'The Office' Set Moment That Caused Ellie Kemper to Pee Her Pants
There are plenty of moments to choose from when it comes to picking your favorite scene from The Office. Naturally the "Dinner Party" episode has a few contenders, then there's the time Kevin dropped his famous chili, or my personal favorite, when Jim impersonates Dwight. However, according to actress Ellie Kemper, the behind-the-scenes laughs with the cast are the ones she remembers most fondly.
Kemper's favorite memory from The Office occurred while filming the season nine episode "Work Bus." Fans will recall that the episode chronicles Dwight forcing the Dunder Mifflin employees to work in the tightly cramped mobile office while their building undergoes repairs. With Dwight driving, everyone sings the "Shabooya Roll Call," a scene which Kemper reveals had her struggling not to laugh. "There was one really funny moment where you had to be there," she explained to Insider. "I'm saying this, but it will not make sense to anyone. It didn't make sense to me at the time. But I was laughing so hard during this song called 'Shabooya' that I just wet my pants."
Kemper continued, "I stood up and I said, 'I have to change my skirt because I wet my pants,' and all the guys were so grossed out. Not one lady batted an eye. They were like, 'Of course you wet your pants. What can we do?'"
