Though there is certainly a long list of fantastic characters in The Office, I think we can all agree that Dwight Schrute is the most unique, and arguably the funniest. Played by the wonderful Rainn Wilson, Dwight is someone who gets under your skin at first, before you find yourself feeling completely endeared by him. As much as Dwight annoys me at times, I would totally want to be his friend or coworker! His life is just too intriguing. A paper salesman during the week and a beet farmer on the weekends, Dwight kind of lives a double life. And viewers are always left wanting to learn more.
It's true that it's been a very long time since The Office was on the air — over a decade ago, to be exact (feel old yet?) — but that doesn't mean fans are done obsessing over the awesome sitcom. And though we don't have new episodes of the beloved comedy to enjoy, there's always new merchandise coming out to nerd out over. If you're looking for a nice touch of The Office to add to your own home office while you work, look no further than this perfect Dwight motivational poster.
Dwight Schrute will oversee your home office with this poster
Using one of the best Dwight quotes from The Office, this poster, which you can see above, displays the word "Excellence" before the line: "Before I do anything I ask myself, 'would an idiot do that?' And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." The photo featured is a still from the NBC series which shows Dwight looking very stern. He's watching you! Don't do anything an idiot would do! Motivation enough? Truly, I need this poster right above my desk while I'm working.

It's easy to understand why The Office is the pop culture phenomenon it is, even after over a decade since the finale aired. Wilson's portrayal of Dwight is such a huge part of the show's impact, with the actor scoring three Emmy Award nominations during the show's run. At the SAG Awards, the whole cast won twice, along with five additional nominations, for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. If you missed The Office while it was on TV (like I did), you probably got familiar with the show when it was on Netflix. Those binge sessions were epic!
Now, of course, The Office is not available on Netflix anymore. You'll have to subscribe to NBC's streaming service Peacock to watch every season. But it's not all bad news! Since adding the show to Peacock, the streamer has added "superfan episodes" which include never-before-released deleted scenes and extended cuts! You can sign up for Peacock here.
