13 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching The Office

11. Bob Vance's Fridge Cake

Bob Vance, Vance Refrigerations is one of the many great recurring characters of The Office. The partner of Phylis, he pops up every so often, always introducing himself with the name of his company tacked on afterwards.

The running gag pays off massively in the episode where he and Phylis get married, and they have not one but two wedding cakes. While one of them is your regular wedding cake, there's also a groom's cake, which is typically less traditional than a wedding cake. That's certainly the case here, because the groom's cake for Bob is actually a refrigerator.

It's a cute little sight gag, but it's even better as it's part of a one-two punch. Even easier to spot is that the topper of the wedding cake itself, next to the bride and groom, is yet another fridge.

There's also a long-running theory that he introduces himself with Vance Refrigerations for one very smart reason: he knows they're being filmed, and so is using it as free advertising should the documentary ever be shown.
