Meredith once watched her own son strip
The writers on "The Office" saved Meredith's worst moment until the very end of the series. During the series finale episode, aptly titled "Finale" (via IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2669746/?ref_=ttep_ep23)), viewers get to witness Angela's (Angela Kinsey) bachelorette party before she finally marries Dwight. As the small but mighty party of Angela's female office co-workers gathers together, we find out there's going to be a male stripper. Sounds exciting, right? Wrong.
The plot twist here is that the stripper turns out to be Meredith's son, Jake (Spencer Daniels), who many of the Dunder Mifflin ladies in the room have presumably known since he was a child. Rather than leave the room in disgust or become horrified by seeing her son in such a way, Meredith proceeds to assist Jake with his stripping act. In "Mean Girls," it was funny when "cool mom" wannabe Mrs. George (Amy Poehler) helps Regina (Rachel McAdams) from the crowd with her – slightly over-sexualized "Jingle Bells" performance. But this alarmingly similar TV situation is a bit different when it's a full-on striptease performance.
Abject horror over the unfolding situation aside, it is quite an amusing scene. More importantly, Meredith enjoying and encouraging her son's stripping is definitely her worst moment.
