Take a shot everytime "office" is said.

"Dunder Mifflin baffles me" -That one guy in the coal mine gift shop

As a local I'm glad someone from the outside noticed, please help us, Dunder Mifflin is holding us hostage

Scranton be like: I was nothing until the office was recorded.

as a scranton resident for my entire life so far, i can say firsthand that the office is a plague to this city to the point where people who dont live here are like "woah scranton is a real place?!!?" and yes, yes it is and we hate living here and dont care about your references or jokes about the show. that being said scranton has some hidden gems and can be an alright place sometimes

I have been living and working in this area for my whole life....I have not seen anyone from Scranton or the surrounding areas wear Dunder Mifflin merch in the past 10 years- maybe longer. I dont know how all that merch isnt on clearance by now 🤣

A lot of people come to Scranton specifically for the Office and there honestly isn’t a whole lot of things here that were in the actual show. Small businesses like us try to offer small things like decor and merch to accommodate that tourists that came a long way to see us. If a Dunder Mifflin t-shirt can make their visit memorable then that’s a good enough reason to sell it.

Scrantonian here, you literally only see Office related things downtown. City's been dying hard for the past few decades (the population is half what it was at its peak in the 20's and 30's), so Office references have become the equivalent of throwing twigs in the furnace to keep a train going.

I honestly love this. They milked it to the highest degree and ngl, kinda funny.

As someone who lives in scranton, you mean to tell me every shop in the US doesnt have office merch?

As a Scrantonian I honestly didn’t realize how much Dunder Mifflin has been plastered in places like the Mine Tour.. I love the show and everything but I felt bad for that guy 😭 you come to find most people could really care less about the city’s affiliation to the show

Having only heard about The Office (never watched it) i can say that they definitely milked Scranton beyond the maximum sane amount. We are essentially witnessing a town becoming depressing and slightly dystopian for most casuals because of a popular sitcom which plot takes place in. That's why many sitcom writers come up with fictional locations, and fictional cities, so no casual person will say "Dunder Mifflin baffles me" when they visit a town. And tbh I would rather go to the trolley museum than anywhere else mentioned in this video. Too much overhype

King is literally going all out with his road trip this year and I love it

I literally have to deal with this every day . I don’t even like the office

I love his vlogs the most. His voice is just soo relaxing. Keep up the good work man

And let the record show, the market place at steamtown originally was named “steamtown mall” from which the office used

Its the Rust Belt, every "major" city in this area is destroyed. I live in Binghamton the next closest "major" city just 1 hour away from Scranton and go there often. There's nothing left, no growing industry, tons of abandoned houses and businesses, and half the population than there was in the 60s/70s. But if you find a decent paying job in the Rust Belt, its super cheap; cheap housing, cheap groceries, cheap flights at the airport, short commutes because the infrastructure is made to support triple the population, good schools, and close enough to cities like Philly or NYC to take a short drive.

at this point they might as well rename the whole town to "theofficeland"

The legend King pumping out these videos like a chad

Love your content Plainrock!!

While this video is funny. What makes scranton sad is the fact that the city has been left in so much financial turmoil because of the fact that it was an industry town. Not much need for coal or steel nowadays, and with 3 Wal-marts within 15 miles of scranton, the local business economy has essentially collapsed. The economy of scranton isnt going to "go down" when people stop liking the office because 1. People dont like the office 2. The economy is already in fucking shambles. Nobody in scranton talks about the office either. The only people who make this city about the office are... well.... Glad you didn't enjoy your brief ride-through, please dont come back to perpetuate this shit anymore.

I bet behind the scenes king got every single office Murch ever.

Ok. The pinned comment says "take a shot everytime "office" is said." So I count it since I don't want to get up and take a drink or any liquids. It will take 25 shots if you will drink. And, if it is how many "office" word you'll see... Well just drink the whole bottle lol

I love your content you always make my day thanks

This is so cool watching you come to my home hope you enjoyed! Wish I could’ve met you

LOL. As someone who grew up in the area and had lived in Scranton almost his whole life, I can confirm this is all true. Scranton was in its second heyday when The Office was having its big run on TV, and the city was actually doing quite well on the surface. Streets were paved, new sidewalks were put in, and the downtown area was bustling with shoppers and tourists. Now that the run is over, Scranton is in financial crisis and selling Office merch is something businesses in the area are clinging on to for survival. It isn't working though as the local shopping centers are all out of business, the mall downtown is a shell of itself with government businesses and other strange things inside, most of the downtown is abandoned and falling apart, and the previous mayor is either in jail or on his way there for illegal practice. Crime is on the rise, and the only thing still profiting in Scranton is the University.

Been waiting for next episode

Congratulations on 900k subscribers!

Dude i was just thinking "when is plainrock going to upload?" and the notification popped up

I literally started watching The Office last week and then Plainrock makes a video about it!?

Dude King has been pumping videos, respect ✊

Love these videos so much, plain rock seems like a cool dude

King's content and vlogs are very entertaining. Can't wait for the Black Friday vlog with Jonathan or the whole group with Coby and Tristan. Coby's working during Black Friday again?

The trolley museum is mentioned in the office when Dwight does the karate thing

Love your videos King!

Yayyyy! New vlog!!

Most people that live here don't obsess over the office and it doesn't come up in normal everyday conversation. Hell, I haven't talked about the office in maybe five years. There is a lot of cool stuff that doesn't involve anything about the office. The only reason that he saw all of this stuff about the office is because he went searching for the touristy spots that cater to people coming from out of the area to look at office stuff. Also, there aren't many stores in the mall that carry office merch, so I don't know what that's about.

The office is one of my favorite shows and I went to Scranton because I thought it would be fun and I almost threw up everywhere there’s office they really are the office city

Welcome to my home state and where I was born and close to my hometown. I never watched The Office..

If plainrock roasts something ....you know that its something he loves !!!

Aye i know that guy from "The office" he is very popular lol

Trolley Museum was the Highlight to me

I live right by here! So glad your visiting! I only live 20 minutes away.

I love your videos plainrock

I used to live in Scranton 4 years ago it’s kinda boring. I lived in the town Dunmore. The day before I moved to Vermont we ate at alfrado’s

Normal people when they hear Scranton: oh it’s where The Office took place Me when I hear Scranton: oh it’s where Joe Biden was born

I am happy to see a new vlog

Me and a coworker tore out, and replaced the front door of the penn paper office. It’s a bit of a boring place with a few hints of Dunder mifflin stuff thrown around. It was still an interesting experience none the less. Working in Scranton was always an interesting experience. I got to see lots of locations that were depicted on the show.

How very informative! Didn't know they made a city after the show!

It really is a shame that the Office is the areas claim to fame. Scranton is centrally located to many cities. 2 1/2 hours to either Philly or NYC. 2 hours to Syracuse and Ithaca NY or Harrisburg PA. 1 hour to Allentown PA or Binghamton NY. I’m a transplanted NYer to the Scranton area. I moved here bc I wanted to buy a home. Any house within 2 hours of NYC was not in my price range and then the taxes on those homes within that 2 hour range are just too high. For years Scranton has been talking about building a high speed train to NYC. That would require going through 2 states. They should aim for a high speed train to Philly if they are serious. Ppl are getting priced out of the bigger cities. Why not give them more options within ur own state. High speed public transportation to a larger city could revitalize the city of Scranton.

i use to pass the building in the intro everyday walking to school🤣 i grew up in the projects up the st 🤣

I live right outside Scranton. Hope you enjoyed your visit!

I lived in scranton my whole life and the scranton welcomes you sign is still in the same spot. There is also not only one.

As a Pennsylvanian, I never visited Scranton before :(

i am ready for the 2021 black friday video

All the office memorabilia just started popping up a few years ago. A few years ago their was a news station running a story about how the Lackawanna visitors/ tourism dept. were getting complaints from tourists because there wasn't any Office related merchandise to be bought in the city. I guess these businesses ran with it. Nice video tho. I hope you enjoyed your visit here and learned some interesting facts about our area.

I’m honestly super thankful that while you did poke fun at Scranton, you didn’t really shit on it. Because most people, really everyone, just absolutely annihilates it. So, genuinely, thanks

I have lived here my whole life, and honestly would have no idea what Dunder Mifflin was 😂🤣 I never noticed any merch, or the signs for that matter. It’s kinda funny actually. If your someone who doesn’t watch the office, this stuff doesn’t stick out to you one bit 🤷🏼‍♀️

3:17, the Lackawanna Trolley museum was actually mentioned in the season six episode Murder. In the opening, Dwight says “You are a member of the Yakuza and you happen to be visiting the Lackawanna Trolley Museum and you are attacked by Tri-Ads”

congrats for 9 hundo k subs

Imagine being born in scranton

Should a break in to someone's office and film it then sell it to a tv company as a sitcom called the real office and should I watch it, should I watch the office

This was a neat documentary style video, as someone who has seen the Office, I’m not too surprised the town of Scranton has capitalized so much off of the show’s success.

I've been living in Scranton for a year now and never noticed any of this. But then again, I've only seen a handful of The Office episodes. I'll try to be more on the lookout for references.

4:36 to 4:37 The fact that Plainrock just yells in a public place makes it 3 times funnier!

If you've been living under a rock for the past 16 years, I'm jealous of you. - King - Me: Well Lithuania is a rock.. so thanks(?)

Omg king. That’s my childhood mall. I cannot believe you actually went to there. I was at school by that time. And I live near there in Lackawanna. And I used to live there until around 2016 - 2017.

It’s cool knowing plainrock saw my school

I lived in Scranton for two years... It's a really depressing place. I had to get out of there ASAP.

I love The Office… but… you know that fatigue Hamilton fans have with how overhyped it gets sometimes… that’s how I feel about the show. Still Great as Hell and relates to the everyday struggles of real life. But when all of that charm is beaten to the goddamn ground it gets annoying. It’s like A Christmas Story.

will you do a black friday video this year? Those videos always intertain me

Love it! There is great food, traditions and people in Scranton, PA. Proud to reside N.E.P.A. Except in the winter! God Bless!😇🙏❤

I don't think the amount of office merch they have has something to do with them accepting their fate. It feels more like the town trying to take advantage of the fact that they were a setting in a famous tv show as a cash grab

This was a pretty cool vlog!

They mention the trolley museum in the office when Dwight is giving his karate seminar

0:28 lol the 1st search term snd king still goes there

"I couldn't help but cringe a bit." Yeah, that's Scranton.

*Can we all agree that when He uploads our days get better! 💖*

too many dundermifflin t-shirts lol honestly I like your videos and keep it up

That explains the sign in steam town- kinda strange to see my usual haunt in a youtube vid XD

I AM THE BIGGEST FAN OF THE OFFICE, I love this video so so so much!!!

I’m from Scranton and this guy visited the only places that sell office merch (which are mostly tourist destinations) and acted as if it applies to the whole city. Not cool man

Hope you checked out the retro game store nearby. It’s a super awesome place

as someone who lived in scranton. yep (luckily I was far away from all the tourist shops, as I was there for college)

L

You should totally come to Menifee! When will you be in LA? Awesome!

I live in Scranton, but I'm from Virginia. I don't notice The Office stuff anymore... all I notice is extremely grumpy people. Having traveled a lot in my lifetime, I can honestly say it doesn't get much grumpier than Scranton

Off the charts crazy

It's the new TV reboot set in Scranton on NBC: "The Office: The Next Legacy"! Coming soon to Peacock!👍👍👍👍👍👍

I live in Scranton and I didn’t even know there was that much office merch

3:04 they referenced it, in Dwight’s martial arts seminar, the one where he fights himself

Oh god you went to steamtown NOW? It used to be bopping maybe 10 years ago- but now I’m scared I’ll get napped if I walk down the long back isle to the bathroom.

Ayy my hometown!

Popular show back then

I saw you in the seafood house I live in Pittsburgh and we went their on a road trip lol

The Trolly Museum was referenced in the beginning of Season 6 Episode 9 “Murder”

How did I not see you coming through

from the title it also looked like he was about to diss the president's hometown

Watching this while watching The Office

For the fact that none of the show except for the opening sequence was filmed in the real Scranton, the show did a fantastic job referencing actual places. Granted many of the restaurants didn’t pop up till after the show but the other major sites were certainly.
