I'll start
When Dwight sings Billy Joel in his talking head in "The Fire."
These are your biggest laugh out loud moments of all three seasons.
I really don't know why, but Kevin's "Maybe some spaghetti" from Diversity Day is one of my favorite lines. I can't explain it.
Maybe it's because they were done with that whole exercise and Kevin was still doing it. That does make it funnier.
Without question:
"Boy, have you lost your mind?! Cos I'll help you find it!"
Followed shortly by Ryan's,
"I got yelled at by Stanley today. It was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me." (Or words to that effect, at any rate.)
Also? Future Dwight cracked my -- er, me, up.
Dwight vomitting on his car in The Injury is one of my most laugh-out-loud moments. And Mose in the homemade "FEAR" shirt in The Initiation. The FutureDwight prank was also an instant classic.
I don't know if it was the biggest laugh out loud moment of all three seasons, but thank god for DVRs, because as soon as I saw Michael in that stocking cap at the beginning of Lazy Scranton, I was laughing so hard I missed the entire rest of the skit. Same with the Michael/Andy Night at the Roxbury skit. Instant classics.
Everytime Dwight reads the list of illnesses in Health Care, I just cannot keep it together. Count Choculitis?!?!?!
The Jim vending-machine prank...only because it incorporated the nickels from the phone prank. Jim rules!
The Jim vending-machine prank...only because it incorporated the nickels
from the phone prank.
It's the big bag of nickels that really puts it over the top, though. When the nickels come out, I lose it every time.
I'm sure I'll come back to this thread many times as I think of more items, but I lose it everytime Michael stands on the front of the boat shouting, "I'm king of the World" and Jim looks at his watch.
Also, in Basketball after Michael spends 5 minutes preparing for his free throw and then throws the ball over the net and hits the candy cane...it NEVER FAILS.
still thinking about this week - this week was mostly shock.
Last week, hands down was Dwight imitating the CFO walking up the steps singing "Do doo doo...coming home from work..." i still have raging fits of giggles!
Meredith having to announce to all her coworkers that she still has a vagina was what sold me on the show. That scene has a special place in my heart.
Michael's talking head about fixing breakfast in bed. Followed by him falling off the toilet in the injury episode. I have to stop the TiVo everytime Toby says that Ryan is dead.
Exactly...and then the follow-up when Michael is calling people out and says, "...Stanley, and Ryan, whose supposed to be dead." 12 out 10 on the comedy scale!
The scenes in the van on the way to the hospital in "The Injury". I have those scenes memorized, and I pee myself a little every time I see them anyway.
"I'm so sick of Chuck E. Cheese..."
"You can't fire me! I don't work in this van!"
And the squirt bottle.
Magical moments:
"Government-created killer nano-robots." "It's an epidemic."
And the classic "I don't work in this van."
Farthter off the beaten path, Pam's description of Angela in the Halloween episode, that she's the one who would give out "toothbrushes, quarters, walnuts" -- there is something about how she said "walnuts" that kills me. Slays me.
Three scenes that make me laugh out loud no matter how many times I watch them:
Also, there are so many lines that seem like throwaways but are incredibly funny just because of the delivery, timing, or expressions. Michael and Dwight have the most of these. Example from The Secret:
Jim gets a grape soda from the vending machine
Michael: "It's grrrrape! Soda"
Jim: "Tony the Tiger. Don't hear that much anymore."
Michael: "Not so much."
The Secret is my favorite episode. I've watched it approximately eleventy billion times and that "Not so much" line has me on the floor every single time. And I couldn't explain why if my life depended on it.
Nice! Doesn't seem to be many others that think that way, it's never mentioned as one of the classic episodes, and it's ranked an appalling 23rd at OfficeTally.
In Casino Night when 'Jim' moves the coat rack. I love the reaction that Dwight gives. His facial expression was hilarious.

Stanley: I'm not disabled and neither are you.
Michael: What does this look like to you?
Stanley: Mailboxes Etc.
