[sevacall]

I LOVE SCRANTON!!!

[davisclanesp]

sorry smitty but im pretty sure every capital city canada is better than scranton

[MrGiacomogrande]

scranton WHAT? The electric city!!!

[smitty9999]

@SRHcherokee

no im from canada, i went through scranton to see the steamtown mall. downtown scranton was like a scene out of a zombie apocalypse movie, except the zombies are better kept

[TheJamiam]

@smitty9999 Says the Canadian....

[smitty9999]

Scranton is full of brain dead hicks

[curlyyyyyyyy]

if Dwight Schrute ever gets a makeover, his new haircut should be the one Rainn has here.

[MrDogwalker100]

Six people met the Scranton Strangler.

[frkaz911]

Having spent a considerable amount of time in Scranton and the surrounding area, I appreciate all the little references that the show makes about life there, and they're always dead-on correct.

I love Scranton, and miss it a lot. It's the kind of place where you can sit and watch the grass grow and still be perfectly content with the world.

[twinkiefoot]

6 people are angry that they were not made honorary mall security.

[drc2265]

Elton John

[TomAce200]

The cool thing about the show is all the little things about Scranton that you'd only notice if you grew up there. Like stickers for Froggy 101, local bars and restaurant mentions, a sticker for the old Globe.

[tc511]

just came back from a roadtrip to scranton! i loved it! 

[faithdelusion]

Why on Earth must they upload these videos in tidbit form?

[Awakened260]

@faithdelusion i agree, i hate it when they do that ._.

[j7sd888]

why is rainn wilson kinda cute but dwight is hideous? hmmm.

[kustomkure]

@j7sd888 it's the glasses for sure :)

[j7sd888]

@kustomkure I think it's also the hair. the way it's parted in the middle is so ugly. Lol.

[SuperMrsPunk]

I hate Scranton. It's a very ugly place to live.

[craigjonesslipknot5]

I go to Scranton every year.

[JoeSkeen]

Seriously, does anybody know where to find this entire video? I've been looking all over and can't... Please message me on here, or whatever. Thanks!

[igrenade]

bears beets battlestar galatica

[lovelyDay020891]

@igrenade best line ever!! hahaha

[bricksalegend]

@igrenade identity theft is not a joke

[ardistic]

is there a whole video version available of this? i like watching these things.

[king12191]

i live 45 mins from scranton =)

[jfabproductions]

You wouldnt find the show as funny if you didnt live near scanton and new all the jokes about it and how ppl bash on it all the time for being crappy

[xDee2011]

I live in Scranton woooooo!

[quater2002]

It's neat when you make a show that isn't in New York City or California. People actually feel like they can connect and have more fun with it.

[belaswane]

He was made an honorary sherriff deputy!! ahahaha

[BroPro3000]

Jim isn't even here... Weird...

[Nhzharuthopar]

Anyone know where I can watch/download the whole thing other than buying it on itunes.

[cabezza71]

the guy at 1:11 is Brüno's boyfriend, Lutz

[BABYPHAT613]

i lived in scranton my whole live.. i miss it sooo much =[

[MattsMisc]

I wonder what the average IQ is for someone who frequently watches The Office? I bet its higher than most other shows. Not that that really matters. Well It kind of does.

[kustomkure]

@MattsMisc I actually agree with that. But I personally put it this way. If a guy doesn't like The Office he definitely got some serious intelligence/humor issues

[skills1ent]

@MattsMisc Wow excellent comment and observation! I bet it's true also!

[guy0Npage38XBL]

@MattsMisc Its a fantastic show, but honestly its comedy doesnt require that much intelligence. I feel like that's more curb your enthusiasm or arrested development's territory.

[MetalCamelChannel]

@MattsMisc That's what I like to believe as well. The only people I know who are really into the show are at the same time the smartest people I know. It's quite a clever show indeed.

[xTwaddle]

@MattsMisc Its not that hard to understand, most of the show revolves around Michael being stupid, I dont think it takes a smart person to understand what's going on. Just because someone watches the show a lot doesn't necessarily mean they're smarter than people who watch other shows.

[xsurfnturfx]

@MattsMisc That's such an Oscar thing to say.

[Krowsnose]

@MattsMisc I doubt there's that much of a difference. The fact is The Office is just a newish form of comedy that really caught on. People are sick and tired of traditional TV sitcoms with laughtracks and one-liner jokes. Seinfeld was so popular because it was a new kind of comedy when it came out. At least new to the general public.

However this doesn't explain why shows like 2 and a half men are still popular. :\

[LABORANTI27]

I live in scranton off capouse ave where it turns in to penn ave is where the building is. The one in the begging credits. Its a great town.

[rohitmango]

whos the dumbass who keeps clapping so dam close to the mic!?? ruins the whole audio! ...oh n rainn rules!!

[filth69ify1]

Dwight #1!!! Rain Wilson You Rule Dude :)

[karkiuz]

I actually found THE Dunder Mifflin building through Google map in Van Nuys, CA

[rohockeykickass]

@karkiuz there is a couple i saw one in newyork the ine in scranton does not exist but they mith move there for buisness causes there is about 6 dunder miflin buldings

[karloh10]

@karkiuz

ive been there, i leave so close to it.

[fatso80]

theres no guessing it is a nice town with kick ass people except the cops

[XUnholyXCombatX]

:D I know someone who lives in Scranton. Its a nice town I guess.

[halobeatscod]

in the electric city! scranton! what? the electric city scranton! what? the electric city

[pensfanluver]

oh i love this show. i do live in PA but not scranton. l live in pittsburgh but i still loooveee the show:)

[gcshartagram]

I live in Scranton, PA. All the people he was talking about at the "mall" where not from Scranton. I can't say I know anyone who actually watched the Office.

[THEPANTSWEREDEAD]

I live an hour and a half away from scranton, its like directly north.

[sharpnova2]

then stfu

[guitargodalec]

whats your problem I wasnt saying it was a bad show

[sharpnova2]

if you don't watch the show, then don't comment on videos about it.

also why are you replying on a different nickname? strange

[guitargodalec]

multiple youtube accounts....

[sharpnova2]

yes. i replied to stoppedmotion. then you replied to me in response to my reply and your name is guitargodalec.

i never replied to guitargodalec.

[Rasperdan]

The Office is the uk production .... wish people would label correctly

[chow1010]

get a LIFE LOSER!!

[PurushaDesa]

I think this highlights the difference between Britain and America because both the shows deal with the theme of being stuck in a boring town - sorry Scranton, but it's definitely a theme. But whereas the people of Scranton has embraced the show lovingly, the amount of resentment built up for Slough increased after the TV show. It is the definition of the dead-end English commuter town.

[nobbiedog]

wow,where did you get that from...noone ever gave a tos about slough..before or after....your just making this up,...your very wierd

[PurushaDesa]

I'm sorry but before, no one gave a toss about Slough at best. The Office highlighted the fact it was a dead end commuter town and then it gained infamy.

That's what happens with successful shows where the setting is a character in its own right, eg, the petty conservatism of the English south coast in Fawlty Towers, or the violence of Baltimore as brilliantly showcased in The Wire. Before such programmes, only nearby residents can make those observations but afterwards everyone else can too.

[Kagy777]

Don't forget Road Wars! Probably did wonders for Slough.

[BrandonFite182]

@PurushaDesa lol damn

[DrJuice1]

@PurushaDesa i live in Philly, born and raised. i love The Office, but i still don't give a toss about Scranton.

[PurushaDesa]

@DrJuice1

Please say West Philadelphia. Right now, in my head, I'm playing that clip of a stupidly young Will Smith showing off his mediocre basketball skills.

[MVPtr4sh]

@PurushaDesa haha, that was good :D

[mpr4321]

@PurushaDesa youre pathetic



[xxmoviemagicmakerxx]

@PurushaDesa you obviously have never been to scranton.. its not some dead end town its really beautiful and nice.. some of their facts were wrong including it being some dead end town. come to a city before you insult it

[guy0Npage38XBL]

@PurushaDesa You read my mind when you said baltimore. The wire was the first show that came to mind when I started reading your post.

[khanflesh]

Actually, it's a valid point about how a successful film and/or television production can change the public's attitude toward or level of awareness of a certain region. What's so weird about it?

[AlexAmerling19]

I would love to have a Dwight hair cut :P

[uber418]

...man, what i would do to spend a whole day with that cast.

[BrookeG48]

I live in PA and I am sooooo proud to be even CLOSE to scranton. lol

[swantonbomb967]

@BrookeG48 you do know they film the office in panorama city ca

[BrookeG48]

@swantonbomb967 Yes, thank you. I've been informed. By many many many people. In case you couldn't tell, my comment has been up at the top there for over a year now, so you can bet I've gotten plenty of replys from know-it-alls attempting to burst my bubble. It's been done. Mission accomplished.

[DrkSh4d0wXx21704]

@BrookeG48 Hard to believe it's actually filmed in LA.

[karloh10]

@BrookeG48

I live in the city where The Office is actually filmed in, lol.

[sns512]

@BrookeG48 Why? Because a television show is based in the city? That makes no sense

[BrookeG48]

@sns512 YOU make no sense. lol But seriously I wrote that a year ago? Get over it.

[UtubeAddictionVictim]

@BrookeG48 me too

[emekonen]

@BrookeG48 I tried finding Dunder Mifflin when I went there to apply, where is it exactly?

[vitaminfromthesky]

Rainn is genious!!

[anoodec559]

why wasn't john krasinski there?

[luckstruck]

probably filming an upcoming project?

lol

[SmartGuy212121]

it's funny because i keep on hearing john's laugh..

[feitocomfruta]

As someone who lives in the viewing area that includes Scranton, we are HUUUUGELY obsessed. The fact that the show wants to include the area businesses in prop drops alone is incredible. But we had the Office Convention two years ago, and for like 4 months ahead of time it was big news.

[pearldrummer246]

have you ever like driven by the building or anything?

[feitocomfruta]

Nope, but Scranton itself is an hour away from me, and I live in the middle of the Poconos not too far from the Appalachian Trail. So to get to the grocery store takes 20 minutes alone. Nonetheless, Scranton often hosts the big Office release parties, meet and greets, the Office Convention, and so on. And like I said, they have prop drops all the time, so most of the set decor (like the Froggy Sticker) is actually from Scranton businesses.
