Top Ten Jim Halpert Office Pranks
10) Encased Dwight’s stapler in Jell-O. (“Pilot”)
Michael: Jim, now is the time to stop putting Dwight’s personal effects into jello.
Jim: Okay. Dwight, I’m sorry, because I’ve always been your biggest flan.
Michael: [laughs] Oh, nice!! That’s the way it is around here, just kind of goes round and round and round…
Ryan: [playing along] You should have put him in custardy.
Michael: [cracks up again] Oh, hey! Yes! New guy, and he scores!
Dwight: Okay, that’s great. I guess what I’m most concerned with is, uh, damage to company property. That’s all.
Michael: [after long pause] Pudding. Pudding. I’m trying to think of another desert to do.
9) Hid Andy’s cell phone in the ceiling tiles, then, with Pam, called it repeatedly. (“The Return”) This resulted in Andy punching a hole in the office wall.
Jim: (looking at the hole) Oh my God. That’s half-inch drywall.
Pam: I think we broke his brain.
8 ) Relocated Dwight’s desk to the men’s restroom. (“The Fight”)
7) Convinced Dwight a Thursday was a Friday. (“Performance Review”)
Jim: Today is Thursday, but Dwight thinks that it’s Friday. Aaaand, that’s what I’ll be working on this afternoon.
6) With Pam, convinced Dwight that he (Jim) had telekinetic powers. (“Casino Night”)
Jim: Ever since I was a little kid, like eight or nine, I could sort of control things with my mind.
Dwight: I don’t believe you, continue.
5) Placed Dwight’s wallet and desk items in the vending machine. (“Booze Cruise”)
Dwight: Where’s my wallet?
Jim: Oh there it is, ‘J1′.
Dwight: I don’t have any…
Jim: Here, have some nickels.
Dwight: [putting nickels into vending machine] 5, 10, 15, 20, 25…
4)Sent faxes signed “Future Dwight” on Dwight’s own stationery. (“Branch Closing”)
Jim: I don’t have a ton of contact with the Scranton branch, but before I left, I took a box of Dwight’s stationery, so from time to time I send Dwight faxes. From himself. From the future. [reading fax] “Dwight, at 8am today, someone poisons the coffee. Do not drink the coffee. More instructions will follow. Cordially, Future Dwight.”[Dwight receives the fax and reads it. He spots Stanley about to drink a cup of coffee]
Dwight: Noooooooooo! [smacks the cup out of Stanley's hands] You’ll thank me later.
3) Conditioned Dwight to expect an Altoid mint each time he heard a computer chime (“Phyllis’ Wedding”)
2) “Narrated” Dwight’s absurd behavior when Dwight taped a meeting. (“Back from Vacation”)
Andy: I am now chopping off Phyllis’ head with a chainsaw! Rinnninnninnn….
1) Dressed up as Dwight and parodied him. (“Product Recall”).
Jim: Fact: Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
Loading...
All time best has to be filling Dwight’s phone slowly with Nickels. I think Jim added one every morning, until Dwight got used to the phone being heavier. Then one day he took them all out, and Dwight ended up slamming the newly-feather-light phone into his head.
Elaborate. Elegant. =)
