Jim Halpert As "Dave"

What better version of Jim than Jim on Halloween? While there are lots of Halloween episodes of "The Office," who could forget the season 5 classic during which Jim rocks a decidedly low-effort costume that consists of his usual business look with a simple, red-trimmed "Hello My Name Is" name tag that says "Dave."

OK, remember that episode where dunce boss Michael promises to pay the tuition of a bunch of high school students? Well, the moment rolls around where he's finally expected to keep his promise and, well... he doesn't, of course.
