It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since we first stepped into the delightfully dysfunctional world of Dunder Mifflin. Yes, The Office is officially old enough to be considered a vintage classic, but still as youthful and quirky as Michael Scott’s antics. From the opening scene, we knew we were in for a treat—gawky humor, cringe-worthy moments, and a cast of characters so lovable, you couldn’t help but root for them despite their questionable life choices.

What’s even harder to believe is that The Office ended over a decade ago, because, unlike other shows that stay mummified and dusty, The Office is Memeified—meaning it lives on gloriously in our meme-filled timelines and dubious life choices. 

The Office has managed to defy the tomb of time, becoming a cultural phenomenon that refuses to be buried under the sands of forgotten TV history.
