For fans of The Office, not even nine seasons of the hit NBC sitcom is enough to fuel their passion. Desperation for more material can send them to interesting places: The original BBC version of The Office, the deleted scenes, and the bloopers. But there’s another option out there for more stories of the odd employees of Dunder Mifflin, an option that’s kind of like a mini-season that’s been hiding in plain sight. I speak, of course, of the webisodes.

Posted from 2006 to 2011 on NBC’s website, nine “webisodes” took interesting looks at some of the members of the ensemble cast. So instead of focusing on Michael, Jim, Dwight, and Pam, the webisodes had fun exploring the second-tier cast and their interactions. I thought it might be interesting to watch and review all nine episodes for you today. Let’s have some fun in Scran-ton!

The Accountants

When $3,000 goes missing from the company books, Angela, Kevin, and Oscar launch an investigation to find it. This webisode was not only the first and longest of them all, but it won a Daytime Emmy. And it’s not really that great. I mean, it’s passable, but the mini-episode format is awkward and the jokes few and far between. It’s also very noticeable that Pam, Michael, and Jim are nowhere to be seen during this whole-office investigation, which is a weird disconnect from the series.

Kevin Cooks Stuff in the Office

I guess this is more of a DVD short than a webisode, but I’m tossing it in here. In the space of five minutes, Kevin puts on a cooking show in which he takes junk food and makes other junk food. The best part was finding out that he is making beer in the cabinet by his desk to try to get around the rule of not bringing beer to work.

Kevin’s Loan

Kevin’s gambling problems were hinted at in the series, but this webisode makes the issue pretty clear. In order to pay off his bookie, Kevin tries to take out a bank loan for a business called “Malone’s Cones.” Tries. He’s a sweaty mess, and even roping in Daryl to help doesn’t make the situation better. It’s pretty amusing stuff, especially when we meet his bookie and he’s the most least-threatening guy in the world with a crappy car. Also: “Can I say I was an astronaut and sell the movie rights?”

The Outburst

Normally quiet (albeit opinionated) Oscar lets loose with a loud outburst on the phone in the office, and everyone wants to know what it was about. His co-workers try to pry the information out of him, which only serves to irk an annoyed Oscar even more. This one is pretty notable for including more of the cast (including Ed Helms) and giving Creed a bigger part of the storyline. It’s really funny with a lot of terrific lines as everyone goes crazy with curiosity.

Blackmail

Creed has to be my favorite secondary character from The Office for his bizarre statements and way of life, so I’m all for him getting his own webisode. In this one, he’s blatantly blackmailing various employees over silly things — and asking for a rather paltry amount of money. But it gives us a lot of great lines and Creed moments, so as far as I’m concerned, he can keep on blackmailing until the cows come home. “Did… did you just say the word ‘mumble?'”

Subtle Sexuality

Here’s a change-up in more ways than one. Kelly and Erin’s “girl group” decides to make a music video that enlists the help of Andy and Ryan. Half of the episode is getting the team together, the other half is the video itself. And while the song is horrific — auto-tuned to death and cheesy beyond belief — it’s also riotously funny and full of little mistakes like Erin falling off the desk. It’s a pretty good satire of this type of pop song, and everyone obviously had a lot of fun doing it.

The Mentor

Looking for a mentor in her career, Erin ends up under the wing of Angela. Angela tries to remake the rube in her own image, which is as deeply upsetting as you might imagine. Drama ensues as Angela and Kelly get in a tug-o-war with Erin, who desperately wants to please both. Good lines: “Creed, we can’t reimburse you for buying a monkey paw.” “Are we going to be BFFs or just Fs, because that would be effing awful.”

The 3rd Floor

Seeking fame outside of music, Kelly (and Erin) are drafted into helping Ryan make a horror movie filmed in the office. Cue a whole lot of jumping out at innocent people while holding knifes and axes and Meridith wearing an eye patch.. Then there’s a trailer for the fake movie. Hey, I was laughing. “A prop knife costs like 10 times more than a real knife, and we have lots of knives.” “You cannot sneak up on people wielding weapons anymore!”

The Podcast

Gabe starts up a (video) podcast in an attempt to rise up in esteem within Sabre. Now while I really do love me some Gabe, this episode kind of falls flat across the board. At least Kevin gets to be a sidekick for the show, a position which he excels. “I live in a tent with a woman made of old soup cans.”

The Girl Next Door

The final webisode heads back to Kelly and Erin’s band, Subtle Sexuality. After a documentary about their rise and fall from success, we get their next hit single, “The Girl Next Door.” It’s not quite as catchy as their first song, but there’s a lot of humorous moments as the two try to pull off a dorky pop tune.
