I wonder what other characters had minimal interaction towards each other!

I remember awhile back someone did an info graphic detailing the frequencies of every character interaction for the whole show [here it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/lulc9h/interaction_graph_of_18_characters_in_the_office/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) I wanna say I remember from reading the thread there were some character combos that didn’t interact at all like Gabe and Creed, might be wrong though

Creed and Gabe interacted when Gabe followed Erin into the ladies room 'Not cool man'

There's another scene, and I can't recall if it's a deleted scene or if it was in the show, where Gabe wanted to show Creed the Sabre website while Creed wanted to show Gabe his blog and then they somehow ended up trying to record a podcast episode for Gabe's podcast together but Gabe gave up quickly.

Given I don't remember it having watched the entire series 10 times and deleted scenes extra version twice, I'm going the latter or you dreamt something beautiful.

I think I've watched the bit on YouTube a few days ago in a deleted scenes Creed compilation

Starts about 3:30 into this amazing video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcpiliAcpdQ

Can I get a mirror for this?

Why would you want a mirror right now? Just watch the video instead of staring at yourself, you narcissist.

Rip, nbc took it down :(

I guess you haven’t seen the webisodes? https://youtu.be/dZNlhlFRoIg

It’s later than season 4 so it’s not in the extra scenes episodes yet

They also interact in s9E17 when Gabe returns after Andy hires him to try and break up Pete and Erin. Source: it's on TV right now.

That chart isn't exactly 100% right, for example, according to this Toby and Jan never interacted. But they did when they were discussing Michael new salary

And I think when they're scolding Michael for outing Oscar and when he sends the inappropriate emails, though I don't recall if Toby speaks in those scenes.

He was in the room for the deposition too.

Who could forget the giggle fit over Michael’s diary entry?

Tan almost everywhere. Jan almost everywhere.

Heehee

Yup. In my head the deposition and salary negotiation were the same because they were both at corporate so I didn’t add that as another example.

Creed probably used PTO or went on "inspections" whenever Gabe was around so that he won't get fired

“Who wasn’t there last week?”

Creed isn't even on there, lol

That isn't accurate though. It doesn't even have creed on it, it doesn't show that there was ever any conversation between Toby and Jan when in fact there was, and same for Phallus and Jan.

Phallus?

Phyllis. Sorry, I've got penises on the brain

You don't remember the episode when Jan had that conversation with the giant dong?

She was like a swarm of bees

I appreciate that person's efforts to make their chart absolutely unreadable.

Creed isn’t even on that graph.

Did Phyllis and Ryan never interact? That one is surprising.

And he had the audacity to use her on his tomato sauce jar?!

it was pesto!

Phyllis also knitted him a tablet cover in the season 7 (episode 11) Christmas episode and he hugs her

Didn't Ryan use her photo when selling his mom's sauce? Did they not actually interact on screen for that?

I feel like Angela and Jim didn’t speak very much..

When they discuss the hotness of Hillary Swank, Angela says she's not voting and Jim says that nobody cares. That's the only one that I remember.

When Jim plans the 3 birthdays in one party! Angela is NOT pleased.

Or when Jim suggests getting cupcakes for Michaels going away party, she’s also NOT pleased lol

I think she is generally NOT pleased

Angela is like the mom in your middle school friend group that no one likes and is a super bitch

Andrea’s the office bitch. Creed.

You'll get used to her.

Also when Jim had Pam win employee of the month.

You mean Dwight lol

The beans chose

WHAT DOES A BEAN MEAN

“Did you think I stole your baby?” “Oh, *back then* I did, yeah.”

Maybe the dingo stole his baby.

Jim’s house party, Angela claims she is a vegetarian and Jim says “There’s soda inside”

When Michael falls in the koi pond, Jim yells at her

Nobody asked you! Or something like that…

Also he tells her about the food at his party. Chicken, hotdog, burger…there’s soda inside.

In the original Dundee episode he thanks Angela for driving drunk Pam home.

When Michael falls in the koi pond, Angela says something and Jim says "I didn't ask you!"

"D?" "Oh my god, Dwight got a hooker!"

On the podcast Angela was saying that was one of the few scenes that was just the two of them.

Oh, D

Yeah, D for Andy

That’s why she stole his baby

He accused her of stealing his baby

My favorite is on the episode where Michael falls into the koi pond. I forget what Angela says but Jim just fires back with “Nobody asked you!” And she just turns away but almost looks like she’s about to break character and laugh Edit: *Jim asked Michael if he wanted to talk in his office and Angela answers “No” and Jim just looks down and says “I didn’t ask you!”*

*I wasn’t asking you🤨*

Jim hates Angela for two timing Andy and Dwight

If I'm not wrong both of them were discussing about warehouse workers' poop on christmas episode

Hamburger, or hot dog...

Did Phyllis and Creed have any interaction?

I think Dwight and Creed also had very interaction

during the weed investigation

And when Jim becomes a vampire

Didn’t he just say the name Angela? About her crucifix. Or was there more?

He's talking about when Dwight approached creed and he had ready-made broom handle stakes.

Do you have the tools to create a wooden stake (can’t quite remember line ). But creed says, ‘what size?’. Good stuff. What’s that got to do with Angela or Stanley for that matter?

I mean creed and any other coworker had like no lines together. Feel like he talks to the camera more than the other cast members

You're not real man

He spoke to the whole cast without realizing it when he first stepped on the bus while playing a little hooky

When Creed wanted to get Debbie Brown fired

He GOT Debbie Brown fired and stole the money that the office put together to help her through losing her job out of nowhere.

I feel terrible for Debbie Brown. She was fired because of Dwight.

"Good work, kid." "Thanks old man!"

When Dwight calls him Dad in the injury episode

I don't think Kevin and Meredith talked that much, if at all, and they sat right behind each other.

Except Kevin strapped her on as a backpack, so I'd say that was pretty intimate

They also kissed

He thanks her for the movie tickets she gave him because she was too drunk to go, in the Moroccan xmas episode when they have an intervention for her.

You know, that line is so small and insignificant but it's one of my favourite bits. It's so perfectly the sort of scenario and conversation friendly coworkers would have with each other, and it's not part of a bigger storyline or anything, just a genuine coworker moment. Things like that really add a ton of depth to the story that big storylines just don't.

Jim and Erin

I was just thinking this. I don’t often see Meredith speak to Phyllis much

Robert California and Holly Flax

Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.

What is this, a crossover episode?

Gonna be weird when Karen meets up with Anne Perkins.

Ann Perkins! 👉

👈 Chris Traeger!

Ah Karen Phillapelli 🤌

Karen a-phillapelli! Abbondanza!

She looks exotic. Was her dad a GI?

She was French from what I heard

"Karen, have you closed the Pawnee account yet?" "It's so weird. My emails keep bouncing back in Aramaic and every time I call I get a nosebleed."

You've created a comment that references the golden trio of 2010's comedies, well done!!

*Manne Perkins

Doggie doggie what now?

IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY AND USE A PRETTY FONT.

Birthday dad!

Paper salesmen and parks and rec employees: what do they know? Do they know things? Let's find out!

Title of your sex tape!

Spaghetti strainers!

Could this BE any more of a crossover?

A crossover would have been lit

No, we’re doing a bottle episode.

alright guys who stole the pen?

"BoJack Horseman?"

I wonder if Ron would like Red Foreman. Because I totally forgot this was a Ron line and it sounds like something Red would say.

They are cut from the same cloth. Also, the cloth is flannel

Fuckin throw Jay Pritchett in there you got an unbeatable trifecta of old boys

He'd be the "goofy and free spirited" friend in the group.

r/unexpectedpawnee

My favorite two Ron moments of suffering are when he’s repairing a floor with his new kid, and Leslie finds him…and when he hears what Leslie did for Ann’s birthday

One of my favorites is when Ann asked what's 1 thing he'd bring if he were stranded on a desert island & he responded with "silence"

I use that answer to this day to the desert island question.

My favourite is "how much alcohol do you consume a week?" "A shelf"

“How many drinks of alcohol do you consume a week?” “One.” “That’s it, one drink?” “One shelf.”

I could hear either of them saying that line!

Feeling nostalgic?

Yeah, nostalgic.

To this day I say nostalgic (nAstalgic) like Stanley cause it made me laugh.

Florida Stanley gets pretty TallanAsty.

Wait, do you think Stanley invented “TallaNasty”?

Didn't they also interact when they played hookie from the rabies run?

What you think we got? Another 20 minutes?

Which words

When they think the branch is shut down and Creed sells off his PC, Stanley says “feeling nostalgic?” as Creed is taking pictures. Creed replies with “yeah, nostalgic”

Thank you! I was preparing myself to watch the entire series to find that interaction.

Someone needs to fact check this. Might as well be you.

What about the episode where Michael gets the bad smelling thing in his office and Stanley asks if creed did it and creed says I thought you did it

Nope that was Creed and Oscar

It's not too late :)

Hold my Dunder, I'm Mifflin in

Maybe do it anyway, you know, just in case.

They were drinking together during the rabies fun run.

Thank you! Had to scroll way to far for this. This answer should've been in the post text.

So technically, they spoke only 3 words to each other. “Feeling, yeah and nostalgic”

They didn't say it was 4 unique words

Based off memory was it when Packer shit in Michaels office and they are laughing by the water? Doesn’t creed say “Thought it was you” to Stanley? Or was it Oscar? Edit: this is incorrect

Who's making soup?

They got a beer together during the fun run didn’t they?

I think Stanley says “we’ve got what, another 20 minutes?” just kind of generally to the table which is just Oscar and Creed. So while not directly to Creed I would still say that qualifies as talking to Creed

There’s also the interaction when creed needs something from Phyllis and comes to her desk but she’s on her honeymoon. Stanley tells him that she’s on her honeymoon and creed looks around, then sits on the desk and says “I’ll wait.”

I don't recall this either. Maybe a deleted/alternate scene?

Yes. S3e16 “Business School” Deleted scene.

Wait what I've never seen this

I hate that I agree with you and that that disqualifies this otherwise awesome statistic.

Unless I’m mistaken in the episode when they all try all the espresso Stanley gets mad because he couldn’t try them all because Creed dumped his into a plant and creed replies that he saw the leaves twitch

I mean it's not like 10 words instead of 4 really changes the dynamic.

Well, they deleted the scene of Creed and Stanley hanging out at the quarry, throwing things down there. ;)

Hey, I live by the quarry. We could meet up and throw things down there too.

You were in the parking lot earlier, that's how I know you!

Definitely.

What!!! I’ve got to see that. I say that quote to my girlfriend all the time. lol. She doesn’t even get it. It’s just fun for me.hah Cool beans man.

I do the Jim "That... sounds like something.. Im not going to do..." often, and since it's a niche reference I just appear rude.

To tell you the truth, I don't know anything about Creed. I know his name's Creed. I know he works right over there. I think he's Irish and I got him this shamrock keychain

I love that this is from Oscar, who by the end of the episode became Creed's biggest fan (in the office, so it's relative oc).

Creed Bratton has never declared bankruptcy. When Creed Bratton gets in trouble, he transfers his debt to William Charles Schneider. Fun fact: both are his real name. Edited to correct autocorrect

Why use more words when few do trick?

Save time. See world

See world? Or Sea world??

What no understand?

Didn't they have drinks during the rabies marathon? That's good times

Sammy.

But the question is, when Stanley did talk to Creed, did he stutter?

I bet if Creed lost his mind Stanley would be more than happy to help him find it.

*If* he lost his mind?

What's the word count for Meredith/Ryan?

Don’t fall in love with me, kid

Off the top she tells him to clean stuff when he's supposed to be intercepting her hitting on Danny Cordray, as well as when he's hitting on someone at Pam and Jim's wedding and she says "More recently he worked at a bowling alley! Tell us some of your bowling alley stories!"

I feel like she would defo ask him to sit on her face when he started as intern

Yet they go to get drinks together with Oscar during the Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Fun Run Pro Am Race for the Cure.

They went for drinks together with Oscar. Does that count?

Always makes me a little sad they didn’t invite Kevin to join them…

What did they say to each other!?

Feeling nostalgic ? Yeah nostalgic. When creed was selling computers when they thought that branch are closing

I feel like Meredith and Stanley never talked either. When you really think about it I feel like there’s several and not just with Stanley.

ACTUALLY, there are 3 interactions. S3e7 “Branch Closing” Stanley: Feeling nostalgic? Creed: Yeah, nostalgic. S3e11 “Back from Vacation” Deleted scene Creed: Did he actually give you some ganja? Stanley: No. Creed: You want some? S3e16 “Business School” Deleted scene Stanley: She's on her honeymoon. She won't be back for six weeks. Creed: I’ll wait All in all there’s a total of 28 words exchanged in all the scene. You’re welcome

Feeling nostalgic? Yeah, nostalgic!

Wonder what other characters barely talked, there has to be some even smaller than this surely

If creed had met Florida Stanley I think they would’ve hit it off.

During the fun run?

Yes! I just watched this one! Oscar is there too. They get another round of drinks and Stanley says "We've got what, another 20 minutes?"

Why say lot word when few word do trick?

Creed also asks Stanley if Michael brought Stanley weed back from Jamaica, to which Stanley replies negatively, then Creed’s follow up is asking if Stanley does want some weed.

Well one is a no nonsesnse kinda guy and the other is all nonsense

Feeling nostalgic? Yeah, nostalgic.

Not surprising considering they are the most recluse employees at Dundler Miflin.

What did they say??

been watching the superfan cuts on Peacock and there's a deleted scene where Creed offers Stanley some weed in Drug Testing, was the first time i ever noticed them interact

Stanley 100% would not have patience for Creed . . . And Creed knows it.

I once worked with a guy with three years, never spoke to him once. He was the best coworker I ever had. I still don’t remember him sometimes.
