Loved this show, but never really understood why Michael hated Toby so much...
PMmeurPuppies
I knew how to use it before watching this, but it confused me so much I actually forgot

I wish I could read as fast as tv is

This needs to be top comment imo. +1
ladydoobington
I hate so much about the things you choose to be...
morrissimo
yes! my favorite Michael-to-Toby line ...it's just such a horribly horrible thing to say to someone :D

Why don't you take a letter opener and stick it into your skull?

Ryan turned into a real asshole as the show went on.
Ultrafire3
(do we ever find out why he doesn't like toby?)

lost it at: Ryan used me as an object
HowDoYouMakeAnElephantFloat
Binge watching season 4 right now. Proof: PowerPoint is downloading updates during this bit
Smallbritguy
ahhhhhhhh this show!
theLorknessMonster
Kelly's line there is definitely the best ones in the entire show.
ojipog
i agree, too bad it's missing here!

PlantyThePlant
Whom cares?
ThenIDefyYouStars
And Michael used the wrong word in the last frame. Good job, buddy.
irritabletom
I liked how Jim was always nice to Toby until he was manager and then he instantly turned on him.
saymynamebiatch
reminder: I need to watch this show.... right after all the Doctor Who Classics... and the 16373 animes suggested here....

This is how my company's sales meetings go. Best part

"Wait, I'm the little man?"
MrNotAnonymous
If I was stuck in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, and Toby, and I had only two bullets, I would shoot Toby twice.
marchythird
Lmao this one gets me every time!
thorinsbeard
Shoot bin Laden and hitler, then club Tony with the gun and slowly choke him to death. Way more fun.
RJWaters
why waste the bullets? both are already dead just shoot toby in both kneecaps and then slowly choke him to death
LordeLordeLordeYaYaYa
I love how irrational his hate for Toby was.
MrNotAnonymous
"I love irrational hate." --LordeLordeLordeYaYaYa
LordeLordeLordeYaYaYa
Not as much as I hate rational love. Yerghh
edzellblue
The correct use of whom is to not use it since it's an archaic word like whence or thine.
JR2000
What? No its not archaic. It's still very much in use.
BurlRavenscroft
Thou must be a hoot at shindigs
christopheraia
Lost it at Kelly
aspgrabber
I think the real crime was the beard.
marchythird
One of the best scenes in the show. Really shows the minds of the writers.
ActualCannibalShia
Such a great digression. By the time they established the correct usage I had completely forgotten how it all started.
Itzzzel
one of my favs is the mega desk!
IronicUsername
Agreed, love this scene.
hugglesthemerciless
If that's the best then no wonder I can't watch it. Cuz that's kinda bad
Rogahar
I'm with you there. I get that hearing it spoken might improve it but if this is 'one of the best' it sets the bar pretty low.
dag311
You take that back
icouldntmakeitasapunker
...i always thought Toby was kind of cute.
flamingflamingo
I thought so too until I rewatched it. Then I found him irredeemably creepy.
yenwood
I thought Toby was creepy, but I loved episodes with him because I sympathize with Michael's random irrational hatred for him.
AWizardOfLoneliness
*whoever's name is toby
gotchasucka
Fucking Toby.
MagicSoakingMySpine
That guy fucks
TwoRightFeet
(1/2) Best way to remember: If you reworded the sentence and used him = whom, if you used he = who.
jamandtoast
Came for this, left satisfied.
TwoRightFeet
Ex. "So you can contact whomever" -> "So you can contact him" | "Whoever did this will be punished" = "He did this and will be punished"
HeyItsHerrTrigger
oh. well there you go.
lonelylinguist
Subordinate clauses trip people up. “I like whoever posted this” (he posted this); “I’ll upvote whomever you upvote” (you upvote him).
CouldBeWorseButterfly
I have started watching this show because of all the pics, gifs and youtube videos. I didn' even go to the beggining i started like at s07
BenSwol0
Seasons 2-4 are by far the best.
renotime
Seasons 1 - 3 are really worth checking out!
ActualCannibalShia
That's like the worst season to start at. So much has already been established and so much is about to change...

lol calm down it's just "the office"
PeruvianSinatra
I dont even care bro, its your loss. Watch one of the best comedys ever made as you please. I already did sooo...
Viccica
I never got the Toby hate. The whole time I watched the show I just wanted ONE good thing to happen to him :'(
hunterlouise
HE'S THE WORST!
CaptainHaribo
There's not really anything to "get", it's supposed to be irrational and you're supposed to sympathise with him.
eyeswulf
Here is an article discussing that a bit: http://rulefortytwo.com/articles-essays/movies/office-writer-actors/
Viccica
Interesting read thank you!
koopaya
It's really just Michael who hates him. Toby is in HR and is always drawing lines and shutting down Michael's... projects.
Viccica
Even the writers though! Toby had nothing but bad things happen to him, even when it was supposed to be good.
IDevelopGamesAndShitButMainlyGames
Toby's actor is one of the main writers or director or something though.
Viccica
TIL
swegcity
I didn't get it till he got annoying as heck in the last season
ActualCannibalShia
"I've got four roommates now. Roommates are better than friends because they have to tell you a month before they leave"
quicktochuckle
Yeah, but think how you'd end up after years of that shit at work.
Viccica
I mean like if your boss is telling you to fuck off every day you might get ornery too.
neogreenlantern
I always expected to find out he was The Scranton Strangler, justifying Michael's irrational hate for him.
davepermen
Same.. :'(
Viccica
Seriously! He seemed like such a nice down to earth kinda guy. Just wanted to help and.. nooope.
davepermen
Totally. He seemed the most normal guy driven into a depressionlike state due to everyone bullying him. But thats why i love theoffice..
eyeswulf
It's easier to understand their arcs if you realize Toby, Ryan, and Kelly are writers/actors for the show. It's them making fun of 1/
eyeswulf
themselves. It always bugged me that their character arcs where failure arcs, until I realized, wait, they are doing this to themselves
