The Best 5 Episodes of The Office

C.A. Jacobs
Over the past six seasons, The Office has had several favorite moments. This show has opened viewer's eyes to the ins and outs of an unconventionally, quirky corporate office. After watching all six seasons, here are my favorite five episodes of The Office.

Favorite Episode of The Office #1: The second episode of the first season, Diversity Day, gave the audience several moments to laugh at despite it being politically incorrect. Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, decides that the only way to teach his staff about diversity is to play a game he has titled as Diversity Tomorrow. All the staffers placed a card on their forehead with the name of a race. While each participant tries to guess the race on their forehead, conflicts arise.

Favorite Episode of The Office #2: Weight Loss, the first episode of season 5, is an one full of excitement and hilarious moments. The office competes to lose weight, and ultimately, becomes obsessed with dieting. A new HR employee, Holly, is now in the picture, and Michael cannot get enough of her. He tries to further their friendship in hopes of blossoming into something more. This hour-long episode also includes the continuation of the Andy-Dwight-Angela love triangle. Even though these moments are outstanding, my favorite moment of this episode is when Jim finally proposes to Pam.

Favorite Episode of The Office #3: In episode twenty, called Drug Test, in Season 2, Dwight finds a joint in the Dunder Mifflin parking lot and proceeds to interrogate the entire staff, even donning his volunteer sheriff uniform. However, to his dismay, Michael asks him to leave that behind in order to help out his boss. In other areas, Pam has challenged Jim to keep quiet, but ultimately, finds it to be one of the worst days to not be able to talk to her office ally.

Favorite Episode of The Office #4: In episode 26 of season five, Casual Friday, some employees take the term "casual" to a different level. HR representative, Toby, has his work cut out for him when the office has a casual Friday. Meredith, in particular, feels it is appropriate to wear a short, strapless dress. Conflicts arise when some associates are confronted about their attire.

Favorite Episode of The Office #5: Episode 12 in season six, titled Scott's Tot's, Michael is faced with quite a dilemma. Ten years ago, he promised students that he would fund their education if they graduated high school. When almost all the students graduate, Michael must find someway out of this million-dollar promise. Back at the office, Jim starts an employee of the month program that takes a turn for the worst.

Catch The Office on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on NBC this fall during Steve Carell's final season on the show.

    For some reason, I always put a period when I mean to put a question mark. Then I notice it after it's too late. I did that twice in that comment. Anyway, you know what I meant. :)

    You mean the one where Jim finally tells Pam that he loves her and they kiss didn't make your top 5. We waited sooo long for that one! I miss the days of the Jim/Pam tension. I wonder how long it will go on. I love the show, but it might have run its course. Ever watch the original British version...pretty funny, but you might need closed caption to understand it all. :)
