Guy Who Is a Dead Ringer for The Office’s Jim Halpert Is Really Leaning in Hard

The Office may be over, but one nostalgic TikToker is working on bringing Jim Halpert back to our screens.

Revealing that he gets told that he looks and acts like Jim “every day,” TikTok user Wavy McGrady recently kicked off his John Krasinski lookalike tour by recreating the season 7 scene in which Dwight (Rainn Wilson) asks Jim to be on his best behavior when Jo Bennett (Kathy Bates) stops by Dunder Mifflin to see how Dwight is doing as the acting manager of the Scranton branch.

Using the original audio from the episode, McGrady acts out Jim’s part of the exchange while rocking everyone’s favorite sales guy’s signature button down shirt, tie and tousled hair look.

( function() {
var func = function() {
var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-3d610e845324627e1df6523b1648567f’)
if ( iframe ) {
iframe.onload = function() {
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( {
‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’,
‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-3d610e845324627e1df6523b1648567f’
}, “https:\/\/embeds.time.com” );
}
}

// Autosize iframe
var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) {

var origin = document.createElement( ‘a’ );
origin.href = e.origin;

// Verify message origin
if ( ’embeds.time.com’ !== origin.host )
return;

// Verify message is in a format we expect
if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type )
return;

switch ( e.data.msg_type ) {
case ‘poll_size:response’:
var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );

if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width )
iframe.width = ‘100%’;
if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height )
iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height );

return;
default:
return;
}
}

if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.addEventListener ) {
window.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, false );
} else if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.attachEvent ) {
window.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse );
}
}
if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ }
else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); }
} )();

McGrady went on to do the same with the season 5 scene in which Pam (Jenna Fischer) calls Jim from New York to ask him why none of their coworkers have congratulated her on their engagement.

“I bought this phone from Goodwill cuz everyone asked me to do more here you go,” he captioned the video, which has been liked nearly 293,000 times.

( function() {
var func = function() {
var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-6ebc87a0c968592358cc1f9e7ebe6217’)
if ( iframe ) {
iframe.onload = function() {
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( {
‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’,
‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-6ebc87a0c968592358cc1f9e7ebe6217’
}, “https:\/\/embeds.time.com” );
}
}

// Autosize iframe
var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) {

var origin = document.createElement( ‘a’ );
origin.href = e.origin;

// Verify message origin
if ( ’embeds.time.com’ !== origin.host )
return;

// Verify message is in a format we expect
if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type )
return;

switch ( e.data.msg_type ) {
case ‘poll_size:response’:
var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id );

if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width )
iframe.width = ‘100%’;
if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height )
iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height );

return;
default:
return;
}
}

if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.addEventListener ) {
window.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, false );
} else if ( ‘function’ === typeof window.attachEvent ) {
window.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse );
}
}
if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ }
else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); }
} )();

We can only hope that McGrady plans to continue this hilarious new doppelgänger gig.
