"Office" Prank for April Fool's Day

Written by Jace | Friday, March 31, 2006 | 0 comments »

Astute viewers (or at least those that don't use TiVo to fast forward through the commercials) may have caught the fake PSAs that the gang from The Office shot for April Fool's Day, covering a number of topics ranging from office romances and bear attacks to the definition of average height.

My personal favorite of the bunch remains the dueling messages of the office romance PSA, delivered with deadpan accuracy by writer-actors B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling (who play star-crossed would-be lovers Ryan and Kelly), each of whom shares a contradictory feeling about the good/bad of an office crush.

NBC.com is hosting these and the other hilarious Office PSAs that are currently airing on the network, along with a plethora of online exclusive ones. Check out Ryan's admonition not to film yourself having sex or Jim's feelings about how good of a movie The Fugitive is.

Never has April Fool's Day been funnier. And for once, I found a (fake) commercial I would actually want to watch over and over again.
