You Can Now Bid On Props From ‘The Office’ If You’re Into That Sort Of Thing

Sometimes after work, I’ll sit down in my living room with a steaming plate of super depressing pasta or frozen pizza staring up at me from my coffee table, and I’ll find myself unable to choose what I want to be watching while I eat.

This is a dilemma we’ve all been through before, and it can be difficult to sift through the all of the garbage that Netflix, HBO, Hulu, and other streaming services have to offer. It’s during difficult times like this that we turn to shows like The Office.

I’m as big an Office fan as anyone, but it feels like in the past couple of months the debate over whether or not it’s a good show has become hackneyed. The memes and tweets about how Jim is a shitty employee and Michael is actually a misogynist were funny the first time around, but there are now actually people in this world who think that The Office is some morally reprehensible show. It’s just annoying how people turn on things nowadays.

You get clickbait-y articles every week about how this show could never be made in todays climate, rumors of an Office reboot, Office pop-up bars, and “Which Character from The Office Are You?” quizzes.

It’s never enough anymore for us to just say, “You know what? The Office was a great show. Let’s just leave it at that.” The internet does this with every fucking thing we love. It has to get its disgusting claws into everything and beat the tar out of an already dead horse for pageviews and ad revenue.

And now we’ve got this shit. Just another cash grab from some greedy online auction company preying on people’s nostalgia for the early-2000s. I have no idea why you would ever want to buy any of this stuff, but you can now bid on totally useless shit that some actors once used as props.

Last weekend, ScreenBid launched a massive online auction selling off props from around the Office set, including the giant Dunder-Mifflin sign itself. And, If you’ve ever wanted to defend your own office from angry ex-boyfriends, now’s your chance to score a pair of Dwight Schrute’s nunchucks.

I mean you can buy some really weird shit. Like stuff that you could just go to Office Depot and buy for three or four times less than this website is asking.

I can’t lie – I did search for that television that Michael had mounted on the wall in “The Dinner Party,” but they didn’t have it. I don’t know why you’d want to spend 50 bucks on a basic calculator and stapler but if you’re interested, have at it. Sometimes the internet just really pisses me off. .
