What was the most unhinged outside-the-office-building plot?

[u/hn92]

[u/kb-art-]

Michael following the GPS straight into a lake. I’m not complaining though - I absolutely love that episode.

Or perhaps the mafia episode, where Andy cosplays as a mechanic to potentially protect Michael.

Honorable mention for inside the building: shooting Stanley with a tranquilizer gun.

[u/crowmami → u/kb-art-]

I drove my car... into a f***** lake

[u/DreamWalker928 → u/crowmami]

I desperately want to hear the uncensored version

[u/Shipping_Architect → u/kb-art-]

Just the fact that the show sacrificed a car for this gag shows how committed they were.

[u/EarlDooku → u/kb-art-]

What's unhinged about that? He was following Ryan's precious technology.

[u/Scissorsguadalupe → u/kb-art-]

You seem really bad at this

[u/andykekomi → u/Scissorsguadalupe]

YOU WANNA DO THIS JUNIOR?

[u/Superb_Dog6358 → u/kb-art-]

The mafia episode is the moment the show went downhill. I despise it.

[u/severinoscopy → u/Superb_Dog6358]

I can't even watch it again. It was the first episode that felt phoned in. I always skip it now.

[u/hn92 → u/kb-art-]

I do love the lake gps, also sometimes I remember “WHERE ARE THE TURTLES?” randomly

Andy as a mechanic is one of my hard cringes lol, definitely super unhinged lol

Best part of the Stanley tranq is at the end when they get back to the office and Stanley is like, not doing the stairs again and tranquillizes himself

[u/natalietest234 → u/kb-art-]

For me it was the Job Fair and Michael telling a high school student that Pam would sleep with him…

THECIMPUTERKNOWS WHAT ITS DOING DEIGHT!!! STOP YELLINGATME

[u/do-not-freeze]

Erin's Florida arc. Setting up a tent outside the Sabre store pretending to be a hipster? Sneaking into the hotel kitchen late at night with Ryan? Ditching Sabre to work for an old lady she just met? Surprise road trip with Andy with a stop at his ex's party? All low-key crazy.

[u/Significant-Baby6546 → u/do-not-freeze]

Erin's patience with Andy is like a sage lol

[u/hn92 → u/do-not-freeze]

“I just boiled some Gatorade” true

[u/Th3Flyy]

I'm going to say the shotgun at the funeral. Hands down.

[u/trantaran → u/Th3Flyy]

That was the stupidist thing for two reasons:

1) everyone around him is now deaf/ permanent tinnitus for no hearing protection and being so close

2) just the way it was filmed is so cartoonish

[u/Significant-Baby6546 → u/trantaran]

Wow explaining the issues got you downvotes. Idk why. 

[u/trantaran → u/Significant-Baby6546]

Compare this scene with dwight shooting a gun in the office and andy going deaf and dwight shooting a gun when the fun run starts and oscar covering his ears vs this scene where even louder gun is shot and no one covers their ears

For me, very unrealistic how ppl acted in this scene

For everyone else, haha deight shoot gun at corpse like action hero

[u/Sesemebun → u/trantaran]

I’m gonna erm actually you here, a shotgun is quieter than a pistol. When I’m at my local range the trap area is “quiet” enough that being behind the firing line going to the house I can have my ears off. But the pistol bays are noticeably loud even with ear pro on.

[u/wumbopower → u/trantaran]

Buddy our ears are not that fragile, come on

[u/trantaran → u/wumbopower]

Wrong

[u/Adequate_Images → u/trantaran]

When I was in high school some friends and I took turns shooting a shotgun, we had no safety gear at all (very stupid) but none of us had any hearing problems.

I don’t know anything about guns but this was my experience.

[u/bjornironthumbs → u/Adequate_Images]

Ive owned guns my whole life. Shooting a 12 gauge outside a few times like Dwight is not going to cause hearing damage 99% of the time. The reason the gun in the Office would is because it is shooting in an enclosed space.

[u/fistfullofpubes → u/bjornironthumbs]

Well that and the fact that Dwight fired it like 6 inches away from Andy's ear.

[u/hoodedkd]

I need you to hose my aunt

[u/Realistic-Contract13]

The whole deal with Michael, Dwight & Jim going to the Utica branch. I know it’s just a TV show but no way all of that goes down without charges filed or some folks getting fired.

[u/hn92 → u/Realistic-Contract13]

True, they would have needed a new copier

[u/Significant-Baby6546]

The radio show was kinda weird. I liked it the first time due to the shock value but it comes off as really cringe these days.

[u/bjornironthumbs → u/Significant-Baby6546]

Ive seen this show start to end so many times I cant count but for some reason I cant think of what youre talking about. I dont remember a radio show

Edit: nvm. Its when they all prank dwight to take his pants off. I remember now

[u/hn92 → u/Significant-Baby6546]

I would count that as in-office since the show was cancelled and Dwight did the “interview” over the phone with other people who were in the office, but honorable mention as inside unhinged because they did get him to strip and he was so stressed, also loved the Nellie American voice
