Best On TV: 6 Top The Office Episodes Handpicked By IMDb Users

The holidays can be a stressful time with all the hustle and bustle and work deadlines. Which makes it the perfect time to immerse yourself in your favorite escapist show.

For millions of people, The Office remains that safe harbor that helps you get away from it all with its sometimes bizarre, but always hilarious jokes and situations that are impossible not to laugh at.

Weird to escape the stresses of work into a workplace sitcom, right? Well, it helps.

If this year your pre-holiday workload is too heavy and deadlines are especially demanding, there is always the option of rewatching only the best episodes of The Office. But there are 201 of them, which are the best, you might ask? Well, you gotta trust other fans.

Here are six The Office episodes ranked top by the IMDb users.

6. S6E5 Niagara: Part 2

IMDb Rating: 9.4/10

Of course, before you watch this episode, you'll have to first revisit Niagara: Part 1, which is ranked tenth by IMDb users. But these are well worth your time as they show the wedding of Jim and Pam. The wedding with the weird viral dance, Andy's embarrassing injury and Kevin's Kleenex shoes, which are obviously a HUGE conversation piece.

5. S9E22&23 A.A.R.M.

IMDb Rating: 9.4/10

This episode has Darryl's farewell dance, what other reason would a fan want to watch it again? Ok, ok, there's also Dwight getting ready to ask Angela to marry him and a DVD with the highlights of Jim and Pam's relationship. This is hands down the best episode of Season 9.

4. S4E13 Dinner Party

IMDb Rating: 9.4/10

In this episode, we learn how many vasectomies Michael has had and watch in horror as the dinner party at his and Jan's house turns into a total disaster. The cast reportedly couldn't keep a straight face while filming this episode. Well, who would blame them?

3. S5E14&15 Stress Relief

IMDb Rating: 9.7/10

The cold opening of this two-part episode alone is pure comedy gold and the best few minutes on television. But it only gets better. Dwight's fire drill, which gives Stanley a heart attack, leads to a hysterical CPR training session and a comedic roast of Michael. Oh, and there's a Jack Black movie where he falls in love with a grandma.

This is the most watched episode in the history of The Office, and we certainly know why.

2. S7E22 Goodbye, Michael

IMDb Rating: 9.8/10

It seems hard to top Stress Relief, but the nostalgic vibe of the episode that featured Michael's last day at the office did just that. It is always hard to say goodbye. This one had us in tears.

1. S9E24&25 Finale

IMDb Rating: 9.8/10

In fact, there are two tear-jerking episodes that earned the top score from IMDb users. In the first, we say goodbye to Michael, and in the second, we say goodbye to all the beloved Dunder Mifflin employees who gather for Dwight and Angela's wedding. What a beautiful send-off it was!
