oh my god
something's happening welcome to watch
mojo and today we're counting down
our picks for the top 10 unscripted
moments from the office guess that makes
me the devil
you are you said
for this list we'll be going over the
best improvised or otherwise unplanned
moments from the american version of the
sitcom the office
to be clear we have to have found proof
they weren't scripted through
which we did using the best of our
abilities what's your favorite reported
or confirmed improvised moment from the
office
be sure to let us know about any in the
comments
number 10 santa giggles michael scott
isn't the most
understanding of bosses some of the time
so when jim lets
phyllis play the office santa michael
takes it personally
take it back that is absurd of course
he'll
do anything to prove he's the superior
santa and that includes letting kevin
a heavier gentleman sit on his lap when
can i sit on your lap
right now come on over here big boy
there we go oh my god
that's really comfortable
what follows is awkward comedic gold as
kevin waffles about what he wants for
christmas and
michael desperately tries to get his
accountant to get off of him
i really don't want to mess up on this
list
several of the actors in the background
including mindy kaling as kelly and ed
helms as andy can be seen visibly
smiling or trying not to laugh
ed helms even ducks away from the camera
between a few shots
reportedly to hide his laughter i didn't
even get to tell you what i wanted
okay you know what you get you got a
thousand helium balloons attached to you
so santa doesn't have to go through this
again
awesome number nine sail fail speaking
of ed helms
he and steve carell have several
improvised moments during this
double-length episode
you know if you want your laundry done
right i used to work at abercrombie so
pretty good folder firstly according to
dvd commentary
much of michael and andy's sales pitch
during the episode was improvised
their potential client's look of
bewilderment at andy using a sniper
rifle on a shark was real since he had
no idea the two of them would be going
off script
caught an 80 pound shark off montauk
it's in the hamptons my dad's got a 42
foot bay liner
sniped it with a rifle from the crow's
nest
another improvised moment occurred
during the second half when andy tries
to suck up to michael after the latter
talks to pam
according to helms in the episode's
commentary the script wasn't specific on
what awkward things he had to say
so he made up andy's nonsensical
responses what'd i say
you said
which is like right on pam was like
you were like yeah
nailed it number eight seed dwight
schrute can get
pretty weird so where's the sales office
when you are ready to see the sales
office the sales office will present
itself to you
in order to bring ryan howard into the
ranks of dunder mifflin sales people
he decides to stage an elaborate
initiation for the former temp
at his beet farm this begins with having
ryan plant a beet seed in a field
which dwight likens to dwight planting
his own in ryan
and just as you have planted your seed
in the ground
i am going to plant my seed in you
i think you know what you're saying this
line as well as ryan's response
were not in the script but the rest of
dwight's bizarre ritual
also contained some more improv on actor
rayne wilson's part
upon dwight demanding ryan fight his
cousin mose
ryan leaves don't ryan you don't have to
wrestle him ryan
just get in the coffin ryan
bye ryan
you seem nice where are all the animals
wilson improvised dwight's question to
mose about where all the animals are
we can only imagine what role they would
have played ryan come on i am sorry
i am sorry moses sorry too look he sent
over
uh a basket with eggs and some fat back
bacon
and look something you whittle number
seven amish
dwight's bizarre background is a source
of a lot of comedy for the show
but the strangest thing about it is that
a lot of it was made up by rayne wilson
himself
in the episode office olympics for
example he improvised the line about
living on a beet farm
which led to dwight's famous homestead
appearing later in the series
my grandfather left me a 60-acre working
beet farm i run it with my cousin mo's
we sell beets to local stores and
restaurants
it's a nice little farm
sometimes teenagers use it for sex in
addition while delivering a talking head
scene about his father
grandfather and great-grandfather dwight
claims the last of these was amish
my father's name was dwight schrute my
grandfather's name
was dwight schrute
his father's name dwight
shrewd amish according to dvd commentary
wilson originally improvised this speech
during the pilot episode
only for it to be cut out yeah i have no
problem with that
i've been recommending downsizing since
i first got here it was brought back in
season two and made it to air
and solidified dwight's background
number six
fake ailments all right who did this
i'm not mad i just want to know who did
it so i can punish them while michael's
painfully long pause from the same
episode was also not quite as scripted
with sweat and tears
we're keeping the dwight schrute train
running when michael puts dwight in
charge of choosing the office
care plan the responsibility naturally
goes to his head
number one inverted penis
could you mean vagina while looking over
claims made by the employees
dwight is angry to find people have
listed symptoms to clearly made up
diseases
leprosy flesh
eating bacteria hot dog
fingers government created
killer nano robot infection while a few
of these were in the script
several of them were invented on the
spot either by the writers themselves
wilson or even one of his friends who
was visiting the set that day
count choculitis is definitely real
though
millions of families suffer every year
number five
reaching out okay this is the last
dwight one we swear
when dwight learns that angela his then
ex-girlfriend has begun dating andy he's
absolutely heartbroken
dwight
[Music]
sitting alone in the stairwell jim goes
to comfort him relating his own
heartbreak over being rejected by pam
yeah i mean she was with roy
and uh i just couldn't take it
it's a sweet moment between two men who
are usually at each other's throats
it was awful
and it is something that i wouldn't wish
on my worst enemy
although every word is in the script
dwight reaching out to jim after jim
leaves is not
it was a bit that writer director paul
lieberstein came up with on the day
according to rayne wilson on the dvd
commentary
number four don't hey uh can i talk
about something
one of the most famous scenes in the
show's history also had a bit of improv
during casino night jim confesses his
love for pam to her
i'm in love with you what
i'm really sorry if that's weird for you
to hear but i need you to
hear it even now knowing that they get
together the scene is absolutely brutal
to watch
as most of us have liked someone who
didn't like us the same way
when pam tries to let jim down easy jim
interrupts her to tell her not to tell
him how much their friendship means to
her
you have no idea don't do that what your
friendship needs to be
come on i don't want to do that
according to jenna fisher on her office
ladies podcast
krazynski improvised his don't response
which totally wrecked her emotionally
we're right there with her number three
michael scott's tears
oh my god something's happening
michael's departure from the show is an
emotional one
both behind the scenes and on camera
towards the end of his tenure as a
manager
he hosts his final annual office award
show the dundees for one last time
sorry about the today everybody but we
were at the dmv
waiting in line fall asleep right after
sex
huh guys nope go back to the script
although it begins poorly the gang
decides to finish back at the office
there they sing the song seasons of love
with original lyrics to michael
9 986 000 minutes
that's like watching die hard 80 000
times
reportedly steve carell didn't know the
rest of the cast were going to do this
so his emotional reaction during the
scene is genuine
the tears are real for him and for us
yeah
okay
well this is gonna hurt like a mother
number two
the devil one of the most awkward and
hilarious episodes of the office sees
michael and jan
whose relationship is falling apart
throw a dinner party
the two of them make nearly everyone
uncomfortable to the point where jim and
pam consider fleeing
michael and jan seem to be playing their
own separate game
and it's called let's see how
uncomfortable we can make our guests
and they're both winning so i am going
to make a run for it michael and jen
sniping at each other
reaches the point where jan compares
herself to the devil even making horns
and a face
and i moved in and i cleaned it so i
guess that makes me the devil
you are she is she is the devil
i'm in hell this gesture was an
improvisation on actress melora harden's
part and steve carell barely avoids
breaking character with his response
with how funny this one is we're
surprised anyone could keep a straight
face
you know pam in spain they often don't
even start eating until midnight
when in rome before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions
jelly beans angela kinsey improvised her
line about not wanting them
i don't want those michael the tourist
steve carell improvised many of the new
york scenes since he kept getting
recognized
oy vane schmear
ball pop the fitness orb was supposed to
deflate slowly but
not for this take
jim halpert can't handle michael's
flasher impression
john krasinski is visibly struggling not
to break character
and we would be too he's back

number one the kiss you know what i'm
gonna raise the stakes
you don't we don't i want you to watch
this one of the series most legendary
moments was entirely
off the cuff or should it be off the
lips
after michael accidentally outs oscar as
being gay he tries to perform damage
control
with all the lack of subtlety michael is
known for during a conference
harsh words are exchanged and in a
baffling attempt to make up
michael decides to kiss oscar on the
lips
oh
the kiss was entirely improvised by
steve carell and the reaction of
everyone else in the room was unscripted
as well
the sheer degree of awkward absurdity
here is a credit to carell's comedic
genius
oh come on dwight come on man do you
agree with our picks
