Big news.
There are rumors that a reboot of The Office might be happening. This is after NBC’s entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt announced that he wouldn’t mind the show coming back.
Rumors like this happen all the time, so this might mean nothing. However, I think we all deserve to take a break and appreciate the best moments from The Office.
Here they are, in no particular order:

In the most effective way possible, of course. (Safety Training)

Hats off to Dwight for not seeing race. (Andy’s Ancestry)
