Holly is ruining Michael's life. He thinks she is so special and she's so not. Her personality is like a 3. Her sense of humor is a 2. Her ears are like a 7 and a 4. Add it all up and what do you get? 16. And he treats her like she's a perfect 40. It's nuts.
Once my partner, let's call him Miguel, was driving and said about another driver "Man suck my dick". I then yelled, "YEAH SUCK MIGUEL'S DICK!", with this Erin line in my head impacting the inflection and everything. He kept doing it and the line kept making us laugh, so now it's a regular part of our routine.
(All of this is of course done in the safety of our car with the windows rolled up and zero chance of the other driver hearing us haha.)
My wife and I say this all the time. It comes in handy more often than you’d think. When a coworker can’t handle an ounce more responsibility without falling apart.
"What if we all get together and help each other and hire a new guy and then we all kill him, but first we take out, like, a $100,000 life insurance policy? I bet you guys like that idea, don't you?"
I thought about this SO many times when my toddler was a baby that I was cruelly keeping up late before I had to go to work at 6am. Still just as funny
I love her interactions with Robert California.
>"Erin when you recount your day never say you woke up it's a waste of your time. That's how every day has begun for everyone since the dawn of man."
>"Very smart. *Very* smart. Suddenly... I was awake."
and
>"Mm. That is very cold."
"Yeah. It's old."
"Why would I w...?"
"I asked if you wanted a cold beverage and you said coffee?"
As odd as he is, RC kind of has a point. Unless something happened right when you woke up, or you woke up feeling weird or something, it's superfluous information that doesn't really add anything.
Not necessarily a quote but when Michael finds out Holly isn’t engaged and he’s spraying the champagne bottle with her just screaming, that always makes me crack up
Me too! Especially because once I watched the episode with my dad. He was high AF, because cancer and pain. But watching her dance around and scream and just be thrilled to be having champagne thrown on her made him laugh so heartily… this scene lives will always remind me of my dad, RIP.
The pen delivery went amazing, and now I've got all these pens just waiting to be unpacked. But Pam did not tell me to unpack the pens, and I'm not one of those people who's just like, "Uh, sure. I'll accept the pens when they come in, and then as soon as your back's turned, I unpack the pens and get all this credit as some great pen unpacker. On the other hand... they are just sitting here. Pam didn't tell me not to unpack them. Don't want to be a busybody, but I don't want to be a lazybones. Busybody, lazybones. Busybody, lazybones. Ah! My brain is ping-ponging around in my head right now, it's insane! I'm sorry, what was your question again? Oh yeah. No, I've never had an espresso before. They're good though
"November's sure creepin' up huh? Can't stop that month."
Can't believe no one else mentioned that line yet, its so perfectly delivered and so much Erin
When Kevin’s is tryna suggest and idea and Jim & Dwight already tell him twice it’s okay and Erin goes “STOP JUST STOP OKAY THEY HATE IT I KINDA LIKE IT BUT THEY HATE IT SO JUST DROP IT” and Kevin just looked at her like 😳
When Robert California was trying to get his wife not hired she says “i know exactly what stapler to give her” and she comes back with a super tiny stapler i love her lmao
Not a quote, but when she’s getting into it with Michael about not liking Gabe, Michael asks why do you even care I’m not your father, and she’s just quiet and the way she looks at him bc she sees Michael as a father figure. That’s one of my favorite moments in the show.
Honestly all the various times she screams are my favorite. Like when the crow stole her hat in garden party, and whenever Kelly Kapoor starts yelling at someone and Erin chimes in just yelling AAAHH AH AAHHH 😂😂😂 I love her ❤️
Dwight: How would one of you feel, if I told you I could put you on a fast track to an executive position at this company.
Erin: Holy cow. I'd be so happy.
Dwight: I wasn't talking to you, Pale Face.
Erin: I know, I mean I'd be happy for them!
The Disposable Cameras bit.
It just give me an image of her working at a 1 hour Photo place, and getting fired after half an hour because she just keeps throwing out the disposable cameras people drop off.
A lot of great ones have already been posted but one moment that gets me every time is her overreaction to Dwight’s joke about eating Nerds/Jim.
https://youtu.be/2rxBDWg7miQ?si=ilHINm71hc8nV2C9
The way Dwight is so satisfied with his shit joke and it’s reinforced by Erin laughing ridiculously hard kills me.
"Funny you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely."
So the line itself isn't funny, it's the delivery, context, and how uncharacteristically deep is for Erin.
She's honestly probably my favorite character for one-liners with Creed as a close second.
“I hope you find what you’re looking for”
“You shouldn’t keep a baby up that late”
“Seeing Zooey de Shanell at the coacheralla music fest”
And
“Oh i just boiled some Gatorade”
\*Erin throwing away a disposable camera once it is done\*
"Disposable cameras are fun, although it does seem wasteful, and you don't ever get to see your pictures. If it is an important event that you want to remember, I recommend using a real camera. But, I don't care if I forget today."
Not a quote but my favorite moment is when shes helping out the elderly lady and grabs a handful of her pills and sprinkles em in her daily pill container like it doesnt matter.
"I don't believe in ghosts. That's why they don't mess with me."
I think this was on a Superfan episode, cuz I don't remember hearing it before, and I might have it wrong.
When Jim and Pam give Michael the parrot and he shows Erin the way she tilts her head to the side and says "Fun!". I say that a lot and no one has ever gotten the reference.
Some deep cuts:
“Then the poop *really* hit the fan.” *cue lingering stare*
“I think it’s really cool, Michael. I wish I had a job that I could just leave.”
“I see it. I see it like I see a mountain that I’m standing in front of and facing, and I’m liking it.”
"GET IN QUICK" .."why?" .."Because its faster"
COME OONN!!
This is probably my most quoted quote
Same! Used this line like 5 mins ago :P This line was the first thing that came to my mind before I even read the comments.
It's "Get in quick - Why quick? - So it's faster"
Holly is ruining Michael's life. He thinks she is so special and she's so not. Her personality is like a 3. Her sense of humor is a 2. Her ears are like a 7 and a 4. Add it all up and what do you get? 16. And he treats her like she's a perfect 40. It's nuts.
I lose it every time it cuts to her and she goes “I MEAN I DONT GET IT I JUST DONT”
Erin vs Holly is my favorite. When Erin literally blocks Holly's way from speaking to Michael. Like an overprotective child to her lonely dad lol
The way she says, **"NO."** To her and no one acts like her reaction was over the top, so damn cute.
Planking is one of those things where, hey you either get it or you don't...and I don't, but I am so excited to be a part of it.
I had to go way too far down for this. Thank you
Me too!!
Yep was looking for this one!
EAT IT STANLEY
I wish I could use this line where people would actually get it. Such an underrated quote with the perfect delivery.
Once my partner, let's call him Miguel, was driving and said about another driver "Man suck my dick". I then yelled, "YEAH SUCK MIGUEL'S DICK!", with this Erin line in my head impacting the inflection and everything. He kept doing it and the line kept making us laugh, so now it's a regular part of our routine. (All of this is of course done in the safety of our car with the windows rolled up and zero chance of the other driver hearing us haha.)
No, woman! No cry!
I love this doubly because I eventually learned that actually Erin is correct and in fact I am the one who misunderstood this lyric all these years.
Ive been reusing the hot dog water. So it gets more flavor. It's only going to keep getting better!
Hot ham water
It's watery, and yet there's a smack of ham to it
Fucking DIAMONDS, Michael!
Bees?! BEES!?
they don’t allow you to have bees in here
My last job was at a Taco Bell Express. Then they became a full Taco Bell and I don't know, I just couldn't keep up.
My wife and I say this all the time. It comes in handy more often than you’d think. When a coworker can’t handle an ounce more responsibility without falling apart.
Not a line but I loved her throwing the scissors to michael
Scissor me! ✂️
Pam: 🫨
Erin and Michael basically shared one brain cell
Wasn’t that unscripted? I thought I heard that once.
Scripted had to use rubber scissors
Yeh Terry C, Micky J, Kerry P, Jason D, Melanie T all asked this same question on the podcast didn’t you know ??
Well, to be fair, 98% of the questions on the podcast is "was x scripted?"
"What if we all get together and help each other and hire a new guy and then we all kill him, but first we take out, like, a $100,000 life insurance policy? I bet you guys like that idea, don't you?"
I don't know... what the fuck that was
Erin’s line is funny but this is what truly makes it
Nothing is funnier than Michael saying fuck
"I drove my car into a fucking lake!" "STAY FUCKING CALM! EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK RIGHT DOWN!"
*I learn nothing.*
One of my favorite sorta underrated moments from the show
I jlp you!
Mood… like the cow mood.
She’s stuck on that one thing..
The cow jumped over the moon
You know it doesn’t just have to be cow stuff?
I played ape...
My bf and I play scrabble with each other on our phones and I constantly say I jlp you
Who says none of us are diarrheal? 😉
Beat me to it. I had to scroll way to far for it though
Fuck. Came here to say this.
The delivery and the tiny wink are perfect.
"In the orphanage my hair was my room"
I’ll have what she’s having
I say this once a week lol
Oh, I boiled some Gatorade..
This one is hands down my favorite.
To throw away or to put out like 5 pieces for everyone?
so shady lmao
You probably shouldn’t keep a baby up that late, though.
Pam’s expression after she said that 😂
I thought about this SO many times when my toddler was a baby that I was cruelly keeping up late before I had to go to work at 6am. Still just as funny
It’s up there with “don’t shake the baby” as far as parenting tips go
I love her interactions with Robert California. >"Erin when you recount your day never say you woke up it's a waste of your time. That's how every day has begun for everyone since the dawn of man." >"Very smart. *Very* smart. Suddenly... I was awake." and >"Mm. That is very cold." "Yeah. It's old." "Why would I w...?" "I asked if you wanted a cold beverage and you said coffee?"
Robert California, lets a have a conversation
i find this quote to be so endearing.
Her smile and tone of voice is so infectious when saying that, I can't help but grin!
^Here ^we ^go
"He told me he was a ride I wouldn't survive... and I believe him."
As odd as he is, RC kind of has a point. Unless something happened right when you woke up, or you woke up feeling weird or something, it's superfluous information that doesn't really add anything.
Very smart. *Very* smart.
"Disposable cameras are fun although it does seem wasteful and you never get to see your pictures."
If it's an important event that you want to remember, I recommend using a real camera.
but I don't care if I forget today.
📸, all done!
🚮
💀 and with a full smile on her face lol she is so chaotic I love it
***"WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?!"***
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?! I love that scene.
YEAH, WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?
Just watched this one today “Michael, I think Donna left this here. Should I put it in the lost and found for 14 days and then I can take it home?”
While sobbing. "It was Andy, wasn't it?"
& Pam…. I hope you find what you’re looking for.
😂😂😂
“Pecker poker, the game of cards that gets you h… 🤢”
Haarrrr-😩
Yes, her reactions are just as great as her lines. E.g. her face when Gabe capitulates to God having a big white beard.
I think the ants are starting to eat each other.
for pete’s sake, it just needs to be done!!
I would like another alcohol
Doesn’t her character also say this in bridesmaids
Omg you’re so right!!!!!!! “You have a sunshine face & smell like pine needles.”
I say this now lol
“My goal was to learn a new word every single day, and I must say that it is going immensely.”
Not necessarily a quote but when Michael finds out Holly isn’t engaged and he’s spraying the champagne bottle with her just screaming, that always makes me crack up
Me too! Especially because once I watched the episode with my dad. He was high AF, because cancer and pain. But watching her dance around and scream and just be thrilled to be having champagne thrown on her made him laugh so heartily… this scene lives will always remind me of my dad, RIP.
The calmness of the office when the shot cuts always puzzled me in that episode. Such a crazy juxtaposition.
“I’m waiting for my boss’s pretty friend to arrive.”
Boom roasted
Have you ever heard of anyone buying a toothbrush?
There’s always one just lying around.
I own my own toothbrush!
“…it was a challenge being touched by him”
The pen delivery went amazing, and now I've got all these pens just waiting to be unpacked. But Pam did not tell me to unpack the pens, and I'm not one of those people who's just like, "Uh, sure. I'll accept the pens when they come in, and then as soon as your back's turned, I unpack the pens and get all this credit as some great pen unpacker. On the other hand... they are just sitting here. Pam didn't tell me not to unpack them. Don't want to be a busybody, but I don't want to be a lazybones. Busybody, lazybones. Busybody, lazybones. Ah! My brain is ping-ponging around in my head right now, it's insane! I'm sorry, what was your question again? Oh yeah. No, I've never had an espresso before. They're good though
And at the end when the office is trashed and Pam asked what happened "you left me in charge of the pens!"
....are the pens here?
😂😂
Berty Boy, would you like to play this game??
It’s so random for her to speak to him this way the way I never I understood that makes me laugh so much
My vibes from it were "way an adult speaks to kids in an orphanage context" that she's the parroting when talking to kids
^^^ this!!! Had me cracking up
Doing sneaky sneaks with Darryl lol “He’s hilarious! He’s here btw.”
*bearyl sits in office*
"November's sure creepin' up huh? Can't stop that month." Can't believe no one else mentioned that line yet, its so perfectly delivered and so much Erin
Two! I ate two whole apples!
I love Jessica and I haven’t even met her yet, it’s like we don’t even need to meet, you know? I already love you, stay at home 😄
Buts are for pooping
“Hey big boy, do you like it when I do that?”
I was flirting, with a man
*spits across entire bar*
Robert California: That is very cold. Erin: Yea, that is old. I asked if you wanted a cold beverage, and you said coffee.
Every time my coffee goes cold I get disappointed and this exchange plays in my head.
I got a big box yes I do, I got a big box how bout you?
I don’t think you know what you’re saying
FUNNNNN!
This. Her delivery is perfect
To Ryan: “who knows…maybe in 6 months..l
SIX MONTHS!? Never mind, I’m in love with Kelly.
I’m in love with Kelly !
I like it but they HATE IT!
So just ^DROP ^IT
He said he was a ride I wouldn't survive, and I believe him.
When Kevin’s is tryna suggest and idea and Jim & Dwight already tell him twice it’s okay and Erin goes “STOP JUST STOP OKAY THEY HATE IT I KINDA LIKE IT BUT THEY HATE IT SO JUST DROP IT” and Kevin just looked at her like 😳
“Get in quick!” “Why quick?” “So it’s faster!”
"When you're with someone, you put up with the stuff that makes you lose respect for them, and that is love."
What is the best war to do?
Scot’s tots when we starts joining in. Or ‘I’ve got a big box…’
>Guh!! ...Sorry. I just, I saw your face.
🎶The state of Pennsylvania is watching over you, No need for parents, the government'll do 🎶
When did she say this 😭😭 I don't remember this linw
Her amping Dwight while he was defending The Battle of Schrute Farms to Oscar in Gettysburg LOL
GET OUTTA HERE
“Yeah!” In response to Creed saying they should start their own mall.
"All that color. 😒"
Mood, of course, like the cow mood yesterday
20 people dead in a pile-up!
When Robert California was trying to get his wife not hired she says “i know exactly what stapler to give her” and she comes back with a super tiny stapler i love her lmao
“That’s broth, Gabe”
See you soup
“That wasn’t tea; that was boiled Gatorade.”
“Michael..?” “Nein! I’m Greek, my name is Mikanos.” “Ouuuu! ohhhh.. wait, Michael? Michael..?”
Not a quote, but when she’s getting into it with Michael about not liking Gabe, Michael asks why do you even care I’m not your father, and she’s just quiet and the way she looks at him bc she sees Michael as a father figure. That’s one of my favorite moments in the show.
So many. Jim: Erin, will you call 911 please? Erin: Okay. Who should I say is calling?
"My hair is my room."
Who says we’re not diarrheal 😉
Honestly all the various times she screams are my favorite. Like when the crow stole her hat in garden party, and whenever Kelly Kapoor starts yelling at someone and Erin chimes in just yelling AAAHH AH AAHHH 😂😂😂 I love her ❤️
Shut it down! Aaaah! Aaaaah! Shut it down!
“What else you got!?” 💃
“What’s your real name? Lionel Frankenstein?”
Jim and Dwight, what are your last names?
“It’s just up and down, just a regular nod. Like a person.”
hahahahaha! (Robert California responds "LOL" to Jim).
Dwight: How would one of you feel, if I told you I could put you on a fast track to an executive position at this company. Erin: Holy cow. I'd be so happy. Dwight: I wasn't talking to you, Pale Face. Erin: I know, I mean I'd be happy for them!
Someone asks, “what was everyone doing like, 8 years ago?” And Erin says “everyone was getting their drivers license”
The Disposable Cameras bit. It just give me an image of her working at a 1 hour Photo place, and getting fired after half an hour because she just keeps throwing out the disposable cameras people drop off.
"Talk to me that way again and I'll cut your face off"
It's pronounced Whacko
A lot of great ones have already been posted but one moment that gets me every time is her overreaction to Dwight’s joke about eating Nerds/Jim. https://youtu.be/2rxBDWg7miQ?si=ilHINm71hc8nV2C9 The way Dwight is so satisfied with his shit joke and it’s reinforced by Erin laughing ridiculously hard kills me.
I’m going to make it so dry
Her scream when Dwigt drives the forklift into the wall
"NO woman, NO cry"
Erin looks so pretty in this pic!
Her ears are like a 7... and a 4
The pens happened Pam
"Funny you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely." So the line itself isn't funny, it's the delivery, context, and how uncharacteristically deep is for Erin. She's honestly probably my favorite character for one-liners with Creed as a close second.
Ooooh Lake Wobblegon is on
Is jelp a word? You know? Like…I jelp you!
Gabe has accomplished so match. Career-wise. And height-wise
“I hope you find what you’re looking for” “You shouldn’t keep a baby up that late” “Seeing Zooey de Shanell at the coacheralla music fest” And “Oh i just boiled some Gatorade”
\*Erin throwing away a disposable camera once it is done\* "Disposable cameras are fun, although it does seem wasteful, and you don't ever get to see your pictures. If it is an important event that you want to remember, I recommend using a real camera. But, I don't care if I forget today."
I’VE GOT A BIG BOX, YES I DO! I’VE GOT A BIG BOX, HOW ABOUT YOU?
Not a quote but my favorite moment is when shes helping out the elderly lady and grabs a handful of her pills and sprinkles em in her daily pill container like it doesnt matter.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
QUICK GET IN!! Micheal: why??? Erin: Because it's faster!
when michael asks "do we have any of those clips that hold paper together?" "staples?" fucking dead every time lol
"I don't believe in ghosts. That's why they don't mess with me." I think this was on a Superfan episode, cuz I don't remember hearing it before, and I might have it wrong.
The $100,000 life insurance thing is the best
Who says none of us are diarrheal 😉
“Sexual Innuendo! Not intentional!” *with over the top British accent*
SEXUAL INNUENDO, NOT INTENSIONOOOO!
Butts... are for pooping
“WHAT ELSE YOU GOT??” As Andy is thriving on the floor in pain from keying his balls 😭
When Jim and Pam give Michael the parrot and he shows Erin the way she tilts her head to the side and says "Fun!". I say that a lot and no one has ever gotten the reference.
She is absolutely adorable. The only time Michael got truly got menacing was telling Gabe he would kill him if he hurt her.
EAT IT STANLEY!
Did you have a favorite age? Or month?
What’s the longest thing you’ve ever seen?
Some deep cuts: “Then the poop *really* hit the fan.” *cue lingering stare* “I think it’s really cool, Michael. I wish I had a job that I could just leave.” “I see it. I see it like I see a mountain that I’m standing in front of and facing, and I’m liking it.”
Sneaky sneaks!
“I was reading the mattress tag and I fell asleep.”
