It must have been really hard to film scenes for "The Office" without everyone cracking up. And Phyllis Smith remembers one particular scene she and Steve Carell barely got through . . . all because of a single word.
It was during the episode "Phyllis' Wedding", where Michael Scott (Steve's character), accuses Phyllis of BREAKING WIND.
She says, quote, "We could not get through the word 'pungent.' Every time he would say 'pungent,' he would break out in his cackle. He couldn't get through it and I couldn't get through it."
Phyllis was only able to get through the scene by holding her breath. Quote, "So if I looked a little blue in that scene, that's the reason."
