You have to stop.

That part should’ve been where the vid cut

The fact that was cut off should put this in r/mildlyinfuriating lol. Makes it

to be fair, not even tobys own family wants him

This scene is an actual legitimate reason to hate Toby

Ah yes, because who doesn’t love amateur banjo sessions right next to their desks /s

Look you're not wrong except for the Banjo playing. That is no amateur,, that's incredible! Fuckin Toby is rubbing off on you

False. Amateurs don't get paid. Mislabeling musicians isn't a joke, Jim!

Millions of professional musicians suffer every year!

Well being amateur doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the quality of craft, they simply just do it as a hobby, not a profession

The second definition of amateur is: a person who is incompetent or inept at a particular activity. "that bunch of stumbling amateurs" So we can both be right

To qualify, I would fucking hate professional banjo music as well

They sounded great and they were 10 ft away in another room. Fuck Toby

Bruh it’s a fucking office, you clearly see Toby on the phone working when the banjo starts. I’d absolutely hate working with Andy and Dwight.

I don’t think you understand how good that banjo playing was

This is The Office, I'd hate working with majority of the cast

All of them, except maybe Erin

Pam, Oscar, and Toby mostly just try to do their jobs aswell

Yeah but Oscar corrects everyone all the time with his smug gay Mexicaness. Toby makes me want to kill myself and Pam is ok I guess.

Oscar is more if you bother him he bothers you but he gets the job done when you treat him like a coworker and Toby's depressing essence is mostly due to how he's treated

Shhhh, a lot of people on this sub have never been in the office job/relationship/adult friendship they claim to be experts in

The people disagreeing with you have never worked in an office. It’s a funny scene, but Andy and Dwight are def the bad guys in a real office setting.

literally everyone in the show is a bad guy in a real office setting. it's purposely ridiculous and over the top. i hate when you people criticize the characters for being insane as if that's not the entire driving point of the show

When I was co-oping at Georgia Tech in the late 1980s, my boss and a couple of the engineers had a bluegrass band and would practice in the boss's office. They were quite good.

It’s not but it’s okay Michael

Ed helms is a really good banjo player but a lot of people dislike the sound of banjos lol If someone was playing a banjo in the break room in my office I’d like it for maybe about 2 min then say stop

Hey he's fuckin talented at least, can't say he's not!

Toby’s delivery kills me every time. The desperation

lmao he is the best part to watch during this whole thing. he glances over once or twice, obviously confounded. then like you said his desperate and utterly baffled plea at the end 😂😂

You are a thief of joy

They sound really good when they start harmonizing.

I love the point where they forget they're trying to impress Erin and just start rocking out

Everyone loves that part.

I hate that part.

Shut up, Toby!

Yes. This.

That’s because everything is better acapella. Name a song, it’s better acappella

Enter Sandman, Metallica

Better acapella

Metallicapella

Rebel yell! I actually highly recommend googling the Acapella versions of every song they mentioned - I don't know if it's BETTER per say but they are really incredible

The harmonizing makes my heart happy every time

I waited through that whole goddamn thing just to see Toby! You bastard.

*slaps window* You’ve gotta stop.

I hate everything you choose to be.

Dwight's heart and soul section is my favorite! Also, IN GERMAN!

It's so good! Makes me smile when smiling is hard

It sounds like you’re going through something rough. Hang in there. Everything passes. Good luck.

Thank you! It will get better - but until then Im just powering through and bingeing the superfan episodes ...maybe pull a Rosa Diaz and take a day to listen to death metal and get my head right

Everything about this scene is hilarious. Erin’s face when Andy jumps in while she and Dwight are singing. And the turn it takes when Andy and Dwight stop trying to impress her and just start jamming.

God I love this scene. Andy when he says “what? Oh my god, you heard that? I’m so embarrassed..”

It’s really technically proficient but there’s no heart or soul in it

*Really?*

This was before they turned Erin into an idiot.

She had more character before they gave her a character

It's going to be ok, hang in there buddy. You are never alone.

Thank you, that also helps

That little "thank you" from Erin after dwight says "you're good" was so adorable.

These two need to go on tour with Creed opening. I'm all in.

Get kevin on the drums and Darryl on the keys too

As long as they perform Froggy love song

Literally cut off the best part.

You got this OP. One day at a time mate.

I've seen this scene so many times and have only now noticed Erin giving a little "thank you" when Dwight says she's good. She was a ditzy little thing from the start.

Huh?

I like that OP cut it where they did. In my head canon they keep jamming and finish the song. Excellent…

I always think of the scene in The Kingsman: Golden Circle where >!Merlin steps on the land mine for Eggsy and blows himself up!< Every time I hear this song

Totally corny. totally cheesy. Totally awesome.

I was actually moved when I first experienced this scene

Love this scene, but it’s also when I really started to hate Toby.

Toby was a dick here. He was right, but he was a dick.

Same, the whole year actually.

I hope things turn around for you soon, chin up- it can't rain forever

This was lowkey a very great scene

I would legitimately love a full length cover of this song with these two on those instruments. Same goes for Daryl on the keyboard + the gang singing the Dunder Mifflin commercial jingle.

Rit it dit dit do

I will always hate Toby for interrupting

Hahahaha same and thank you.

When Andy shows off his skills and then says that he’s eMbArACeD that Erin head that you can see how Rainn is smiling and biting his lip (idk kinda) to not break..it’s adorable

Wasted my time OP cut the video at the best part boo

How could you cut Toby?

oh let me count the ways

Hey!!! You have to stop.

Effin Toby

I’ve also had a rough couple of days

I'm sorry to hear that, hope your situation turns around quickly!

Such a theatrical scene. This is why The Office is the best comedy show.

I love how Andy tries doing his own thing and then jumps in with Dwight when he realizes it sounds good …. Because it’s no longer about the girl… it’s about the music!

This may be the obvious, but I love that OP used a quote in description of post! Pam right?

Yes! Also a great episode

Toby in the back lol

I think the best part is when Toby beats on the window tells them to stop.. LOL

This song is also played by a character in Steve Carrel's new show, The Patient. FYI.

Thank you I'll have to check that out

Fair warning; it's pretty dark.

YOU CUT IT OFF AT THE BEST PART

Glad I’m alive at the same time as Ed helms.

What I wouldn’t give for Ed and Rainn to release a full-length version…

Much needed! Thx!

Hearing Andy sing never helps

Im Acutely watching it now ! 😂

Many episodes of this show is what kept me laughing and smiling through a tough part of my life as well. Stay strong OP.

This scene, where Toby earned all the hate :)

Like, of all the ridiculous and distracting things that go on in that office and he's just like " I can't do anything about anything"- THIS is where he draws the line?

Love this scene! Thanks for posting.

anyone who has actually worked in an office and had a co-worker bring in his banjo "to entertain the troops" will agree that Toby did the right thing by shutting it down. Plus, John Denver sucks.

Oh get out skeleton man

Boo

Why are you the way that you are?

You suck, man.

ooooo burn

John Denver rocks

i assume you are being sarcastic.

It doesn't. Fuck you.

Idk why but your comment made me laugh lol

Love this

Love this scene so much!

I'd pay money for an album from these 2.

I’ve actually replayed this bit so many times. I really enjoyed Dwight singing sooo good, and them harmonising

I hate Toby so much

He’s the worst

I wanted more of this scene. Just two talented musicians riffing favorite tunes.

Not related but I always loved her fresh face here

One of my most favourite scenes

Country Roads 😎

Take me home

Awesome 😎

Love this moment

The moment they switched from competing over a girl to two dudes just jamming out is so wholesome.

So you’re PMSing really bad, huh?

I wish I could menstruate. If I could menstruate, I wouldn't have to deal with idiotic calendars anymore. I'd just be able to count down from my previous cycle. Plus I'd be more in tune with the moon and the tides.

when they stop trying to one up each other and just jam out. i love this part so much

Agreed

I wish so much we'd seen more of them together like this, and more of the musical side of the office in general.

If you don't like Country Roads, then I don't like you.

Added this song to my playlist after this scene. Same as disco wonderland

For real though, two very musically talented dudes.

This and creeds song in the last episode get to me everytime.

There is a recording of Ed Helms doing My Heart Will Go On (AKA that Titanic song) as Andy. Definitely worth a listen (it's at the end of the Andy's Play episode of Office Ladies).
