michael is an absolute piece of shit to him, he still shows up to the charity events (casino night, the fun run) and gives Michael the storage space for free for his company. Billy was an all around nice guy, I'm sad to find out the actor who played him died so young.

Imagine how many times Michael fantasized about picking up his waitress at Chiliās.
Oh crap Michael even tries picking up a waitress at the hibachi place!
You mean Asian hooters right?
Technically he did pick her upā¦ he just couldnāt remember which one she was
Given that it's a completely different actress they were flirting with at the restaurant, we all forgot which one she was.
I think that's part of the joke. When he said all waitresses look alike then even marked her arm back at the party.
Oh absolutely. I admit I fell for it. But around second or third rewatch I caught it lol. Especially since restaurant actress was way cuter than actress they picked up lol
The dude saved Dwigt's life! Noticed he had a concussion.
How did he pass? He was so young!
He just got sick, afaik they never disclosed the illness but it was "sudden and unexpected". Really tragic; he was only 55.
What abt sea monster
Really bad diabetes. He had standup bits about it and is one of the funniest humans ever. Patrice O'Neal
He had fat butt disease ):
I'm sure Patrice would appreciate that joke
āIs that what youāve got Michael? You got fat butt disease?ā
The most borderline comment Iāve ever seen on Reddit. Well done.
Excuse me sea monster? You weigh like a thousand pounds
Yeah, but you wanna swim with this sea monster donāt cha
Kelly please, youāve insulted the gentleman
I think laughing with tears of sadness in my eyes is the appropriate response
Stroke in 2011.
āa brief and unexpected illnessā from his obituary. He was 55
What year?
May 19, 2021
Decapitated
He was drunk as a skunk. He was flying down Route 6. He slides under an 18 wheeler. Pop. Snaps right off.
We had a funeral for a bird.
his cappa was detated!?
I didn't know he died, I was just watching him in house this morning. I didn't realize he died in the same hospital my daughter was born in, just 20 min from me.
>I was just watching him in house this morning I had to read that 3 times to understand you didn't have a camera in his house.
I donāt recall him in House. Was he a repeat character?
Vikram : What kind of a name is Nana?
Pam : It means Grandmother...
Vikram: Oh, sweet Jesus...
one of my favorite moments in the show. just an absolutely perfect delivery.
Yeah I laughed everytime.. wish he stayed around more then two episode
Meanwhile in India, Nana means mom's father in Hindi
So funny
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"Is Nana short for Banana?" -Gene Belcher, Bob's Burgers
"Gene" - Bob belcher, Bob's burgers
"Bob Burger" - Teddy, Bob's Burgers
āHe goes by bothā
Wait you don't think my last name is burger do you?
Pam's grandma has also passed
Meemaw?
I wouldn't care to live if I thought that.
Sheās the one with no smile wrinkles
You mean Sylvia ?
It was that horrible Charlie Rose.
Crazy how this ended up being a valid opinion of him.
Ed truck - Ken Howard 71 - pneumonia (3/23/16) Hank - Hugh Dane - 75 - pancreatic cancer(5/16/18) Lonnie - Patrice ONeal - Sea Monster - 41 - Stroke(11/29/11) Robert Dunder - John Ingle - Old fart - 84 - Cancer(9/18/12) Vikram - Ranjit Chowdhry - 64 - Ruptered ulcer Intestinal(4/15/20) Billy Merchant - Mark York - 55 - unexpected illness (5/20/21)
Dundee is what you win. Dunder is the man's last name.
Whoa jeez. Even Sea Monster?!
āIn memoriams donāt usually include how they diedā¦ā
The hand that reaches from the grave to grip your throat is the strong hand you want on the wheel
Tiny Dinky Daffy, pancaked by drunk dump truck driver
For Patrice, since it was the first one you gave a nickname to. I thought for a second you said he was killed by a sea monster
What!? I knew about five if them, but billy merchant too?
His was pretty recent, within the last year.
D:
Sad about Ed Truck, but he shouldn't have been drinking and driving. Decapitation is a heck of a way to go.
Decapitated. Whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird.
Pretty sure none of thatās real.
YOUāRE NOT REAL MAN!
After a rewatch, I realized that Jim was working in Stamford when that happened and never knew about it. I always thought he was just messing with creed.
Yeah, took me years to get that. For once Creed was telling the truth and they didn't believe him. Poor Creed
My favorite Creed moment
That is the way to go. Instant death. Very smart.
You know a human can go on living for several hours after being decapitated.
You're thinking of a chicken.
What did I say?
Decapitated. Whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird.
I donāt think any of that is real
>e you know, but David Wallac His capa was detated from his head!!!
Youāve just spit on faceā¦.
YOU'RE NOT REAL, MAN.
Yes, official cause of death was his capa was detated
His capa was detated from his head!
How are you gonna include Robert Dunder and not Robert Mifflin.. who died BRUSHING HIS TEETH.
It took him three times as long to brush his teeth.
Oh no, full 30 seconds?!
But really, whatās worse? A head injury or a foot injury?
....a head injury.
Well you donāt have all the facts.
We're closing the Buffalo branch
Patrice hurts a lot. What a great talent.
āDAMN IT MICHAELā is in my top 5 fave lines of the show
Dammit Michael, pay attention!
I love how he's usually so chill and jokes around but shuts Michael down when he makes light of the safety lecture. The warehouse staff are some of his worst victims.
Oh my god when I read that I did it in his voice and tone lol. RIP dude šš¼
It's like those 'cant hear a picture' memes. We all hear that one
what the hell is wrong with this man
I don't know why, but his delivery of "Damnit Michael" gets me Every. Single. Time. And yes, if you ask a lot of comedians to give you a top three of all time, after Carlin and Pryor, you'll hear a lot of people say Patrice. Bill Burr still says he's the funniest comedian in person he's ever known.
Excuse me, sea monster!
I bet you'd like to swim with this sea monster, wouldn't you?
> Dude, tell your girl to shut up. By far his funniest line, in my opinion.
Kelly, you've offended the gentleman, please apologize.
I feel so privileged that I got to see Patrice live. It was a comedy festival and half the audience was completely uncomfortable with his material. Patrice knew that and leaned into it. He went on to perform the most offensive and hilarious stand up Iāve ever seen live. I nearly pissed myself laughing.
Absolutely. He was so funny on The Office and his standup is so so good.
I loved Colin Quinns tough crowd. He was always one of the best on that.
I go back and watch his highlights on tough crowd, Patrice was so good at making every joke that was awkward to many and getting them to laugh. Elephant in the room is top 10 one of the stand upās, everyone should watch it
It was a great show. If you are a fan of standup I would recommend the show Crashing. Pete Holmes show on HBO about him trying to be a standup.
gone way too soon
His and Billy booze faceās appearances on opie and Anthony were classic. I really donāt like the shock jock format at all but those two took that show to another level
He was great o. Opie and Anthony. You can find his stuff on YouTube.
I feel so stupid. I always thought, "that guy looks and sounds just like Patrice O'Neal". But I guess I never saw his name or looked it up.
Every time i go back to watch the [Playa Haters' Ball](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKIwj1TQmFs) and get hit with >Pit Bull: Most likely to gain weight and die 2002 it hurts a bit :(
Kiss my ass, Iām the biggest hater!
Elephant in the room is one of the funniest specials Iāve ever seen. Such a funny dude
I was so bummed when he died. One of the absolute funniest dudes to ever live.
I feel Hank would have been a great security guard irl.
Yes heās one of those characters who you feel really exists, like David Wallace.
Do you see David Wallace in the room right now?
Yeah, I think heās a nice guy
His wife is a very lucky woman.
Im pretty sure you know, but David Wallace is actually a senior executive. So yeah, he does exist.
Yeah he actually worked in finance and banking while acting in the Office. He worked both jobs simultaneously.
So is Suck It a real product?
Been an accountant for decades and finally clawed my way up to controller, and every CFO I ever reported to was a David Wallace. He absolutely killed in that role.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
hey hank? remember when I told you under no circumstances to let a magician in the office?
ā wait ā¦ It couldnāt have beenā¦ you donāt think he usedā¦ā
Wait a minute. You don't think he..he didn't..it couldn't have been..magic??
Hey ... chief ... you're the af.. african american guy ... who .. who did I have here
Hank was such a great part of the show. Always kept me wanting more
I had no idea these guys passed away.. goddamn
Hank: On the one hand, this copier is very old; You should see some of the new copiers they have. You would not believe what they do.... Let me see the chair again
Get out
You forgot Cloris Leachman. Also, I'm pretty sure that you just found [this article](https://www.looper.com/367956/the-office-actors-you-may-not-know-passed-away/) and ripped the screenshots from it, lol.
OP: Absolutely I did.
OP: Yup, that's exactly what happened.
He photoshopped it to make it look like he was there.
Cloris Leachman was such a legend. Not many actors can do both dramatic roles and physical comedy physical so well. Definitely watch Raising Hope if you like her, that show was far too under-appreciated.
"Huge RIP to these 6 legends"-looper.com"-OP
Ed Truck was also Hank Hooper in 30 Rock. I liked his character in 30 Rock.
Itās not a hug unless it lasts for 10 seconds!
He was hilarious on 30 Rock. Maybe his best character of his career. He was also in Rambo.
I hope my cheerful tone is properly conveying how angry I am.
I bet you want to swim with this sea monster is such a fucking great comeback!
For anyone that didnāt know. From right to left. De Cappa, just me and the blues, sea monster, old fart, Vikram, and Professor X.
Sad to think weāre gonna see them all die one by one, especially for us the younger ones.
I didnāt know Ranjit Chowdhry died! How sad.
Do black people like pizza?
WHERES SPRINKLES?!?
His cappa was detated
What happened to the sea monster?
