A couple more

- When they are at the Wallaces for a dinner party and Dwight is inspecting the house. When he's in the sleeping childs room in a rocking chair and asks the child "What kind of wood is this?", the child says " I don't know". Dwight: "What DO you know?"

-When Micheal is describing how great his imagination is because he thought of the idea of a unicorn before he had heard of one, at the age of 5. "I was only five years old, couldn't even speak yet"

-When Pam and Micheal go to Karen's office to do a sales demo or something. This is when Pam and Jim are married/engaged. Karen is pregnant and Micheal asks if it's Jims. When she says no, he continues to do the math in his head to see if it could be Jims.

I fricking love that show.

Pam: Hi, Michael.
Michael: Can't talk, saving the planet.
Pam: Oh, we don't recycle.
Michael: We don't? Well, why have I been separating the trash into whites and colors?
Pam: I'm sure no one asked you to do that.
Michael: [throws the sack of garbage onto the floor] Eight years.

Also from that episode...

The best moments, and often the most underrated, of The Office are the subtle ways Michael misreads a situation or fails to understand the meaning of words.

It was never as funny when the writers went over the top with silliness. It was suppose to be an office environment and it's the little nuanced tweaks of humor that worked best.

Might have already been posted but... The episode where Michael and the office play pickup against the warehouse. Michael misses a three and screams "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME TODAY?!?!"

Gets me every time

Idk what it's currently rated but one scene that often gets overlooked that I bust out laughing everytime at is when Jim and Dwight are talking and dwight says he can raise and lower his blood pressure at will. Jim goes "why would you want to raise your blood pressure?" and dwight says "...so I can lower it"

Uh, MISSterious. And it is mysterious because the buttons are on the wrong side... that's the mystery.

Not sure if this scene is underrated, but it's certainly hilarious.

From the episode when Michael's old boss Ed Truck dies and Michael has a grief counseling session in the conference room and Pam then Ryan then Kevin retell famous movie plots while Michael sits obliviously.

Ryan - " A few years ago my family was on a safari in Africa and my cousin... Mufasa..." Gets me every time!
