Watching a show like The Office is so much fun because it never gets old. It is easy to rewatch the same episodes over and over and over again. One of the ongoing jokes we see in The Office is Jim Halpert‘s obsession with constantly pranking Dwight Schrute. Jim Halpert pranks Dwight Schrute all the time and the things he comes up with are pretty hilarious.
Jim is super creative and he dedicates a lot of his time, energy, and efforts into making sure that his pranks go off without a hitch. Some of his pranks are bigger than others, while some of them are just small enough to annoy Dwight without alarming anyone else in their shared workplace. It is pretty hilarious to see how much Jim Halpert is able to get away with when it comes to pranking his coworker, Dwight Schrute. With a boss like Michael Scott, Jim was able to do whatever he wanted!
