Fun Run is a top 5 episode easily, not sure about the best.

Stress Relief

Stress Relief is (rain in the downvotes) a really over rated episode. Is it a great episode? Yes. Top ten? Arguably.

The alarm scene never has the same punch as the initial viewing. If you want to argue best episode at the time being watched I think is a better statement, episodes like Fun Run and someone said Survivor Man hold up better.

Also, season 4 is easily a top 2-3 season, and anyone who disagree is kind of clueless. Survivor Man, Money, Local Ad, Dinner Party, and Goodbye Toby are all some of the all time greats.

Definitely one of the best episodes. Also, Diversity Day, Dinner Party, The Fire, The Alliance, Dwight's Speech, Grief Counseling, The Convict...

...looking through the list of episodes on Wikipedia, I'm just thinking, "and that's another great episode, and that's another great episode." It would be difficult to pick my top 10, because there are so many good ones.


Exactly. Every one of those episodes is brilliant comedy. Hard to pick the best one, but I know I’ve never seen much else on tv that can approach these episodes.

That whole season was the best. Too bad that stupid writers strike ruined it.

Absolutely hilarious. Hunter’s song slays me everytime.

Even though it was super early on, Diversity Day is a great one too.

My only top 5 episodes after Jim and Pam "get together" are Dinner Party and Stress Relief.

Everyone says this, but really you got equivalent to a full season. 5 episodes were 42 minutes, so really that is about 10 episodes. Only 3 episodes were 21-22 minutes, now we are at 13 total (relatively speaking). And 6 episodes were 30 minutes, so thats 8 extra minutes an episode so basically adds up to 2 extra episodes in terms of run time. So technically, or how they saw it, they gave us the same amount of screen time.

They did their best to give us the same amount of run time although it took no more effort. They would usually shoot office episodes well over the normal 30 minute time window and edit out storylines.

Dinner Party is right behind Scott’s Tots in terms of cringe worthiness. Dinner Party is a great episode and it shows us how Jan really got pregnant from Hunter. “That one night, you made everything all right.”

Best episode is the Christmas episode where Phyllis and Michael are competing Santas.

Kevin sitting on Michael's lap

Michael dressing up Jesus, his convo with David Wallace...his convo with Toby

Tranny Clause

Sit on my lap and there will be no doubt

I laugh as hard watching it now as I did the other 400 times I've seen it. Everyone panicking in their own way, Angela throwing her cat (hidden in a drawer which is funny on its own) to Oscar in the ceiling only to watch it immediately fall through is too much

Definitely one of the best. The sexual harassment episode is my favorite though.
