* Why does Bob Vance mention his business name as many times as possible? Simple: he's advertising his own business.

* Why does Bob Vance mention his business name as many times as possible? Simple - he's GenreSavvy, and has likely figured out that it's a hidden camera show; he's advertising his own business.

* In the season 6 episode "Manager and the Salesman", it is mentioned that Sabre does not have a commission cap on sales, allowing sales staff to potentially make more money than managers. However, by the season 7 episode "WUPHF.com", there is one. Why? Maybe because in the season 6 finale "Whistleblower" the information that the printers catch fire gets to the media, causing a scandal for the company. They obviously are making less money due to defective products and some customers probably no longer trusting them, so they need new ways to save money. This probably includes instituting a commissions cap.

* The warehouse worker who almost assaults Pam is not only clearly capable of hitting a woman over a petty infraction, but also has a casually misogynistic attitude before she even did anything to him. That guy was working in the same building as multiple women for who knows how long? Who knows if something already happened off-camera?

* The warehouse worker who almost assaults Pam is not only clearly capable of hitting a woman over a minor infraction but also has a casually misogynistic attitude before he she even gives him a reason to hate her. That guy was working in the same building as multiple women for who knows how long? Who knows if something already happened off-camera?

* Dwight's fire drill. WhatAnIdiot, right? But...the office did not follow any safety procedures and started panicking. It was 2009 and not one of them had the idea to use their cell phones to call for help. Despite his insane line of thinking, Dwight was right all along. What would happened if the staff was trapped in a real burning building?
--> '''Lawyer''': Did you shout "fire", causing a panic?
--> '''Dwight''': Yes I shouted "fire"! I shouted many things. I also shouted instructions on ''how to get out of the building''...

* One of the warehouse employees, Hide, is claims to be heart surgeon from Japan who his hiding from the Yakuza after deliberately botching the surgery on a high-ranking member. He isn't seen in the series finale, which is set one year after the documentary had aired around the world.

** [[AbsenteeActor Which is a trope]] lampshaded by how the office seemed to somewhat have evolved into TrueCompanions, a stark opposite from the start of the show. Pam assumed Michael was upset due to finding out that [[spoiler: his girlfriend is a married woman]], so she proposed that the whole office try to cheer him up. Michael clearly hates Toby, so when he walked out of his office the whole office [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments very vocally asked him to leave]], which actually further [[TheWoobie Woobified]] him.

* One of the earliest examples of Andy's parents' disappointment in him and his status as TheUnfavorite is when he mentions, in a talking head, that his parents originally named him Walter after his father but instead gave it to his brother when he was born and gave him the name "Andy" which they got "from a baby name book." Andy starts with "A." Implying his parents only opened the first few pages of the book before picking a name.

* During the episode "Casino Night", Oscar is the one who is opposed to giving the money to the Boy Scouts. Not only because of the reason stated, but because Oscar is gay and the Boy Scouts are sometimes perceived as homophobic.

** "''You can laugh at my behavior/ And that'll never bother me/ Say the devil is my savior/ But I don't pay no heed" (a reference to how Michael never listens to Toby when he criticizes Michael's inappropriate behavior)
** The song also contains foreshadowing about the next season:

** That ''not'' the case. Basically, Angela was in a LoveTriangle and dealt with it in an unhealthy, selfish matter. She kept her engagement going and slept with Dwight because she didn't want to choose between him or Andy. She treated Andy like crap despite him going all out for their wedding and being genuinely enamored with her and treated Dwight like crap as well, even cheating on him with Andy. Andy revealed that she had sex with him, which revealed to Dwight that Angela lied to him about having sex with him, and the two called a truce, breaking up with Angela.

* Darryl messing with Michael by outlining his "gang's" punishment ritual of "fluffy-fingers" becomes even funnier when you realise that it's probably a game he really does play with his young daughter, and that the "gang" he's discussing is in fact his family.
