The look of fear on Jim’s face when he saw that the doors were chained is something that will never fail to be funny.
That part always bothered me, if Dwight was in the snowman the whole time how did He lock it? The only explanation is that he did it beforehand which means Jim would have noticed on his way out the front door which would have immediately told him that Dwight was up to something and he wouldn't have gone outside
Mose
@@Jerry-tg7zx Even if Dwight got someone else to do it, Jim was standing right by the door the whole time, so it would've had to be locked beforehand
@@david2134he paid off the camera crew
@@brucewaite3733 ...that's actually a canonically plausible explanation
As much as I enjoy Jim's pranks, it's nice to see them backfire once in a while.
Dwight’s smile at 2:00 always gets me
Man we all constantly laugh at Dwight for his crazy antics, but let’s be honest: he is SCARY AF with that mallard-secret pen affair.
Yeah that was the scary part, not the assaulting a coworker, even while he was down.
@@Simqer dude, it was snow. And it’s something we can expect from Dwight since it was Jim who started it. What is scary about the pen story is his expression and most of all, the lenghts he would go for something that stupid. And let's consider his levels of paranoia.
@@Simqer he had it coming
@@cptclonks7279 I know it's a comedy and all and I get that, that's not what I got an issue with.
What I'm pointing out is that it was the espionage that tipped off Halyke that Dwight isn't the nicest of people, not the staging an ambush and then to assault a coworker
@Halyke, I'm guessing you haven't been hit with a proper and nicely compressed snowball. Those things hurt, even just the normal ones will hurt if you get smashed on your face. Moreover he was hitting him repeatedly with force from above. I mean, they won't injure you much, but they might leave you bruises and a nosebleed is quite possible.
@@Simqer I remember back in the old days when us kids would throw snowballs at each other and our parents didn't care. --- Really Dad? That sounds so barbaric! A person might have been seriously injurrrred with a bruise!!! Glad we live today, when people have sense and most riots are peaceful.
I love the way Dwight stands on Jim after throwing snowballs at him, yells in victory, then runs away like a troll that lives under a bridge 😂
One of my favorites that sadly didn’t make this list is Dwight using Jim’s credit card to buy Pam flowers
I would rank Dwight's credit card prank right behind Jim's "bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica" prank.
I don't understand that prank, like, who got pranked? Neither did Dwight lose anything or got messed with, nor Jim or Pam
@@Meyus_ Dwight used Jim's credit card to buy Pam flowers that cost 250 bucks. Pam was happy, Dwight celebrated a rare victory and Jim brooded over having to pay off the $250.
@@Meyus_ Jim was out 250 dollars but he couldn't call out Dwight on it (as he intended), as he then had to admit to Pam he didn't buy her the flowers she was so happy about.
Loved that move from Dwight.
I love how Dwight automatically assumed that he and Pam were gonna be stuck in the lift for hours, even though they were only “stuck” for less than 30 seconds.
Well Dwight came prepared anyways, that Camelbak would become very handy when stuck in an elevator.
Establishing pee corners is very important in emergency situations.
That’s not true… it took a while for them to get out
@@trinitym5552 i would like one, ive never seen snow personally 😫
I think it’s funny that because he was mashing the buttons is the reason the elevator would have emergency braked.
Honestly, Jim hurling a snowball at Dwight’s face and refusing to apologize was too far. He deserved the subsequent torture.
He would have deserved perhaps a couple but not hundreds
Difference between a slush ball and a snow ball. Stinging pain
@@iamjosh7290 no Jim had it coming for his and Pam’s pranks though the years..
It was just a dusting, though?
Dwight’s revenge on him for that is the most satisfying moment in the entire show for me
I think most people forget how good Kevin is with circus boards. Being able to manipulate that elevator’s circus board was amazing work of genius.
Circuit? Right?
@@Drekon009 yes, he doesn't know what it's called. But Kevin said "Circus" actually.
didn’t he cause the elevator to break lmao
when he said "circus" board I ABSOLUTELY LOST IT
honestly it's amazing to me he didn't electrocute himself lol
I actually think the Stanley prank is funnier without the reveal that Dwight and him are tricking Jim. Stanley having a weirdly obscure sense of humour just makes sense to me.
He is a man of... Unique tastes. Inboth pranks and "art."
Honestly, I don't think that prank really backfired that much in general. Jim got what he needed and Dwight and Stanley got meatballs lol
They could both be true, started out as a joke that he liked, then created the scam afterwards.
Please don’t eat meatballs like that!
Maybe he did like the joke and wanted to reap the benefits after seeing so much food lol
A lot of people say Jim could have saved face with Charles if he just said he had an important dinner he had to go to straight after work and had no time to get ready.
Or he could've just taken off the bowtie...
@@cpt.dr.hawkeye1740 My thoughts exactly. Lose the bowtie, take the hair down a notch, maybe even lose the jacket. Not a lot of work and it'd help a ton
I think Charles was the one person who saw though Jim and his pranks and saw Dwight for how smart and hard working he was..
What's wrong with wearing a tux to work?
@@Blackman19498 Everyone knows Dwight is smart and hardworking but Jim gets the work done and still manages to stay lighthearted. A good boss wouldn't look down on an employee for something like that. Both Jim and Dwight are unorthodox employees behaviourally but both do great at their job. Either Charles disciplines both for their attitude around the office, or he should let both of it slide as long as the work is done. Charles was a terrible boss for criticizing only one and failing to see that Jim was a great employee despite his attitude (again lets not forget Dwight's attitude is horrible too and that's what makes it unfair)
I like how Dwight steps on Jim as he claims victory 🤣
"How about icing it" genuinely makes me laugh
Andy's phone prank didn't backfire in my opinion, it worked flawlessly
It worked, but from Jim's reaction, Andy punching a hole in the wall isn't the kind of reaction he was going for.
It turning out nicely is very different from working flawlessly
Actually Andie calling it straight as it was - "Stealing people's stuff and hiding them isn't funny" makes it backfire. I mean its not a prank if its a crime. Andy could have ruined Jim's life and career both if he took it seriously.
@@liboud22 He did take it seriously. He just didn't know the correct way to handle it, and opted for punching a hole in the wall
i mean pranks are meant to be funny for both parties to an extent or at least just mildly annoying. If Andy had broken into tears, I am sure Jim would have felt the same way
I never understood why Pam got Kevin out of all people to mess with the “circus” board lmao
He’s a secret genius
Who else would she ask? Stanley?
That's part of the joke
@@darkpaw1522 Stanley would've done a better job. Ditto Ryan or Jim.
@@alex7171 Stanley would’ve refused. Ryan definitely, if not for the clout. Debatable on Jim.
0:54 even Pam knew Jim crossed a line. A line he will soon regret crossing
Real talk, Jim went too far at times. He's lucky Michael is such a chill boss, a lot of the stuff he does would get him fired.
Good thing it’s a TV show and not real life
@@samboi3830 he meant jim could’ve been fired from Dunder Mifflin
@@samboi3830 no, im pretty sure its a documentary about a office...
Michael wasn't the problem, it was Toby. Toby took all of Dwight's complaints and stuffed them in a box under his desk. He NEVER escalated a bankers box full of Dwight's complaints of harassment from Jim to corporate.
@@ohduana6746IRL Dwight would’ve been fired before jim, for harassment. The pranks were always in response to Dwight harassing first.
Revenge is a dish best served with a million snowballs, or with a million meatballs
So revenge is best served in ball form is what you're saying.
After Dwight’s rightly served retaliation this could have been an opportunity for the show to address Jim’s excessive targeted pranking at Dwight and Dwight’s over the top attempts at things like safety(See fire safety episode).
The snowball prank was the absolutely best revenge. Jim could not topped that. Dwight won the war with that one.
That face at 2:01. However bad my day has been, that will always make me smile.
With all the money spent on the pranks, Jim could have bought a Lambo
But I'd say it was a great investment
He already has a Pambo
@@jerilane4420 lmaoo
With the tuxedo prank instead of explaining the prank he probably should’ve just owned it tbh 😅 I feel like if he just said like “I was told yesterday u were coming today and wanted to make a good impression” or something instead of claiming he’s a jokester which is unprofessional 💀
8:30 i could never understand what was the point of giving Andy's phone to Pam if afterward she gives it back to Jim
The only possible (and logical) reason might be that Pam needed to make sure the volume was up etc. Jim couldn't check/set up because he sat right in front of Andy. Who knows though? 🤔
i think it might've been to get andy's cell phone number out of his phone without him noticing
You sure that’s the only possible (and logical) reason?
@@nnzd7858 I used the words "might be"... you have any other idea? Let's explore that 🙂
Pretty simple. Jim just wanted another moment of flirtation with the love of his life
"lemme just rearrange the circus board" 💀💀💀
In the first skit, if you look at PAMS face, you can tell she felt bad for Dwight and she knew Jim messed up
Looks more to me like she's trying to suppress a smile.
"Let me look at the circus board."
Lol 😂😂😂
Dwight's face at 2:01 always makes me laugh
"how bout icing it. LOL" has to be one of Dwight's best moments for me.
Backfiring pranks was a good balance to the show . Everyone gets a piece
You should have shown the second part of Dwight's snow ball revenge. It was terrifying.
Something that Jim can never retaliate to yes 👍👍👍
2:40 I am sorry to have been “bugging you” all these years; lmao
I never understood the tuxedo backfire.
Why didn’t Jim just take off the bowtie and black coat? He would’ve looked totally normal after
7:58 when he started singing I couldn’t stop laughing cause that’s literally me at work 😭😭😭
😭
5:15 It's Stanley's version of sprinting for me.
I knew that snowball prank was too much when I saw Pam's reaction.
1:06 I still wonder how Dwight managed to lock the door behind Jim.
Mose.
Love how Dwight mocks Jim for acknowledging that it’s the first snowfall of winter even though seasons earlier, Michael remarks that Dwight cried during Armageddon and he said he was crying because it was snowing when it turned midnight
Jim is the office bully and quite frankly very satisfying to see him get humbled, even thought it doesn’t happen nearly as much as it should!
🤷♂️ Most scenes of Dwight in the office are of him being rude to everyone else. Personally, I'd say Dwight is more of the office bully.
The Snowballs got out of control, but the meatballs had a ‘delicious’ outcome.
Jim could've just taken the bowtie off and he would've looked fine...
@bo rick it's like wearing a ball gown to work. There is a very distinct cultural and stylistic different between the two, especially to people in the business world who are familiar with both
@bo rick definitely taking off the bowtie would help. But tuxedo shirts are of a finer weave than most business casual shirts and the pants are ESPECIALLY noticeable, being an entirely different cut, fit, elasticity, and not to mention, having an obvious satin strip down the leg
@bo rick No, Stewart Fletcher is right. I'm not even an English/American person, but I can tell only from series and movies how strong the meaning of wearing a tuxedo, as opposed to a regular working suit, is. It's as misplaced as wearing a McDonald's employee jacket when serving food at a 5 stars restaurant. Their design is also entirely different, taking off the bowtie would just be weirded imo. Like, you're wearing a tuxedo suit at work, that's weird enough, and you didn't put the bowtie on ? It raises even more questions.
@@StewartFletcher Imo, taking off the bowtie would just add more confusion to the situation. Why are you wearing a tuxedo at work, and why didn't you put a bowtie on your tux ? As if you went to a job interview in a jogging tracksuit, and put loafers instead of sports shoes.
@bo rick honestly it is.
back in the day us kids would have snow ball fights. i promise that a snowball to the face hurts, it hurts so much that it would be hard for that situation to not escalate in a split second, especially if you were sitting indoors, at your desk lol. i love this show but jims snow ball is out of character, he would never be that cruel
“How bout icing it?😃”
Just perfect delivery
Stanley laughing gets me😂😂😂
My favorite is Stanley and Dwight scheming to get Jim to give them free meatballs.
Best prank not included here? Jim and Pam deciding to let Dwight in on a prank against an office visitor hinting to Dwight that he should cover the toilet seat with plastic wrap when the visitor goes to the bathroom. Dwight gets sooo excited but misinterprets the message only to jump the visitor and instead wraps his head with plastic wrap, almost suffocating him, at the same time yelling "I know what to do, I know what to do!" It's Dwight at his psychopathic best!
"I know what to do, I know what to do!" has now become a war-cry in our family.
Wait what?
@@dord4453 Dwight misunderstands cue to put plastic wrap on toilet to prank new hire, tries to suffocate new hire with plastic wrap instead.
Dwight’s line when Jim says it’s snowing are just genius. I can watch that again and again.
The snowball one gets so much worse, car park full of snowmen and Jim absolutely terrified.
OHHHH MY GOD! HE SAID “sorry for BUGGING you all these years” NO WAY
Behind the scene head canon for meatball prank: Jim actually fished all those meatballs out of a dumpster, after a restaurant threw them out because those've gone bad.
1:55 Dwight's face gets me every time
How about icing it LOL 😂😂😂
“how bout icing it lol” i love that
I'm gonna be honest I don't like Jim as a character so seeing his pranks backfire makes me really happy. Honestly the snowball thing went too far, he could've just ignored Dwight's comments instead of throwing something in his face. It's not even a prank honestly, just reacting immatruely. Dwight paying that back tenfold and making his point about how painful a snowball can be was hilarious. I was actually cackling when he texted "maybe you should put some ice on it"
Frankly, Dwight is no more righteous a character than Jim throughout the series, and especially in this episode. They're both immature
Well that escalatored quickly. I guess his flip phone really does make him...flip out.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
😎
I love the way Andy sings Zombie....lol
I wouldn’t say the prank on Andy backfired since it kickstarted the event that led to him becoming not annoying
I think cause it's not a prank - it's stealing.
Dwights response to years to being pranked is to psychology damage Jim for life LOL
Poor stapler… jello, now meatballs… give it a rest, Halpert!
"so I can observe Jim, track Jim, and *destroy* Jim." - Dwight Schrute
I'm surprised Stanley noticed the phone being thrown through the roof.
6:55 “Let me take a look at the circus board,” -Kevin
Bro the way i was laughing with stanley 😂 🤣
Love Stanley's laugh
The phone prank was hysterical. I used to block my number and call our cousin up when he was drinking....it was always a good time cause he couldn't call the number back but they(me) just kept on calling
Seeing jim's pranks turn on him is always funny
Ok but let’s talk about Stanley little jog 😂😂😂
By far the funniest thing on TV in years, and it's still gold even after multiple viewings
😭😂Jim got tired of Dwight’s Crazy Pranks so Jim became JACK RYAN🔥
Sun Tzu could learn a thing or two from Dwight.
IMO you guys should put when Dwight uses Jim's CC to buy expensive flowers for Pam so he can't return the gift, it was smart, didn't cause physical pain which is classy and Dwight giving smt nice to her best friend was a nice touch.
Many layers in that prank.
6:55 “let me take a look at the CIRCUS board” 😂
The snowball moment was the first one that comes to mind when I read the video's tittle, super
2:01 i love that smile
I love that locked door is like being trapped in a room with a boss in a game
It’s so satisfying seeing Jim humbled my Charles. Good to know his childish antics doesn’t impress everyone.
I need someone to pull the meatball prank on me
Stanley, Dwight & possibly you are quite brave and trusting. If I were making prank meatball my hygiene practices might not be quite up to health code standards. They might even include some unpalatable additions.
@@stvdagger8074 interesting thing to be proud of
you forgot The Alliance when he almost got hit by Roy
not a prank
Should’ve included Jim accidentally smashing the window
Which one was that? I don't know every episode.
@@as3957 it was season 7 Christmas episode
@@daniyalsakhawat979 Thanks, I'll look it up.
I've never seen Stanley so happy!
I like how they changed andy but they reverted him to dorky and mean on S9.
Jim and Pam were definitely the antagonists throughout the story.
Love these pranks and LOVE it when Dwight got Jim back with the snowballs, and love Dwight at 2:01.
Did Kevin say “circus board” 😂😂
Yes😂😂😂😂
now i want some meatballs
USE YOUR TALONS!
Unpopular opinion - Jim was kind of a bully !!
I agree. I think Jim and Dwight were both dysfunctional, and their rivalry was toxic.
Let me take a look at the *circus* board 😂😂😂
Me take a look at the circus board
Dwight deserved that win lol
Is that just magical for you little girl😂😂😂😂😂 kills me out everytime
Let me look at the circus board lol
Andys phone is still in the ceiling 😂😂
It was nice to see Jim get his comeuppance from Dwight. Dwight may have only got one in the whole show, but it was a doozy and seriously broke Jim a bit upstairs.
He really hates that wall 😂
I'm a fan of Jim as much as the next guy, but that snowball prank, he deserved that
To be fair, Dwight did insult Jim, all because he said it was snowing outside. Dwight deserved the snowball to the face!
Yeah, he did insult Jim, but I think verbal insults are fought back verbally, not physically. Jim could have answered back verbally, he's witty. Him getting physical, called for physical response from Dwight too
LOOL... he isn't a psychopath... but he's one of those people who maybe doesn't understand the idea of proportional payback.
I have always disliked the whole "Duck-Mallard" thing - a Mallard is a duck. It's like someone saying "That's a pretty dog" and replying "Um, it's a Labrador." It's not a correction.
Dwight might get pedantic, but he would know that a mallard is a duck.
Closer to saying an Arabian horse, or red tailed hawk.
It could have made sense if they had an explanation for why he thought that was important. Like, a line where Dwight talks about why the particular type of animal should be specified, maybe something about hunting or farming.
i can't believe the scene where michael and dwight throw jim's phone out the window while they're driving to utica isn't here. they're laughing abt it until jim passive aggressively comments that that's great because cece's newborn baby pictures were on it. then the car gets all quiet and it cuts to them walking around in the grass by the highway looking for it (unless that's a deleted scene, but i really think it was in the show?)
It was from the show indeed! However that was before Cece existed :) it was Jim's brother's newborn baby, other than that you're right on, and I always love that scene.
@@ojtortoise1274 ohhh RIGHT because he was only dating Pam at the time, thank you!
Stanley was laughing at Jim all this time 🤣
Imagine Andy looking at his missed calls when he got his phone back. Jim kinda sucks.
Imagine having to listen to Andy’s horrible singing for hours
Seriously! I get they're normally really rude to one another and really inconsiderate, but who the hell sings that loud in an office place with other people working? It was honestly a really harmless prank too, he could've called his own phone and followed the sound (eventually leading it to the ceiling boards and just collecting his phone)
Realistically, you could make the argument that ALL of the office pranks are too far when you realize they almost always ended in someone upset. I feel it could've just been ended very quickly without anyone getting hurt if someone just asked him to stop. Jim always makes something into a prank.
Jim could've told that he just came from his relatives wedding that was going all night and he didn't have any time to change clothes. It's both convincing and would show that he is serious and dedicated about his work. Instead he gave a weird fucking rant about Dwight and made whole thing awkward.
