If you think you’re the world’s biggest Dunder Mifflin fan, think again. This Strange Trivia About The Office will separate the true superfans from the casual binge-watchers—and you won’t believe how weird (and hilarious) some of these facts are.
I’ve combed through nine seasons of paper, pranks, and painfully awkward meetings to find some of the most obscure, funny, and downright strange moments ever aired.
Ready to test your knowledge and laugh out loud? Let’s get weird, Office-style.
While you’re here, grab your favorite mug from The Office Collection at CupofMood—because even Michael Scott would agree that trivia hits harder with coffee.
1. What Is the Name of Michael Scott’s Movie Script?
Devoted fans know Michael Scott isn’t just the World’s Best Boss. He’s also an aspiring screenwriter. His magnum opus? “Threat Level Midnight”.
A wild action flick written and directed by Michael himself, starring his alter ego Agent Michael Scarn. Honestly, Hollywood missed out.
At CupofMood, I honor this cinematic masterpiece with mugs perfect for sipping while rewatching Scarn’s dance scene.
Whether you’re drinking coffee or “beer me that beer,” The Office Collection makes movie night feel epic.
2. What Item Does Jim Put in Jell-O in the Pilot?
I think this How Grinch Stole Christmas Mug perfectly captures Jim’s energy—petty, playful, and office-perfect. And now for the answer.
It’s one of the most iconic pranks in TV history: Jim Halpert puts Dwight Schrute’s stapler in Jell-O in the very first episode. It set the tone for one of the most hilarious workplace rivalries I’ve ever seen.
And yes, you can literally drink from the prank itself. The The Office Heat Activated Mug reveals the iconic image every time you pour hot coffee. Petty perfection in a cup.
3. What’s Creed’s Job at Dunder Mifflin?
Honestly, no one knows. Not even Creed. In fact, in Season 2, he says, “I run a small fake ID company from my car with a laminating machine and a piece of chalk.” Classic Creed.
If your office also has a mystery employee who somehow collects a paycheck and chaos, they need a mug from this collection. Preferably one that says, It’s Only A Job.
4. What’s the Name of Angela’s Favorite Cat?
Angela Martin’s cats are her children, and Sprinkles was her pride and joy—until Dwight put her down. (RIP.)
That incident almost destroyed Angela and Dwight’s twisted, tender love story.
If you’re the kind of person who throws birthday parties for your cat, I have a mug for that. Actually, several.
5. What Does Pam Steal During The Dundies?
During the now-infamous Chili’s scene, Pam Beesly steals the salt and pepper shakers after being banned for life. Why? Because Pam gets what Pam wants.
Celebrate your inner Pam with at Chili’s and spice up your margarita with the vibrant Red Chili Peppers Margarita Glass! It’s the perfect #cupofmood for those who love a little heat with their drink.
6. What’s the Name of Kevin’s Band?
Speaking of bands. Do you know who else was in a band? Elsie, The Cow! You can see her in her band glory in this vintage Elsie The Cow Bi-Centennial Glass . But I digress.
Kevin Malone moonlights as the drummer in Scrantonicity. They’re a Police cover band that once played at Phyllis’s wedding. (They were, uh, okay.)
7. What Fake Disease Does Dwight Claim to Have?
When downsizing rumors hit Scranton, Dwight tells Michael he has leprosy in a desperate attempt to avoid getting fired. It’s a hilarious (and deeply unhinged) move that only Dwight could deliver with a straight face.
Let’s face it: your coffee tastes better when you sip it with a little bit of delusion. And what better way to help people understand your delusion than with this Understand My Problems Mug!
8. What’s Stanley’s Favorite Day of the Year?
Forget birthdays or Christmas. For Stanley Hudson, Pretzel Day reigns supreme. When it comes to free carbs, Stanley doesn’t play around.
We recommend honoring Pretzel Day with a mug that says exactly how you feel about carbs, even when they’re coming from pretzels. Like this No Carb Left Behind Mug say, leave no carbs behind!
9. What’s the Name of Michael’s Screenplay’s Main Character?
Michael’s big-screen hero is none other than Agent Michael Scarn, an action star who moonwalks through crime scenes and saves the President. Totally believable.
Rewatch Threat Level Midnight, quote it loudly. And better yet, and sip from this Miniso Captain America Soup Bowl to take the superhero level up a notch!

And what the heck, here’s a bonus trivia question and answer.
What’s written on Meredith’s birthday card that causes everyone to laugh?
