The Office is a cultural touchstone that launched the careers of multiple comedic actors. But what if those actors... were other actors? That would be CRAZY! And just to feed that imagination, here's who I think they should be:

![Darryl CRACKED.com Danny McBride Funniest guy at the warehouse is pretty spot-on for McBride. Maybe swap the keyboard for a six-string electric bass.](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/6/4/6/794646.jpg)
