In addition to their many other wonderful attributes we are pleased to report that John Legend and Chrissy Teigen also have excellent taste in television shows.
On Monday night, the couple shared on Twitter that they're fans of the beloved NBC comedy, The Office. And not just like casual fans, they really know their stuff. :')
It all started when Twitter user @hanny_tie asked if John Legend ever invested in wuphf — the website/messaging service invented by B.J. Novak's character Ryan Howard.
Episode 9 of The Office's seventh season, titled "WUPHF.com," follows Ryan the former temp's new business venture.
The idea for WUPHF.com — pronounced "woof" — is that it would allow users to send a sinlge message to a home phone, email, Facebook, Twitter and computer home screen simultaneously, to ensure no one ever misses a message, unlike on Facebook. (Sounds like a nightmare, TBH.)
Ryan and Michael spend the episode trying to sell their co-workers on the idea, and when they question whether the venture really has potential, Ryan says, "Well, earlier today, I was emailing someone by the name of John Legend... We get that guy WUPHF-ing, it's all over."
"There you go," Michael adds, insinuating that the name dropping of the famous musician should be enough to convince everyone to invest. According to John Legend himself, he did not end up investing in WUPHF, but tweeted, "I did invest in the Michael Scott Paper Co."
JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a freaking good response. A+, man.
For those who are not as well-versed in episodes of The Office as John Legend, in Season 5, Episode 23 of the show, titled, "Michael Scott Paper Company," Michael decides to leave his role as Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch to start his own paper company. Pam quits her job as receptionist to help him, and then Ryan ends up joining them as a salesman.
This Legend-ary tweet proves: 1. John Legend is a fan of the office, and 2. John Legend is a smart man because WUPHF would have been a horrible investment, whereas Michael was offered $60,000 for his paper company.
Then, just when we thought things couldn't get any more exciting, Chrissy Teigen joined in on The Office love-fest to reference one of the Michael Scott Paper company's gimmicks to attract new clients: Pancakes shaped like sheets of paper rather than circles.
"I just wanted a paper shaped pancake," Teigen replied to her husband's tweet.

Same, Chrissy. SAME.
It's super cool that the couple watches the show, right? Especially since it stars John Krasinski, the John that Chrissy was actually supposed to end up with.
What a lovely day it's been on Twitter (so far).
