The Office. Everyone's favorite modern mockumentary sitcom. The perfect blend of cringe and comedy. From start to finish, it's just a great, great show. There's something special about it, the way the characters grew, but the show still had a charm to it. One big reason The Office works is the way it balances serialized stories that take place across many episodes with stories finished in a single episode. That serialized quality makes viewers feel at home at Dunder Mifflin.
Of course, one of the best episodes of the show is "Dinner Party". In the episode, Michael Scott and his girlfriend Jan, the former Vice-President of Regional Sales at Dunder Mifflin, throw a dinner party and invite Jim and Pam, Andy and Angela, as well as an uninvited Dwight. As you can expect, it's equal parts second-hand embarrassment and gut-busting comedy. But this episode is a special one. Not only is it one of the few episodes to take place primarily outside the office (it takes place at Michael and Jan's sad little condo), the episode was actually filmed in a condo, not on a set. Dinner Party also showcases the best quirks of the characters featured. It's a flawless episode.
Dinner Party isn't just the best episode of The Office, it might be the best episode in the history of televised comedy. Why? Here are 32 moments to prove it to you, from beginning to end. From Dwight crying to Jim and Pam wanting SO BAD to leave, to Michael admitting he had 3 VASECTOMIES. Everything is absolutely brilliant.
