Seriously - I've known people who have been using "that's what she said" regularly for the last 16 years, myself included (where do you think the Office got the idea from in the first place? The character is known for telling an old joke wrong - that's the brilliance of it...)

So...the people who originated it popularized it, but The Office "made it more in vogue" thus again, popularizing it?
The number of people who used the phrase probably increased by ten fold from The Office. That's bringing into the mainstream. People began to use the term on radio shows and such. That's bringing it into the mainstream.
