The Office by Way of ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’

The Office by Way of ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’

As anyone who has ever visited YouTube would attest, approximately 98 percent of all fan-made videos suffer from being, well, fan-made. However, YouTube users Brad E and Ashley G seem to have beaten the odds and knocked their new(ish) video called "Ryan Started the Fire" right out of the park. Not only is it a fairly well-edited compendium of all-time great Office moments, it's set to a masterful reimagining of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire." Example lyric: "Bleeding nipples, Carol Stills, baby picture, rabies kills / Bob Vance, fired Roy, and a kidnapped pizza boy." If that doesn't sell you, then we're not sure what will.
