These compilations are usually horrible, but this was actually a nice edit, good job 👏🏼
are "these" compilations actually that common? And if they're always so horrible, why even watch them? Also, how can any collection of office clips be terrible? impossible
@@DannyBPlays Theres a lot of Office compilations "X character being Y for 10 minutes straight" kinda thing. And the uploader usually adds some unfunny subtitles to the clips
She’s in Beau is afraid . I didn’t even notice it was her she has a pretty substantial role there a lot of but parts she plays against Nathan lame as husband and wife
@@AR-ed3xw PARANOID much? 😃
@@AR-ed3xw So after it being up for over a year and then randomly going viral, I decided to make an alternative account and come make a fake comment for no reason, when it is already doing well? OK then lol Logic fail.
Great how she went from being the only straight character on the show to being the most unstable of them all.
she was always unstable; you just didn't know it right away.
Dealing with Michael, it's no suprirse
That’s the office effect
@@Missrere1984 A career-driven woman as hot as Jan must have REALLY low self-esteem and other deep mental issues if she thinks _Michael Scott_ is the best she can do.
because it was. all fake as all materialistic, corporate-climbing bs is.
1:20 I feel like this is an oddly wholesome moment for jan, she’s usually seen as cold but here she really seemed like she wanted to help pam, “there’s a million reasons not to do something” was a killer line and you can tell pam thought about it and those ideas were later enforced by Jim as well
I’m confused, what does she mean about “there’s a million reasons not to do something?”
@@bethany3242 Pam said she didn’t want to do that art intensive and Jan basically said with your logic you will never do anything you love, so you should do this thingie anyways
@@bethany3242She was making a lot of excuses why she couldn’t do the program, so Jan was encouraging her to pursue it anyway since there’ll always be excuses
@@bethany3242it means we always find reasons not to follow our dreams. It's a cliche, but in the show it was something Pam needed to hear to actually risk it and try something new.
What Jan actually wanted to say is "Why can't you be a strong-willed go-getter like ME?"
I'll bet she turned a minor role into a major part of the show. Great acting and writing.
You could have stopped at minor.
@@Kragithlmfaoooo
@@Kragith "you took me by the hand...made me a man !"
@@Kragithmine her? I barely knew her
@@Kragithmade me a mannnnnnn
"I feel uncomfortable wearing the dress...." To this day still makes me laugh out load when I hear it..... The delivery... flawless......
That's a very dark fantasy coming from Jan hahaha
She´s got Charlize Theron vibe
Yup.....
@Andrej Csuka
"She´s got Charlize Theron vibe"
==============================
Yeaaaahhh... I couldn't help but wonder why her eyes looked familiar.
Similar smile. Hauntingly beautiful
To each their own
She’s beautiful but terrifying lol
"So this is ass turd?", "Astrid". Never gets old
That line needs more appreciation.
I think the joke is calling it ‘Astard’ (bastard without the B) because it was fatherless.
Underrated joke.
Now that is funny if it's layers to the joke. Didn't think of the bastard aspect @@opg1987
Melora Hardin is a good actress. In 'The office' she is a psychopathic cougar with disastrous relationships. In reality, she is a happily married women with two kids.
An actor… acting?? Colour me shocked!
Hi Melora. It’s ok we don’t think you’re really like that.
Actor with an Adam's Apple ! 😮 take another look.
@@aps-pictures9335 man pretending to be female - again.
@@Kat.Evangeline No she's not, she's given birth lol. Also, some women have laryngeal prominence, that doesn't mean they're men.
If we're going off appearances and that person in your profile picture is you, I'm suspicious that YOU may be a man, because you have such a large nose and square jaw.
The older I get, the more I think, "Wow, there really are a lot of Jans in the real world."
Instead of Karen, it should be JAN.
Just like there are a lot of Roys in the world.
@@mechanomics2649you can't really compare roy with jan . The level of insanity is way different
need me one
@@mechanomics2649 Michaels too!
Hands down the best actress in the entire series. She had more range than any of the cast members.
True. Her business straight-faced straight-man to Michael Scott at the beginning, and her own unhinged quirkiness toward the end, she nailed all angles of that character.
Agreed 100%
Yep she’s amazing
It’s so crazy to see her as Jan and then see her as Trudy. Amazing range!
My favorite: “The downside? I date Michael Scott publicly and collapse into myself like a dying star.” 😂
That’s some Taylor swift lyric level
She sure did.
@@jordanjoestar-turniptruck Yes, she went Total Black Hole. But even though the crazy stayed with her, good ole Jan landed on her feet. Another fave part is when they later in the series go on a sales call and Pam, in the grip of terror, recognizes Jan’s Warhol-type portrait and candles in the client’s office, but TOO LATE-suddenly there’s the revamped Jan standing and staring and grinning like a velociraptor in the doorway! 🤣
Absolutely brilliant performance...the fact that neither she nor Steve ever won an Emmy shows you what BS the Emmys are
Yup. Can't picture anyone else playing her. She was perfect
entitled twat
All those prizes are just excuses for the richest to have place to show up before camera so mob can feel like they watching something significant.
Most of greatests actors don`t even want to show up there because why would anybody with sane mind participate in something that is decided by those who want to be before camera to feel important.
Okay Seth.
Or maybe...there were other great performances out there that deserved it more lol. Everyone says this about their favorite characters in their favorite shows
"Jan and I have a safe word for when things go too far....although last time she preteneded she didn't hear me". Jan was something else! hahaha. The actress played this role flawlessly!
I will tell you what she is, she is crazy
interesting portrayal of a man like Michael, who routinely objectifies women and makes them uncomfortable earlier in the show (comments about Pam behind her back in the first season, making fun of poor Phyllis when she got flashed, etc) having to deal with a woman who takes it much further than he does. Michael is a jerk but he respects consent. Jan emotionally and sexually abuses him, ignores his boundaries, and commits borderline sexual assault by ignoring the safe word. Michael literally having to say "no means no" to her in the bathroom, etc. Michael doesn't show it until the conference with the girls, when he tears up and asks what he should do about Jan, but he's pretty clearly pretty torn up about this situation and emotionally stuck in Jan's hold. People are less concerned about him because he's a man, but if the genders were switched I think someone would have called the cops much earlier on. I think that's the point though, and the show did a good job displaying male victimhood. Michael being offered support from the same women in the office who he used to harass and humiliate is also a beautiful way to depict their forgiveness. His failure to break away from Jan the first time is also a realistic depiction of how hard it is for victims to establish genuine boundaries with their abusers. Overall the office was ahead of its time here. The stereotype that men can't be emotionally or physically violated or held under a woman's control is harmful, untrue, and keeps victims from being seen and offered support.
This is a great comment, but I feel you slightly miss on the nuance of just gender swapping. The reality is Michael is a victim of the patriarchy here in an ironic turn on his character, as you mention all the horrid things he says and does to the woman in his workplace (whom he is notably also the boss of) are a result of the collective acceptance of this side of the patriarchy; the sexist jokes, the victim blaming (Phyllis flashing), the culture around how he sets these woman up for success versus the men in the office. He absolutely reaps what he sows here, but where I disagree is that the show is being progressive in this. Instead of looking at this tragic irony and developing this storyline in a way that highlights how he is indeed a victim of the same culture he uses to harass his 'friends', it uses this irony as the punchline, as if it's funny that the silly little man is getting his comeuppance as opposed to acknowledging that both his behaviours and the behaviours he experiences as a victim are one and the same. Gender swapping misses because it's an important part of Michael's character to be misogynistic, to treat these woman without even a shred of respect and the writers are so so close to putting two and two together but they fumble this by perpetuating this concept that it is simply humorous. Michael continues to be a terrible man, there continue to be no real consequences for his behaviour and the show just moves on. This is where the US show failed and the UK succeeded, it's sense of satire was lost, the line was blurred too thin between a caricature of a person we all know, and a relatable person we can sympathise with.
@@benjaamin I've thought about it and your perspective actually better explains why the whole Jan-Michael saga rubbed me so wrong. I'd have to agree that the potential was there but (and I didn't mention this originally) I always found it frustrating how michael and Pam end up good friends by the end of the show, even though he never explicitly changes his ways or apologizes; he just ceases to say sexual things to her directly and she gets sassier. Now I'm curious about the UK show lol because I'd love to see a situation like this in TV handled well by the writers.
@@charlottefarrell9095 This wouldnt happen in the UK show mostly because it never had to deal with continuing the series for as long as the US did. For the US Office, the original formula worked, and changing the characters would have been a massive risk to what they had built between the audience and these characters. They wrote Michael into a corner after he somehow doesn't fumble Holly, and they just gave up on him (while also failing to fill his void, but thats something else entirely) The US office was never really meant to deal with issues like this, so I slide it a minor pass for being as close to progressive as you could get in a light-hearted early 2000s sitcom.
In the UK Office, there is never any doubt that Michael's equivalent character - David Brent - is just a spiteful, inappropriate tosser. It keeps up with the 'this is a documentary' plotpoint much more consistently rather than just using it when Jim feels like making a funny reaction; so you feel less fly on the wall and the dynamics of the characters are more grounded in reality. In-show, everyone is aware of how awful he actually is, and you almost get a sense of pity from them for David. His actions actually have social consequences and the line is only drawn by the dynamic of him being the manager - something that hits (or at least at the time it did) much closer to home in my opinion than Michaels antics.
If David were to be significantly wronged like Michael was, I'd wager it goes one of two ways - either the rest of the characters are sympathetic to him, owing up the aforementioned pity they have on his character, or possibly more grimly it would be used against him in the dynamics of the office which, knowing British/lad/patriarchal culture, would fit just as seamlessly. Sure the butt of the joke still be that a man was taken advantage of, but because of this 'documentuary' style lens how much of this is also a crituque of the way we handle these things in our owns lives is called into question. It could use it's groundedness to say "yeah you're laughing, but if this happened in your office would you really expect anything different".
Part of that is also the much drier and bleaker sense of British comedy I suppose too.
I love this comment and the discussion it sparked. Best of youtube.
There are always a million reasons to not do something.
Actually good advice, in most circumstances
It really is!
This is gonna enable someone to do something crazy tho 🤣🤣
In most, lol
She could switch from this stunning and seductive ice-cold corporate woman, to a sad and lonely old maid in a second.
MOST men don't want to be with ambitious, ruthless, career-driven women. That's why Jan had such a hard time dating someone other than Michael. She scared other men off. Michael was fine with her bossing him around and emasculating him, as long as he occasionally got to have sex with her.
Woman moment
You see an old maid? Where do you hang out, Miss America pageant selector?
@@alanhumid6938shutup
Well put! Confident/successful…then next second - vulnerable loser haha
"I can't stay on top of you 24/7" You just know he was dying to say "that's what she said".....but he held his tongue for once.
Jan dancing with Jim’s arm is more cringe than Toby caressing Pam’s thigh😂
Yes, that "house party" episode was nightmare fuel! One of my favorites.
Nah. Bad take.
Nothing is more cringe than Toby
@@spicychickpea3477 Oh I think Gabe is worse than Toby, can’t stand Gabe he goes beyond Toby.
Jan’s slow decent into insanity is the one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen 😭
They needed to add a couple of Dwight/Jan interactions: Dwight at breakfast trying to take Michael’s job and knowing EXACTLY what stores would perk her up; And then in the final season when Dwight offers Clark as a boy toy sweetener to the business deal. BOTH TIMES, Dwight understood her through and through.
Her descent was after meeting Michael and getting involved with him.

No...He just happened to be the guy at that stage in her life.
Well he didn't actually do anything wrong in that relationship at all. Which is impressive for Michael.
one of the most underrated characters in the whole show
Patrice O'Neal's face while reacting to Jan is so damn funny
RIP to one of the best
RIP to Patrice one of the funniest comedians of all time
The most beautiful and charismatic woman on this show.
She’s drop dead gorgeous
I feel like Jan would've repressed her cruel nature as humanly as possible and would've lived an okay life if not for Michael.
Damn were they toxic for each other.
It's the physical part of these types of relationships which most toxic couples enjoy.
Jan clearly had a void in her life, before Micheal.
@@shivamsingh-lb1mg Right, Jan had just gotten a divorce. In that same episode, Jan starts feeling attracted to Michael because of how well he closed the sale with their client.
Jan never went to see a shrink. WTF??
It’s possible. Though there were a lot of issues in her life that Michael wasn’t to be blamed for. She had a messy divorce, probably blamed herself for it, and identity theft that drove her to seek therapy. Unfortunately she chose a shitty therapist who encouraged her to self destruct and seek a relationship with Michael.
Oh definitely. Michael ruined her life.
I gotta say, near the end of her spotlight on the show, just when Michael visits her at her new job, I learned to fully appreciate her more. Not just Jan but the actress, who is not only absolutely stunning but also what an actress, she took that role and gave it shape, strength, power. Jan was a great example of a boss lady for me, when she met the ladies at Scranton she was shocked to see the many disparities there, and I love how the show turns those moments into a funny issue because it usually feels that way as a woman in the workforce, but Jan gave those moments the seriousness and drama they needed.
She was a force to be reckoned with, so many layers to her storyline, its just a perfect character.
Lol
"i feel uncomfortable wearing the dress" lmao
Jan might be my favorite recurring character. She’s like a modern-day Cersei Lannister.
Cunning, driven, ruthless… and slowly descending into madness.
Jan had Hunter, Cersei had Lancel. Both enjoy their wine and their submissive simps, but love power most of all. And they make terrifying mothers.
Melora Hardin even looks like Lena Headey.
I love how Michael looks at the camera after Jan says she can't stay on top of him 24/7. Perfect 'that's what she said' moment 😂
Jan was fabulous . Wonderful acting .
I like how Jan seemed to be normal before getting involved with Michael. Then she became absolutely crazy
Yeah, her character started out matching that Corporate role perfectly and the conflict between the two with his style versus her professionalism was great. The only other person to capture that somewhat was Charles. However, Jan went downhill fast!
2:06 seeing Jan actually smile for the first time in the series was a real treat.
It was a textbook sociopathic smile it was intentional and terrific acting on Melora's part
She nailed that character. Self hating,wants more but is totally bogged out. but very sexy at all times. Waiting to be rescued by prince charming. Her and Correll worked great together.
I love how Ryan and Jan are the only sane characters in the beginning of the show
When Jim tries to breathe fresh air while they’re in Jan’s candle dungeon is hilarious!!
That dinner party turned mad episode, she made it .
Great job! Jan is definitely one of my favorite characters.
I think they couldve made a really cute couple espescially after the scene of sitting on the train together but...
What the writers did instead was infinitely funnier for sure.
8:13 Stanley face is priceless 😂😂😂
1:39 the way she shakes her head LMFAO
Its funny because its true
Having Jan as a mom sounds so scary 😨 😳 😂
if this were nowadays and if she had a boy, she would be saying its a girl and dressing him in dresses or some bs.
@@RearAdmiralTootTootSaying a bunch of nonsense just to complain about something💀
How could i ever fill your shoeeeeeeeuuuuuus?
My mom was like this x10 lol
She's gorgeous.
Jan definitely didn't kidnap a child so she could sell the parents her candles.
Eeek what a well portrayed villain! At the end where she's already competing with her young daugher singing the song in front of Pam. Wild that these prople truly exist. Hope the actress is doing projects she loves today.
My crazy aunt is a Jan type person, so yeah...people like this exist. Tbh i gave 2 aunts like this.
Melora Hardin is a great actress. She’s very beautiful to boot..
now there is a comment i can agree with. no exaggerations.
thank you.
Jan is like an evil puppeteer while Pam looks like a floppy puppet 😂
It’s a crazy world we live in
Jan is one of the most attractive and talented women ever on sitcoms. Name another.
Jane Krakowski / 30 Rock
what? wow.
i don't even have to name another.
that is your opinion, though.
Agree - photo finish with Julia Louis Dreyfus
13
Rashida Jones, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Jennifer Anniston, Leah Remini, Sofia Vergara, Courtney Cox, Suzanne Somers, Erin Gray...
The chili scene was so perfect by all 3 actors and scene writers. Wish they would have developed that side of him more.
Like Cricket reconnecting with the Gang in Its Always Sunny, Jan made a bad choice to hook up with Michael.
Michael definitely broke her mental state. She was vulnerable after her divorce and he made things worse.
Yeah Jan took advantaged of Michael too as well as hunter, but if she had time to be on her own with proper help she would’ve been stable enough to stay at the company.
He really did destroy her reality 😂
Disagree she admitted she knew what she was doing the whole time and kept doing it
Now with changed gender Jan would be executed in the comments for her behaviour. She turned Michael into her pet , abused him to feel better and leechedc of his income. Interesting how ignorant some people get when it's a woman doing this.
It doesnt make her a good person also she always was unstable and neurotic, she just hid it behind proffessional façade.
Nah she admitted after the Jamaica holiday that she had a tendency to giving in to her bad habits, her divorce was her on the edge.
When she got into a relationship with Michael she knowingly went into a bad relationship with no intention to help herself or him. Then when David fired her, he points out that she’s been spiralling and making a lot of bad decisions for a while. She was self destructive and used Michael for her own gratification and by the sound of it was quite abusive to him.
He was not entirely innocent as he was attracted to her and desperately wanted a family , but she was controlling him and taking his money for her own gain. She was controlling that relationship and eventually destroyed it. Which was the best thing for both of them.
"Don't sell your implants, please."
She’s such a well written mess 😭
Watching Jan when I was like 16 made me realize I'm most attracted to older women
Jan was amazing. Loved her performances
Jan is the perfect definition of “how tf did he get w/ her?”
She’s crazy and he’s desperate to have a family.
Jan: Now you're REALLY not allowed in this session, alright?
Michael: Well, I am their boss--so
Jan: I am YOUR boss.
Damn. Savage. 😂😂😂
Great compilation!!!!!! Thank you for posting!
Thank you for enjoying it, kind human!
The more i watch the office the more i think jan is one of the best characters
Micheal broke her; It’s only fitting that she breaks him back.
Michael definitely manifested her like crazyyy
My personal theory? Jan actually does have a sister in Scottsdale: Amy Levinson Buozaglo owns a restaurant there with her husband Sami - and Jan's frequent visits are essentially therapeutic because, neurotic as she may be, after a few days around that feline-speaking psychopath and her gangster husband, she always comes away feeling downright level-headed by comparison.
Hahahahahaha she probably go ballistic whenever someone would rate her food badly.
That lady looks like Katherine Ryan like 100%
That speech about unionizing pretty much sums up how evil she is.
How is she evil? Unions are just the legal mob. They never help and make everything worse.
Jan is one of the most relatable characters in the show. Anyone who hasn't had as diverse a range of life experiences as her may not have truly experienced the full spectrum of life. I mean who hasn't compromised on their SMV, got unjustly fired, let themselves go, engaged in over compensatory fetishes, had mid/thirties-life crisis, gotten tats/boob job, and yet managed to redeem themselves in circumstances like being there with Michael on the train tracks. I bet there are more Jan's in the real world than there are Pam's or even Angela's. To me Jan's the last remnant of the first season, when all the other character got heavily caricaturized, Jan's the only one that maintained a grounded portrayal of a common woman.
Interesting take. Interested to know, Are you a woman?
@@Melinamiu007I’m wondering that too since they said shes a portrayal of the common
*woman
If that is the common woman i dont want no common woman in my life...
Especially having met one that Holly reminds me off.
Jan just reminds me of my crazy aunt.
Minus the redemption part. Also Michael was out of her league. Hes funny, friendly, full of life. Shes just an office drone at the end of her prime and her lifes "achievement" is upper middle management. It's no wonder she falls into a depression the way she does, and even worse thinking being with michael is her in any way settling. That other girl he gets with later that he vibes with is more on his level. The two are about equally attractive physically but holly stayed vibrant. That story arc where they forced her to leave and instantly find another dude then come back and instantly get back with michael was super trashy tho, lazy writing.
5:52 best episode ever.
Before I even got to that part of the video I knew which episode you were referring to. The writing and acting is gold ⭐️
My favourite episode.
The second most uncomfortable episode after Scott’s Tots, just that feeling of being in the middle of a relationship going nuclear. Being one of the guests at a party that no one wants to be at is so uncomfortable.
"So, this is Assturd!" 😂
That was very well cut. 👍
But i want a long version. Jen was gold. 😀
This is amazing. It’s Christmas Day. What a gift
omg she's so gorgeous
Great editing!
Thankyou!
Jan literally begging Michael to come over and bang is a pretty strong sign that he's packing
Jan is every employee and boyfriend/husband's nightmare I think.
She definitely does the lines. And again with that song at the dinner party. Freakin love it
Jan was BRILLIANT the whole time. Such a wacked role, went through so many phases, always intense and believable. I loved her when she was mean and cold as hell, and when she kept reappearing in different situations in the later seasons. The Producers knew they had a goldmine with this actress.
These scenes are some of the funniest scenes ive ever seen in anything ever hilarious
Jan was smoking hot.....coming from a 54yr old straight woman
video is well put together!
The ending is killing me lmaoooo such a villain 🤣
That look of horror on Pam’s face when she realizes the truth! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love to start the day with a steaming bowl of Jan.
When Jan called her neighbor's dog a " mutt", I freaking died! 😂
I love Jane's role. How they descarachterized her it's outrageous. Jane went from bossy and ironically funny to just crazy.
Pam playing Hunter's CD and everyone except Michael realising Hunter was singing about Jan taking his virginity is one of my favourite moments in the show ever 😂😂
8:17 still one of my fav scene in this show. Honestly I really thought they were gonna be together to the rest of the show. Idk why they decide to make the relationship toxic too much after and break them apart. Their chemistry was very good and they were super funny together. The toxic part came later in season 4 why they decided to end this rs I don’t get it
From the beginning of their relationship jan was embarrassed of michael, which is never good for a relationship, and then it started getting toxic immediately, like in season 3. It was never gonna work out unfortunately
Happy ending is too boring
Funny how it turns to a horror show moment when they see the table with the candles and a picture of ass-turd, and they know whose domain they have entered.
Melora Hardin also played the role of Trudy Monk. When an actor makes you want to smack the TV they're doing a great job, Think Janice Soprano who's also been a judge on Law & Order.
Also Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones and people go with Skylar White on Breaking Bad (although I think her sister Marie is a lot worse always played victim)
The actress is so beautiful.
My fave ❤
I appreciate attention to detail in the choice of font “Serenity by Jan”
Jan was by far the hottest woman on the show.
that's your opinion, but i think Amy Adams, Ellie Kemper, and Jenna Fischer are hotter...in my own worthless opinion
@@user-vo9hf9yl8l Amy Adams > Jan > Pam > Ellie Kemper
Woah, woah, Rashida Jones is #1.
Great voice.
Yes, she was very good in this show. I did not realize until I saw this video.
I think Michael straight-up drove her to ins-jan-ity! xD
Nah she was already on the edge from her marriage, her relationship with Michael was her giving in and letting go of any self control.
boooooooo
She went from being a successful executive living in New York to a crazy candle lady after less than a year of dating Michael Scott It´s honestly kinda impressive how Michael really was the root of her problems.
He broke up with her and she went right back to the top working in a hospital and then the white pages.
Jan: I cannot stay on top of you 24/7.
Was Michael about to make a "That's What she said" joke?? :P
Actually my original edit had a cut away to Jan herself reluctantly saying "That's what she said", to herself, and then she gives a begrudging sigh after she did so as if to admit she was at that level. But the extended version had to be cut down.
so good
8:33 Don't sell your implants please 😂😂😂
Jan is not to be truffled with! 😂😂😂
I love the episode ‘Dinner Party’. My favorite.
Union busting ghoul
lol I know right?
