There’s A Website That Tracks Every Cultural Reference Made On ‘The Office’

The Office Time Machine is the “We Didn’t Start the Fire” of RYAN STARTED THE FIRE, I mean, websites.

Unlike the Billy Joel single, it’s actually kind of fun — Joe Sabia spent a ridiculous amount of time (approximately 18 months) compiling 1,300 references over nine seasons of The Office into distinct YouTube videos sorted by years, from the 1500s up to today.
