9. The Dundies (Season 2, Episode 1)
“The Dundies are like a car wreck that you want to look away from but you have to stare at it because your boss is making you.”
After the rough patch that was the first season, The Office came into it’s own in a very big way with this episode. The episode centers on Michael preparing to host the annual office awards show, The Dundies. The episode is a party all the way through, and Carell puts on a damn performance with his failed MC routine. However, it’s Jenna Fischer who steals the show here, letting Pam loose for the first time.
