Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
The Office returns tonight, and we couldn’t be more excited. To get in the mood for workplace comedy, waste a few minutes of company time by taking our Office quiz.
Then come back and give us your performance evaluation. If you can somehow work a ‘That’s what she said’ joke into your comment, our office will be very pleased.
Take the quiz: The Office (U.S. edition)

I only got 9 out of 18. I didn’t realize it would be so hard. (That’s what she said!!)

17 out of 18! Only missed the one about what city they considered other than Scranton. There were some tricky ones! On the Conan intern question, Angela was also an intern. I know she wasn’t an option, but just adding that bit of info.

Everytime I get a little ways in:
DAO error Message: Error connecting to database: Lost connection to MySQL server during query Code: 2013
This explains my failure to “finish”…

Thats NOT what she said

4/18. That was just pitiful.

(wait for it)
And unfortunately, that IS what she said.

I have shamed my family… 6 out of 18.
The “that’s what she said” epidemic has spread through my office like wild fire. A fellow that sits at a desk next to mine was working on a spreadsheet the other day. I heard him say “I’m just trying to figure out where to stick this.” I nearly fell out of my chair.

Three of my most favorite things, Mental Floss, The Office and The Daily Quiz.
Im not mentioning my score…bombed it.

I got 15/18. Instead of “Forgiveness being next to Godliness,” I put “Just do it.”
. . . That’s what she said.
Lame, but they have to come naturally.

15/18.
Great quiz. Can do a whole series of quizes on this show alone.
Q: Rashida jones is the Daughter of what two famous people?

72% (13 out of 18). I really thought I would know more. It was not a easy quiz. I was hoping that the answers would just come at me. “That what she said.

Score: 61% (11 out of 18). That was really fun! (That’s what she said.) I love the Office, and I have the second season on DVD.

I LOVE The Office, but I didn’t do too well on the quiz (13/18). Can’t wait for the new episode tonight!
Answer: She’s the daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, right?

14 out of 18. I’m thoroughly ashamed of myself for missing one that was actually a show quote, but I don’t feel so bad for having missed the off-air questions.
I’m really thrilled to see an Office quiz though and even more thrilled to get to watch new Office tonight!
Oh yeah, and I had a student today who totally threw away a great opportunity for a “That’s what she said,” and said “Your momma” instead. Sad indeed.

Finally, a quiz that’s easy and pleasing (TWSS).
I was thinking the same thing Nicole, didn’t several cast members have Conan connections? I remember Mindy saying something during her interview with him.

Terrible! 10 out of 20.
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Pwned it…100%

100%! But it was not very hard. But I’m an addict. Honestly, I can’t get enough, of The Office. Maybe you could…make it harder next time. :)
