I’m sure Steve Carell and NBC had no idea that years after airing The Office, it would be as wildly popular as it still is today. Thanks to Netflix and other streaming services, fans (old and new) get to fall in love with the gang at Dunder Mifflin as many times as they want without ever getting sick of Michael’s “that’s what she said” jokes.
Recently, to bring even more humor to the show, a Twitter user decided to match up characters from the show with their perfect canine counterpart—with details and explanations for each. Obviously, it’s hilarious and accurate. So, thanks to @samzsmith for giving us the laughs.
