From 2005 to 2013, the American version of “The Office,” a show about a paper company’s motley Scranton, Pennsylvania staff, graced millions of television screens across the nation. Today, nearly a decade after its finale, the program still ranks among the funniest sitcoms of all time, according to sources such as IMDb and Rolling Stone — and for good reason. If you ask any true fan of the beloved sitcom to recite oddly specific scenes embedded into their memories, they’ll likely have more than plenty to share. Some of the show’s most iconic moments include Jim and Pam’s gas station proposal, Miranda’s tube top malfunction, Dwight’s fire drill, and Michael’s “roast,” just to name a few.
And then, of course, there’s Kevin Malone, the charmingly oblivious accountant, dropping an entire vat of his “famous” chili — undercooked onions and all — on the lobby floor … and then hilariously attempting to salvage the mess with nearby desk supplies. Brian Baumgartner, the actor who plays Kevin, owns this legendary scene so well that he has written an entire cookbook dedicated to his character’s all-time favorite comfort cuisine.
