Dunder Mifflin back in business (sort of): The Office cast reunites for AT&T Ad

[Enter Stage Rite]

 

 

Fans of the beloved mockumentary sitcom “The Office” have been treated to a delightful surprise with the release of a new AT&T Business commercial featuring several familiar faces. The ad campaign, titled Dream with Rainn, sees Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute), Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly), Craig Robinson (Darryl Philbin), Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone), Kate Flannery (Meredith Palmer), and Creed Bratton (Creed Bratton) reunite, albeit not as their iconic characters.

 

In the commercial, Wilson portrays himself launching a new business venture, Sleep With Rainn, which offers a unique sleep aid—a pillow embedded with speakers that play Wilson's soothing voice narrating sleep meditations. The ad follows the highs and lows of their startup journey, showcasing the importance of a reliable network (courtesy of AT&T Business) for small businesses to thrive.

 

 

 

The commercial cleverly pays homage to “The Office” through winks and nods to the show's signature humor. For instance, the chaotic struggle to open a jammed conference room door directly mirrors a similar scene from the show’s famous Stress Relief episode.

 

While fans might yearn for a full-fledged “Office” reboot, this ad campaign provides a satisfying dose of nostalgia and a glimpse into the camaraderie that still exists between the cast members.
