# Days Since Our Last Nonsense Days Since Our Last Nonsense comes from a May 2013 episode of The Office in which Jim holds up a chalkboard counting nonsense-free days before Dwight erases the 5 and writes a 6. Fans began screencapping the scene within days, and by 2015 artists were redrawing it with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure characters. By June 2021, The Office's official Instagram account was captioning the same frame for mental-breakdown jokes. ## Origin The scene aired on May 9, 2013 in 'A.A.R.M.,' Season 9 Episode 22 of The Office[1]. Dwight has been promoted to regional manager, Jim is now his assistant, and the two unveil a 'no nonsense' policy for the Scranton branch. In one shot, Jim holds up a chalkboard reading '5 days since our last nonsense,' and Dwight silently erases the 5 and writes a 6. Tumblr user newfluffytown posted the earliest known upload of the clip, a series of WebP files, on May 10, 2013[4]. - **Platform:** The Office (TV) / Tumblr (earliest upload) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2013 ## Overview Posts in this format usually swap Jim's chalkboard caption for a specific group, situation, or year while keeping the day count stuck at five or six. The screencap from Season 9 Episode 22 works on its own as a reaction[1], and the exploitable version lets users rewrite the board entirely with Photoshop or templates[5]. Dry workplace humor drives the joke. If an office can only hit five or six nonsense-free days, the implication is that nonsense is the baseline state. An image of Mr. Krabs beside a 'Days Without Nonsense' sign from a 2020 SpongeBob SquarePants episode gets slotted into the same framework[3], and edits range from fandom redraws to political image macros to burnout captions posted by official brand accounts[6]. ## How to Use A typical edit keeps Jim and the chalkboard in place and rewrites only the sign's caption, often setting the count to zero, five, or six to imply that nonsense is routine. Common conventions include labeling the office as a specific fandom, country, or year, or redrawing the two characters as figures from another show. The exploitable template circulated on r/MemeEconomy in 2020 made this swap easy[5]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Days Since Our Last Nonsense?
