So I'm a freak and because my job hasn't started yet (Monday, Monday...), I went through the deleted scenes of every episode of The Office, and discovered the best of 'em. Some of them are deleted for a reason, though most of them are very, very funny. With that in mind, here's the best of the deleted scenes from every episode in Seasons 1, 2, and 3. I'll update 4 when I see the DVD.
Pilot: Jim describes his job. The accountants introduce themselves. Also, we hear the camera crew speak!!!!!
Diversity Day: INCEST/INSECT. "I could be French." There are good things about Michael. Ethnic festivals in Scranton.
Health Care: Jim and Pam analyze Dwight's signs. Dwight and Jim discuss movies. The scene where Dwight interrogates Pam about Roy's health care is awesome, but almost too painful to watch.
The Alliance: Dwight changes his password. The way Pam answers the phone when she's smiling. The greatest day of Jim's life. Well-played.
Basketball: Dwight loves his dry-erase board. Sharks are playful creatures. Also, you gotta love the Dwangela sort of kind of hints in these deleted scenes...
Hot Girl: Dwight's perfect girl and perfect date. Ryan burns Michael some music. Also, is it just me, or in the conference room scene with Dwight, can you see the name "Andy" on the sales chart?! So precognizant. ;)
The Dundies: Toby's never won a Dundie... and he's more than okay with that. Michael and Jim discuss Kevin's Dundie. Jim's thoughts on the Dundies. Michael doesn’t know what "OPP" means. Michael in an Indian outfit. The continuation of the scene where Pam falls off her chair (Jim holds her!).
Sexual Harassment: "She wouldn't do that. She's a senator" (not the entire "scene," but that line). The hypothetical situation of Michael dating Pam. Michael's rant against Toby. The angry face will sue the winking face.
Office Olympics: "Do we buy a horse on the internet?" Schruteball (I love how Pam's ability to make up clever puns is repeated in "Money"). Police reports in Michael's new neighborhood. Dwight's suggestion for Michael's third room.
The Fire: Dwight tried to write a book about Michael. Kevin counts and Angela disapproves. Jim loves Annie Hall and The Shining!!!! Kevin's choice of Desert Island movies.
Halloween: Michael would fire Toby. We meet the Vance Refrigeration guys ("ass ass ass ass ass!!!"). "It's hard to hit another living thing in the face with a shovel for about an hour." Dwight was put on the Earth to sell paper at Dunder-Mifflin.
The Fight: Dwight's thoughts on Michael in Japan.
The Client: Why Michael has a melon baller in his desk. The end of the reading of Threat Level Midnight. Jim's worst first date (this one SHATTERS MY HEART OMG).
Performance Review: why Oscar exceeded his days off. Dwight's performance review tool in detail, and Jim's performance review tool (Jim. Is Jim. My name is Jim. That's a total waste of your M! One of my favorite deleted scenes.). Michael's terrible misinterpretation of "I am not going to discuss anything outside of Dunder-Mifflin business, period." Jim's metaphors. Ryan goes on a scavenger hunt. Michael is "crystal straight." Pam is very good at what she does. Dwight's reaction to Ryan's performance review. Michael's metaphor for an office.
E-Mail Surveillance: A dinosaur getting ready to go to improv class. Any extra scenes of Michael at improv. Ryan is the Fire Guy.
Christmas Party: Oscar gets trapped. Abso.lutely.not. Kelly was going to throw out a book. Dwight is not at his personal best (uh, does that mean what I think it means, or am I filthy-minded) when he drinks. Oscar and Creed's conversation and Oscar’s following talking head (Oscar is so the star of the deleted scenes in this episode).
Booze Cruise: Toby is the anchor. Toby misses the boat. A monster that eats Catholics. Ryan studying in the bathroom. Michael tries to rock out... and Creed actually rocks out (an added bonus of this scene is how freaking cute Jim and Pam are, even just standing there). Drugs played a part. Darryl and Angela at the bar. Jim's toast for Pam (again, this one SHATTERS MY HEART).

Michael's thoughts on the meeting taking place on Valentine’s Day. Dwight tries to write something. Jim's thoughts on Dwight’s girlfriend. Hey, it's Devon!
Dwight’s Speech: Dwight and his ridiculous sunglasses. Michael's worried about Ryan leaving. Dwight outside the sci-fi convention. Though the part where Michael goes on and on at Dwight's speech is too long, it's really funny when the baby starts crying.
Take Your Daughter to Work Day: We'll teach the kids about obesity. Jim and Sacha (SO CUTE!!!!). Melissa needs to learn why daddy's so cranky when he comes home from work. Kevin wants to pretend to be the head accountant. Sacha and Ryan (SO CUTE!!!!). Jim's certificate for Abby.

Everyone has a motive. Michael's flyers. Jim's got a call from Brenda (and his following talking head). It was the Vance Refrigeration guys after all!
Conflict Resolution: Jim's prank on Dwight's desk. Toby must not kill or rape another person. "I'd tell you, but I'd have to kill you. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!" Michael didn't think Dwight would go postal because he thought Dwight would go postal.
Casino Night: Dunder-Mifflin Mad Libs!!!!!!
Gay Witch Hunt: Andy's calf weights. Dwight can find homosexuals and Communists. Michael knows every kind of person. Jim has respect for his new boss. Wow, Karen is a bitch (there are several scenes that prove that. And yes, I'm sure Team Karen is exploding over this, but you know what? It's part of her personality. She's tough. Sometimes awesome, like when she pranks Jim. And, yes, at times, very bitchy, like when she tells Hannah to "put away her udder".). Pam thinks everyone should stay out of everyone's business. Michael covers himself. Oscar's job interview. Meredith's face when Oscar admits he's gay.
The Convention: Dwight's file for Angela. Dwight gets a man-crush on Josh. Josh on a kibbutz!!!! Cosmos like Carrie Bradshaw (just that line). Josh doesn't want to comment on Jan and Michael.
The Coup: Dwight will protect Angela from abuse and manhandling... but not all manhandling. Schrutes and Mannheims. THE CREED MONTAGE. Pam clips her shirt closed. Michael's attempt to rhyme things with Scott. Phyllis is the first lady of Vance Refrigeration.

Oh God I am shallow and when Ryan was standing there in that t-shirt I was drooling (yes, Ryan). Dwangela outside the school (plus Kelly and Ryan making out and "gonna have sex on Diwali?!"). Scrantonicity for Diwali ’07!
Branch Closing: no deleted scenes
The Merger: Dwight Googled Martin Nash. Jim says hi to Kevin and Angela (I love how Angela says "oh my lord"). Pam and Jim talk (RYAN, WHY ARE YOU AN ASSHOLE.). Andy meets Kevin (BFF!!!!). Kevin does the shredding (what happened to this deleted scene? I only saw it on YouTube.). Martin smells something weird. Kevin gives off the vibe of a guy that's getting thinner.
The Convict: "Did someone bring in a human baby?" Kelly has something to say. Things that Ryan doesn't think are cute. Ryan is not the luckiest guy in the world. Creed's prison wine. Michael will punch Dwight in the tooth (this is even funnier when you see the blooper reel when they couldn't get through it). Dwight's book. Pam gets her "revenge" on Jim. More Prison Mike footage.
A Benihana Christmas: Angela was outraged for baby Jesus. Angela complains to Toby (she slaps him!). If Stanley has to stand, he gets irritated. The Ryan/Kelly scenes are actually totally sweet and I think that kind of stuff is going to come back to bite him in the ass in S5.

Stacking competition. Meredith gets stuck. Michael gives Stanley his bonus... in Jamaican money. Toby’s been to a real luau.
Traveling Salesmen: if it counts as a deleted scene, Harvey (decidedly in my top ten moments in the entire series). Andy and Karen in the break room (if only for the way he hits over the utensil cup). Michael demands punctuality. Doubling things is not a great idea (the way Dwight says "boobs" cracks me up). Kevin's bouncing off the walls. Andy quoting "you the man now, dog"!!!! Jim and Dwight discuss if Andy's out to get Dwight. Jim's license plate. Kevin smells really good. Dwight likes Karen. Phyllis thinks Jim is really hot.
The Return: Oscar comes back (I love how the giant smile on Oscar’s face fades the second Michael says "Oscar is a gay man...")! Oscar wants the people in the office to shut up, but he also wants a home theater. Oscar asks what happened to Dwight. Oscar needs to learn about his culture (yes, the past four sentences started with "Oscar"). Pam and Angela talk. Andy loves Dunder-Mifflin so much he punched a hole in it. Kevin’s thoughts on donkeys/piñatas. KEVIN AND RYAN SINGING!!!!!! Michael will shake his and then Pam will shake hers (no she will not).
Ben Franklin: Pam on the phone to ward off Todd Packer (I love how she very quickly [like suspiciously quickly… /Michael in "The Injury"] says "I don't wear glasses!!!", and then we find out the truth in "Did I Stutter?"). Angela does not give Creed change. The stripper is just so... pale (RYAN LOVES KELLY!!). Dwight interrogates Ben Franklin.
Phyllis' Wedding: Kevin’s proposed to four different girls. Does Dwight know Oscar? Karen ignores Jim for her BlackBerry (cuz she's a craaaazy biiiiitch. ;) ). The Angela/Dennis scenes (especially when he calls her promiscuous!!!). Michael needs dirt on Phyllis. Creed shows Oscar cake. Oscar would like to get married (AHAHAHAH!!!). Michael's toast on the "-tions."
Business School: Jim has some books for Michael. All extra scenes of Michael speaking at Ryan's school. Karen starts to tear down the sign for Pam’s art show...ugh. Jim's never heard the word "leader." Roy and Kenny's scene with Pam at her art show (definitely shows Roy's true colors).
Cocktails: Toby will not do Ryan's dirty work. Yes, boss (is this the Pam/Jim S3 relationship in a nutshell or what?). Oscar and Angela bond (adorable!). Jan's attracted to weird and wrong men. Ryan and Stanley's daughter united! Michael's closing monologue.
The Negotiation: no deleted scenes
Safety Training: "Drew's" cookies (I love how Phyllis says "she's Andy"). Would Andy like not coffee? Drew cares about the environment. Ryan should work out. Michael's Borat impression. Bob Vance calls Phyllis. The employees tell Michael why he shouldn't jump ("you have a cute butt!").
Product Recall: Ryan imitates Kelly. Creed meets the guy who wrote his obituary. Andy in his girlfriend's class ("Doctor Johnson! We need you in surgery right away."). Kevin theorizes about cartoon characters and sex. Michael's apology videos to his condo association and mom. Though the scene in front of the high school goes on too long, I love the little bit where Jim talks to Andy’s girlfriend's friend about The Hills (and Jim's response to "do you have any weed?"). Kelly's apology to Angela. Angela's face after her talking head about Kelly.
Women’s Appreciation: Michael doesn't understand the cartoons in The Wall Street Journal. Kelly screams. Dwight and Andy bond over cold soups. Why can't women have orgasms? Andy lived with a dominatrix. Dwight escorts the women through the parking lot.
Beach Games: We're a regular Ocean’s 11. The torches are lit and Jim is astute. Phyllis thinks Jim would be a good boss. An office-wide "that's what she said!" Kevin's out of it.
The Job: Michael's true thoughts on Toby. Michael describes his new condo. Dwight's thoughts on the new boss. Kelly gives Pam some advice. Dwight and Angela in the boss' office. Kevin might have a gambling problem. "Human skull!" Creed floods the market with Schrute Bucks. Dwight is proud of what he accomplished. Stanley's glad Michael's back. Michael's face as Jan moves into his condo.
