Subtle Details You Missed on ‘The Office’

Although “The Office” has been off the air since 2013, there were enough jokes and hidden details packed into the show’s nine season run to keep fans laughing for years to come.

These easter eggs are just a few of the subtle ways the writers and cast members made a show about a paper company a comedy hit.

Dunder Mifflin’s Address Is a Nod to the Original Version of the Show

Dunder Mifflin’s address is 1725 Slough Ave., Scranton, Pennsylvania. This is one of many references to the original British version of the show. In the UK, “The Office” took place in Slough, Berkshire and featured Ricky Gervais in the role Steve Carrell would become famous for portraying.

Dwight Grows Beets at His Desk

It’s not a secret that Dwight loves beets, his family even grows them on their farm. But, some sharp-eyed fans noticed that in later seasons of the show, there is a beet plant by the potted plants that are usually on the desk. There’s even a growing lamp above it!

Pam Uses Jim’s Teapot for The Finer Things Club

The Christmas episode where Jim gifts Pam mementos of their relationship in a blue teapot is one of the sweetest moments of the series and a moment that cemented Jim and Pam’s relationship in pop culture history.

The same teapot continues to make appearances throughout the show with Pam, Oscar and Toby at the Finer Things Club.

Jim Wears a Wig in Season Three

John Krasinski may regret Jim’s floppy hair in the early seasons of the show, but if his mop seemed strange later on, there’s a good reason for it.

Krasinski had to cut his hair for a role in the film “Leatherheads,” which lead to him needing to wear a wig for six episodes in the third season.
