Rainn Wilson Hopes 'The Office' Fans 'Cool It' After Sharing Hilarious Prank Hotel Played On Him

The actor shared a photo of his hotel room service with his silverware encased in red Jell-O, a reference to an infamous prank on 'The Office.'

Rainn Wilson took to Instagram last week to share a hilarious prank played on him at a hotel in Italy.

But don't go getting any ideas; he doesn't want this hysterical joke to go any further.


While staying at Plaza Hotel Lucchesi during a recent stay in Florence, Italy, the Office star received a clever surprise along with his room service: a delicious spread, complete with his silverware encased in Jell-O.

Wilson captioned his post:

"This is what happened when I ordered room service at my hotel in Florence
 @plazahotellucchesi"

Of course, this in reference to the Office pilot in which Jim, played by John Krasinski, pranked Wilson's character Dwight by trapping his stapler in a Jell-O mold.

And though we all laughed and laughed, Wilson told People earlier this week that he hopes the trend does not continue.

“My fear is that I won’t be able to go anywhere without stuff being put in Jell-O."

He continued:

“I’ll go valet park, and then my car keys will be in Jell-O."
"And I’ll go to a baseball game, and the baseball will be in Jell-O. And the list goes on and on."
"So I hope people cool it with the Jell-O jokes. That’s all."

Wilson then joked:

"Unless it’s edible."
"I will eat my weight in Jell-O."

Regardless of Wilson's attitude toward the prank, though, fans thought it was an incredible stunt pulled off by the staff.

The Office's own Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) even responded:

"Haha!!! That is so wonderful and funny! ❀ 😂"
"I hope you left a giant tip (in jello!)!"

We all know Wilson loves that the show that ran for nine seasons "affected, touched, comforted and inspired" so many.

But no more Jell-O, okay?
