<P> The show often uses the joke `` that 's what she said '' which was popularized by the Wayne 's World sketch on Saturday Night Live . In the original BBC version of The Office , Ricky Gervais 's character David Brent frequently used the similar phrase `` as the actress said to the bishop '' as an inappropriate joke . Michael inserts the phrase as a sexually suggestive double entendre even in the most inappropriate circumstances , including business meetings and legal depositions . Michael finds uttering the phrase so irresistible that in `` Sexual Harassment '' he is goaded into saying it just seconds after Jan Levinson and a lawyer from Corporate specifically ask him not to do so . The phrase has become so associated with the character that the television show 30 Rock in the episode `` TGS Hates Women '' there was a scene in which Liz Lemon became infuriated at another character 's use of `` TWSS '' because `` Steve Carell owns ' That 's What She Said , ' okay ? He owns it ! '' In the episode , `` Goodbye , Michael '' , `` that 's what she said '' was Steve Carell 's final ( inaudible ) line as a series regular , and was his first line upon returning as a guest star in `` Finale '' . </P>
