A Minnesota restaurant manager had a mishap that felt straight out of a sitcom — and it was all caught on camera.

At Sweet Taste of Italy in Brooklyn Park, a security camera captured the moment a manager accidentally tripped, sending a large pot of sauce crashing to the floor.

The scene immediately drew comparisons on social media to a memorable moment from "The Office," when Kevin Malone famously dropped his oversized pot of "Famous Chili" at Dunder Mifflin.

What they're saying:

Restaurant owner Jim Stone said the pot contained about five gallons of meat sauce.
