Some of the best moments from The Office include Creed Bratton quotes. The character of Creed Bratton is mysterious to say the least. Usually a background character, it isn't found out until season 3 that Creed's actual job at Dunder Mifflin has to do with quality assurance, and he even isn't truly sure what his role is there. All that is truly known about Creed was that he was a hippie in the '60s and has worked for Dunder Mifflin for quite some time. Otherwise, Creed throws in some truly bizarre quotes from time to time that let audiences know he's a quiet force to be reckoned with.

Funnily enough, Creed was almost fired from The Office in season 2. The Office creator Greg Daniels needed to let one background character go, and decided to have Creed and Devon (Devon Abner) battle it out by filming Michael fire both employees in season 2, episode 5, "Halloween," to see who deserved a place on the series. Creed hilariously convinced Michael not to fire him, and he remained on the show for the rest of its run. Had he gotten the axe in season 2, viewers wouldn't have been graced with the sheer amount of iconic Creed Bratton quotes that have come from The Office.

15 "I’ve Been Involved In A Number Of Cults, Both As A Leader And A Follower. You Have More Fun As A Follower. But You Make More Money As A Leader."

Season 4, Episode 1, "Fun Run"

The reason Creed quotes are so hysterical is that they are mostly known for being completely unprompted, out of nowhere, and end up being more confusing as he brings up tidbits about his life but never fully explains the entire story. In The Office season 4, episode 1, "Fun Run," Michael organizes a 5k for Meredith after she is bitten by a bat and has to get rabies shots.

In a non-sequitur moment, Creed claims to have been a part of several different cults over the years and has even led a few of them in his time. These Creed Bratton quotes, along with the time he told Andy that he kissed Squeaky Fromme, led to a fan theory that Creed was a part of the Manson family. Any other character saying this wouldn't be believable, but because it's Creed, there's a chance it's all true.

14 "Nobody Steals From Creed Bratton And Gets Away With It. The Last Person To Do This Disappeared. His Name? Creed Bratton."

Season 5, Episode 5, "Crime Aid"

In "Crime Aid" Michael and Holly accidentally leave the building unlocked after a nighttime rendevouz, leading to the office being burglarized. Therefore, Michael holds a fundraiser while frantically trying to throw the blame off of himself. The episode in question prompts one of the most memorable Creed Bratton quotes.

Creed admits to the cameras that his real name isn't even Creed Bratton, and apparently, the real Creed Bratton stole from him so he either killed him and took on his identity, or he just stole his identity. Creed never fully explains what he means by this, and he says that he has another identity that he blames issues in his life on when the authorities come after Creed Bratton. This random line makes the audience wonder, yet again, what exactly Creed gets up to when he's not in the office.

13 "If My Parents See This, I'm Toast."

Season 9, Episode 22, "A.A.R.M."

Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of good episodes of The Office after Michael Scott left. The two-part episode just before the series finale sees the documentary finally preparing to see the light of day. As the documentary the crew has been making about Dunder Mifflin prepares to air, Creed becomes worried when he's told that it's going to air that night.

He pauses, gets scared, and says one of the funniest Creed quotes, saying that his parents are going to be so upset when they see this documentary air on television. The joke is the fact that Creed's parents are even still alive and care what their grown adult son is up to. However, Creed's parents actually make an appearance in The Office, season 8, episode 24, "Free Family Portrait Studio." It's a typical Creed quote that is hilarious and yet really doesn't make sense.

12 "The Only Difference Between Me And A Homeless Man Is This Job. I Will Do Whatever It Takes To Survive Like I Did When I Was A Homeless Man."

Season 3, Episode 20, "Product Recall"

The best Creed Bratton quotes have to do with his mysterious past, and this one takes the cake. Creed has a rich past that he alludes to in his quotes throughout the series, but the audience never gets a clear and full picture of Creed's life before he worked at the office or even what he does outside of office hours.

In The Office episode "Product Recall," Creed gets in hot water after being responsible for not performing quality assurance checks before reams of paper were delivered to a local high school that had lewd watermarks on them. He comes up with an elaborate plan, that involved getting someone else fired, so he doesn't have to take responsibility for the mistake and be able to keep his job. This particular Creed quote about the matter speaks to his own ambition and the lengths he'll go to do what he needs.

11 "I Am Not Offended By Homosexuality. In The '60s, I Made Love To Many Women, Often Outdoors In The Mud And Rain. It’s Possible A Man Could’ve Slipped In There. There’d Be No Way Of Knowing."

Season 3, Episode 1, "Gay Witch Hunt"

One of the best Creed quotes does alleviate the tension of what would otherwise be a somewhat politically incorrect The Office episode. In The Office episode "Gay Witch Hunt," Michael wrongly tells the entire office that Oscar is gay.

This faux-pas creates commentary throughout the episode on each employee's personal views on homosexuality, including Creed's completely accepting view. Creed, again, brings up tidbits about his past life, including his sex life in the 1960s, that evokes the 60s mentality of free love — and it seems completely in character for Creed to have been part of the movement.

10 "I Already Won The Lottery. I Was Born In The U-S Of A, Baby."

Season 8, Episode 3, "Lotto"

The reason Creed quotes are so funny is mostly that they're quite unexpected. When the warehouse workers win the lottery in The Office season 8, episode 3, the ripple effect reaches the office workers, who begin to wonder what they would do with the money if they were to win the lottery.

Each of the office mates sits around fantasizing about their rich dreams, and Andy can't seem to get them to get back to work. Creed is the only person who isn't interested in winning the lottery — because, by his logic, he already won the lottery by being born in the United States of America.

9 "I've Never Owned A Refrigerator Before."

Season 2, Episode 22, "Casino Night"

The Office episode "Casino Night" is arguably when Creed began to worm his way into the foreground of the cast, as the installment contains a couple of the best Creed Bratton quotes. In episode 22 of season 2, the memorable "Casino Night," the person with the most chips at the end of the night gets a mini-fridge courtesy of Vance Refrigeration.

Creed Bratton immediately puts his plan into action and starts cheating and stealing to get to the top. He wins the fridge, at which point Creed makes the bizarre declaration that he's never owned a refrigerator before, one of the many things about Creed Bratton that make no sense.

8 "We Should Hang Out By The Quarry And Throw Things Down There."

Season 5, Episode 9, "Frame Toby"

One has to wonder what Creed Bratton does in his spare time. It's a good bet that he commits some kind of crime, but not all the time when he's outside of the office. He may well have admitted to one of his preferred activities with one of the more bizarre Creed quotes in The Office season 5, episode 9, "Frame Toby."

In the episode Phyllis asks Jim where he lives, and he gives his address and adds that it's by the quarry. Also in the break room at the time, Creed immediately perks up. "Cool beans," he says, before launching into a friendly invitation to hang out by the quarry and throw things down there. Jim certainly doesn't know how to respond, and neither does the audience.

7 "Later, Skater."

Season 4, Episode 2, "Dunder Mifflin Infinity"

The Office episode "Dunder Mifflin Infinity" sees Michael Scott trying to thwart Ryan's plans for bringing Dunder Mifflin into the 21st century after Creed frightens him by suggesting that this movement means everyone over 40 will be fired. Creed Bratton is retirement age, as he reveals to Jan before the Rabies Fun Run.

When Ryan becomes Dunder Mifflin VP and starts bringing in new ideas to make the company younger, Creed tries to make himself seem younger. His solution is to use all the black ink in the copier to dye his hair, and in one of the funniest Creed Bratton quotes, he one-ups himself by going to the vending machine, asking if they can get some Redbull, doesn't wait for a response and turns to Ryan and says, "Later, Skater." It's a perfect example of Creed's mind.

6 "Do You Want To See A Foot With Four Toes?"

Season 2, Episode 18, "Take Your Daughter To Work Day"

The Office episode "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" prompts one of the more memorable Creed quotes and a question that only Creed Bratton would ask. On bring your daughter to work day, Meredith brings her obnoxious son, as well as Toby, Stanley, and Kevin's daughters. Everyone in the office pitches in, trying to show the kids something cool to keep them entertained.

Never one to be outdone, Creed offers to let them see something cool, his own foot, which naturally only has four toes on it. Most of the children think it's a gross idea, but Meredith's son is enthused by the prospect of seeing Creed's foot. In terms of who is worse Meredith or Creed, the answer is usually a tie.

5 "If I Can't Scuba, Then What's This All Been About?"

Season 6, Episode 1, "Gossip"

The Office episode "Gossip" saw Michael once again trying to fix his mistakes of gossiping about the fact that Stanley is having an affair, only to throw a bunch of other random rumors into the mix to try and throw everyone off the scent. In an episode that outed Pam's pregnancy, Stanley's affair, and Michael being a Calvin Klein model, perhaps the most troubling rumor to spring up about anyone was poor Creed, who was rumored to have asthma.

A frantic Creed goes into a panicking fit, trying to root out the source of this most dastardly rumor. "Did one of you tell Stanley that I have asthma? 'Cause I don't. If this gets out they won't let me scuba. If I can't scuba, then what's this all been about?" Aside from the obvious reaction to learning that Creed is learning to scuba, the audience has to admire just how passionate he is about his future in it. It's certainly one of the more bizarre Creed quotes, as he's never mentioned scuba diving before.

4 "Who's Your Worm Guy?"

Season 6, Episode 8, "Koi Pond"

Another foray into the beautiful mind of Creed Bratton. When Michael falls in a koi pond and kills one of the fish in The Office season 6, episode 8, "Koi Pond," he's billed for $300. Michael complains that he can catch the fish himself for a five-cent worm.

Always wanting to be helpful, Creed makes it clear that Michael pays way too much for his "worm," before busting out another one of the most bizarre Creed Bratton quotes, saying, "who's your worm guy?" It's wonderful to think that Creed has an actual worm guy, but The Office has used 'worm' before to refer to pot, which is what Creed could be referring to, fueling only more Creed Bratton fan theories.

3 "Then I'll Have Two Chairs, Only One To Go."

Season 4, Episode 10, "The Chair Model"

This entry to the bizarre Creed Bratton quotes roster is an example of one of the many times where audiences just had to want to know more about what Creed was thinking. In season 4, episode 10, "The Chair Model," Michael is seeking a replacement chair, but naturally, he can't make it easy.

Pam is waiting to get Michael's old chair because her chair has fallen into disrepair. But not so far into disrepair that Creed can't make use of it. According to Creed, when he gets Pam's old chair, then he'll have two chairs. "Only one to go." What Creed could possibly need three chairs for is a mystery, but he seems to know what he's doing.

2 "It's Halloween, That Is Really, Really Good Timing."

Season 9, Episode 5, "Here Comes Treble"

In one of Creed Bratton's most iconic moments, and one of the many things that point to Creed being the Scranton Strangler instead of Toby, he shows up to work in a bloodstained shirt. There have always been suspicions about what kinds of crimes Creed Bratton has committed, and murder has never been ruled out.

However, when he actually does appear with possible evidence all over him, it's Halloween — something Creed didn't know it was Halloween until he showed up to work. Then, in front of the cameras, it dawns on him what day it is. "It's Halloween. That is really, really good timing," he says with a smile.

1 "I Stopped Caring A Long Time Ago."

Season 2, Episode 22, "Casino Night"

One of the best Creed quotes around also came about in "Casino Night," which may just be the first episode that Creed truly dominates from the background. Creed has always been one of the most memorable characters in The Office, and his sobering self-aware admission of why he has such a bizarre philosophy when it comes to living life summarizes why in 7 words.

In The Office's "Casion Night" installment, he is caught stealing, of course, because that's what Creed does, and he admits to the camera that this is just something he does. His reason—"I stopped caring a long time ago." If there was one line that summed up Creed Bratton as a character, this would be it, which is why this is easily the best Creed Bratton quote in The Office.
