The Most Iconic Quotes from the Office

As one of the most iconic shows of all time, with some of the most iconic characters of all time, it’s pretty obvious that The Office has more than a few quotable one-liners. Here are a few of the best:

1. “If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice.”

If you didn’t already know how much Michael hates Toby, you do now.

2. “Sometimes I’ll start a sentence, and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way.”

This is me on every essay question for any class I’ve ever taken.

3. “Beets, Bears, Battlestar Galactica.” 

Jim taking over Dwight’s identity was one of the best pranks he pulled.

4. “Did I stutter?”

Everyone was shook in this episode at Stanley’s sudden outburst.

5. “Well, Happy Birthday Jesus. Sorry your party’s so lame.”

The ultimate quote for when you’re feeling a little sad during the holidays.

6. “I have a lot of questions. Number one, how dare you?”

A perfect representation of Kelly’s sass.

7. “Dwight, you ignorant slut!”

One of the most famous lines from the show. Gotta love a good insult.

8. “Sorry I annoyed you with my friendship.”

Andy’s life was pretty sad, but somehow, I never really felt bad for him.

9. “I feel like all my kids grew up, and then they married each other. It’s every parent’s dream.”

If you weren’t already crying in this episode (the season finale) then you may start to shed a tear here.  

10. “And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do.”

I feel like this more than I’d like to admit.

11. “I. Declare. Bankruptcy!”

Oh, Michael.

12. “‘You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.’ – Wayne Gretsky’ – Michael Scott”

Wow, that’s so smart and inspirational, Michael! How’d you ever come up with that saying?

13. “I feel God in this Chili’s tonight.”

God was in that Chili’s, blessing us with one of the best episodes of the Office ever.

14. “Everybody stay calm! Stay f*&#!#% calm!”

Arguably, the best episode.

15. “Occasionally, I’ll hit somebody with my car. So sue me.”

If only it were Toby instead of Meredith.

16. “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, before you’ve actually left them.”

I wish I could have told myself this back when I started Season 1 of this incredible show.

17. “The machine knows. Stop yelling at me!” “There’s no road here!”

All of our worst fears when following the GPS.  

18. “I’m in love with you.”

Is there a more iconic moment than this on any show ever made?  

19. “There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn’t that kind of the point?”

Who would have thought a show about a bunch of ordinary people in Scranton, Pennsylvania, selling paper, could hit me this hard in the feels.
