The Office Quiz – Life at Dunder Mifflin

The Office first aired on NBC in 2005 as an American version of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's British mockumentary. The early episodes struggled to find an audience, but the show soon found its own voice and became one of the defining comedies of its era. Shot like a documentary, with characters glancing at the camera and speaking in talking-head interviews, it made everyday office life hilarious.

At the heart of the show is Michael Scott, the regional manager who desperately wants to be liked. Steve Carell played him as both cringe-worthy and surprisingly kind. Around him is a cast of memorable coworkers: Dwight Schrute, the beet farmer and volunteer sheriff's deputy; Jim Halpert, the prankster; and Pam Beesly, the receptionist with artistic dreams.

Many fans watch The Office for the small moments: Jim's looks at the camera, Kevin's chili spill, Creed's strange comments and the endless arguments in the conference room. The show built a world where small jobs and small cities mattered.

Since the show ended, The Office has become one of the most streamed series of all time, with a whole new generation discovering it online. Podcasts, memes and fan conventions keep the jokes alive.

This quiz checks how much you remember about the people, pranks and places of Dunder Mifflin Scranton.
