In the season three episode "The Merger," Michael plays a videotape of a rap music video he created with Dwight called "Lazy Scranton," which is very obviously a send-up of The Lonely Island's iconic Saturday Night Live song "Lazy Sunday."

But what you probably didn't know is that the seeds for Michael's video were actually sewn three episodes earlier in "Initiation," as while Michael and Kelly are lining up for pretzels, she can briefly be overheard saying, "...they were rapping about was cupcakes and The Chronicles of Narnia."

In retrospect, Kelly is clearly talking about the lyrics to Lazy Sunday, and it appears that Michael was actually paying far more attention to what she was saying than he initially seemed to be.
