"Local Ad - Dunder Mifflin - The Office" This fictional ad created by the cast of NBC's the office shows how important a piece of paper can be. It begins with a corporate memo being printed out on a copier/printer. The paper is passed around and signed where Creed then folds it into a paper airplane and throws it. The paper plane "flies" (actually just carried in front of the camera) through the office and out the window all the way to "India" (which is actually just Kelly standing in front of a poorly rendered green screen image of the Taj Mahal). She unfolds the paper which now says, "I Love You" on it. She then rolls it up, and it is used like a track and field baton which is passed off to Andy who is running on a track. He crosses the finish line and celebrates. They show an image of the local paper with strips of paper cut out with a fake headline and Andy's picture taped to it proclaiming that "Hometown Boy Wins Race". This paper is delivered to Phyllis's front door where Dwight rings her doorbell. He is holding a paper that says, "You have a son, and it's me." and they hug. Dwight's paper blows away. It is picked up by a community service worker played by Stanley, but now the paper talks about a job opening at Dunder Mifflin. He brings the paper in for his job interview and drops it off at Jim's desk. Jim crumples up the paper, and throws it behind his back into the garbage can. Michael pulls the paper out of the garbage, unfolds it, and puts it up on the wall where it now reads, "World's Most Creative Boss". It all starts with an idea, but you can never tell where an idea will end up. Because ideas spread. They change, grow. They connect us with the world, and in a fast moving world, when good news moves at the speed of time, and bad news isn't always what it seems. Because when push comes to shove, we all deserve a second chance to score. Dunder Mifflin - limitless paper in a paperless world.
