How to get Cyberpunk 2077 The Office easter egg? (Big in Japan side job)

The Office easter egg comes in the Big in Japan side job. You unlock this when you visit Rogue for the first time at the Afterlife after the Relic Heist goes bust. You'll come across Dennis, who wants you to transport cargo from point A to B.

When you go to collect the cargo, you find out that it's a man. Dennis asks you to carry him to the destination while fending off Tyger Claw enemies. Once you deliver the man to Dennis, there's a hilarious conversation among the three that's a clear nod to a popular The Office gag.

When asked who the man is, Dennis calls him Haruyoshi and asks him to tell his story. The man says:

"In Japan, brain surgeon, top of all. Good instinct. One day, Tyger Claw boss need surgery. But boss die on table! Tyger Claws very angry. I hide in boat, swim to America. Here Dennis save me. But there is secret-I kill Tyger Claw boss on purpose. World best surgeon make no mistake!"

The dialogue is a direct reference to a scene in the episode Happy Hour in Season 6. Dennis is based on Craig Robinson's Darryl Philbin and Haruyoshi on Hidetoshi Imura's Hidetoshi Hasagawa. In that scene, the latter quips:

"In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America. No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car, and new woman. Darryl save life. My big secret: I kill yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!"

There are two more dialogue prompts with the surgeon in Cyberpunk 2077 after this:

• What's your name?
• Where are you from?

In both cases, he replies, "Brain surgeon, world best. Good instinct!"

Are there other The Office references in Cyberpunk 2077?

There's a mention of "spontaneous dental hydroplosion" in a readable shard called "Chemicals: The Invisible Killer." The quoted phrase was created by Jim and Pam to prank Dwight in Season 1, Episode 3, "Health Care."
