13 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching The Office

6. So Many Creed Details

The Office Creed Bratton
NBC

Creed Bratton is one of the weirdest Office characters - which is saying something - and there are a number of brilliant details and jokes built around the character.

For example, in Season 9 - and one of the last uses of the joke on the show - Clark says "There's no way you guys are making this magic with just your mouths," to which Creed mouths the iconic "That's what she said."

Another great Creedism is when the office runs out of printer ink in Dunder Mifflin Infinity, it's the same episode where Creed is attempting to pass himself off as much younger, with dyed black hair. The camera cuts to him as Michael announces they're out of ink, suggesting he dyed his hair using the ink.

Finally, there's the fact that, pinned to his cubicle, is a mugshot of himself. It's not the only great use of Creed's photo in the show, with a different moment revealing that he's banned from the Chinese restaurant for being a thief.
