What is each character's most "in character" quote? Day 18: Toby
This is underrated! Toby in one fucking word!
I feel like Toby has a lot of good ones. My choice would probably be “Michael, 9 different people emailed me that photo including my ex-wife and we don’t even talk”
yees, was gonna write that, so glad it's the top comment :D
“Can you kick me out of the meeting now?”
Its so funny because he just admits defeat later in the show
Go
“I don’t think Michael intended to punish me by putting Ryan back here with Kelly. But if he did intend that….genius.”
His delivery of genius here is phenomenal. One of my favourite quotes.
This is one of my favourite because I don’t think that was Michael’s intention it just worked out to be and we got to hear Kelly and Ryan fight all time.
“When I was a kid my parents got divorced, and they both wanted custody, and they both asked me to testify against the other one in court. I didn’t want them to get divorced in the first place. I just loved them so much.…”
Michael pushes his lunch on the floor
That always makes me cackle. Thank you for the reminder
"I know people are only this excited to talk to me because of the trial. But, they talk to me for a while, and maybe people realize I have something to say. And then one day, we're just talking."
"Yes, the case of the horrible red-headed sad sack. And the verdict, it was Toby. And the sentence, death. Death to Toby!"
Michael.... that's hurtful talk
Poor Toby :(
Oh, I should get the accident report binder. I've never used the gun violence forms before.
He was so excited!
Then there's the terrorist one too !
“Why you always gotta be so mean to me?”
And the fact that he's apparently asking this question to God himself lol
This is a great one. Really sums up what a sad sack he is in a short quote
Came here to say this
Was gona write this one!
Erin, HR is a joke. I can’t do anything about anything.
This is the one 😂
This has to be it. The others above it right now are too long.
I was looking for this one. Saying the truth out loud.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA HERE?
To me… the funniest Toby line in the whole show
I hear his voice cracking every time
💀
No one has a camera here
Immediately what I thought of
The delivery, desperate, anxious with a hint of hope... Godlike.
This should be top
I had like five downvotes at first lol I was confused.
What are you guys talking about? I have a daughter, how can I be a virgin?
"Michael is like a movie on a plane. You know, it's not great, but it's something to watch. And when it's over you're like... how much time is left on this flight? Now what?"
this is ironically one of my favorite lines of the whole show. the way he softly goes off the rails back into his wallow just touches me deeply and i crack up every time.
Oscar says I checked out, huh? Huh…
Lmao I love this scene
This is perfect
Actually, I didn't think it was appropriate to invite children since it's, uh, you know, there's gambling and alcohol, and it's in our dangerous warehouse and it's a school night... And, you know, Hooters is catering. You know, is that… is that enough? Should I keep going?
Why are you the way that you are?
I hate so much about the things you choose to be
Honestly, every time I try to do something exciting and fun you make it not that way
I hate…so much about the things you choose to be.
This was the first one I thought of.
This is the one that came to mind for me 😂
Well, I was in the Seminary for a year and dropped out because I wanted to have sex with this girl, Cathy. followed her to Scranton. Took the first job I could find in H.R. Later she divorced me. So no, I wouldn't say I have a passion for H.R.
Talking to God: why do you gotta always be so mean to me?!
This should be it.
Thank you lol? But I always crack up when he's arguing with God at the altar lol
But it saddens me. Toby didn't deserve the hatred.
This is it
This one for sure
Came here looking for this.
Dude completely trauma dumped.
Op this one plz
I approve.
HEY ASSHOLE….are you going to eat all that dog food yourself?
This is my favorite office quote 💀
Hilarious! The one time Toby got aggressive
This is a really good quote but a really bad example for this thread
Why would it be?
Probably his most out of character quote tbh
"I have six roommates, which are better than friends because they have to give you one month's notice before they leave."
This
I'd say all the goofing around at Pam's desk, and, and hanging out with Pam, has finally caught up to him... w-with Pam.
Chad Flendermen. Just an easy going black guy, he knows the streets, yet he also went to Oxford. So... Just as comfortable on a motorcycle as he is on Air Force One. Oh and he's also the world's leading Egyptologist.
“This may be the first time a male subordinate has attempted to get a modest scheduled raise by threatening to withhold sex from a female superior. It will be a groundbreaking case, when it inevitably goes to trial.”
His greatest line imo
Legit HR, too. 🚀
Syrian restaurants and radon are the only two things that Toby will fight for 🤣
This won't win, but I love it because it showcases Toby's empathy and level-headness:
"You know they're teasing you. I mean, obviously this is a much nicer place than an actual prison. We get paid to be here. We go home afterwards and have social lives. And we have parties here. They're teasing you to be funny."
“Write your own damn novel.”
It was so unexpected coming from Toby. Loved it.
Every Halloween I tell him the same thing; you can't bring weapons into the office, and every year he says the same thing; as soon as I get my weapons back I'm gonna kill you.
Its a good one but I think it says more about Dwight
i actually like this the most.
I'm one lurcky turkey
No more smores, no more smores
Smile if you like men’s prostates!
I know it won’t win but honestly I love this one so much.
One of my favourite lines in the whole show!!
It’s the delivery with no context to that woman’s face with the creepy mustache. lol. I agree!
Oh, I went zip lining my third day in Costa Rica. I guess the harness wasn't strapped in exactly right. I broke my neck. And, I've been in the hospital five weeks now. I still haven't seen the beach. It's nice to have visitors.
Casual Friday is cancelled
DOESANYBODYHAVEACAMERAHERE?
Come on Dwight we talked about this for hours.
(rubs Pam's leg). I... am... moving to Costa Rica. Thought about it for a long time now. And I'm finally gonna do it. So... I'm just gonna hop the the fence and jog home.
"Daryl man, I need this doll."
"it's perfect"
She’s gonna be screaming her own last name?
While he was one who said this but it describes gabe more
But it’s a good example of Toby being a good straight man in the scene.
Another example I wanted to use but didn’t because it’s not as popular is when Michael comes into Toby’s “office” and Toby says something like “come on in! Sit on…the shredder” as Michael approached the shredder instead of a chair and you hear the shredder crunch.
Hey watch it
Good luck to you, Gabe.
“I would start at the beginning, but I think I need to go farther back”
It is your cake day.
😂 this always cracks me up
Oooooh I dont remember the context of this one!
I mean, just this morning I saw a little bird fly into the glass doors downstairs and die. And I had to keep going.
It’s even better than the one I wanted…
I have a daughter, how could I be a virgin?
Welcome, Im Tony
What?
We really should have the office’s air quality tested for radon, it’s a silent killer
Toby has been leaving radon kits everywhere, like he owns the place. The first time I threw mine away, I thought it was an ant trap. But I figured I'd rather live with ants than with his creepy little disc. The second time...I thought it was one of those, you know, those things you turn over and it moos. Like a cow thing. But upon closer examination, it was another ant trap, so I threw it away. And the third time...I did it out of spite.
You'll see
You are the silent killer, go back to the annex
Why ya gotta be so mean to me?
Don't throw this out. This is a radon test kit. Don't throw this out. This is a radon test kit.
snaps fingers
(Whispering) “It’s working!”
My birthday was two months ago. There was no party
Well, there was a party. Michael scheduled it for 4:45 on a Friday, people sang in the parking lot...
DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA
It felt good taking those chips from Michael. I’m going to chase that feeling.
I just love Toby, man. Hes my favorite
I do too. He never gets a fair shake. Didn't get a ride or go to beach day. He's always so mild mannered.
There is no shame in getting beat up by a woman. My ex wife used to demolish me.
Not a Toby quote, but I have to say it:
“DOES ANYBODY HAVE A CAMERA!?!?!?”
im just preparing for the deposition
You have to stop
"Who do you think you are?" "I'm Toby"
"DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA HERE..."
so awkward and desperate
“Well, I was in the Seminary for a year and dropped out 'cause I wanted to have sex with this girl, Cathy. Followed her to Scranton. Took the first job I could find in H.R. Later she divorced me. So no, I wouldn't say I have a passion for H.R.”
I love Stanley's quote but it bothers me that the comment had/has a typo in it.. It should say, "...drive my daughter...", not driving.
“Smile if you love mens prostates”
**speaks in a mumbly monotone sad voice**
So Oscar said I've checked out, hmm.
I know people are only this excited to talk to me because of the trial. But, they talk to me for a while, and maybe people realize I have something to say. And then one day, we're just talking.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
Figured his most "in character" is Michael speaking over him to answer.
You can’t do that Michael
Hey you a**hole ! You gonna eat all that dog food yourself ?
“Has anyone got a camera?”
DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA?
I’m Toby. His most blah line for the most blah character
“DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA IN HERE?”
I had to make it look like I tried
HR is a joke. I can't do anything about anythong
It’s even better than the one I wanted.
"why?" or "why, Michael?"
“I have six roommates, which are better than friends because they have to give you one month's notice before they leave.”
“I don’t know if Michael meant to punish me by putting Ryan back here, but if he was… wow, genius.”
Toby - Smile if you love men’s prostates.
‘I’m Toby’
"It felt really good to take money from Michael. Gonna chase that feeling."
This may be the first time that a male subordinate has attempted to get a modest, scheduled raise by threatening to withhold sex from his female superior. It will be a groundbreaking case when it inevitably goes to trial.
“Why you always gotta be so mean to me?”
smile if you love men's prostates
Write your own damn novel.
the look he gives the camera at the end of the “if I only had one bullet” cold open
That’s Toby’s most in character quote
Every Friday at 4:00 I have a standing appointment with Dwight for him to file a grievance against Jim. I tell him that I'm sending them to a special file in New York. That box is the special file in New York
Smile if you love mens prostate
No more s’mores, no more s’mores
“I’m just sad the public school system failed him So badly”
looks up at Jesus on the cross in the church
“Why you always gotta be so mean to me?”
“Write your own damn novel”
Does anyone have a camera here?
I’m Tony
Well, I was in the Seminary for a year and dropped out 'cause I wanted to have sex with this girl, Cathy. Followed her to Scranton. Took the first job I could find in H.R. Later she divorced me. So no, I wouldn't say I have a passion for H.R.
This is a radon test kit.
Smile if you love men’s prostates
DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA?!?
So no, I wouldn’t say I have a passion for H.R.
Erin, HR is a joke. I can’t do anything about anything.
This could be the start of my first friendship
"I'd like you to imagine a place where you feel very peaceful. For me, it's the walk from the yogurt shop to my car after I drop my daughter off on Sunday afternoons."
Actually, I didn't think it was appropriate to invite children. Since it's, you know, there's gambling and alcohol. And it's in our dangerous warehouse…and it’s a school night…and, you know, Hooters is catering. Is that enough?
I have six roommates, which are better than friends because they have to give you one month's notice before they leave.
“Smile if you love mens prostates”
Happy cake day!
“I’m going to Thailand, right now”
Okay.
...why ya always gotta be so mean to me?
Or
The flenderson files... Dum bum bum.
HEY, YOU, ASS****, you gonna eat all that dogfood yourself?!
"Bowtie..."
Why?…
“Why ya always gotta be so mean to me?”
“…Why you always gotta be so mean to me??”
Why you always gotta be so mean to me?
His pathetic "Why?" after Dwight steals his gift bag with the robe.
