The Office CPR Training Turns Into a Complete Disaster
This clip captures The Office at its best: an ordinary workplace training session becomes a showcase for Michael’s reckless confidence, Dwight’s alarming enthusiasm, and the ensemble’s perfectly escalating reactions. The “Stayin’ Alive” CPR beat, the “I Will Survive” mix-up, and the dummy-assisted chaos make this a particularly strong pick for fans who enjoy the show’s physical comedy and awkward group dynamics, while also offering a memorable highlight from Season 5’s “Stress Relief.”
After Dwight’s disastrous fire drill sends Stanley to the hospital, the Dunder Mifflin crew is forced to take a CPR training class. Naturally, Michael Scott manages to turn a potentially lifesaving lesson into one of the funniest scenes in The Office.
The instructor tells Michael to perform chest compressions to the beat of “Stayin’ Alive,” which somehow leads to singing, dancing, and an argument over whether the song is actually “I Will Survive.” Then Dwight gets involved with the CPR dummy, and things go completely off the rails.
The unforgettable scene comes from the Season 5 episode “Stress Relief,” which originally aired in 2009.
The Office is streaming on Peacock.
