The Office star, Jenna Fischer, details which two moments from filming the workplace sitcom made her break character and laugh the most. The Office follows lovable but incompetent branch manager, Michael Scott, as he runs a team of misfit salesmen, accountants, and customer service workers at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin. The series ran for nine seasons and even though it was a hit at the time, it's arguably more popular now as fans have been able to rewatch the series on streaming platforms.

In fact, Fischer and her costar Angela Kinsey have taken to rewatching the series as well. The two former The Office stars launched a podcast titled Office Ladies. Each week, they cover a different episode of The Office. They not only remind fans of what happened during the episode but share behind-the-scenes details. They discuss which moments were scripted, which were ad-libbed, how certain moments were filmed, and which scenes caused them to break character and burst out laughing.

During a recent episode of Office Ladies, she dished with co-host Kinsey on one particular scene that made her break not once, but twice. The scene took place during season 5, episode 9 which was titled "Frame Toby." The episode had laughs from the start. In the opening scene, Toby returned to the office which led to Michael Scott's infamous "NO, GOD, PLEASE, NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO!" moment. However, this isn't the moment that caused Fischer to break. Her character Pam and Jim were getting ready to move into Jim's childhood home which he bought from his parents. In the bedroom, they stumbled upon a hideous clown painting that was somehow stuck to the wall. Fischer recalled that every time John Krasinski tried to lift the painting she "could not stop laughing."

She chalked her uncontrollable laughter up to Krasinski's knack for physical comedy. Fischer revealed that it got to the point where they both were in "tears, tears, choking on our laughter." She confessed that this moment was the second hardest she had laughed on set. The painting was a joke that kept on giving in multiple ways. At the end of the scene, Fischer ad-libbed a line about the clown painting that caused them both to break yet again. Additionally, eagle-eyed fans can spot the clown painting return for the garage sale in season 7 episode 19. The clown painting may have not been a memorable joke for fans of The Office but it's a moment that Fischer clearly holds near to her heart. As for the moment that made her laugh most during filming, Fischer said it was the infamous "Dinner Party" episode when Jan broke Michael's TV.

"Dinner Party," has been renowned by fans as one of the most iconic episodes of the series. Michael and his former boss, and then-girlfriend Jan host an extremely uncomfortable dinner party with couples Pam and Jim, Angela and Andy and the uninvited Dwight and his former nanny. Krasinki also previously named "Dinner Party" as his hardest episode to film because of how hard he was laughing while shooting.

All in all, The Office has plenty of hilarious moments and Fischer's top moments are pretty on-point. For those who want to see if they can catch Fischer breaking, the series is currently available to stream on NBCUniversal's platform Peacock. The Office Ladies podcast rolls out new episodes every week and provides plenty more behind-the-scenes facts and discussion about the beloved series.
