Making A Strangler - The Office US 

This is such a underrated line from Dwight “To my chickens I’m the Scranton strangler”

They don’t have a “best of Toby” but they have this episode

Toby didnt kill Michael because he was affraid of prison mike.

You’re also forgetting the christening of Jim and Pams baby…and Toby can’t go in to the church because he has “issues to work out with god”

I knew it. Toby was the man I most medium expected

When Toby strangles his victims, he pictures Michael's face as he's doing it.

This is leaving out the part where Toby easily climbs the fence after everyone got locked inside and he announced he is gonna move to Costa Rica after touching Pam. Toby revealed he is more athletic and physically able than his weak and calm appearance lets you believe.

When CeCe was born, Andy got her a gift of the news paper, but because the baby was late, he had to replace it with a different title called, “The Scranton Strangler Strikes Again.” Note that Toby hadn’t shown up to see the baby.

the scranton strangler never actually killed anyone. in a behind the scenes it was said that he just choked them until they passed out because he wasnt strong enough

Toby had a thing for pam and on the day her kid is born there is a killing, someone need to let out some anger...

I like to think that during Toby's visit to see the "Scranton Strangler", he actually just visits the person he set up to make everyone think he's the one. During the visit he just goes laugh at him and thats why he got attacked.

“To my chickens, I’m the Scranton strangler.”

Just realized that the blackmail Creed had on Toby in that episode was probably proof he was the strangler. Really interesting to think about actually.

Also remember when Michael framed Toby and he was freaking about the cops searching his things!

- Yes! The case of the horrible Redheaded sad-sack. - And the verdict? It was Toby. And the sentence? Death. - Death to Toby. *well that escalated quickly*

I would pay to see a movie about Toby and how he became the Scranton Strangler. Seeing him go into madness and take his first kill

Another piece of evidence is that Toby was reluctant to enter the church when CeCe was getting Christened, and he said that him and the "big guy" had a lot to catch up on

Can they make a dark graphic suspense netflix series about toby's life as the scranton strangler? With some cameos from the rest of the office cast?

The office writers should create a "documentary" where they reveal the real Scranton killer and his story, starting from his childhood up to now. I would watch that.

0:56 Michael : You are the silent Killer, go back to the annex ** Toby looks at the Camera ** Toby : You'll see.

Toby got strangled during his prison visit, because he taunted/revealed to George Howard Scubb that he was serving time for Toby's crimes!

Most compelling piece of evidence... when everyone is watching the car chase....... Toby’s nowhere to be seen.

Toby confessed to the dude he visited in prison that he knew he was innocent bc he was the strangler. The dude lost it and attacked him...

Do you think Toby imagines everyone of his victims is micheal

Toby mentioned that he was writing a novel “ to frame a murder”

In the scene when they were locked in, Toby just jumped the fence with ease.

Also when Creed was blackmailing everyone by sending them envelopes, Tobe was the only one accepting what Creed wants and we never heard his secret but rest.

This man jumped the fence of dunder mifflin while wearing a trenchcoat. There is no one that can convince me that he is not the strangler.

When Pam was having a baby Toby wasn’t there and since Pam was having a baby toby was mad because he is in love with Pam. Meanwhile Andy has to change the newspaper from “ spring has sprung” to “Scranton strangler strikes again”

only the deepest lore on this show

I love how the back of the Knights of the Night's shirts say "We are unarmed."

Maybe Michael was smarter than we thought, he figured out Toby was the Scranton Strangler. Michael loves his employees so much he couldn’t bear the fact that he couldn’t keep Toby away from them so he selflessly aggravates Toby so if he murders anyone in the office, it’s him. I salute you Michael, you were the best of us.

Toby was upset that Jim and Pam were having a baby, so he killed again.

The reason Toby is so sure the accused suspect isn't the Scranton strangler, is because he is.

This is enough proof that toby is the scranton strangler,the main channel posted this...

If the writers really planned for Toby to be a suspect, they created one of the best thriller tv shows of the decade. If it was all a happy accident, they created one of the best mysteries.

Notice in the first scene: whenever Toby talks about the Scranton Strangler, He starts shaking his leg

smh everyone’s forgetting about Prison Mike, he was never there whenever they mentioned the strangler and stopped making appearances.

You should mention when Toby talks about his novel he’s writing “to frame a murder” which is exactly what he did

Is it just me, or it was much funnier when Toby was "normal" and Michael hated him for nothing? Cause later in the show he actually became annoying lol

Michael: "You are the silent killer, go back to the Anex" Toby: "You'll see.."

THEY ARE WATCHING THE CHASE ON TOBY’S COMPUTER

Michael "You are the silent killer" Toby "You'll see" Oh my god how did I miss that clue.

imagine the chaos Toby and Creed would cause if they were aware of each others capabilities.

"I'm gonna kill him." omg I didn't hear that line when I watched the show.

Maybe Toby became a strangler because after breaking his neck in Costa Rica he realized how fragile the neck is.

Would explain why Toby is so calm when people give him shit, because he releases all that stress and anger on killing people

It's a miracle that Michael survived the series

Of course... it makes perfect sense. The way that Toby gripped Pam’s knee that one time, the way he bolted and jumped the fence, the way he bragged about being the juror to the framed strangler’s court case, the way he never loses his temper so he doesn’t become a suspect, the way he reacted to the police checking his desk... Case closed. I feel bad for him though. Toby’s been through a lot.

This is my favourite conspiracy theory - that Michael's bullying of Toby pushed Toby so much, he broke and became The Scranton Strangler.

This is bittersweet for Michael. I know he's just pissed with all the attention Toby is getting out of this.

The way Toby was letting the office guess the case while rubbing his neck, serial killer attitude right there full of pride and joy.

I've always known there was something very wrong with Toby.

If an Office member isn't a suspect, then why have the Scranton Strangler as a story-line?

Toby keeps on saying George is an innocent man because he is. Toby wants people to recognise him for being the Scranton Strangler because he wants attention and to be remembered as something other than a lame boring person. Toby wants to be found out.

4:38 I genuinely find it REALLY CUTE and FUNNY when Michael gets to see the strangler chase drive by and everyone else misses it. His expressions are priceless.

The show is off TV for years and still trending high good for them I love the show.

Lmao this video is genius ,, please office youtube person make more

Why is no one talking about how Toby likes to write crime novels which is why he's so interested in the case and being dramatic about it.

The best thing is about this show is there is no background laughter ..haha ..that's what makes this show great ..genuine humour.

It all makes sense as to why Toby might be the Scranton Strangler: First of all. Toby has always looked so miserable when he's at work. Whenever he wanted to say something, Michael would interrupt him. Michael didn't like him and didn't trust him. Everybody thought he was boring and weird. He'd also gone through a tough divorce. Then we find out he has a crush on Pam, but he had to watch as Pam fell in love with Jim. He then moved to Costa Rica, and only a few days later he broke his neck when he was zip lining and spent over 4 weeks in the hospital. Things weren't looking good for him and he was just suffering. Then, everybody heard that the Scranton Strangler was being chased by the police. So everybody gathered around Toby's desk to see the police chase the strangler through his computer. But Toby wasn't at work. We could also see that the car that the strangler was in had been in the parking lot at Dunder Mifflin before and that could mean that the strangler was at Dunder Mifflin at some point. Then, when Pam was giving birth to her first child Cece, Toby was the only one from the office who didn't show up. I first thought that it was out of jealously because Pam was with another man. But when Andy had to change the newspaper so it'd match Cece's birthday, it said on the newspaper that the Scranton Strangler has striked again. Again, when Toby wasn't there. When Cece was gonna get baptised at the church, Toby just couldn't go inside for some reason. When the baptism was over and everybody had left. He went inside and said something like "God, why are you always picking on me" or something like that which makes me think that he felt guilty which explains why he tried to convince everybody that the Scranton Stranger wasn't the bad guy. Too many dots connect with him

Here, have some compelling evidence :D - A car from that has been seen in the office parking lot can be seen in the car chase, ( if you want to see the car, the episode in which it is most clearly shown is the parkour episode, where they're jumping over the cars ) - For someone so bland, he wants to reach out and have connections, he knows he needs to seem more interesting, but never once does he mention that he does anything for his physical body, like working out. However, in the episode where everyone's locked in the office, Toby hops the fence with such ease - When Pam is giving birth, everyone but Toby is there. When Andy is replacing yesterday's newspaper, it said on that days' newspaper "Scranton Strangler Strikes Again", meaning Toby might've strangled someone earlier that day - Another reason he might not have shown up when Pam was giving birth, was because it definitely hurt him to see that the woman he loved was having a child with someone else, and ended up taking it out on someone, strangling them - Not to mention how many times he sounds kind of ominous; Toby'll respond with something like= "I'm gonna kill him." "You'll see." "I'm gonna murder someone." - Also maybe a little foreshadowing when Michael says "You are the silent killer." - Toby always gets nervous when the Scranton Strangler is mentioned, his leg starts shaking. - He loves the mystery genre, he even writes books about getting away with crime. - When you see Toby coming out of the jail after being strangled, you see his hand is holding his neck in an unnatural way to help comfort something that hurts, he holds it from 'above' almost and the way his hand is positioned looks like the way someone would choke another person from the front. - Toby always mentions how he truly believes George Howard Skub is innocent, and that he was pressured to convict. (keep in mind pressured to convict in the next piece of evidence) - Toby clearly felt WAY too guilty about sentencing someone who was widely believed to be a murderer to death, however Toby is easily susceptible to peer pressure, but he stands strongly by the fact he believes George Howard Skub is innocent. - Outside the church, when Pam and Jim are getting Cece christened, Toby never goes inside the church until the Christening is over, he goes inside, looks at the stained glass picture of God and he says "You and me got a lot of catching up to do." - When everyone is watching the car chase at TOBY'S desk, the phone rings. Someone called Toby's phone directly, without having to be transferred by reception. - ( I'm not exactly sure on the timeline for this ) When Toby goes to Puerto Rico, he injures his neck. Maybe he realizes how fragile the neck is as a part of the body and that's way he becomes a strangler - Toby was SO EXCITED to be a part of the jury of the case of the Scranton Strangler, because that meant he got away with it and talked about it constantly. - Toby - as an HR rep - KNEW the cops could search his desk if they wanted to, and was very panicked, more than a clean person should. - Toby was also much more submissive to Creed when he blackmailed everyone, especially as someone who was a watered down goody-two-shoes. In this episode, he also defends Creed, desperately trying to stay on his good side because his evidence of blackmail was much more severe than everyone else's. - Toby ( from his own perspective ) thought he might've had nothing to lose, he was divorced, everyone at his work hated him, even at the Dundies, Michael drives it into Toby's head that he was disgusting, and no one wanted him around. And because he definitely had well-kept, pent up anger because of what was mentioned above, he might've wanted to take it out on other people, but he was too weak to actually finish the job ( In a Behind The Scenes, it's confirmed that the Scranton Strangler was too weak to actually kill his victims ) -- I know that when I mentioned Toby seemed too weak to climb the fence with such ease, he might've seemed stronger than we thought, but still too weak to kill someone -- - I'm not sure what exactly happened at the jail, but it was implied Toby KNEW for a FACT the 'Scranton Strangler' was innocent. He probably went up to the alleged Scranton Strangler, told him he knew he was innocent, and once again framed the 'Scranton Strangler', by choking himself, as the final nail in the coffin OR - Toby went up to the Scranton Strangler, told him he knew he was innocent, and the poor guy, framed, sentenced to life in jail or sentenced to death and the man who framed it for him, convicted him of it, was just only a few feet away and the guy lost it on Toby, then strangled him. - When Michael is forced to do therapy with Toby, Michael makes it clear he didn't want to be there, and when he was done filling in the assessment, Gabe looks at Toby and asks, Gabe: " Is that really how you feel?" Toby: ( hesitantly ) "Yes." Gabe: "You marked 'Severe' in all categories, including 'At risk for homicidal behavior' At which Toby smiles and chuckles - He also CLEARLY makes an effort never to lose his temper, to make it seem like a very unlikely suspect for a crime of any sort. - Toby didn't kill Michael because he was afraid of prison mike :D - When Toby hops the fence in the episode everyone's locked in, another small detail is that he goes in the same direction the car did in the car chase. - Toby mentioned he was writing a novel, the title being, "To frame a murder." Now listen, you're absolutely wonderful for reading this long list of my overthinking brain all the way to the bottom, you're amazing :) I don't know if you could tell, but the reason i have no irl friends is because i overthink the HECC out of everything :D

It's not Toby. It's Gabe. He is the person most mediumly suspected.

Toby is the scraton strangler, in the parking lot, there is that exact car from the chase when micheal, andy and dwight do the 'parkour' scene. Also toby was the only one not at his desk when they were watching the scranton strangler chase. To add to this, when he goes into the prison i believe he told George Howard that he was the strangler and so he got angry and tried to kill him

toby also has the same exact car as the scranton strangler as seen in the parkour episode along with the viewing party episode

after watching this, i highly believe it's toby. i feel like its now so easy to tell. he's so shy and is always shut down, especially by michael, so he just finally lost it

ANDY: I bet he’s wishing he had a hybrid.. KEVIN: No! I bet he’s wishing he was strangling somebody.

THEY LITERALLY JUST ADMITTED ITS TRUE LMAO

Did the official channel just confirm that Toby is the Scranton strangler

7:55 "I put an innocent man on death row" Toby is the Scranton Strangler

Joker is a story about a society driving a good man into madness The office: Hold my beer

Jim - “Sounds like someone’s really trying to convince us that he’s not the Scranton strangler” Dwight - “To my chickens I’m the Scranton strangler” So good

I like how Michael was the only one to catch a glimpse of the Scranton strangler's car. If Toby is the Scranton strangler than that was done on purpose.

When creed was blackmailing people, he showed Toby that Creed knows he’s the strangler, so Toby wouldn’t let them report creed

Toby also taught the office about self protection. Implying he knows how to fight and take people down.

The scene in Season 6 where Oscar admits Toby has gone off the rails since March and Toby doesnt deny it should have been included

The green car that the strangler was driving while the cops were chasing him can be seen in the Dunder Mifflin parking lot in several episodes. Also, Toby is the only one not there while everybody is watching the car chase on tv.

Is The Office finally confirming a fan theory?

The official Office RU-vid channel is acknowledging this theory??!?

Toby wasnt there when they were all waiting for the strangler to be caught...

Just left work after a very hard week and then I see Toby in the thumbnail. It can't get any worse than this

i just realized toby never killed michael. toby probably feels internally guilty for his crimes, and because michael ridicules him so much, toby believes he deserves to be punished by the words of michael

“You’re the silent killer,” Michael proclaimed. “You’ll see.” Toby whispered ominously

Toby is definitely the Scranton strangler let's look at his life his ex wife divorced him and re-married and he doesn't see his daughter but most likely pays alot in child support. He works for HR, he's hated by his boss and other co-workers. The girl he falls in love with Pam Marry's Jim and has two kids, also do you notice he moves to Costa Rica after Kevin mentioned to Jan they found the body of one of the Scranton strangler's victim? Do you notice the killings completely stop then restart when he moves back? Also I think everyone in the office knows he's the Scranton strangler but simply ignore it. The fact that he's always trying to convince anyone who listens that the man they convicted is actually innocent proves he's the actual killer and his colleagues most likely know it's him because in the episode The Chase he calls the office and his number pops up on the screen.

At 3:17 He literally says 'I'm gonna kill him' Part of me thinks that after season 9, Dwight Jr became the next victim of the Scranton strangler

All of the Scranton strangler mentions happen after toby breaks his neck in Costa Rica, and one of the first times were introduced to the Scranton Strangler is when pam, his longtime crush, is having a baby with another man.

Theory: (not mine btw) Toby’s “accident” in Costa Rica was a failed suicide attempt

Scranton Strangler is the person whom I most medium suspect ... it's Phyllis along with Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration

When Michael says “youre the silent killer go back to the anex” and toby says “you'll see” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN-

He definitely is think about it he’s in love with Pam and he killed the day Pam gave birth

When Toby introduces himself to Robert California he introduces himself as Tony by mistake. The name he probly used when meeting his victims...

Guys. What about the fact that Toby knows he is being filmed at the office and still makes the decision to revisit a felony by talking about it constantly. That is what a criminal does- revisit the scenes of the crime. If he was the strangler would he really talk about this in front of the cameras? Unless he is insane or unstable, which could be true ofc.

The real question is: why did Dwight have to bring cats into this?

Yeah it's definitely Toby.

I'm really into crime docs, and this was recommended to me... I've never been so confused...

Toby: *Exists* Micheal: And I took that personally

Honestly I think it’d be hilarious if Toby wasn’t the strangler and he’s just receiving the accusations of being a murderer and everyone going along with it

Am I the only one who felt sorry for Toby and just wanted him to yell at Micheal once

3:18 *"I'm gonna kill him."* -Toby Flenderson

Many reasons why there are many red flags it's Toby: (Sorry I kind of jumbled everything around, and kind of went over things a few times to make other points) 1) Pam gets married, and there is a strangling. 2) CeCe gets baptised, and there is another strangling, and gets chased and gets away. 3) Toby is not at his desk or at work that entire day in #2. " 4) The strangler drives passed Dunder Mifflin. Roads that Toby would be very well traveled in and know very well. 5) Toby wouldn't let it go that he was SURE he put the wrong person away. Guilty conscious. Many times, and in the vast majority of cases, if the police do get the wrong person, in cases of serial killers, the serial killer will usually come out with a letter saying it's not him. Toby clearly isn't a bad person and cares for people, but he has a mental issue where anger, anxiety and pressure builds up into him until he just explodes and gets violent. We never see the violent side of him, but he's clearly the kind of person that you can do literally anything to him and he just walks away but holds it in himself. 6) He went to meet the person who was thrown into prison. (Returning to the scene of the crime kind of thing), and wanting to meet the consequences of his actions in putting the man away. We don't know what was said in the confrontation either, and Toby may have let it slip that he was infact the strangler, and that's why he was attacked. 7) Already kind of said it in the points, but specifically, stranglings, and situations with the strangler seem to happen around events with Pam. "Strangler Strikes Again!" was shown when they were having the baby. The first time would be when Pam and Jim got married, second time when they were having a baby, third time was when CeCe got baptized and the very next episode was again him not at his desk as the strangler was getting chased. 8) Toby was writing a novel about framing someone for an actual murder, before someone else is falsely accused of being the strangler. 9) Micheal may be an idiot, but he's a very good identifier of personalities and people in general. The fact Micheal completely hates on Toby and only Toby, may be that his instincts are just kicking off about Toby, that something isn't right about him, and that's why Micheal acts so mean towards him. 10) The car Chase, is the same car and color that's in the parking lot every time Toby is at work. 11) All the stranglings seem to happen AFTER Pams marriage with Jim, and it's clear Toby really likes Pam and wants to be with Pam. Toby entered the Church just fine on their wedding day. He was still holding out that it might not all work out. This is proven when Toby was smiling saying maybe it'll fall apart, because they were hours late, then his face just goes from happy to completely destroyed when he turns around and see's them walking in. However, after 2 stranglings happened, as seen on CeCe's day she was born, at CeCe's baptism, Toby would not enter the Church anymore, and when he finally did, he asked God why God was always so mean to him. It's cleary he has issues to work out with God ever since the Marriage, and last time he was in a Church. He blames God for his misfortunes, and unlucky life, and now that he's strangled 2 people, he's afraid to enter the Church ever since. This is again supported by the fact he originally had no issues on the marriage day entering the Church, and the two stranglings which happened between the marriage, and baptism.
