Kevin Malone, the bumbling sitcom legend, recounts the detailed process that goes into preparing his famous chili in a voiceover during one of the best opening scenes from the American version of The Office.

In the episode "Casual Friday," he enters Dunder Mifflin, eager to show off his handiwork, only to dump the entire pot all over the floor and crawl around in it, attempting to rescue the yummy goop. It's a scene to behold.
