Even if the workplace comedy gold has been off the air since 2013, the die-hard fans, I mean, virtually every person on Earth, are still finding some of the most delightful Easter eggs hiding in plain sight.
This post is gonna be a lot like detective work, but in reverse. We’re gonna point you to something that was right in front of you, and you’re gonna go “aaahhhh!” before rewatching the entire episode again. From David Wallace *also* having a “world’s best boss” mug to Creed wearing a heckin’ tie, jacket, and sweatpants for one episode with no one noticing, these tiny gems and background jokes are what we live for.
Oh, and die-hard The Office fans, please treat this post as a quick test of whether you still qualify for the expert badge.
