The Office, NBC comedy series launched in 2005, yielded several hilarious and embarrassing scenes throughout its 9 seasons. Many of them are remembered and celebrated even today by fans, who never get tired of reliving the comic moments of the production. But it wasn’t just viewers who roared with laughter at the unusual situations seen in the series.

In an interview with Wired, John Krasinski, who was part of the cast of The Office as the character Jim Halpert, revealed that, among the several scenes that made him laugh, one of them left him completely bewildered.. It happened during Season 6’s Christmas episode, called “Secret Santa”, when Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) sits on Michael’s (Steve Carell) lap.
Watch:
“The hardest time in my life is the Christmas episode where Steve pretends to be Santa Claus and asks Brian Baumgartner, who plays Kevin, to sit on his lap. would you like to have this for Christmas, little boy?’ he loses all the air in his body when Brian sits on him. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life,” said the actor.
He continued: “and if you’re a fan of the series, you know that they [produção] they used to film Jim’s reactions, and I looked at the camera guy and said, ‘don’t even try. I will not be here’. And then every time he looked for me, it was an empty room, I wasn’t there. I told him, ‘I won’t be here. I’m not a professional, and I’ll be on the floor laughing my head off.”

The scene in question, by the way, is remembered by the cast of The Office (and by the fans) as one of the sequences in which most of the actors did not contain themselves. If you look closely, during the cut, several stars “break” their characters and start laughing. Brian Baumgartner and Steve Carell, including, almost spoiled the scene for not being able to hide the laughter.
Is this the funniest scene in The Office history, or are there even more hilarious sequels?
