Best of 'The Office' Memes

Along with being one of the most popular shows of all time, The Office has become one of the most meme-able. The internet has continuously recycled its hilarious quotes and memorable moments to create entertaining memes which can be applied to all types of situations. The show’s meme versatility is quite extraordinary – there could be a The Office meme for pretty much everything! I guarantee you're reading this thinking of one right now. Here’s a quick rundown of the most iconic Office moments that have been turned into relatable and side-splitting memes that have become staples of pop culture. 

“It’s Happening" 

When Dwight tests his colleagues with a fake fire, all hell breaks loose inside the office. Michael instructs his employees to “stay calm” whilst frantically running for his life, adopting an ‘every man for himself’ approach. This clip is best used as a meme in chaotic situations when something important is approaching, like a deadline or highly anticipated breaking news. When things are getting a little crazy, Michael Scott will be there to express how you're feeling. 

“I Declare…Bankruptcy”

When struggling financially, Michael attempts to fix his money problems by quite literally declaring bankruptcy and expecting something to happen. We’ve all felt a little like how Michael feels here, be it that gruelling week leading up to payday, or checking the bank account post-Christmas shopping. So, if you want to lift your spirits and wish you could say goodbye to your financial obligations, try declaring bankruptcy, don’t just say it. 

Jim Halpert’s Face

When Jim gives us THAT look into the camera, you know someone has said or done something totally out of pocket, usually Michael. Jim’s ‘what just happened’ face is so simple yet is probably one of the most versatile meme templates out there. If someone does something so ridiculous that you don’t even know what to say, don’t say anything. Jim’s face has got you covered. 

 

I hope these familiar Office memes reminded you of some of the show’s most quotable moments that can be loved, regardless of whether you’re a fan of the show or not.
