A list of series-defining funny moments for the original version of ''The Office''

* Classic ones are probably "Free Love on the Free Love Freeway" and David's dancing. Oh, that dancing... shudder.
* Not to forget, from the very first episode: "He's put my stapler inside a jelly again!"
* Keith, on the differences between British and American English:
-->'''Keith:''' Word of warning then, out there they call them "fanny packs"...\\
''pause''\\
'''Keith:''' Cause fanny means your arse over there...\\
''extremely long pause''\\
'''Keith:''' ... not your minge.
* Keith's performance review is pretty funny too...
-->'''David:''' Under "strengths", you've written "Accounting"...
--> and under 'weaknesses' you've put 'eczma'
* Absolutely anything 'Training' episode, "I THINK THERE'S BEEN A RAPE UP THERE!"
** And Gareth is taking notes.
* The Series Two episode where Gareth puts a very sexual phone call on speakerphone accidentally. Made even funnier by Tim's absolutely flabbergasted face.
* Gareth's rambling about the imaginary sniper on the roof across David's senile dad's retirement home.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsvkEn-6Y5w If you don't know me by know...]]
* David explaining how hard it would be to try to be funny when he just got fired. He even shows his (probably expensive) "chicken rider" outfit, and even though your heart breaks you can't help but to suffocate from laughing.
* Creator/MackenzieCrook in general is bloody brilliant in The Office.
* Tim gluing Gareth's phone for a laugh. And then Gareth prying the phone open to answer it.
* For us literary nerds, there's this line: "Tim Canterbury...''Literature/TheCanterburyTales''. By [[Creator/GeoffreyChaucer Chaucer.]] And [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare.]]
** The fact that it took Creator/RickyGervais and Creator/MartinFreeman over 25 takes to film that scene because they kept cracking up.

** And Finchy jokingly says "stop looking up her skirt" as Davids eyes begin to wander.

--."If you do go all the way with Tim and you want me to go in ''(points at her crotch)'' there straight afterwards, make sure he wears a condom. It's sort of a rule."
* David's attempts to endear himself to the Swindon branch by telling as many jokes as he can. the deafening silence he gets allows for Tim to let out a very audible "oh..."
** He later tries to overcompensate by telling a joke about a black man's cock. Then a black employee turns up and David goes quiet. Jennifer finds out though and reprimands David.
*** David then jokes about how Jennifer needs to mellow out, possibly with some "wacky-backy". He's immediately brought back in for another scolding.
* Gareth playing with his "Dirty Bertie" toy. He finds it hilarious, but Tim finds it annoying.
