That's what she said is a small, unsatisfying remark to a comment or speech made popular by The Office (The Good One). If you enjoy it, you should be shot.[Citation not needed at all; thank you very much] What is the point of having such a big silly thing said about you or your friends?
That's what she said, anyway.

[edit] History
[edit] Origin
While we may never know the exact origin of the phrase, one of the earliest, if not first, occurrences of That's what she said in popular culture can be traced back to 1975, uttered by Chevy Chase during Weekend Update on the first season of the popular sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live".
After much investigation, we have found a man who claims to have created the line. A warehouse supervisor named Neil Cohen at a company called Asian World of Martial Arts in Philadelphia claims he created the line in the mid-1980's. He is ighly upset that the line has become so famous due to shows like The Office and he does not get any credit. Cohen also claims to have created the comedic gems of "I've got your ..... (i.e.: I've got your Nip/Tuck), taping up your pants with electrical tape when they rip in the crotch and taking items off an order even though there are a 100 of them in stock.
