Toby Flenderson
In `` The Negotiation , '' Toby is forced to listen to Ryan and Kelly bickering nonstop when Michael moves Ryan back to the annex . Toby wonders if Michael did this to punish Toby and that if he did , it was a genius move . Toby goes with Michael and Darryl to New York after Jan says she will not do the contract negotiation unless Toby is there . When Michael repeatedly mentions his and Jan 's relationship at that point , Toby takes notes and Michael insults him , but Toby just says he 's `` preparing for the deposition '' that he thinks will inevitably occur because Michael threatened to withhold sex from a female superior in order to get a modest , scheduled raise , commenting , `` It will be a groundbreaking case when it inevitably goes to trial . '' Additionally , when Darryl says he will stay in New York for the night , he tells Toby he can join him and stay at his relative 's house , pointedly not extending the same offer to Michael .
Toby Flenderson
One of Toby 's major appearances was in `` Sexual Harassment , '' where he holds a Sexual Harassment Meeting for the staff , only to be interrupted by Michael and a blow - up doll . Michael then states that everyone is still `` generally quite happy , '' which he thinks is because Toby has not yet had the meeting . In fact , Toby did have the meeting and everyone clapped after he was done , leaving them in a good mood .

Ryan Howard (The Office)
In `` Goodbye , Toby '' Ryan is -- now typically -- curt with Jim . However , it is discovered later that Ryan was misleading the company 's shareholders . In a YouTube video entitled `` Whoaa ! Check it out ! '' , the Scranton branch watches as Ryan is seen being arrested and escorted out of Dunder Mifflin 's New York office by police , much to Michael 's dismay and Jim and Kelly 's pleasure .

When Toby returns to Scranton for the reunion and Angela & Dwight 's wedding , Nellie ( also returning to Scranton from her new home in Poland ) lets the camera crew know she is n't thrilled about seeing Toby again . At the airport , Nellie rebuffs an attempted hug from Toby , snidely brushes aside his comment about a relationship she ended by saying she un-followed him on Facebook and questions him of how long he 's been stalking her ( Toby quietly says anyone can read non-protected tweets ) and declines his offer to share a cab into town . After that point , Toby has no further interactions of any kind with Nellie .
Toby Flenderson
In the episode `` Night Out , '' he puts his hand on Pam 's leg and caresses it for a long , awkward moment , which everyone standing around seems to notice , making this the first time the employees see Toby 's possible crush on Pam . Immediately thereafter , realizing what he had just done , he abruptly announces that he is moving to Costa Rica , runs outside to the security fence , scales it , and disappears into the night . This scene was done by a stunt double , as Lieberstein wanted to do it himself but it was decided for insurance reasons to let the stuntman do his work .
Toby Flenderson
In a deleted scene of `` Local Ad , '' Toby pitches an idea of having a stop motion ad that Michael , of course , puts down although the rest of the office seems to like the idea . When the local ad is being played at the bar , Toby is in the ad , but only briefly . While Michael was shooting the scene of the paper airplane flying out of the hand of Creed towards the conference room window , you see Toby in the conference room packing up whatever work he was finishing . Michael did not want Toby in the video ; however , for a fleeting moment , Toby had managed to unintentionally get a part in the ad .
Toby Flenderson
He once lived in Honolulu for a year and stated in `` Branch Closing '' that he would take severance from the closing , sell his house , and move to Costa Rica . In `` Local Ad , '' it is revealed that he worked in advertising for three years before coming to Dunder Mifflin . Also , according to a deleted scene from the episode `` Launch Party , '' it is stated while Toby is taking a driver 's test that he is colorblind . Toby is also allergic to mushrooms ( `` Survivor Man '' ) .
Toby Flenderson
In `` The Convict , '' Michael jokingly refers to Toby as a rapist , much to the dismay of those present . Later , Toby convinces Michael to release the office employees from the conference room , whom he had locked in there as punishment for unfavorably comparing Dunder Mifflin to a prison .
Toby Flenderson
In the episode `` The Lover '' , Toby is yelled at by both Michael and Jim when he walks in on them just after Michael has told Jim he 's dating Pam 's mom . Later , after Pam blew up at Michael in the conference during an office meeting , Michael comes to Toby desperate to make Pam happy about his relationship with her mother . Toby offers to talk to Pam for Michael and Michael even goes as far as hugging Toby and calls him a good good - guy . Toby is extremely happy at the hope that things will finally change between them that he says `` you know I always knew that if Michael just took the time to get to know me , we would be friends . '' But once Toby is unable to smooth things over , Michael dismisses Toby as a jackass and goes right back to hating him .
Toby Flenderson
Toby only appears in a few episodes , showing up first in a scene in `` Diversity Day , '' in which he jokes about sitting in an Indian Circle ( to which everyone else laughs ) . Michael , having told many more offensive jokes , is offended by Toby 's joke and tells him that `` This is an environment of welcoming , and you should just get the hell out of here . '' Toby does so and the staff suddenly goes very quiet . This is the first instance in the relationship between the two , Toby trying to be responsible , and Michael trying to demean and undermine him as much as possible . In `` Hot Girl , '' Toby is introduced by Michael to Katy the purse saleswoman ; after Toby and Katy begin talking happily about their high school days , Michael deliberately humiliates Toby by mentioning his divorce and how he once briefly had to live in his car . He also notices the picture of Toby 's daughter on his desk , and refers to her as `` cute '' ; however , this is probably a further attempt to portray Toby , a divorced father , as undesirable .
Toby Flenderson
In `` Did I Stutter ? , '' Toby and Ryan together ( who both have a problem with Jim ; Toby dislikes him for dating Pam and Ryan dislikes him for going over his head ) warn Jim on his job performance , citing specifically his indifference toward his job and use of time ( namely `` goofing off with Dwight '' and `` time spent at Reception '' with Pam ) . Toby then says to the camera that Jim 's time spent with Pam `` has finally caught up to him , '' but he repeats Pam 's name several times when unnecessary . Toby later says , though , that he agrees that Jim has good numbers but Ryan thinks they are not good enough . In the same episode , Toby convinces Michael he needs to deal with Stanley for his open insubordination during a staff meeting , though Michael goes about it a different way because Toby 's method `` did not work because it was stupid . '' Michael also says Toby does not have any friends , but Michael does so in the context of stating that Stanley is Michael 's friend , which is later shown to be completely inaccurate as Stanley despises him for his stupidity and is not afraid to confront Micheal about it . It is also shown that Dwight thinks Toby may be Jewish , as Dwight 's org chart shows a blue Star of David with a question mark next to Toby 's name ; Toby did not say what ( if any ) religion he practiced when Michael prodded the staffers to talk about their religious practices in Fun Run . As Toby spent time in a seminary ( as revealed in season five episode `` Casual Friday , '' ) he is most likely a Roman Catholic .
Toby Flenderson
Michael 's hatred for Toby is brought up again in `` The Deposition '' when Michael says he does not want Toby in the deposition and nastily asks if the HR rep is there `` to renew your divorce vows '' ( Toby is also sitting a conspicuous distance from Michael in the uncrowded room being used for the proceedings ) . When the two happen to sit next to each other at lunch , Toby kindly tells Michael that he can relate to Michael 's situation , of Toby 's parents ' divorce . While Toby is talking , Michael pushes Toby 's lunch tray on the floor , then gets up and leaves . Later in the episode , Toby begins to laugh at Michael after learning Michael thinks Ryan is `` hot . '' Also , after Jan 's attorney brings out Michael 's diary , and the head of the deposition says `` Okay , we 'll need ten copies of that diary , '' to which Toby says , `` Make that eleven . '' In a deleted scene , Michael asks Toby if he will tell Meredith that the car accident from Fun Run was Michael 's fault , and Toby nods .
Toby Flenderson
Toby seems to want Michael 's friendship but is too shy to talk to him about it . In `` The Lover , '' Michael opens up to Toby , asking him to keep Pam under control , by giving Toby a hug and calling him a `` good guy . '' Toby says that he is delighted and `` Michael would like me once he got to know me , '' but as soon as Toby fails to keep Pam under control , Michael starts to hate him again . Michael , though , ended up being appreciative of Toby 's efforts to actually help him during their Sabre - mandated counseling sessions ( even if he spent much of the time hurling harsh statements at the HR rep ) , to the point where he decided to talk to Toby instead of simply signing off on a few corrected forms at the sessions ' end . While in `` Take Your Daughter to Work Day , '' Michael ends up bonding with Toby 's daughter Sasha when the employees bring their children into the office . However , later on , Michael becomes withdrawn and sad that he has n't had any children , which Toby senses and ends up being confidant to Michael . Michael inquires about being Sasha 's godfather . Toby simply tells him that she already has one . Michael has on a few occasions realized when his mistreatment of Toby has gone too far such as in `` Women 's Appreciation '' in which he literally asked him to expose his genitals and also in `` Frame Toby '' after attempting to get Toby arrested and fired , possibly showing that Michael 's hatred of Toby has limits .
Toby Flenderson
In `` Counseling '' , Toby does counselling for Michael . They briefly become friends as Michael talks to Toby about his life , but when Michael realizes that Toby is , in fact , counselling him , Michael yells at him . Toby reveals that he has a degree in social work . At the end of the episode , however , he seems to be communicating with Toby civilly , as most of his anger is fixed on Gabe Lewis .
Toby Flenderson
In season five , Toby is revealed to be in traction in a Costa Rican hospital , with a broken neck , after a zip - line accident on his third day in Costa Rica . He explains that he has yet to see the beach , but expresses some happiness with the camera crew for visiting . He also implies in an earlier talk with Oscar that he is attracted to a woman who is visiting a nearby resort with her husband , thus continuing his tendency to fall for unavailable women à la Pam . In a deleted scene from Baby Shower , Toby can be heard on the speakerphone with Holly , noting that he enjoys his stay at the hospital more than his treatment from Michael at the office .
Toby Flenderson
Toby claims to have no `` passion for HR '' and was only hired at Dunder Mifflin as it was the first job he could find . He joins the others occasionally but only for business matters , such as reviewing the company 's sexual harassment policy and mediating conflict between employees . Toby prefers to let angry employees vent to him , after which they feel better and the conflict eventually settles down and solves itself . This strategy worked virtually trouble - free for years until Michael Scott publicly reads off all listed complaints .
Toby Flenderson
In a deleted scene from `` Ben Franklin , '' when warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin is told that Michael has sent Toby home to prevent him from interfering with the hiring of a stripper , Darryl refers to Toby ( `` that red - haired guy with the sad eyes '' ) as a cool guy . While on a trip to the Corporate offices with Darryl and Michael in `` The Negotiation , '' Darryl also offers to let Toby crash for the night at a relative 's house in New York , denying Michael the same opportunity . He also had a nickname for Toby ( `` T - dog '' ) at one point , though their relationship soured when Dwight 's plan to expose Darryl 's worker 's compensation fraud led to embarrassment for all of them and Toby insulted Darryl and his sister . Despite this , the two seem to have a good relationship and Darryl once kindly gave Toby his Christmas doll to give to his daughter Sasha .
Toby Flenderson
Toby 's distaste for Pam 's relationship with Jim is again brought up in `` Branch Wars '' when Jim is allowed to join `` The Finer Things Club , '' an exclusive organization built up by Pam , Toby , and Oscar , dedicated to discussing civilized culture . During the episode 's final scene , after Jim contributes his ideas on the book being discussed , Toby scrutinizes him very bitterly , hinting again at his disdain for Jim 's success with Pam . His irritation is attributed to the fact that Jim did not read the book , though Oscar and even Pam are also annoyed with Jim 's wisecracking , uninformed behavior . Also in this episode Michael tells Karen she can have Toby instead of Stanley ; when Karen says Toby is not a salesperson , Michael briefly tries to talk up Toby 's ability to learn before saying he ca n't fake it and insulting the HR rep anew .
Toby Flenderson
After the departure of Kelly and Ryan , Toby appears more excited with the arrival of the two twenty - somethings who are single like himself . He appears to see them as closer friends than they see him but neither of them treats him meanly either . He convinced both of them , along with Kevin and Darryl , to grow moustaches from `` Movember '' , believing this was a bonding activity . He was disappointed when Pete shaved his moustache off after Erin found it off - putting .
Toby Flenderson
Toby has an ongoing concern about the air quality at the office that borders on an obsession . He worked a recommendation that the air be tested into his goodbye toast in a deleted scene from `` Goodbye , Toby ; '' he ignored the two factions that wanted to use an unexpected surplus for new chairs or a new copier and said the money should go to air testing ( which he called the `` silent killer , '' leading to Michael saying `` You are the silent killer . Go back to the annex . '' ) ; and he put together a meeting to discuss the radon testing kits he was dispersing in `` The Chump . ''
Toby Flenderson
In the episode `` Survivor Man , '' Toby ends up getting on Jim 's nerves . When Jim is named Acting Manager while Michael is off on his `` wilderness adventure '' and starts altering the office 's birthday schedule , Toby asks Jim if he can have a birthday celebration , explaining that Michael deliberately held a party for Toby at 4 : 58 PM on a Friday so no one would attend . Jim agrees but comments that he likes Toby but that the guy is really annoying him , claiming that sometimes Toby can sometimes be a little bit much . Jim 's dismissive , disgusted attitude toward Toby ( whom he has always gotten along with before ) very closely mirrors how Michael treats Toby . It is not clear whether Jim is genuinely fed up with Toby or whether this interplay showed that Jim was beginning to act like Michael . It is also possible that Jim was not annoyed at Toby specifically but at the general reaction to his plan . Jim 's disgusted attitude can also be attributed to the fact that Toby has been treating Jim fairly poorly in previous episodes due to his jealousy of his relationship with Pam .

Later , Toby is seen talking to Rory via Skype and tells him he thinks his brother and Michael would `` hit it off in an odd way '' .

Ryan moves back to the annex with Kelly soon before Pam is scheduled to return . He starts showing off in front of Kelly and the two start kissing passionately .

In `` Frame Toby '' , Ryan breaks up with Kelly again , saying he is going with friends to Thailand , but convinces her to have sex with him one last time and give him some traveling money first .
Toby Flenderson
He is seen on occasion in the background in the `` Annex '' of the office . When Michael gives his two weeks notice , Toby shows he 's not as resentful towards Michael as Michael is to him in a talking head , referring to him as a movie on an airplane , which is nothing special but something to watch . He was seen breaking up a jam session in the lunch room up between Dwight and Andy who were attempting to impress the new receptionist with guitar and banjo to the song `` Take Me Home , Country Roads '' by John Denver . Toby simply says , `` You have to stop . ''
