About This Quiz
As one of the most beloved comedies in television history, "The Office" is a goldmine when it comes to memorable — and hilarious — quotes. The words of Michael Scott alone could fill up an entire volume of hysterical musings on life, love and what it's like to work at a sleepy paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. For the nine seasons that the show was on the air (and for a whole new generation of fans who have discovered the quirky comedy on Netflix), the catchphrases from "The Office" have become like a second language. From "That's what she said" — a saying now uttered by almost anyone who appreciates a good double entendre — to "Lord, beer me strength," so many lines from the show are used by super fans and casual viewers alike, on what we imagine must be a daily basis.How sharp is your knowledge of the quotes from "The Office"? Can you guess which character is responsible for saying which hysterical line? This quiz will put what you think you know to the test. As Dwight says in season three, "I am ready to face any challenges that might be foolish enough to face me." Are you ready to face this hardcore who-said-it test? Sit up straight, fix your tie, and answer the following questions to find out!
Meredith Palmer
Toby Flenderson
Dwight Schrute
In one of the show's most beloved pranks, Jim waltzes into the office dressed as Dwight, mumbling another classic line, "Bears. Beets. 'Battlestar Galactica.'" Dwight's comment about identity theft is his exasperated response.

Michael takes the office on a retreat in the season three episode "Beach Games." Because the schedule includes sun-soaking time and a hot dog eating contest, it's Kevin's ideal scenario.

Creed Bratton
In this season four episode called "Chair Model," Creed explains why he's so anxious for Michael to buy a new ergonomic chair. We never learn the (likely hilarious) reason why it's so important that he have three.

Andy loved to obnoxiously brag about his alma matter, as he does in the season three episode "Gay Witch Hunt." Fun fact: Ed Helms, who plays Andy, was in an a cappella group in real life when he was a student at Oberlin College. The name of the group? The Obertones.

Angela Martin
After revealing that she's got a new cat — and showing her furry friend off via a nanny cam she installed in her home and on her computer at work — Angela expresses this frustration in the season five episode "Lecture Circuit Part 2." Folks at the office are later disturbed by what they see because of that camera.

While he became one of the show's most beloved characters (and this quote from season six shows us why), Andy Bernard did not make his first appearance on the show until season three, in the episode "Gay Witch Hunt." He was Jim's coworker at the Stamford branch.

During the season four episode “Fun Run," Michael believes the office is plagued by a curse because Meredith was hit by a car — which Michael was driving. In addition, Angela's cat Sprinkles died — Dwight euthanized her. Just another day at the office.

While it's clear that Dwight drove Jim crazy during the years they spent working next to each other at Dunder Mifflin, it's also obvious that Jim delighted in annoying Dwight with his clever office pranks.

Creed imparts this pearl of wisdom in "Fun Run," an episode from season four. It's likely one of the many insights he shares on his blog, www.creedthoughts.gov.www/creedthoughts, which Ryan pretends to set up for him. In reality, it's just a Word doc.

It's not just Stanley who's in an uproar when Jim, temporarily stepping in as boss for Michael, decides to celebrate the birthdays of Creed, Meredith and Oscar with just one party (and one cake), instead of three. This happens in the season four episode "Survivor Man."

In the season nine episode titled "Suit Warehouse," Meredith is seen wearing a big black wig. This is because, in the previous episode, she was forced to shave her head after everyone assumed she infested the office with head lice. Turns out, the lice came from Pam's daughter.

While Angela makes this statement in "New Guys," which is the first episode of the show's ninth — and final —season, the character's quirky love of cats is obvious from the beginning of the show. True fans can list over a dozen of Angela's cats by name.

This line is from the season six episode, "Koi Pond," which premiered on October 29, 2009. When it first aired, the episode featured a scene in which Michael turned the warehouse into a haunted house for kids. The scene has since been removed, as it was found to be too upsetting — Michael "pranked" the kids by pretending to hang himself.

In the episode titled "The Convict," which aired during the third season of the show, Michael makes this comment as "Prison Mike," one of his many unintentionally ridiculous characters. Of course, Dementors are from a very different entertainment franchise.
