The Office Season 1

Super easy 'The Office' Season 1 trivia, because that’s my level

/ TV Shows by Season / By

I never watched “The Office.” I picked up through pop culture osmosis what Dunder Mifflin was, and I already know about Pam and Jim because GIFs, but I just never caught up with it. 

My nephew (who is 12) is a huge fan of the show. He’s watched every season, like, four times. So I told him last summer I’d watch it. 

Also it’s a major trivia blindspot for me. And it was either watch “The Office” or finally memorize all the presidents’ names. Hahahahahaha.

So my husband and I started watching “The Office” Season 1, and we love it. We even signed up to play a Geeks Who Drink Office-themed specialty game later this month.

But we’re only through Season 4 at this point, and I now realize we are WOEFULLY unprepared to play this quiz. But, hey, we’ll have a great time while we get some drinks and food, get a couple right and applaud the winners. And that’s what trivia night is all about, right? 

(Next year, though, watch out!)

For my own practice (and to prepare to write an Office trivia book for my nephew one day), here’s some decidedly novice-level trivia from Season 1 of “The Office.” 

Questions:

  1. Who does Michael put in charge of choosing the office’s new health care plan?
  2. What is Pam’s fiancé’s name?
  3. The staff has to undergo the Diversity Day lecture because of Michael’s inappropriate imitation of what comedian?
  4. Who are the three members of Dunder Mifflin’s accounting department?
  5. What item of Dwight’s did Jim mold into jello as a prank?
  6. When corporate gives him $1,000 as a prize for his top salesman, what does Michael do with the money instead?
  7. What sport do the office workers play against the warehouse workers?
  8. Michael organizes a birthday party for which worker as a morale-booster, even though her birthday is still a month away?
  9. What future Oscar-nominee played Katy, the attractive purse saleswoman who Jim dates?
  10. Michael promises a big surprise to make up for the crappy health care plan, but he comes up empty. Though he does first bring what treat to the office for everyone?

Answers up after the super-cringe and super-funny Diversity Day forehead cards scene. Can’t wait to watch Season 5!
