Top 15 Cold Opens From "The Office"

If you're an avid fan of"the Office" like me, the you're familiar with the hilarious opening scenes before the credits.

Let's countdown the 15 best cold opens:

15. Hiya Buddy in "The Deposition" (Season 4)

Michael asks Pam to give him notes during meetings so it seems like he has important clients (like Buddy, the hotdog).

Watch the video here!

14. Michael stares at Ryan in "The Carpet" (Season 2)

Michael's infatuation with Ryan is still one of the funniest things. Remember Ryan's "Hottest in the Office" Dundie? Or Michael's diary entry about Ryan, who is "just as hot as Jan, but in a different way"? Endless awkward entertainment.

13. Michael's Casual Friday jeans in "The Client" (Season 2)


It takes a special kind of man to dry clean his jeans and that man is Michael Scott.

12. Creed eating ramen in "Niagara" (Season 6)

Let's just appreciate the fact that Creed is eating ramen during this scene.

Fun facts: Creed Bratton has his own website, which includes info about his upcoming music tours. There is also a Creed Thoughts Twitter account.

11. The DVD Logo in "Launch Party" (Season 4)

Watching the DVD logo hit the corner of the screen is such a satisfying experience.

Watch the video here!

10. Dwight's Fitness Orb in "Performance Review" (Season 2)

The Dwight and Jim dynamic never gets old.

9. Pavlov Prank in "Phyllis' Wedding" (Season 3)

I've always wanted to try this prank on someone.

8. Michael makes a video for his future son in "Ben Franklin" (Season 3)


Michael: To jump start a car, first pop the hood. Then you take these bad boys and clip them anywhere on the engine. Then you take these and clip them wherever.

Maybe don't take Michael's advice of how to jump-start a car...

7. Michael puts his face in wet cement in "Did I Stutter" (Season 4)


The term "face hole" always makes me crack up. Watch the opening of this episode on Netflix to experience the full hilarity of the moment.

6. Asian Jim in "Andy's Ancestry" (Season 9)

Dwight: I don't know who you are, but you are not Jim. This is Jim!
[Dwight shows Asian Jim the Halpert family portrait, but notices that Jim and the kids have been replaced with Asian Jim and Half-Asian kids]

Jim is so dedicated to his pranks, even including Half-Asian children in their family portrait.

5. Faxes to "Future Dwight" in "Branch Closing" (Season 3)


Even while away from the Scranton branch, Jim's prank game is strong.

4. Vending Machine Prank in "Booze Cruise" (Season 2)


Making Dwight use nickels to get his stuff back was a nice touch.

Watch the video here!

3. Dwight's gift-wrapped desk in "Moroccan Christmas" (Season 5)

I wonder how long it actually took Jim to wrap Dwight's desk.

2. Harvey, the computer in "Traveling Salesman" (Season 3)

Gotta love typo humor mixed with failed sexual humor.

1. Jim Impersonates Dwight in "Product Recall" (Season 3)

This prank only cost $11, but not all of Jim's pranks were cheap. If you were curious, here is a Buzzfeed article about someone on Reddit who calculated how much money Jim spent on all of his pranks. $5,590.95!

As an extra, here's a hilarious Office blooper:


How you know you're a true Office fan: when you quote lines from the bloopers.


Unfortunately, I wasn't able to include all of the great cold opens, so here is a list of every single cold open from The Office. Feel free to comment with your favorite hilarious/awkward Office moments!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
