What TV Show Is In The Background Of This Cute Cat Video?

This cat video description really buried the lead, because the most interesting thing about "Kitty Eating A Graham Cracker" isn't the kitty eating the graham cracker. It's the intensely familiar audio of a popular TV show in the background:

Once I figured it out it seemed painfully obvious, and I felt dumb, but I had to listen three times. (For some reason my first two instincts were The OC and Will And Grace.) Now we know what people watch while feeding their cats possibly inappropriate treats.

My first thought was That 70's Show...but then there was no annoying laugh track. Figured it out the second time!

Is it bad that I got it the first time? And actually managed to recognize which storyline it is? I watch too much TV (is it even possible?).

I don't know... that voice is pretty recognizable. Also, he says a very important name about 2 seconds in!

That's the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. I'm sure of it.

Yeah, for whatever reason I heard Jim's voice as Seth Cohen for the first ten seconds or so.

Clearly they're watching a tape of the Bratz movie. I don't know how you missed it.

I think I realized it was The Office before the clip even started. I realized it was The Office before the show The Office was even MADE. Damn, Lindsay. I say DAMN!

It's The Office, the episode "Survivor Man"... Thanks to Wikipedia's "pop culture references" section for Fudgie the Whale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fudgie_the_Whale

I named that tune in like 4 words. by the time jim said "Toby's Great" it was hard to concentrate though because that kitten is pretty f'ing cute.

Pffft Too easy! Give me something hard to decipher whilst a cat eats something inappropriate in the foreground.

Weird, the immediate guess for me was "OC" too, but the second I heard Toby it was Game Over.

It took me 12 seconds. But that's mostly because I spent December re-watching Seasons 2 and 3 of it so many times that I could recognize any of their voices from anywhere. So it's probably sad.
