Cut by time, the exclusive clip offers what may be Jim’s most elaborate prank – a five-minute farce to convince Dwight that he is really living in the Matrix.
Fans of “The office” know that modern classic comedy has always had a second secret weapon hidden from view. Perhaps more than any previous program, the Dunder-Mifflin people had mastered the open cold.
Coming before the opening credits, “The Office” used to take those few minutes to present what effectively amounts to a comedy short film. Fans still talk about the incident with Kevin’s chili or Angela’s cat loose in the office as highlights of the series.

🚨 This is not an exercise. 🚨 Presenting a cold never seen before #The office!
