<P> Matthew R. Meier of West Chester University of Pennsylvania and Christopher A. Medjesky of the University of Findlay have recently argued that "such off - hand, common remarks such as "that's what she said" jokes are deeply entrenched in modern society, and contribute to humorizing and legitimizing sexual misconduct ." </P> <P> One of the more notable usages of the phrase "that's what she said" has been used in the sitcom The Office by fictional character Michael Scott on numerous occasions, thoroughly defining his personality to the public eye . The phrase has been used multiple times throughout the latter seasons of the sitcom . </P> <P> "It squeaks when you bang it . That's what she said ." </P> <P> "You should put your mouth on that . That's what she said ." </P>

Where did that's what she said jokes come from
