Description
- Michael has a Union Jack Flag on his desk that appears in various shots as homage to the original British series.
- The Office's address is 1725 Slough Road. Slough was the name of the town in which the original version of the show takes place. However, there is no Slough Road in Scranton.
- Steve Carell only watched a few minutes of the British version before permanently stopping such viewing because he did not want to copy Ricky Gervais' performance as the office manager; John Krasinski, on the other hand, was an avid viewer of the original.
- Four of the regularly appearing secondary characters have the same first name as the actress or actor that plays her or him: Angela (Angela Kinsey), Oscar (Oscar Nuñez), Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) and Creed (Creed Bratton).
- Poor Richards Pub, a bar the gang often refers to in the show, is an actual bar in South Scranton. It is actually in a bowling alley, South Side Lanes.
- Michael Scott has a "Certificate of Authenticity" on his wall that states he is the "Proud Owner of a Quality Seyko Timepiece."
