Even if the workplace comedy gold has been off the air since 2013, the die-hard fans, I mean, virtually every person on Earth, are still finding some of the most delightful Easter eggs hiding in plain sight.

This post is gonna be a lot like detective work, but in reverse. We’re gonna point you to something that was right in front of you, and you’re gonna go “aaahhhh!” before rewatching the entire episode again. From David Wallace *also* having a “world’s best boss” mug to Creed wearing a heckin’ tie, jacket, and sweatpants for one episode with no one noticing, these tiny gems and background jokes are what we live for.

Oh, and die-hard The Office fans, please treat this post as a quick test of whether you still qualify for the expert badge.

#32 Dwight’s Beet Farm (Season 6, Episode 19)

Dwight Schrute is the proud owner of his grandfather’s 60 acre working beet farm that he now runs with his cousin Mose. He constantly makes references to beets throughout the entire series, right up until the last episode. The irony is that beets are one of the worst tasting, and least popular, vegetables in the country.

So during their St. Patrick’s Day episode, while everyone is sitting at their desk’s working, the camera pans away to show a beet next to Dwight’s desk. He is growing it underneath a heating lamp.

Bob Vance wasn’t simply trying to market Vance Refrigeration to Dunder Mifflin employees — instead, perhaps he was constantly repeating his company name for the cameras filming the Dunder Mifflin documentary in hopes that if the footage ever aired it’d be free advertising. Genius.

#51 Robert California’s “Special” War Medal (Season 8, Episode 11)

If only we could have had Robert California a little longer. James Spader did such a fantastic job of joining the cast, and following Steve Carrel’s performance, that we would love to see him if they ever did a reboot.

That said, Robert presents Dwight with a medal that he says belonged to his grandfather, who received it for acts of courage. As charming and kind as it was, we later see that same medal framed on Gabe’s desk.
