Love the part when he gets on the bus when the rest of the office is on that work retreat. He was like what the fuck.

Or where they are having a "who done it?" murder game at the office and he does a runner.
Or where he turns his head to the side when they are taking their id badge photos.
So many.

My gf and I are primarily office workers and have worked for the same company for close to 10 years now.
We've watched through the Office in its entirety together twice now and one of the greatest compliments she's ever payed me was
"You're definitely Creed. I can so see that being you in another 30 years or so"

I think Creed is the Scranton Strangler. He shows up with blood spattered on his shirt and says he's lucky it's halloween, like his "costume" wasn't intentional and he needed an excuse for all the blood. Also this

But didnt the guy who was arrested try to strangle Toby when he went in to see him?
But it would be great if Creed was the SS.

Yes, George Howard Skub does strangle Toby after he went to see him. But remember, Toby came in with a guilty conscience thinking he had wrongly sentenced an innocent man. If one were in prison for a crime you didn't commit and one of the jurors came to you expressing second thoughts after sending you to prison, I'd imagine most would not be happy with them (but that certainly doesn't justify strangulation).
Creed also sometimes implies in some interviews and Q&As about The Office that his character is the Stangler or involved with some killing (But honestly he is likely just making playful jokes about the character and is not saying anything in canon).
For instance, Creed Bratton has recently released an album (Slightly Altered) and was questioned about his character being the Strangler, and he said "...when we asked if he was the “Scranton Strangler” he kind of tipped his hand to us, “why would you say that?” he hilariously says.
“Oh come on Scott, if i was in the studio right now i’d strangle you for saying that!”
He breaks down the situation by saying “obviously he had to kill somebody!”
Creed says “he’d come in dripping with blood, bodies in his trunk "apparently"…A strangler is a clean kill, there wouldn’t be a lot of blood...a Scranton stabber? I don’t know about the strangler."
Creed Bratton on his new album 'Slightly Altered,' if he was "The Scranton Strangler" on The Office
You know him as Creed Bratton in “The Office” & a folk musician who played for the band The Grass Roots! Creed checked in on the big show to talk about his new album "Slightly Altered" which comes out July 17th! It was produced by Grammy award-winning producer Dave Way (Sheryl Crow, Christina...

He seems to deny it but often also leaves things sketchy and up to interpretation.

What? Y'all need to polish up on your Office lore. Toby was the Scranton Strangler. He got strangled by Scub because he confessed to him he was the actual SS.

While watching Office, I knew that my goal in life, when I got to be his age, was to be Creed.

Probably still a murderer but strangling people won’t lead to blood splatter on your shirt.

It’s Toby. Watched a YouTube of it and it convinced me.

He also wrote a song about The Office, set to the theme of The Office

Creed’s done some shady shit. Probably has been involved with murders. The blood splatter (which has nothing to do with strangling victims) could‘ve been from sacrificing a goat from one of the cults he’s in.
One of the writers of the show said that the strangler would only choke his victims until they pass out. He wouldn’t actually kill them. They said it was because he was too weak. That had Toby written all over it.

Yeah, and the strangling started back up after Toby came back to the office. The weird way he fucked off to Costa Rica, where tried to hang (choke) himself to death.

Wrong.
This scene gave me more feelings than most of the rest of the show.
Probably because it's just so relatable.

I was laughing hard but my gf actually felt really bad for poor Kevin - especially when he desperately starts trying to shovel it back into the pot.
