The Office is one of the greatest sticoms of the 2000's. The series which ran from 2005-2013 on NBC is still attracting a new fan base in reruns on streaming services like Netflix. The supporting cast of The Office made this series a must watch. One of the funniest of those characters was boozy Meredith Palmer, played spectacularly by Kate Flannery. Here are out five favorite moments featuring this classic redhead.
1. Getting Hit by a Car
It must have been difficult having a camera follow you around all day at work. At times, it may even distract you from your daily habits like driving into work. Michael is talking about how he is looking forward to a new year when BAM: he hits poor Meredith right in the parking lot at Dunder Mifflin. At least she gets a really cool cast for Jim to sign.
2. Casual Friday
Most employees love Casual Friday and the gang on The Office were not any different. After Michael returns to Dunder Mifflin, after leaving to create The Michael Scott Paper Company, he brings back Casual Friday into the office. Most of the staff takes part, including Meredith. She takes things a little too far in the dress she chooses to wear and shows off a little more than what her co-workers would have liked to see.
3. Flashing Michael
Any The Office fan knows that Meredith Palmer likes her alcohol. Sometimes drinking can cause her to get a little bit crazy. During the second season of the series, the gang has an office Christmas party and things start to get wild when alcohol is brought into the mix. The gang does not want the party to end and decide to head to Poor Richard’s for a few more drinks. Before they head out, Meredith flashes Michael. He even takes a picture to remember the occasion.
4. Going Bat Crazy
The Office crew was just chugging away selling that paper one day when all of a sudden their lives changed as a bat entered their work space. Most of the employees were able to leave the premises. However, Meredith was trapped in the bathroom and couldn’t leave. When she does decide to break loose, Dwight goes after the bat and captures it! Meredith wasn’t so excited because he caught the animal when it was flying around her head.
5. Rehab!
Michael always wants the best for his employees because they are his closest friends. At the annual Christmas party he decides that Meredith is an alcoholic. In trueThe Office fashion, Michael decides to take matters into his own hands and drives Meredith to the nearest rehabilitation center. The end result is true slapstick comedy. Kudos to Steve Carell and Kate Flannery on bringing us this awesome Meredith Palmer moment. This video doesn't doesn't include the most hilarious moments at the rehab center, but still worth watching.
