Despicable Steve! "The Office" alum Steve Carell broke a lot of hearts -- and, briefly, the Internet -- with just two simple tweets.
You probably heard the news yesterday that NBC is officially reviving "Will & Grace" for a 10-episode run. Around the same time as those reports, Carell tweeted this to his nearly 5 million followers:
Breaking News: "The Office" returning to NBC.
— Steve Carell (@SteveCarell) January 18, 2017
That was rapidly liked and shared by fans who celebrated with happy "Office" GIFs.
*However* this is where the actor's supervillain side shows. Six minutes later, he updated with this:
Wait, sorry. I meant "Will and Grace" (Typo)
— Steve Carell (@SteveCarell) January 18, 2017
Brilliant! Or, as one fan called it, "what a toby move."
Others replied to Carell with angry "Office" GIFs, which also happened to perfectly suit the moment:

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you troll. For once, Michael Scott got the job done right the first time. However, this should be a good lesson to NBC: Look at how many fans were thrilled at the idea of "The Office" returning. Maybe there's more gold to be mined there...
