(from “The Office“)

“Ryan: What I really want, honestly, Michael is for you to know it so that you can communicate it to the people here, to your clients, whomever.

Michael Scott: Oh OK.

Ryan: What?

Michael Scott: It’s whoever, not whomever.

Ryan: It’s whomever.

Michael Scott: No, whomever is never actually right.

Jim Halpert: Nope, sometimes it’s right.

Creed: Michael is right. It’s a made up word used to trick students—

Andy: No. Actually, whomever is the formal version of the word—

Oscar: Obviously it’s a real word—but I don’t know how to use it correctly.

Michael Scott: [to camera] Not a native speaker.

Kevin: I know what’s right. But I’m not gonna say. Because you’re all jerks who didn’t come see my band last night.

Ryan: Do you really know which one is correct?

Kevin: I don’t know.

Pam Beesly: It’s whom when it’s the object of the sentence and who when as the subject.

Phyllis: That sounds right.

Michael Scott: Well it sounds right but is it?

Stanley: How did Ryan use it, as an object?

Ryan: As an object.

Kelly: Ryan used me as an object.

Oscar: Is he right about that—

Pam Beesly: How did he use it again?

Toby: It was, Ryan wanted Michael, the subject, to explain the computer system, the object—

Michael Scott: Thank you!

Toby: … to whomever, meaning us, the indirect object. Which is the, the correct usage of the word.

Michael Scott: No one, uh asked you anything ever so whomever’s name is Toby, why don’t you take a letter opener and stick it in your skull?”
