Ryan: Why does everyone keep saying that? He doesn’t look anything like me! I mean, are we both handsome? Of course. Do women swoon over both of us? Definitely! But come on.. it’s just not fair to him to be compared to me. **prolonged shifty eye contact with camera**
Well that's just amazing! Makes me love the movie a little more (It's one of my favorites) - I cant wait to remember this when the holidays come around
Yeah, the good old days when kids movies were about a neglectful family accidentally forgetting a kid at home and that terrified kid fending off criminals trying to harm him. Really brings the season home.😂😂
I know that with Neville in the Harry Potter movies they purposefully did stuff like putting something behind his ears to make them stick out more, and they gave him fake crooked teeth.
Yeah, I especially wonder about that with little kids. Adults are choosing to be in that business; they know what they're doing and presumably can stop. With kids, there's a whole ethical minefield to contend with.
This is a play on a line from the movie Home Alone, where Kevin says "Buzz's girlfriend... WOOF" Like a dog to imply that she was ugly. At the end of the series, Ryan created a social media company called Wuphf.
The joke is just that he looks like Zach Braff to them.
They are just being mean middle schoolers in another language.
Also I can confirm this was a funny bit in the mid 2000s when scrubs/garden state was popular.
Idk, but I think there was some overlap between scrubs and the office and they're both from NBC/ABC. Sometimes shows within the same network like to do shoutouts to eachother without context.
If I remember the line correctly she says “this is the boy that Kelly likes”.
Nothing crazy but figured people would be interested in what she actually said.
She 100 percent said the zach braff thing. Also you can hear her actually say zach braff so that tracks
What kills me is how bad the accent hit my ear and I probably have the worst indian accent ever being born in america
You mean they speak Hindi with American accents and English with Indian accents? They are probably exaggerating the Indian accent while speaking English for people who expect them to sound like Apu. They don’t bother with the Hindi accent as only people who speak Hindi would notice
A woman I know is Belgian and has lived in the United States for decades. She has a thick French accent. When she goes home to Belgium they tease her for her thick southern accent.
The funniest part of this scene is when she says their names, two of them have traditional Indian names and then one of them is just Tiffany. And she's Kelly.
I never noticed and think it's because I know quite a few thrid culture kids and they are very interesting language-wise.
Some of them switch accents depending who they are talking to.
I know kids who can but won't speak their first language to their parents(because they know English), but will speak it to the grandparents and other relatives who don't speak English, they will speak with neutral accent to their foreign born parents (more clear, easier to understand to a foreigner but still words are properly pronounced) and they use the local accent talking to their siblings and friends. If you ask them to change it and "speak British to your mum" they say they can't.
They usually can mock their parents accent extremely well too.
Maybe it was an error, but
Tldr: it is possible Kelly's sister's change their accent depending where they are.
Some people are also more in touch with their origin language and culture as a kid, and drift apart as they get older. I grew up in an immigrant Cuban household. I learned Spanish first and was immersed in the Cuban culture because of my mom and her family. But as I grew older, I learned English, mostly forgot Spanish, and I’m not that in touch with my Cuban side anymore, now that I moved away.
I'm not feeling so well. I've got a ton of work to do here.
MSG allergy, peanut allergy, I just ate there last night. Doctor appointment, car trouble, plantar warts, granddad fought in World War II. Use your head, man. Look alive, Halpert.
Kelly likes zack braff
Ryan: Why does everyone keep saying that? He doesn’t look anything like me! I mean, are we both handsome? Of course. Do women swoon over both of us? Definitely! But come on.. it’s just not fair to him to be compared to me. **prolonged shifty eye contact with camera**
Fun Thing: In the german dub, Zach Braff as JD in Scrubs and Ryan Howard have the same voice actor
That is a fun thing
German efficiency wins again
I have it on very good authority that within 20 years, everyone will be speaking German. Or a German-Chinese hybrid.
Are you sure? Isn’t your German mostly pre-industrial and mostly religious?
"Kelly, your boyfriend, WUPHF"
Fun fact: they used a picture of a boy for Buzz’ girlfriend because they didn’t want to make a girl feel bad.
The art director’s son wearing a wig!
I thought it was the directors kid but nonetheless a true story
Well that's just amazing! Makes me love the movie a little more (It's one of my favorites) - I cant wait to remember this when the holidays come around
If you're on reddit a lot you'll get to remember it many many times.
"Dude did you know viggo mortenson actually broke his toe when he kicked the helmet in this scene"
Fun fact: they used a picture of a boy for Buzz’ girlfriend because they didn’t want to make a girl feel bad.
If you think that’s great wait till you hear about Steve Buscemi
He’s a girl in a wig?
No, that animal blundetto. Whatever happened there
I'm glad I called *that* guy
Ha
Yeah, the good old days when kids movies were about a neglectful family accidentally forgetting a kid at home and that terrified kid fending off criminals trying to harm him. Really brings the season home.😂😂
To hell with Pam’s landlord I guess.
I've always wondered how they cast “ugly kid” etc
I know that with Neville in the Harry Potter movies they purposefully did stuff like putting something behind his ears to make them stick out more, and they gave him fake crooked teeth.
I mean more like agents or even casting calls -”looking for hairy fat person for role”
I mean to be fair “ugly” is not the same as “hairy and fat”
As fat and/or hairy I agree
Hey homie, are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see ;)
They'll use words like "homely," but pretty much yeah that's what they do.
Yeah, I especially wonder about that with little kids. Adults are choosing to be in that business; they know what they're doing and presumably can stop. With kids, there's a whole ethical minefield to contend with.
Sign me up fam
Brilliant choice tbh!
Huh
Look it’s Ry from WUPHF!
It’s Ryan the WUPHF guy!
It's Ryan, from WUPHF!
"What's he doing up there?! .. WUPHF Condoms! 50,000 condoms outta the sky!"
"As God as my witness, I thought condoms could fly!" Or something like that.
Kelly, your boyfriend, WLHUNG.
You a big William Hung fan?
Why does everyone ask me that? Who the hell is that?
👏🏽
Read this in Lord Flasheart’s voice
🤣well I don’t even need to ready any other answers now
What does mean wuphf
This is a play on a line from the movie Home Alone, where Kevin says "Buzz's girlfriend... WOOF" Like a dog to imply that she was ugly. At the end of the series, Ryan created a social media company called Wuphf.
Washington University Public Health Fund
"I hear he started the fire!"
Fire-d guy
Nice one Kev
What about Fire Girl?
Too soon.
"The pita's always burning..."
It was only burning while the world was turning
Laughed at this one
He looks like a Shoe Bitch.
Kelly Zach Braff ko pasand karti hai Kelly likes Zach Braff
I’m not understanding why she would say that when seeing Ryan for the first time.
The joke is just that he looks like Zach Braff to them. They are just being mean middle schoolers in another language. Also I can confirm this was a funny bit in the mid 2000s when scrubs/garden state was popular.
Idk, but I think there was some overlap between scrubs and the office and they're both from NBC/ABC. Sometimes shows within the same network like to do shoutouts to eachother without context.
NBC and abc are different networks though. Competing networks.
Sorry, I meant that there was an overlap when they were with on NBC. Scrubs switched to ABC after the Diwali episode but in 2006, they were both NBC.
That's right I forgot scrubs was on both networks. So yeah could be some cross promotion.
If I remember the line correctly she says “this is the boy that Kelly likes”. Nothing crazy but figured people would be interested in what she actually said.
The correct translation is “Kelly likes Zach Braff” and their Hindi accent is very American
Well someone here is a big ol stinky liar! Now which one of y’all is it??
The second one is correct* “Kelly likes Zach Braff”
The second one is a liar or is the truth? See Kevin, thats the problem with your method, you need to use more words!
Mine is correct. The quote is “केली जैक ब्राफ को पसंद करती है” or phonetically “Kelly Zach Braff ko pasand karti hai”
That’s a wrap.
With hummus
And a cookie cookie
You touched it with your hands
Try my cookie cookie!
It had Toby’s babaganoush!
If we don’t patronize the only Syrian restaurant in town, all that’s left will be pan pizzas and, you know… make your own salads
and the blue busty gal, who's she?
Why waste time say lot words when few words do trick?
See world
Sea world?
No, see the world
She 100 percent said the zach braff thing. Also you can hear her actually say zach braff so that tracks What kills me is how bad the accent hit my ear and I probably have the worst indian accent ever being born in america
And Ryan says it afterwards
> asks for wrong answers > calls someone a liar when they give a wrong answer
Me knowing Hindi and not knowing Zach Braff was so confusing. I couldn’t figure out what Kelly liked!
You can't do it all on your own, cause you know, you're no superman.
Even though Ryan says “they said something about Zach Braff“ ?
Wouldn't it be accurate for it to be American? They were born in America
Yes, it seems appropriate that they have an American accent
They would be called desi
ABCD
And I find it funny how they speak hindi with such heavy accents in all anerican shows yet also speak hindi with an American one
You mean they speak Hindi with American accents and English with Indian accents? They are probably exaggerating the Indian accent while speaking English for people who expect them to sound like Apu. They don’t bother with the Hindi accent as only people who speak Hindi would notice
A woman I know is Belgian and has lived in the United States for decades. She has a thick French accent. When she goes home to Belgium they tease her for her thick southern accent.
I was curious actually! She must be saying sarcastically or something right? Thanks for the translate friend-o!
you, my fellow human, are the best 🙏🏽
"You know how I know he's gay?"
He macraméd himself a pair of jean shorts?
"He liked my Facebook photos at 3 am."
That’s gay?
That sounds like you should stay away from Ryan
3am is the gayest time to like pics, didn't you know?
He listens to Coldplay
I saw you make a spinach dip in a loaf of sourdough bread once.
He has a bumper sticker that says “cowboys butts drive me nuts”
He likes it when balls are in his mouth?
"Big William Hung fan?"
Because he listens to Coldplay
The funniest part of this scene is when she says their names, two of them have traditional Indian names and then one of them is just Tiffany. And she's Kelly.
Love this joke because it's very true of first generation American families from many countries. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTN1UG4rw/
You don't think that's a personal choice?
I’ll start: “Kelly should have accepted the arranged marriage. Dad has better taste in men than she does!”
Kelly’s boyfriend looks like a short skinny Zach Braff.
"They should've put him in custardy"
“Kelly’s his biggest flan!”
Pudding….. trying to think of another one
“Look, Kelly’s boyfriend is just as hot as Jan, but in a different way.”
"*I wonder if he knows, she wasn't even sad at our sister's funeral....*"
I always wondered why Kelly’s sisters have such strong accents
I never noticed and think it's because I know quite a few thrid culture kids and they are very interesting language-wise. Some of them switch accents depending who they are talking to. I know kids who can but won't speak their first language to their parents(because they know English), but will speak it to the grandparents and other relatives who don't speak English, they will speak with neutral accent to their foreign born parents (more clear, easier to understand to a foreigner but still words are properly pronounced) and they use the local accent talking to their siblings and friends.

I’m a grown ass man and I switch accents based on who I’m talking to lol I don’t necessarily mean to, but code switching is definitely a thing
I never thought about that, good point
Some people are also more in touch with their origin language and culture as a kid, and drift apart as they get older. I grew up in an immigrant Cuban household.

That guy plays first base for the philadelphia phillies?
Our dead grandmother came to me in a dream last night. She should wait for Ravi.
That mother fucker has a big ass head.
"that tall skinny white boy has no idea what he is getting into, haha!"
Tall?
“Not you, you’d be like a little boy who’s lost his balloon”
Nellie mocking Ryan awakens something in me
Little old man boy
She said "Kelly Zach Braff ko pasand karti hein", which literally translated to "Kelly likes Zach Braff".
Your boyfriend looks like he’d poison his own baby and run away with you type
“His thing is so small, if it was an Ipod it’d be a shuffle”
"Do you think he's ever been to Jitters?"
Try my cookie cookie
This is so irrelevant but I went to middle school with that girl! Her name was Jaysha. Small world.
Hey it’s Ryan from wuphf
The ry guy!
Googi Googi Googi!
Slap!!!!
"Kelly likes Zach Braff"
I thought she said he was the hottest in the office.
He never made a sale did he?
Has he lost his mind? I wonder if someone can help him find it
“He’s the Brad to her Angelina”
Does one of them die?
More important question-which one died?
“I want to give that that little old man boy a noogie, but I don’t know how much his last haircut cost.”
"He wants an Xbox but ps3 is better" 😂😂😂 (I like all consoles I just was trying to make a funny)
They said:"Isn't Rajanigandha a boy's name?"
"I'll bet he has tried her googi-googi!"
I heard he wanted to buy an Xbox and we know Playstation is better
Look It's Ryan from WHPHF.com!
rayan started the fire 🔥
They said Ryan looked like Zach Braff
He looks like Zach braff.
He looks very successful for his age
“He has a lot of confidence for a short skinny man”
Anyone speak fluent Indian who can actually translate?
*Native American
You seem like the person who'd say "you look 'how do you say' radiant tonight" to a lady in Winnipeg who's been speaking English to you.
Anyone? There are like a billion people who can do this.
Bravo 👍🏼
I'm not feeling so well. I've got a ton of work to do here. MSG allergy, peanut allergy, I just ate there last night. Doctor appointment, car trouble, plantar warts, granddad fought in World War II. Use your head, man. Look alive, Halpert.
Kelly likes BJs
“I heard he started a fire…”
He looks like he smells like mayonnaise.
Ryan started the fireee.
"I heard he once defrauded some shareholders...."
I'm from India so I know Hindi but I couldn't for my life figure out what she was saying. The accent is too thick
Maybe it’s Tamil?
It isn't. They speak Hindi with a heavy accent. They say, "Kelly Zack Braff ko pasand karti hai", which translates to "Kelly likes Zack Braff".
He looks so broke he can’t afford an X-Box 😂🤣
That’s the FIIRREE GUYYYYYY
Something about Zach Braff
I guess the rest of the characters have been speaking some foreign language the whole time!
Look how tall that guy is
Something about Zac Braff obviously
Native language lol
He loves ketchup.
"It's the fire guy"
“Kelly! How are you?? Welcome to my convenience store!”
“This little fairy looks nothing like Zach Braff”
They say: "Kelly aap ko buhat pasand karti hai" --> Basically, "Kelly likes you".
They definitely say "Zach Braff" and Ryan himself repeats that they mentioned Zach Braff
My dog is getting old and sometimes it makes me versad
“Who’s the gora?”
“I can’t wait to wear his face”
“Fire guy”
KELLY, A BOY😨👉
Gulabi?
Would
“He’s gay? I like gay guys.”
Ftf
That’s the guy who bets on my sister all the time
He loves ketchup
He looks like a nimble dancer!
