Yeah and him making up jokes about women's cycles and clogging pipes, or if Hilari Swank is hot might show that he is not such a talented writer afterall...
The best joke from "the initiation", s3 e5, is when Ryan is planting a beet seed and Dwight says "Just as you planted that seed in the ground, I will plant my seed in you". Although this was an alt by Rainn Wilson so it's not a BJ Novak joke. But BJ says himself that he was really annoyed that he'd spent 3 weeks on the script and Rainn was funnier in two seconds.
Naw I’m pretty sure I’m right, they made an improv compilation once. Are you just saying that for no reason or did you somehow see a video once that said all the things that WERENT improv?
2:53 is why the office is so great - with that look we can tell Dwight thinks this is a completely normal question, but for other reasons than what Michael is after
I can't withstand Kevin crying. The man is a national treasure for fuck's sake. Between the chilli falling, Stacy leaving him, getting hurt on the face and losing his job, the man has had a hard time.
That's why you do not hang out with people from work out side work, one of my few time I found myself in a muscle car with four co workers doing 100+mph on the freeway, driving past trucks like they were standing still. Then the smell of oil and yeap, he broke something. he was able to drive it still, just not fast. I look back now and think _ unnecessary thrill. Dwight's relatives funeral was a unexpected shock as well. I think Michael went to that.
I love that BJ Novak wrote the episode of when Ryan “started the fire”!!! Edit: Ryan may be a great writer and director, but Kevin’s the BEST character in the show!!
not only are his episodes hilarious but they tend to lean into the more serious and dynamic of the storytelling lore driven character developing episodes
Mindy wasn't completely acting when playing her character though, neither was Novak, but his character is shown very sparingly. Mindy isn't dumb like her character on the office but she isn't a good writer, most episodes had teams helping brainstorm all scenes.
Some of these are important to story arcs too, when Jim jokes he'd take Kevin, Its clear Roy is having a "oh he's gay!" realization, that makes him blind to Jim wanting Pam.
The camera panning to Angela after Kevin calls Oscar momma bear is one example of how brilliantly written the humor is in this show. They make a broader joke, then subvert your expectations/layer on additional characters jokes to the last second of a scene.
Robert California was the best antithesis to the later seasons. He balances out the saccharine sweet writing. Sadly, the writers didn't know how to properly blend him into the show (much like Catherine Tate's character)
Yeah the show really could’ve done without Catherine Tate. She didn’t bring anything to it at all there was simply no need for her character at all. The only thing I could complain about over the 9 seasons
I'm starting to actually consider if "Dwight's ritual" would had actually helped Ryan be a decent salesman... Yeah his ways were... Unorthodox... But they were to serve a purpose metaphorically.
@@sahil99farm Pot smoking is part of the Jamaican stereotype, so Kevin is implying Angela might want to get high but she's the type to be too uptight to enjoy it and gets angry.
6:24 Wow, I don't remember this! From what I've seen it's from the same episode that Andy is rehired but try to make it a surprise by dressing up all raggedy and pretending he's miserable... what a throwback, I'll rewatch it.
make a compilation jokes from episodes written by mindy kaling next to celebrate never have i ever season 3 release. both bj and mindy are amazing writers. the best duo off screen and on screen.
The best quote from Diversity Day is duringg the HR seminar. Now this is a simple acronym: H.E.R.O. All you need is Honesty, Empathy, Respect, and Open-minded. Dwight: Excuse me, that's not what it takes to be a hero. Okay, well, what is a hero to you? Dwight: hero kills people, people that wish him harm. A hero is part human and part supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a disaster, and must be avenged. Uh, okay, you're thinking of a superhero…
Well, B.J. Novak did not write those episodes alone. He was part of a writer's room such as Mindy Kaling or Paul Lieberstein. None of these created a full episode by themselves. It was all done as a group. However, when a season is finished, each of the members of the writer's room will get an episode or more as credit. They do not mention the full writer's room in each episode, but one at a time. That is a common method and can be seen in other shows such as Better Call Saul.
When BJ Novak is the writer and makes his own character face fear: *Trust nobody, not even yourself* "Fear is what it's all about" it's true, that's why my people don't dare to challenge me. Because they always know I'm right.
I never really liked the joke about Dwight asking Toby where is the clitoris. Not only was Dwight having an affair with Angela, but he was also - maybe improbably - portrayed as a ladies man on other occasions. So I always thought it was a lack of continuity. In fact, another of the jokes here is about the women getting on the same cycle. So he's more nerdish than not informed.
I watched that episode awhile back, and had the idea that maybe Dwight was just fucking with Toby lol. Kinda like his idea of "pulling a Jim" or something idk lol it's just a thought
I like how BJ Novack wrote some of Ryan's most awkward situations.
Honestly if I really liked my jokes I'd want to be in the scene too
@@joemanco1075 never know who the real joker is
@@joemanco1075 yeah but he made himself the butt of his own jokes😂
they always teach to write what you know
I know! I used to say to myself "Why would the writers be that cruel with Ryan?" Then i saw most of those times were written by Novak
The fact that BJ Novak was willing to destroy his own character just shows how talented he is at his job
Why would that ever matter? His character is of very little importance
@@jacobortega2786 ur opinion on his character is even less important still
@@ShietEverywhere thanks? Lol why are you trolling?
@@ShietEverywhere Dude chill, Jacob just said his opinion based on a fact (ryan not being a main character), CHILL
Yeah and him making up jokes about women's cycles and clogging pipes, or if Hilari Swank is hot might show that he is not such a talented writer afterall...
Lol. "You can be gay with Matt, just be straight with me."
Probably my all time Office favourite line
@@JohnnyM2x yes I came here to say that.
i was your 1000th like meow meow meow meow (suiii)
A bar.
So you’re telling me BJ wrote the fact that Michael wanted to do him, that’s the most vain dude ever 😂😂😂
He’s hottest in the office, not modest in the office
@@NTWoo95 haha exactly
@@NTWoo95 hottest? Lol you have low standards
I think it's more like he's writing a joke at his own expense.
hes a leo🙏
The little conversation about Phyllis' friend not fitting in a rowboat is such an underappreciated moment
Aaahahaha, I heard it as “robot” and that made no sense to me.
... "It bothers me that you're not answering the question."
I think I am being very clear with what I am asking… can she fit in a normal sized row boat??
always felt out of character for micheal but it is extremely funny and i still quote it to this day
BJ and Mindy’s episodes are so funny
Paul Lieberstein's episodes are also funny... Michael Schur's episodes are just as funny too. What's your point?
@@redacted2275 he didn’t say they were just funny he said “SO FUNNY”

The best joke in S3E5 isn't this one it's definitely the "I'm gonna plant my seed, in you" line
That line was actually improv I think
Yes!

Next compilations
-Employees threatening each other
-Pettiness in the office
-Unlikely alliances
-Infestation in the office
-Employees with side jobs
No matter how much time passes The Office is like a wine
Eh.. some jokes
Has sort of an oaky afterbirth.
7:03 the way Robert California just stands there, always gets me
I loved when Robert took over
He stands there like Michael Myers’s😂😂😂😂😂
Ultron vibes
@@littlekidlover0 funny enough
When he speaks I can’t help but hear ultron
I can't withstand Kevin crying. The man is a national treasure for fuck's sake. Between the chilli falling, Stacy leaving him, getting hurt on the face and losing his job, the man has had a hard time.
But is Robert OK?
Don't forget the turtle
@@gregovaromoreno6318 And his famous chilli on the office floor
Yep that was hard to watch poor guy
Yeah I agree, definitely feel for him, but I hope things end well in the series, haven’t finished it yet
Just a reminder that Ryan started the fire
And it was always burning since the worlds been turning
ryan started the fire!
fire guy!
It was always burnin when the world's a turnin?
I swear at least once a week I think of this when I turn on my stove.
I've watched office like 7 times it never gets old 😂
how is that even possible time wise
@@cheesybirdmess7349 wdym the shows been out for years I’ve watched it around 20 times
@CheesyBirdMess I'm a binger
Rookie numbers for sure 😅 but you'll get there 🤙
To the person next to like this comment: "That’s what she said!" *snickers in Michael Scott*
0:32 I am just noticing Roy’s reaction at Jim saying he’d sleep with Kevin, and in season 3 he tells Pam he thought Jim was gay 😂
So.. BJ Novak also needs a movie screenwriting credit for the cinema masterpiece that is threat level midnight
Kevin needing a notecard to remember "Dunder-Miflin, this is Kevin."
"He's searching out younger gays."
Well he sure hit that nail on the head, didn't he?
BJ Novak's episodes reflect the characters' personalities so incredibly well! He makes them interact in interesting ways
I love the compilations. The scene in the barn was absolutely amazing. Bye, Ryan. Lmao

Dwight
stanley is underrated !!
"Dammit! I knew it Phyllis! I knew it!"
Never has anything had the ability to still make me bust out laughing even after watching dozens of time and knowing exactly what’s gonna happen
Kevin crying has broke me 😂
not only are his episodes hilarious but they tend to lean into the more serious and dynamic of the storytelling lore driven character developing episodes
My favorite actor/writer after Mindy Kaling. His talents are multi faceted. Also an excellent director on the show❤️
I second that! A vote from me for the next compilation to be from episodes Mindy wrote!
Mindy wasn't completely acting when playing her character though, neither was Novak, but his character is shown very sparingly. Mindy isn't dumb like her character on the office but she isn't a good writer, most episodes had teams helping brainstorm all scenes.
@@ChirpyMike nope, I’m talking about the subject of this video, BJ Novak
@@Resanctify bullshit sexist conjecture. Prove jt
Another vote for Mindy! Have loved her other shows she’s written/produced, as well!
Oscar's video is basically 2020 in a nutshell: "It gets better! Maybe not much better, but better."
Searching out younger gays
Some of these are important to story arcs too, when Jim jokes he'd take Kevin, Its clear Roy is having a "oh he's gay!" realization, that makes him blind to Jim wanting Pam.
The rowboat line gets me every time. I can’t explain why it’s just such a good line.
Knowing that “Threat Level: Midnight” was written by BJ Novak makes me respect his work even more. That episode’s a blast!
That last scene - brilliantly written, filmed and acted. 👍🏻👍🏻
Dwight chucking Jim’s phone against the wall kills me😂😂😂
The camera panning to Angela after Kevin calls Oscar momma bear is one example of how brilliantly written the humor is in this show. They make a broader joke, then subvert your expectations/layer on additional characters jokes to the last second of a scene.
Robert California was an amazing character. To see him smashing his head to Kevins nose is hilarious
BJ is a genius
6:32 Dwight Schrute: "He's searching out younger gays."
Novak simply sh*ttin on his character and we love him for it lmao
“You don’t have to wrestle, just… get in the coffin”

I think Robert California and Erin were the only good additions to the late seasons
2:41 Maybe I'm just tired, but until Michael said "capsizing", I kept hearing "robot". "Could we share a robot". "Would a robot support her".
The writing, casting, and most importantly, acting is the perfect trifecta that made this show legendary. Perfect.
"You are murdering the Nard-Dog!"
2:36 very underrated scene but hysterical every time
Dude thank God for still keeping this channel alive
Oh man, he gave us the rowboat line. 😄
I'm starting to actually consider if "Dwight's ritual" would had actually helped Ryan be a decent salesman... Yeah his ways were... Unorthodox... But they were to serve a purpose metaphorically.
"Dwight does not play a robot...."🤣😂🤣
Oscar: "No matter what, there's a bright future ahead"
Dwight: "Yeah with you"
Lol im ded 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We finally found out who's running the account, way to blow your cover B.J.
"it gets better but also gets vastly more complicated" well ain't that the truth

Kevin: Wanna go to the beach?

Missed opportunity for Kevin to say "Jamaican me crazy" after her response
Could someone please explain this joke from the episode?

Hahaha every B.J. episode is a favorite, love it
"Get in the coffin" had me dying
wait bj novak wrote threat level midnight????? mad respect.

I just watched this and have laughed so much! I'd forgotten how funny. Getting my dvds out again!
"Kevin is doing exactly as well as anyone might have expected someone like him to perform in a position like that" 🤣🤣🤣
The best jokes from every BJ Novak episode - all of them
Wreak havoc in our plumbing that just sneak past me 😂😂😂
what a show fr
Ryan’s character by the end of the show just turned into Brian Griffin from family guy during the later seasons
Sooo, "BJ started the fire and Dwight didn't light it but he tried to fight it"
0:31 might be the reason why Kevin always stands up first when there was any confrontation between Jim and whoever.
This is the show next to the fresh prince ill have my kids watch when they ask what shows were like back in my day.
idk why but "America's one big mall" killed me
The thumbnail is just perfect
I think you do mon will always crack me up😂😂
When Robert gets sooo close to the camera is soo funny
Good thing Ryan didn't wrestle Mose. Mose would've wiped the floor with him. Good call 👍🏽
