Welcome back everyone.
Today we're looking at the time Michael, Dwight, and Andy decided they were professional athletes. I'm talking about
professional athletes. I'm talking about the legendary parkour scene from The Office.
This is what happens when you watch one YouTube video and think, "Yeah, I can jump off a refrigerator truck into a box. Let's dive in. Look at them. They
box. Let's dive in. Look at them. They
aren't even jumping. They're just
falling with style." Michael is yelling parkour after every tiny hop. He's
basically just walking on a desk and calling it an extreme sport. And Dwight,
he's doing a somersault on a couch like he's in an action movie. My favorite
part is Jim just sitting there dead inside watching his bosses treat the office like a playground. Now they take it outside. They're running over cars
it outside. They're running over cars and you can practically hear the car alarms going off in the background. Andy
is trying so hard to be hardcore, but he's basically just a human wrecking ball. The confidence these guys have is
ball. The confidence these guys have is truly inspiring. And by inspiring, I
truly inspiring. And by inspiring, I mean incredibly dangerous. And here it is, the climax.
Andy decides to jump off a truck into a stack of boxes. He yells, "Hardcore parkour." One last time, and well, he
parkour." One last time, and well, he disappears into the box. It wasn't even a landing. He just got swallowed by
a landing. He just got swallowed by cardboard. The way the scene just ends
cardboard. The way the scene just ends there is perfection.
This is 3 minutes of pure chaos. It
shows that in Dunder Mifflin, work is the last thing anyone actually does.
What's your favorite parkour move? Let
me know in the comments.
