The Office: 10 Hilarious Times Pam Beesley Broke Character

It would be impossible to talk about some of the best aspects of The Office without mentioning its rich cast of colorful characters, each of whom has managed to etch their names in the annals of comedy history.

Pam Beesley is definitely a standout mention in this regard, with her appearances in the show being legendary in their own right. It’s clear for all to see that Jenna Fischer really put in her all in this role. That being said, the laugh-out-loud nature of the show’s writing meant that even Fischer’s poker face was broken multiple times in the series.

10 Kevin Telling Her He’s Dull In The Most Hilarious Manner Possible

One of the funniest bloopers comes when Kevin talks to Pam about a particular situation and utters the word “dull”.

The manner in which Brian says this particular word is so incredibly hilarious that Jenna can’t help but break character and laugh… twice!

9 Oscar Giving The Best Delivery Of The Word “Unbelievable”

After both Pam and Angela get pregnant, Oscar becomes their best friend — of sorts — in a cold intro where both women are complaining about each other and Oscar supports both of them… until Andy comes and says something completely tasteless.

The response of all three characters is to say the word “unbelievable”, but it’s Oscar who truly steals the show with an improvised version of this line that both women can’t help but start laughing at.

8 Michael’s Botched Delivery Of The Line “Like A Freedom Tree”

During the episode when Pam gets pregnant and has to rush to the hospital, Michael decides to chime in time and time again with useless remarks to make the whole situation about him.

However, it’s the manner in which Steve Carell completely butchers the words “Freedom Tree” that truly make Jenna lose her marbles and laugh two more times as this scene is repeated.

7 Michael Pretending To Have Connection Problems… While He’s Barely Standing A Foot Or Two Away

Michael Scott is an oddball and the fact that he wants to make the most of his minutes left on his carrier even when he’s standing right next to Pam is a great example of this.

During this scene, Steve Carell pretends to have connection problems while standing right next to a seated Pam, causing Jenna Fischer to break character and let out a laugh.

6 Michael With An Accidental Flash

In fact, Steve Carell and Jenna Fischer have been in several iconic bloopers together, with one notable incident coming when Pam and Michael break off from the company to start the Michael Scott Paper Company.

During the initial stages of this company’s inception, Michael ends up unwittingly flashing Pam in his bathrobe. Jenna Fischer can’t hold her laughter in during this moment, and understandably so.

5 Michael With An Intentional Flash

It’s weird that Michael has flashed Pam not once, but twice! In fact, the first time he ever flashed Pam was downright intentional, as well!

This can be seen in the scene when Michael categorically tells Pam to come into his office, even though he was changing. During this scene, Steve Carell decides to take things up a notch and just stands majestically, causing Jenna to look at him for a bit too long before laughing herself out of the scene.

4 Laughing After The Longest Pause Ever

Another rather adorable moment between Michael and Pam is when the former asks his receptionist if they have any muffins, to which Pam takes a stupidly long time before giving a proper answer.

Steve Carell jumps on this opportunity and addresses this pause in a humorous fashion, causing Jenna to break character and elicit a hearty chuckle.

3 Jim Getting Jealous Of The Doctor Who’s Checking Pam

After Pam delivers her baby, the doctor comes in to check up on Pam — a check-up that ends up being too intimate for Jim, who can’t help but get jealous of the manner in which said doctor was touching his wife.

During this scene, there are multiple times when Jenna just starts laughing after looking at John’s reactions, which are certainly quite hilarious indeed. Also, fun fact — the doctor who was checking up on Pam is actually married to Jenna Fischer in real life!

2 The Scene When Michael Reveals He’s Dating Pam’s Mother

After Jim and Pam’s wedding, both people feel like there was absolutely no curveball that life could throw at them… that is, until Michael ends up getting intimate with Pam’s mom at the wedding and starts going steady with her.

The scene where this information is revealed to Pam is one of the most iconic scenes in The Office, and it’s only a given that such a hilarious scene would warrant at least one blooper. Jenna Fischer doesn’t disappoint in this regard, letting out a laugh when Michael whispers “hi” in the most hilarious manner imaginable.

1 Talking About The Flat Screen In The Famous Dinner Party Episode

Speaking of iconic scenes in The Office, it would be impossible to not mention the legendary Dinner Party episode. One particular scene in this episode shows Michael bragging about his new flat-screen TV, which is comically small.

Describing this TV becomes a challenge for pretty much everyone involved in the scene, with Steve Carell, Melora Hardin, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer unable to hold their laughter back as this small TV is shown in all its glory.
