Dunder Mifflin Antics: Season 2 Part 1 Quiz

Answer: The Dundies

Michael Scott plays host and attempts (often in vain) to make the night interesting and amusing. He hands out a variety of unique awards, including "Whitest Sneakers" (which Pam wins) and "Hottest in the Office" (which Ryan wins).

Answer: Todd Packer

Packer is a crude and sexist man who tells several poorly-received jokes every time he visits the office. Michael also describes himself in this episode as the "king of forwards", meaning he likes to widely circulate amusing e-mails.

Answer: He joins in

Michael is handed the gold medal (a foil bottle lid) and gets very emotional during the ceremony. The staff held a range of office-related events while Michael was out for the day settling on his condo, with Dwight along for the ride.

Answer: Yes

Ryan, the temp, accidentally uses the wrong toaster oven setting and causes the small fire. Dwight and Michael take great pleasure in teasing him (given that they have spent much of the episode humbled by the fact that he knows much more about business given he is in business school).

Answer: Halloween

Michael is told he has to let someone go by the end of October; naturally he leaves this decision to the very last minute. He originally sets out to fire Creed, but Creed convinces him that Devon is the one who has to go.

Answer: Michael

Michael surprisingly overpowers Dwight in their fight, despite Dwight's apparently extensive martial arts training. Michael feels sorry for Dwight at the end of the episode, and decides he can be called "Assistant Regional Manager" (rather than "Assistant to the Regional Manager"), but that it needs to be kept between them and there are no official changes to anything!

Answer: False

It is actually written by Michael. We discover as they read the script out in the conference room that many of the characters bear a resemblance to the office staff, including the lead character, Michael Scarn.

Answer: Jim

Jim hosts a BBQ and invites all the office staff except Michael. He finds out about it because he is doing e-mail surveillance, and ends up crashing the party (and taking over the karaoke machine).

Answer: Buying an overpriced gift

Michael buys an iPod for Ryan, despite the rule of a $20 limit. This leads to a game of "Yankee Swap", meaning all the gifts for specific people get mixed up. Luckily Pam elects to keep her very personal present from Jim (a teapot with all sorts of personal jokes inside).

Answer: Michael jumps in the lake when he thinks the ship is sinking

Michael takes the office staff on a 'leadership' cruise, which is basically just an excuse to drink and party. It leads to several honest conversations, including Jim telling Michael about his feelings for Pam. He later realises that this was the worst person to tell.
