The Office: Top 10 Jim And Dwight Pranks

Michael Scott may have been the star of The Office, but as my friend once put it, Jim and Dwight are the lifeblood. Without them, the show would never have been successful, or at least, not as successful as it is today. Their relationship is a major part of what keeps the show together and when it's not there, the show suffers for it.

Season 9’s Andy’s Ancestry sees Jim walk into the office like any other day and sit down at his desk–only it’s not Jim, it’s Steve, an Asian actor friend of theirs. Dwight asks him what he’s doing and doesn’t believe he’s the real Jim. But Asian Jim sells it really well, getting all of Jim’s dialogue and quirks down perfectly and passing Dwight’s test questions. He even looks into the camera the same way Jim does. Dwight is about to lose it when Pam comes along and kisses Asian Jim, telling him about the reservation she made for them at a restaurant. Now Dwight is confused. But the real kicker comes when Dwight takes their family portrait and shoves it into Asian Jim’s face, claiming that the person in that picture is the real Jim. But he turns it around only to see that Asian Jim is in that too!

5. Dwight Impersonation

In the cold open of the episode Product Recall, from Season 3, Jim comes in dressed up as Dwight all the way from the hairstyle to the watch. At first Dwight doesn’t notice anything. Then Jim starts talking, getting Dwight’s exact speech patterns down. Talking about bears is enough to get Dwight interested. Then Jim lists the three things Dwight loves most: Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica. That’s when Dwight realizes what Jim is doing, but appears to be unfazed by it.

But once Jim pulls out a bobble head, Dwight can’t hold it in anymore as he warns Jim that identity theft is not a joke, “millions of families suffer every year.” Jim just screams “Michael” the same way Dwight does and goes into his office. This prank deserves to be on the list just for Jim dressing up exactly like Dwight, but nailing his speech patterns and getting Dwight to talk about identity theft guarantees a spot.
