Gabe cracks me up. “I’ll tell you her last name tomorrow, because she’s going to be screaming it tonight.” “She’s going to be screaming her own last name?”

I went to school with a girl who's last name was the same as my first name.
We never did anything, but if we had then technically it couod be possible for her to yell her own name. If I were that good in bed of course.
I did it once as a joke with my spouse after we had been cracking up about it and joking about it for some time. It… killed the mood pretty quick because we just died laughing. To be fair it’s not that sexy of a last name to begin with. Lesson learned for you :)
If you like Gabe then you should watch Silicon Valley.
He basically plays the same characters as Gabe but a little darker and crazier but just as pathetic
https://youtube.com/watch?v=bSm8TlobrjI&feature=shares
Or my personal favorite
"Sorry if I scared you. I know I have some ghost like features. My uncle used to say you looked like someone starved a virgin to death"
I think it’s just from the idea of a guy having sex with a girl is screaming HIS name. The fact that Gabe said the woman was going to be screaming her own last name is the ridiculousness of the joke and to me makes it even more funny ha.
I did some digging and there is a shitty old pickup line that goes like “give me your name so i know what to scream tonight” and Gabe got it all confused which to me makes it even more more funny loll
Ok so I finally did some digging and the real saying goes something like “give me your name so i know what to scream tonight”.
I think it’s safe to say Gabe’s version is a lot better than this shit
The pick-up line is usually something like "Whats your name? I need to know what I'll be screaming tonight" Or "My name is ____, remember it cause you'll be screaming it all night".
It means that the sex will be so good that they'll me scream moaning the other persons name.
Gabe saying she's going to scream her own name during sex doesn't make sense, especially not her own *last* name lol. I always thought it implied that Gabe had never had sex but I could be wrong and instead hes just bad at comebacks and pick-up lines.
I know I'm three days late but I thought I'd comment anyway in case someone from the future is also curious.
Went from yelling all the time around people & punching holes in the wall to being able to walk away to a secluded area, tell himself why he was upset, then yell to get out the frustration.
He also walked away from a potential fight with kids after he tried to calmly get them to stop throwing things at Pam. Maybe(probably) it was him being a wimp, but still, it's hard to imagine someone with anger issues just walking away from some kids acting that way. (I know it's just a show but there are too many people in RL ready to physically "teach" kids a lesson).
Edit for link : https://youtu.be/e-rPGxd9DSQ
Blasphemy. Jared is worlds better than Gabe.
Jared would never use his position of power to ask out a subordinate. And he'd certainly never hold a grudge against a coworker for liking the same girl.
Also Jared fucks.
He has a certain vibe he carries thru most of his roles, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they are the exact same characters. I actually think they were pretty different. Love them both.
Saw him do a Q&A after a film he did at SXSW last year. He is one of the funniest people live! Dudes characters are just parts of who he really is and I absolutely love it.
Nah HR (especially a one-person shop) is focused on stuff like hiring, benefits administration, payroll, reimbursement, compliance with labor laws and technical corporate policies, that kind of thing. In their org chart/reporting structure they go directly with the central corporate office that probably also has specialists in each area (payroll, purchasing, etc.) who split their time between all of the branches, complementing the branch HR people who are focused on one branch but are "generalists" in terms of what they do.
Corporate liaison is a job that probably only exists for a short time after a corporate takeover. It's basically installing a babysitter to keep the old company's supervisors in line with the new company's priorities and ways of doing things while trying to preserve the existing organizational structure/personnel as much as possible. But with Michael/the entire Scranton branch, "babysitter" is a permanent need lol.
Well not permanent.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays they need him in Tallahassee and Tuesdays and Thursdays he's in Scranton.
No better way of facing his fear of flying.
But that's the thing I still don't get. Jo respects Michael. He stood up for his employees and the branch's sales/income are the best in the entire company. He doesn't need a babysitter, because everything is working like a well oiled machine.
Now if you wanna say Gabe is there to understand the "secret sauce" so to speak, fine, but even then why not fly Michael and a few department managers out to corporate and speak to all the branch manager/C-Suite people about said sauce. Round trip airfare (adjusted for Inflation for 2011) was about $500 from Scranton to Tallahassee. $4,000 ($500 x 4 employees + $1,500 for everyone's lodging + $500 for per diem) is significantly cheaper in the long haul due to the cost of living in Tallahassee being significantly higher in Scranton (gotta factor salary, bonus' and raises).
I mean there are a million redundant positions in corporate America. But The Office is also a TV show, I wouldn't look so closely at the intricacies of their corporate staffing.
Sabre acquired Dunder Mifflin but still operates it as DM. Gabe is there to implement things that come from corporate because someone like Michael or Andy still works for Dunder Mifflin which then sells Sabre products is how I understood it.
It's all in their informative song, yeahheaheah Dunder Mifflin is a part of Sabre!
Essentially yeah. He's more or less Sabre's HR while Toby is Dunder-Mifflin's HR.
My headcanon is that Toby & Gabe's redundant jobs were originally a weird oversight/quirk of the buyout, and Jo planned to change it once the dust settled (either by finding Toby a different role or just letting him go), but then she visited Scranton and realized, actually, having 2 HR reps was probably a good thing.
Could be related. Dwight plays StarCraft so a writer clearly is a fan and maybe dropped a deep Easter egg.
I’m also just realizing that the StarCraft storyline happened after we met GSL which makes it seem more likely to be related to me.
I see a lot of comments about lack of realism on the show, but not much about Holly being all over Michael in public like that, which seems very unrealistic and odd.
Number two, you're desperately trying to fit in a whole relationship before Toby comes back from jury duty and Holly has to go back to Nashua. Or three, you're at an age where your sexual climaxes aren't as powerful so you need to overcompensate with foreplay, taboo behavior...
Isn't that part of the joke? That she's in HR and should know better
I'm here from r/all so if this is just this sub's version of a circlejerk then my bad
I don't remember exactly when it happened. But, tv shows and movies all of the sudden had to be 100% real and plausible.
Did we all just forget we had genres that people could easily identify what they were watching.
So when they go, "Wait a second?! That sourcer, demi-god and gargoyle were fighting for the same side?!?" You'd realize, that documentary was not fact checked properly!
Yes but Holly is a character that’s generally seen as competent at her job, and she’s taken no-nonsense approaches to violations before. So it doesn’t really fit her character.
>Yes but Holly is a character that’s generally seen as competent at her job
Is she though? She got into a relationship with multiple coworkers, thought Jim and Dwight were best friends, and she fell for Packers lies initially.
Tbh Holly would probably have been fired for dating Michael in the first place, it’s extremely unethical for your HR rep to date your boss lol. Same goes for Jan and Michael, the companies I’ve worked for definitely had strict “you cannot be romantically involved with a superior” rules.
My boss’ wife (they worked together) had to retire because he got promoted.
She had to retire because her husband was promoted and became her boss which isn’t allowed. There wasn’t anywhere she could transfer so she retired instead
I always kind of excused this as Holly being blinded by her infatuation with Michael. They even have that one scene that always cracks me up where she says “the man *exudes* sex”. But yeah I thought of it as she’s so happy and in love that she doesn’t even think about what she’s doing in the office, especially since most of their coworkers have been aware of and encouraging the relationship as it developed. That’s why when Gabe brings it up she suddenly realizes that people notice and don’t necessarily appreciate their behavior.
Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time the show tries to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.
Gabe cracks me up. “I’ll tell you her last name tomorrow, because she’s going to be screaming it tonight.” “She’s going to be screaming her own last name?”
Hey. Watch it.
^Walk ^away, ^bitch ^🥺
you rang?
Oh, shut up skeleton man!

/u/StorageIll212 is a filthy comment stealing bot https://old.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/11xei1n/no_one_is_a_bigger_fan_of_sexual_touching_than_me/jd2ud3n/
Yeah, same spelling mistake How did you find it out?
Probably by reading the comments, checking the timestamp for both comments in question, and the bots comment history. That's typically how it's done.
I always try to imagine me screaming my own last name in the middle of sex and immediately start cracking up, because it would be ridiculous.
I went to school with a girl who's last name was the same as my first name. We never did anything, but if we had then technically it couod be possible for her to yell her own name. If I were that good in bed of course.
Taylor?
Anderson?
Stewart?
Thomas?
Jackson?
I did it once as a joke with my spouse after we had been cracking up about it and joking about it for some time. It… killed the mood pretty quick because we just died laughing. To be fair it’s not that sexy of a last name to begin with. Lesson learned for you :)
Talk in the third person about what a good time you're having haha
Acaster!
If you like Gabe then you should watch Silicon Valley. He basically plays the same characters as Gabe but a little darker and crazier but just as pathetic https://youtube.com/watch?v=bSm8TlobrjI&feature=shares Or my personal favorite "Sorry if I scared you. I know I have some ghost like features. My uncle used to say you looked like someone starved a virgin to death"
Just as pathetic? That guy fucks!
And he does, which is the best part.
But does he have doors that go like “THIS” 🙌
I have a rather delicate posterior. My great aunt used to call me “glasshole”
Do you want to die today, motherfucker?
That's not a real death threat!
Hey Dinesh nice chain
"How would you like to die today motherf\*\*\*\*\*r"
Jared is ride or die, comparing him to Gabe is disrespectful. Gabe does not fuck.
“I remember when biceps were all the rage”
"There are four tennants of pilates that I live my life by. 1. Lengthen, 2. Elongate"
"I'm taking karate classes online"
That blooper is definitely the hardest any actors on the show break character.
Need the hand movements.
Yeah I think Dukakis had just announced his candidacy…. For governor!
"Shut up about the sun! SHUT! UP! ABOUT! THE! SUN!"
Very possibly the most I laugh on every re-watch of the show
“It’s ok, I’ll date when I’m dead! 😬”
Get out skeleton man!
Honestly that line delivery is one of Tobys best.
Can anyone tell me how this punchline really goes? I know i’ve heard it before but can’t remember for the life of me
[Everything's](https://youtu.be/HTCwdZnY52I) on YouTube buddy :)
[About that. . . .](https://imgur.com/NSYzE17)
No bro. I mean the real fratboy joke/pickup line that The Office got the idea from
I think it’s just from the idea of a guy having sex with a girl is screaming HIS name. The fact that Gabe said the woman was going to be screaming her own last name is the ridiculousness of the joke and to me makes it even more funny ha.
I did some digging and there is a shitty old pickup line that goes like “give me your name so i know what to scream tonight” and Gabe got it all confused which to me makes it even more more funny loll
I’ve been going over it in my mind and I cannot figure out a way for it to make sense
Ok so I finally did some digging and the real saying goes something like “give me your name so i know what to scream tonight”. I think it’s safe to say Gabe’s version is a lot better than this shit
Dude, what?
The pick-up line is usually something like "Whats your name? I need to know what I'll be screaming tonight" Or "My name is ____, remember it cause you'll be screaming it all night".

I love him in Silicon Valley going from sweater bested tech bro to lunatic.
"I've been taking karate classes online"
There are four tenants I live by. 1: lengthen. 2: elongate.
Can’t believe there are people who don’t love Gabe
It feels like getting tackled by a skeleton.
Plenty of people love to touch him
Ryan: 🤨
Ryan had the best Jim face. Change my mind.
[False. Dwight.](https://i.imgur.com/aG3l3Vm.jpg)
That's Jim.
Exactly
His looks to camera were always underrated
[lemoñadé](https://i.imgur.com/TEIoHQC.gif)
Oh, get out, skeleton man.
Feel my butt, it’s like a warm pumpkin
Shut up about the sun!
I am unhappy with the confrontational nature of that meeting. I wanted it to go better. **I WANTED IT TO GO BETTER!!!**
Probably my favorite bit from Andy in the entire show. Dude really did work on his anger issues.
This is so true! I really loved Andy after anger management and they just annihilated his character in S9.
Went from yelling all the time around people & punching holes in the wall to being able to walk away to a secluded area, tell himself why he was upset, then yell to get out the frustration. He also walked away from a potential fight with kids after he tried to calmly get them to stop throwing things at Pam. Maybe(probably) it was him being a wimp, but still, it's hard to imagine someone with anger issues just walking away from some kids acting that way. (I know it's just a show but there are too many people in RL ready to physically "teach" kids a lesson). Edit for link : https://youtu.be/e-rPGxd9DSQ
I wonder how pre-anger management Andy would have interacted with Gabe.
imo one of the best things about the later seasona
Oh yea. Have was an outstanding addition to the show!
He does a pretty good abe lincoln impression too
Nelly gets a lot of hate too but she’s hilarious. Such a wild card.
He’s great in Avenue 5 as well
If anyone doesn't love Zach Woods, google "Zach Woods in the woods". Dude is a genius.
He plays basically the exact same character in Silicon Valley too.
“How would you like to die today motherfucker?”
“Hey, Dinesh, nice chain. Do you choke your mother with it when you put your penis in her butthole?”
Blasphemy. Jared is worlds better than Gabe. Jared would never use his position of power to ask out a subordinate. And he'd certainly never hold a grudge against a coworker for liking the same girl. Also Jared fucks.
Yea, that guy fucks!
do you mean Donald?
Hey Dinesh. Nice chain
This half of the quote doesn’t do justice.
The full quote would look really weird out of context
Except Gabe does not fuck
Sure he does, he gets ladies to scream their own name during sex.
Gabriel Susan Lewis.
He has a certain vibe he carries thru most of his roles, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they are the exact same characters. I actually think they were pretty different. Love them both.
Also plays a similar character in Avenue 5, but Silicon Valley is way better
And in Avenue 5.
I NEEDED THAT! *Bear growl's* FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! Where there's fish there's bears 💁🤷
…or twinks… leather daddies… just, whatever you’re into.
Saw him do a Q&A after a film he did at SXSW last year. He is one of the funniest people live! Dudes characters are just parts of who he really is and I absolutely love it.
Zach is best live. He's not that perfect at scripted stuff, but he's the best in the business at improv.
He’s so goddamn brilliant!! I will watch anything he’s in even if it’s terrible just because I know he’ll be amazing.
I wouldn't call him a genius for copying Neature Walks. Other stuff maybe, but not that.
I honestly don't understand his job. He's corporate liaison? Isn't that what HR supposed to be?
Toby has been mentally checked out since June
u/drawfanstein says I'm checked out, huh?
Nah HR (especially a one-person shop) is focused on stuff like hiring, benefits administration, payroll, reimbursement, compliance with labor laws and technical corporate policies, that kind of thing.

That sounds like you have two people doing one job. Now you can't give me gravy and tell me it's jelly because gravy ain't sweet.
gabe-wad
challenge being touched by him
I always thought he was kinda cute. It’s funny that everyone was so grossed out by him.
Seriously he’s in my top 3
He’s awesome in Silicon Valley too!
My wife and I used to say “what’s in it for GSL?” Like every day to each other.
Or even Phyllis could you imagine that??
Me
Ga-bastard
He’s so creepy!
Anyone who isn’t a fan of GSL, in my mind, is as good a person as bearded Ryan
Little old man boy. Bearded man boy.
Lol GSL is the name of the best Starcraft league in the world and I got so confused how that related at first
Could be related. Dwight plays StarCraft so a writer clearly is a fan and maybe dropped a deep Easter egg. I’m also just realizing that the StarCraft storyline happened after we met GSL which makes it seem more likely to be related to me.
I see a lot of comments about lack of realism on the show, but not much about Holly being all over Michael in public like that, which seems very unrealistic and odd.
Reason one, they're taking MDMA. Street name, Ecstasy. I've done it, and I know the feeling.
Number two, you're desperately trying to fit in a whole relationship before Toby comes back from jury duty and Holly has to go back to Nashua. Or three, you're at an age where your sexual climaxes aren't as powerful so you need to overcompensate with foreplay, taboo behavior...
No, I don't think so.
Wrongo bongo. I can confirm that u/BLOOM_ND has, in fact, taken ecstasy
Source - Trust Me, Bro.
Especially since she's in the HR department, she would know it's not appropriate for the office
Isn't that part of the joke? That she's in HR and should know better I'm here from r/all so if this is just this sub's version of a circlejerk then my bad
A lot of people on this sub over analyze the show and forget its a sitcom with absurd situations and characters
>Pam and Jim are terrible people and HeRes WhY

It depends how socially unaware people would be I’d imagine
Tbh Holly would probably have been fired for dating Michael in the first place, it’s extremely unethical for your HR rep to date your boss lol. Same goes for Jan and Michael, the companies I’ve worked for definitely had strict “you cannot be romantically involved with a superior” rules.

Wait that's crazy! Because of a company policy, the woman had to voluntarily quit because her husband was promoted? How is that even legal
She had to retire because her husband was promoted and became her boss which isn’t allowed. There wasn’t anywhere she could transfer so she retired instead
I always kind of excused this as Holly being blinded by her infatuation with Michael. They even have that one scene that always cracks me up where she says “the man *exudes* sex”.

Nose honking, another popular one. Bicep honking, underrated.
Don't get me started on deltoid honking.
Leeeeeeet's get it started, in heeeeere! (Honking, honking, honk honking, honking)
Big biceps are considered womanish. They’re basically just arm tits
I remember when biceps were all the rage. Dukakis had just announced his candidacy...for governor.
He was taking karate classes online.
Hand honking is actually considered polite in my workplace. Super weird.
As long as it's a mutual hand honk...some people prefer an air-honk
Butt honking just sounds like farting with extra steps
Stanley hates extra steps.
Guess what? Never gonna happen!
Yeah, this is hot! (shoves popcorn into my mouth by the fistful)
You mean popcarn
Oh I get it, Andy’s slamming my girlfriend ha ha
Gabe saying booby honking will never not be funny
All the honkings? I quit!
The honkening
There are plenty of people who love touching me.
Holly was an HR rep. She should know better.
What about the one where you starts in a crouched position and gets all the way up ................
This guy fucks - hope you'll get the reference
When he said that I lost it! 🤣
So even nose honking can be sexual
This is one of my favorite quotes of the whole show. Works on so many levels
"all the honkings" is one of my all timers
I want a dominant HR girlfriend, kinda hot ngl. Kinda problematic, she’d ruin your life if you reacted in any way. Kinda hot ngl.
This guy fucks
["I know everything there is to know about PDA, ok. All the honkings. I know 'em."](https://youtu.be/pS-cdGjIVaI)
This was a terrible episode and one of the ones I can't rewatch, really feels they had run out of ideas for Michael and Holly at this point
It's ironic how people hated Gabe on 'the office' but loved the same character in 'silicon valley' and by "people" I mean me
When I hug you it’s like hugging a skeleton gabe
Like getting tackled by a sleleton.
You’re just a little chimp.
This is such broad humor. Very reflective of weaker writing in later seasons.
Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time the show tries to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.
Broad honking?
Yes, these are scenes from the show.
Who hurt you? What happened to you in high school?
Maybe I just think that posting screenshots of a show isn’t really that interesting.
Why tf even bother commenting then?
classic Jared Dunn vibe
Hey! It's the bird man.
Gabe and Erin are some of the best characters. I used to watch them on [atomic wedgie](https://youtu.be/5RP3x1qbDpc) before they were on the office
