Wish that was bigger.

Bottom left, I assume those are the four from Josh's branch? Karen, Tony, Martin, and I forget the lady with the baby's name.

What is the symbol next to Roy's name?

Who is the X'd out name from Accounting?

Here is a link to (I think) the one you posted, and you can zoom in: LINK

Is that mace spray next to Roy?

You can open the pic in a new tab and magnify it.

Pepper spray.

A guy named Tom who was referenced in an episode in season 2. He left a note in the suggestion box that he was dealing with depression, but Michael didn't get around to reading it until well after he killed himself.

That chart is outstanding. Seeing names made me think of these exchanges.

Michael: Guys, I'm not the only one who's driven the forklift. [points] Pudge has driven the forklift.
Madge: Madge.
Michael: I thought your name was Pudge?
Madge: No, it's always been Madge.


Michael: Nobody in here is suffering from depression.
Jan: That sounds serious, Michael.
Michael: Oh, okay.Well, yeah? Who wrote it? Tom? Tom. Then, it is a joke because there's nobody in here named Tom.
Phyllis:Tom? He worked in accounting up until about a year ago.Tom. (Phyllis doing gun motion to head)
Michael: Oh, that guy? That guy was weird.


And Hunter is on it. Hahaha

Hannah Smotrich Barr. I love when she walks in her first day and Michael says her name and Dwight looks at the camera.



Man this show is pure gold.

Usually I pick up on things but I never really quite understood why he looked at the camera. Maybe because it was another woman for Michael to be obsessed with? Not sure.

Anyways, same scene...the camera pans over to Kevin and he hides the big jar of candy under his desk.

I love that Tony has a hamburger next to his name because of his weight. Also, to me, it looks like Hunter is two people in bed. It's probably referencing Jan sleeping with him.

I could be off, but it seems that a lot of these details were from after the scene where Dwight asks Michael to declare martial law. This may have just taken Dwight's chart and added on. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Might be a reach, but Jan had a hyphenated last name. Could be a reference to Michael being into that.

You might be on to something. That thought briefly crossed my mind but I immediately dismissed. Now that someone else also had the same observation, I think there might be something to it...

That particular chart is fan-made, I think. Dwight's chart in "Did I Stutter" did not have David, Jan, or the Stanford workers.

Yep, you're right. I just pulled it up on netflix and checked it out.

Oscar: You can make way more money as a salesman.

Michael: Where did you get that information?

Oscar: The manual.

Michael: Manuel Who?

Not Michael, but I busted out laughing at this a couple days ago.

Later in the series, when Oscar is banging Angela's husband, they have a function at some schmoozy house. The senator invites Oscar, and it ends up being that he just wants to use Oscar to show that he likes/helps minorities. But at one point the senator's photographer/PR guy wants more ethnicity in the picture, so he asks the waiter dude to get in the pic:

Photog guy: You. What's your name?
Waiter: Shawn.
Photog guy: La'Shawn. Great. Come here...

The look on the dude's face is hilarious.

Another classic is the scene where Michael thinks the new Sikh IT tech guy is a terrorist.

This isn’t related to racial stereotyping, but a line that always made me crack up was in the episode where Jim becomes a co-manager



Michael: well, to be fair, Jim... James... Jimothy... To be fair, Jimothy, the-- ah, that sounds weird. Are you okay with being called Jim?
Jim: I am.

This isn't Michael but still fits the unintentional racism theme.

Dwight: Oscar went to Mexico, when he was 5, for his grandmother's funeral. That means he is a potential drug mule.
