It seems that Wikipedia has a page devoted to Jim’s pranks on The Office. Just reading the list makes me chuckle. My personal faves?
- Assisted Pam in preparing a list of absurdly fake ailments during Dwight’s dictatorial reign over the office’s health care plan.
- Relocated Dwight’s desk to the men’s restroom.
- Convinced Dwight a Thursday was a Friday, leading to Dwight’s tardiness on the following day.
- Paid coworkers five dollars to call Dwight “Dwayne” for an entire day.
- Convinced Dwight an abandoned infant was in the women’s restroom, causing him to walk in on Meredith “on the can.”
- Incrementally increased the weight of Dwight’s telephone handset using nickels, then abruptly decreased the weight, causing Dwight to smack himself in the face with the phone.
- Sent faxes signed “Future Dwight” on Dwight’s own stationery, such as one warning that the coffee is poisoned, causing Dwight to run and “save” Stanley from drinking the coffee.
- While Dwight tape recorded a meeting for Michael, Jim said out loud that Dwight was completely nude, save for a baby bonnet and an Animal (from the Muppet Babies) tattoo on his stomach, holding a plastic knife to Stanley’s neck.
- Instead of hiring a male stripper at Michael’s request, hired a Benjamin Franklin impersonator.
What about you guys? Which pranks did you love most?
