The Office

[buxomia]

So far this season is the best yet. I can't stand Jim being away but the second episode was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. From Jim finding Angela in Dwight's room and thinking she was a hooker to Michael putting on the black light and they find stains EVERYWHERE. Comic gold.

[listerfiend]

I too LOVE The Office, my friends and I make a point to watch it every thurday together. And Danny T, if you don't watch it, you should start, it's shot "doc-style" :).

[point5o]

Great stuff so far. The kiss between Oscar and Michael in the season premiere was so awkward...classic. I loved the whole gaydar bit and Toby trying to ask out Pam.

Lol, I love when Dwight tries it out and he's like, "It works!" and then it goes off on him. Funniest reaction ever.

[sugarsickness]

I had watched the uk version prior to me getting into this one and I think both are brilliant. This season has been absolutely fantastic.


I at first thought I wouldn't want jim gone (I iniatially thought he had left the show but was glad that the camera men followed him to his new job) but once I saw him at his new office I really liked it. When he puts the guys stapler in jello like he did to Dwight and the guy goes apeshit and kicks the trash bin and stuff

><

And when that female coworker talked aobut how jim keeps looking at the cameras and making faces hahah

I looooove it :)

[briangilmore]

so now you can search for all the old threads about the office HERE!

Fluxcapacitor has come to our aid and brought us allllll the old threads. Thank him, eh?

[buxomia]

Hey we can talk about the office still, since it's a new season. So there!

[briangilmore]

yes yes, i didn't say you couldn't, a third season thread is totally legit. I was just letting you all know that all our threads AREN'T gone, and that there are convos about the previous office THERE that people might wanna look at. :) ain't no thang but a chicken wang, girl, we coo ;)

[bcool]

I also liked the adoption thing in the beginning "I don't even know if I'll want a baby in eight months" haha... and pams date with the cartoonist "I just kinda think about stuff I see. Or dream them." I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that. Love this show.

[buxomia]

I love that BJ Novak, who plays Ryan "fire guy" Howard, is a writer for the show.

Let's see if anyone who watches Premium Blend remembers this.....back when Stephen Lynch was becoming more popular, more and more music comedians were coming out. Out comes this kid, like, 22 who's in a suit with long hair and a guitar and he sings a song that goes, "Particle board, all my furniture is made of particle board. It's all I can afford particle board." That was BJ!!!

[jwheels]

My favorite moment so far is when Jim puts his new co-worker's calculator in jello and he freaks out.

[cobaltgrc]

I love the office. It's amazing. A reason to live.

[buxomia]

To me the Office is the most rewatchable show on television. I've seen every episode at least 3 times.

[satansmagichat]

To me the Office is the most rewatchable show on television. I've seen every episode at least 3 times.

I totally agree. It's not about the punchlines, but about how the actors perform the joke.

Also, anyone else think Creed's completely losing his mind? I mean, yeah, he's already been crazy, but seriously.

Also, what do you guys make of it when Jim said, "I just put it all on the line... twice." We know about the one time it happened.

Oh shit, I'm gossipping like a young college girl and Gray's Anatomy.

[delacommon]

thank you for posting his name. That was one of my fav thing on any stand up special on CC next to slovian and allen. I work normally til 1am so I've missed the offices new episodes so I guess I'll have to get caught up.

huh, thats true. At first I thought he might be talking about on the booze cruise, but that wasn't really on the line. I love the creed character and I'm glad their using him a little more now. the premier when he was talking about the orgies killed me. And then in the last one, when he thought whats-her-name was a new employee was great. man, I fulking love that show.

He did it twice in one night. When he told her, and when he kissed her.

[satansmagichat]

He did it twice in one night. When he told her, and when he kissed her.

I dont know. I mean, he wouldn't have exaggerated the "twice" if it was just the one time. There's obviously a LOT that happened between season 2 and 3 that the writers just havent even explained.

[bcool]

yeah you might be right. It's not totally clear whether pam dumped roy before or after jim left.

[buxomia]

yeah you might be right. It's not totally clear whether pam dumped roy before or after jim left.

I dunno, I don't think it's that complicated. He did lay himself on the line twice. He was crying when he told her and said sorry for misinterpreting it. Then he overhears her conversation with her mom and decides to go for it again. That's not an easy thing to do.

Ahhhhh, yeah I had lumped that into one.

[kowgod]

I totally hope Toby nails Pam.

And that they show it on TV.

[briangilmore]

dude, then I would wanna kick tobyy's ass. Pam is mine. Either mine or Jim's. End of story. It does seem, though, that Roy will try and win her back and he WAS introduced into the season as a very sympathetic character, crying vowing to win her back, etc. we might end up hating pam? I like that it's taking a slightly different direction.

[toastmstrgeneral]

I love that BJ Novak, who plays Ryan "fire guy" Howard, is a writer for the show.


I do believe that indian chick he is involved with on the show is also a writer, along with of course Steve Carrell which I believe wrote most of the finale and the premier.

[buxomia]

dude, then I would wanna kick tobyy's ass. Pam is mine. Either mine or Jim's. End of story.

That's perfect, Pam is yours and Jim is mine. I swear with Jim I feel like Gollum.

[abacusand13south]

Alot of the cast on the show were originally working in the background on the show before getting cast. The lady that plays Florence (I think thats her name) was the casting driector and they like her doing the reads so they put her on the show. BJ Novak along with writing is also a producer who wasnt originally cast, same the guy that plays Tobey.

[fluxcapacitor]

I somehow missed the first two episodes so I had to "borrow" them from my good buddy "the internet". I love that show. The whole bit with Michael explaining how you don't call fags ****y and retards retarded was hilarious.

[briangilmore]

I think this was mentioned in the last page, but seriously, when Creed mistakes what's her face for a new employee it is absolutely hilarious for soooooooo many reasons. jesus, that was genius.

[actonWJK]

The office is probably the only show I watch on tv. its too good for words. I do remember seeing the pilot when it first aired and thinking "damn show is unfunny!!" and bummed out becuase i loved steve carell and wanted to love the show. but then over teh summer my friend was ranting about "JAM" and then i obtained it via a series of tubes and spent an entire weekend watching season 1+2, and all I can say is...




How is this NOT a pyramid scheme?

[buxomia]

I think this was mentioned in the last page, but seriously, when Creed mistakes what's her face for a new employee it is absolutely hilarious for soooooooo many reasons. jesus, that was genius.

Not only does he treat Meredith (who, by the way, ate hand sanitizer because it had alcohol in it) like she's new....he calls Angela Andrea.

One question. In the second episode, Angela's talking to the camera and she's like, "Why are there flies in here?" That never comes back. What was the point?

[shmoo]

"The prod.. the progidal.... My son returns!"


MICHAEL: One for the road gentlemen?
JOSH: A Shot of Maduri, perhaps
*Everybody laughs*
JIM: Oh no sorry, it's an inside joke. There was this bartender in Stanford who... you know what, you'd just have to be there.
MICHAEL: Wish I was, I love inside jokes. Love to be a part of one someday.
JOSH: Alright, we should uh...
MICHAEL: Yeah see you guys down there. Change your mind, come back up
Dwight: I'll do a shot with you Michael.
MICHAEL: Ech, gross, it's not even lunch yet.


JAN: Well Michael I... I underestimated you.
Michael: Yeah well, maybe next time you will estimate me.


I loved how Michael was playing the Girls Gone Wild theme song.

[Spin]

The Office is an Amazing show, every thursday at 7:30 makes me squee when I watch it..

I'm not quite sure where they are heading with the whole Jim/Pam dealy but I really hope somthing happends soon.

Dwight = Definatly fav office char
(cause he pwns)

[slowmtnsilhouette]

man, i was sooooo disappointed when jim and pam didnt get together... and tobey's a cool guy, so if nothing ever happens with jim, i would want pam to hook up with him... lol...

i think hes cool. whatever. lol

[buxomia]

Slomo!!!!

Tobey was so cute the whole time, I felt so bad for him. But I just don't see it. I see her finally flipping out if he professes his love and just screaming to the whole office that she won't date any of them. Then she'll make out with Oscar.

[actonWJK]

I think they are going to hold off any jim and pam moments until mid season. It builds this suspense. What would further build that is if maybe they had a phone conversation prior to them meeting face to face for the first time since casino night (assuming jim went to australia right after that and then to corporate right after australia).

Or they could suprise us next episode and have jim barge into michael's office for some wierd reason ("I really feel like annoying dwight today, so i took a day off")

[xxxthundercatxxx]

I think they'll merge the offices together this season, much like they did in the BBC version. The cast in Jim's branch is way too good to just be extras like Creed. Plus they're generally sticking with the plot outline the BBC version went by. Carell has a busy movie schedule ahead of him, so this could be his last season as a Dunder-Mifflen Regional Mangager.

They have to do with they did with the BBC version and make Dwight his replacement. Oh good God that would be hilarious. I just really hope that they don't make Michael painful to watch like they did with David.

He is assistant regional manager, mostly by name though. Man, just thinking back to it I really miss Gareth Keenan. I had a roomate that was exactly like him in everyway imaginable, except for his unhealthy obsession with Bobba Fett.

hopefully thats why they had 2 versions in the first place. The BBC version was a little to dry for me.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

im probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but, i never watched the UK Office. not that i didnt want to, i just never got around to it. so, unfortunately, i dont have anything to compare this one to.

[n_it2_winit]

I never saw the UK office for the same reason and I'm probably not going to see it now because I think it might ruin my love for the US Office.

[buxomia]

I never saw the UK office for the same reason and I'm probably not going to see it now because I think it might ruin my love for the US Office.

If it's true love, nothing could ruin it.

The jokes that Jim's character, who's name I can't remember right now does to Gareth (Dwight's character) are so much funnier. One that sticks out which is VERY you had to be there is when Gareth's phone starts ringing, and the second you pick it up, Jim's character just says "cock" and hangs up the phone. It's hilarious, but again, not funny when I type it.

I freakin love the Office (both UK and US), but i must say. Am i the only one who is thinking that this season is not shaping up to be as good as last season? I thought the first episode wasn't all that funny compared to past episodes, this 2nd episode was better, but still it's just not doing it for me compared to what it was last season. I think it is the lack of the direct jim/pam/dwight triangle - the best dynamic in all of sitcomdom if you ask me... It is still good and I will still watch it religously... but i dunno, i am just waiting for the day when Stanford absorbs Scranton and i'm hoping it comes before the end of the season...

Anyway, apologies for a partial non-sequitur, but season 2 of Extras is, thus far, rocking my balls off. The song with David Bowie in episode two was almost responsible for bursting my bladder.

For me, the american office is good, I like Steve Carrel, but it never had the magic of the origional. It's like if you're friends were replaced by new actors or something, and they were still pretty funny, but it wasn't the same.

[kenclunk]

I don't like the flirting of Jim and the new chick. Obviously we're not suppose to like it because we care so much about the Jim/Pam relationship. Also does anyone feel really bad for Roy? It is so sad.

MY FAVORITE PART OF TONIGHT'S EPISODE:

I don't like Karen but it seems Jim just can't live without having a crush on someone.

My favorite part...and I'm paraphrasing cause I don't remember exactly...

"We're just trying to find these chips Karen wants."

"Did you check the vending machine?"

"Oh...the vending machine. How did we not think of that?"

"Did you check your butt?"

That doesn't look that good on paper but I freaking love that guy. I want to see a duel between him and Dwight. Gareth refs.

I just watched last weeks episode of Office, and let me tell you. I think it is probably the funniest show on the Tele right now. The writing is incredible. The acting is just great. Steve Carrell is just awesome. I have it up there with Seinfeld right now, it's just that good.

That's just my opinion. I want know what you guys think?:D

Tobey- "...more than an action movie."

My friend was telling me that he hopes the Pam and Jim don't hook up. It would ruin the show.

You know what he's right. But I like that fact that Dwight has a secret love with Angela. That's comedy.:D

last night's episode was great. i do think they missed a prime plot though...hear me out and see if you think this would have been a good way to go.

at the start jim is sending dwight faxes with dwight's stationary...pretending to be "future dwight" (which was great). i think when they heard that the scranton branch was closing dwight should have been really calm about it and acted like it wouldn't happen. he would have put togther that "future dwight" still had dundler mifflin stationary...meaning that everything would be okay. he should have tried to convince everyone that the jobs wouldn't be lost..saying he knows certain things he can't share at the moment. then when the branch is saved he could be all "see...told you there was nothing to worry about." maybe end with jim sending him another fax.

There is no way that that scene was not written and filmed and ultimately cut because there was so much other stuff they had to get to in the episode. Maybe they could have held this episode off until next week when they are doing the 40 minute episode deal because there was obviously more stuff filmed that didnt make it and the dwight from the future would have been a sweet callback. Half hour tv shows have so many deleted and cut scenes thats it crazy. Does anyone know if The Office dvd's have deleted scenes on them?

But yeah the episode was good they should have done more with dwight from the future but still excellent. Is the guy that sat in front of Jim coming to Scranton as well? Because it would be funny to see him as the new guy after pulling the ive been here longer than you shit he was playing on Jim.

That has to be the one of best lines I have ever heard on this show.:D I was on the floor laughing about that.

[Ctrl-alt-tristan]

Yeah thats funny the office is one of the best shows on tv

[buxomia]

The stamford dwight's name is Andy by the way

[LosOjosdeMuerte]

I was just watching the episode with the squeaky chair. Man, what ever did happen to the Cardigans?

[kramertron]

The stamford dwight's name is Andy by the way

Thank you! I've been calling him "The guy that calls Jim Big Tuna" for too long now. I'm really hoping that he and Dwight hate each other and are constantly fighting, and Dwight being extremely terrified of him.

[point5o]

Does anyone know if The Office dvd's have deleted scenes on them?

Yes, there is a lot of cut footage.

very single episode from season two has deleted scenes on this set, ranging from around three minutes, to nearly ten minutes of additional material. All together, there is nearly two and a half hours of deleted scenes on this set!

[buxomia]

well if you go to nbc.com and click on the office, you can watch the "Producer's Cut" of the latest episode. Which means it has additional scenes that were cut for time. There's this moment with Ryan.....totally made me go awww.

[LosOjosdeMuerte]

Who can't wait for tonights episode. I just can't wait. I saw another clip for tonights episode when Pam is talking to Jim in the lunch room. AWKWARD MOMENT!!!!

I watched it this morning while killing time before class, the Meridith sub-plot was hilarious! I hope more than anything that Andy makes it to the Scranton branch.

[toastmstrgeneral]

I was just watching the episode with the squeaky chair. Man, what ever did happen to the Cardigans?

They're still around, they're from Sweden and still have a good following there. They've several albums since "First Band on the Moon" which had lovefool on it, their best album being "Long Gone Before Daylight" which came out in 2001. They're latest album is pretty good also, Super Extra Gravity, I got an import copy of it from Sweden in January as I couldn't wait for an american release that was unslated at that time. The single of the album they're currently pimping to the indie rock stations is "I need some fine wine, and you need to be nicer" It's good stuff, definitley worth a listen.

Lazy Scranton!



What the hell was up with the product placement? I hope they don't make a habit of that.

[TheGreatestMemberEver]

Lazy Scranton!

I thought it was funny. Instead of what Seinfeld did and make it part of hte plot or something, It took the Arrested Development root and made it so blantent and obvious it got a laugh from me.

[toastmstrgeneral]

Lazy Scranton!



What the hell was up with the product placement? I hope they don't make a habit of that.

Are you talking about 30 rock? It was all over on that, pimpin the snapple like no other. Only product placement I ever recognize on the office is the hp logo on teh back of the monitors and thats on quite a few shows.

[mormonrage]

The shredder. I thought it was almost over the top--which made me question if, as Maddox above suggests, it was done tongue-in-cheek.

[toastmstrgeneral]

The shredder. I thought it was almost over the top--which made me question if, as Maddox above suggests, it was done tongue-in-cheek.

Dude accepted the job at staples last week, and in previous eps they mentioned stores like office depot and staples putting them out of business, so I guess it didn't spark as that big a deal to me. 30 rock on the other hand talked about how good snapple tasted, then cut directly to a snapple commercial and made it painfully obvious.

[kramertron]

Man, this was easily the best episode this season in my eyes. The Andy/Dwight fued is even better than I imagined. Also, is anyone else happy that Jim is going after Karen rather than Pam?

[toastmstrgeneral]

I was thinking the same, they're really turned everything on it's head and fucked with our alliances with certain characters. Last season Roy was a dick and all you wanted was pam and jim to hook up, but now they're making us like roy again and not want the pam jim shit to happen. I don't know where I lie at all with these characters anymore.

Right. And in this episode, they featured the shredder, then cut immediately to a Staples commercial for . . . the same goddamn shredder.

[toastmstrgeneral]

ok, you win, i must've missed that completely. (They really have commercials for shredders? Why spend the advertising on a 10 dollar product?)

[kramertron]

ok, you win, i must've missed that completely. (They really have commercials for shredders? Why spend the advertising on a 10 dollar product?)

It's actually $70, and ya know if I were in the market for a paper shredder I'd get this bad boy, it can make ****ing salad.

[bcool]

hehe. the 30 rock snapple thing was almost at waynes world level of spoofery. And, yeah, it was really anoying to see the big Staples sticker on the shredder and then see an ad for the same thing during the break. I don't know what to think of it. Part of me would rather they just keep doing it more subtly (of course, not at all would be best), but at least they poked fun of it in 30 rock with the GE oil drilling thing (which of course was just another ad itself).

The even wierder thing is that I think earl this week was a placement ad for global warming and recycling. What the hell is NBC doing? It's like they are trying to apear like they have a guilty conciense about it.

I loved the part where Jim just stared at dwights forhead and he freaked out. holy god that was great. also, the training videos were awesome. 'the..people..they..keep forgetting to ... label their food.'

[bcool]

Lazy Scranton!



What the hell was up with the product placement? I hope they don't make a habit of that.

im guessing they upped it for the ratings 'supersize episode sweep' dealy. cause usually the staples name drops are a little less noticable.

[abacusand13south]

The whole thing with these three shows having the product placement was pretty obvious and I think NBC threw down a mandate for the shows to do that and 30 Rock showed that by showing the meeting and the upper management wanting more product placement and making fun of the situation by using the show within a show, either that or is a coincidence that all three shows featured product placement and one of the episodes was complately about product placement being forced on a show. But even though it was obvious it was really funny especially the salad stuff and it didnt bother me at all.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

i do think that the staples product placement was a little obvious... as for the rest of the ep, i still wish that pam and jim would get together. although, karen is definitely a possibility and she even said straight up that she has a thing for him... part of me thinks that jim is just after her so he can try and get over pam... the thing with andy and dwight is totally hilarious; the insults at the end about the cars and such made me laugh sooo hard...

[LosOjosdeMuerte]

Man, this was easily the best episode this season in my eyes. The Andy/Dwight fued is even better than I imagined. Also, is anyone else happy that Jim is going after Karen rather than Pam?

Karen is so hot. Then she started speaking Italian. OMG!!!!! Andy/Dwight fued is going to be the best. Jim was just taking it all in again, it was a great episode.

[mormonrage]

To hell with Pam.

Team Karen!

[slowmtnsilhouette]

To hell with Pam.

Team Karen!

lol. i cant wait for the ep with karen and jim making out in the break room, and pam walking in.... oooooh drama!

[kowgod]

NO! **** IT ALL!

Michael should fire all the women! Stop invading the LAST (and I mean LAST) show I watch on television with all this drama! I want lots of guns, and grunting, and penises and like, some techy nerd shit. And like, three or four high-fives per episode.

BUT NO DRAMA!


BWAAABabbabbllaaalbbblabbabababaab.... runs away

[sugarsickness]

I'm with you kowgod. tv needs a show that consists of nothing but penises and high fives.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

i would watch that.

They have that show already, it's called the GEEKDROME. You should really check it out their podcasts.

To hell with TO HELL with Karen.

GO TEAM PAM!!!

ain't no quiet, boring woman gettin all up in our man! This is egregious!

[buxomia]

You know what? No. I'm gonna be on Karen's side. She didn't **** around with Jim's heart forever while she was engaged did she? Pam thinks that just because she's single she'll get Jim right away? HE GAVE HER EVERY CHANCE IN THE WORLD!!!!

Dude, he kissed her and she says no. If he kissed me I'd die on the spot. She deserves to have to wait.

Karen was honest and upfront about Jim from the very beginning. Go Karen. At the beginning of this episode when Pam tried to be all coy about Jim coming back, I was OVER it. Thank God Karen's honest!!!

[kowgod]

GO TEAM 3-WAY!

I say, Jim, **** em and leave em! Then run off with Tobey to Rio!

[bullgator2255]

GO TEAM 3-WAY!

I'll have to agree with Kowgod on this one, as long as its the cool kind (i really don't want to see a Dwight/Andy/Angela three way).

And where the hell is Oscar? He was my one of my faves.

[invaderzim]

I just finished watching the office on dvd. 1st season. and man was it awesome

Not. it sucked balls..... BOORING

difference between pam and karen? KAREN WASN'T ENGAGED! Sure, Pam was undecided this entire time, but Jim was playing with HER heart as much as she was with Jim's. They both played the oblivious card whenever it came up and never actually said "I like pam" "I like Jim" to really anyone or each other. It's assumed by the last episode of the 2nd season that Pam would talk to her mom about Jim all the time and even discussed her feelings for him. Jim talked to Michael.

they never spoke until right before pam was supposed to get married. Jim screwed PAM (in a bad way), b/c why wait till right before a girl is getting married? That's jerky. Make a move!

Angela didn't have any of these complications and hers seemed like a more immediate infatuation than actual LOVE grown from years of working together and intimate companionship and being actual best friends!

Pam had a decision: Marry a man you don't love, but are tied to due to your bad decision to settle for him, or drop your entire life and everything you've planned for years and hoped would work for years for someone who you think you could love and probably do, but what if that doesn't work out?

Pam is not the type of girl to make that kind of decision right away b/c she's too "safe" (look at her job!). So I say don't blame Pam, blame the situation, and **** THAT INFATUATED *****. PAM LOVES JIM and we all know that although Jim might be trying to move on, JIM LOVES PAM.

GO TEAM PAM!!!

p.s. Karen's a douchebag

Jim has every right to move on. Is he honestly gonna talk about his feelings for Pam when she's engaged? How would that look? He would be the office douche bag! Then he realizes it's really happening and he panics and tells her. We've all been there!

Again........Karen's single and flirts. Therefore Jim made a move. Obviously if Pam hadn't been single he would have made a move on her as well but he realized how delicate the situation was.

In closing.......Jim's the perfect guy.

See, but although Jim used discretion, that discretion led him to choose the WORST time for Pam to reveal that he loved her. The WORST. His discretion, then, turned out to be more cowardice than anything else, b/c then he put PAM in the WORST positiong ever, and that's JUST like a ****ing GUY to do that. haha.

Seriously, though, Karen's obvious and single and seemingly desperate, but she doesn't have the relationship with Jim that Pam did and I think Jim's closed off in a way that nobody ever will and that's what will bring Pam and Jim back together, b/c of all they've been through together, they deserve each other. The distance caused Pam to realize what she did and just like Jim held off till the worst moment to come to his epiphone, so did Pam.

Jim IS one of the best guys ever, therefore Karen (the douchebag) doesn't deserve him. Pam has paid her dues and she deserves him more than anyone else.

go team pam

[psbp516]

What's wrong with Karen? I hope she winds up with a guy who is just as good as Jim....

go team pam

[buxomia]

Totally unfair comparison!!!!

[kramertron]

I have nothing against Pam, but I'm with Team Karen all the way. Not only is she more attractive than Pam, but it seems as though she'd be the most fun outside the office. And you can't tell me that the whole faux grenade scene between Karen and Jim wasn't the most adorable sign of geeky affection.

[inthraller]

And where the hell is Oscar? He was my one of my faves.

When Michael outs him to the rest of the office, corporate offers Oscar a three month paid vacation in exchange for signing an agreement not to sue the company and Oscar decides to go to Europe with his boyfriend/partner. I believe the phrase he says at the end of the show is "Kids, sometimes it pays to be gay." I wonder if the character will ever actually return.

me too. they did that whole off-season webisodes with him, just so he could leave the first episode of the season?!

[LosOjosdeMuerte]

I just bit torrent season 2. The Christmas Party episode is still the best, but I think this season is going to top it.

[shmoo]

I really like Karen, maybe she'll find happiness with Toby or something.

[kramertron]

I really like Karen, maybe she'll find happiness with Toby or something.

Or something? I'm all about her finding happiness with my main man Jim.

[fluxcapacitor]

I hope Karen, Jim and Pam learn to love each other equally.

[buxomia]

Now here's the question...

Team Andy or Team Dwight?

[LosOjosdeMuerte]

I hope Karen, Jim and Pam learn to love each other equally.

Like a threesome bro? Wow, never, wow.....that's a direction I never thought of.

[fluxcapacitor]

Team Dwight... 'cause I like Rainn Wilson better than Ed Helms.

[mormonrage]

Karen motherloving Filapelli.

[bcool]

I love the dwight character, but it was getting just to the point where it would be repetitive. Team Andy!

[toastmstrgeneral]

I think my favorite part of tonights episode was when Michael said, "Nobody is anybody's bitch here!" and the camera immediatley panned over to Ryan.

[conbon]

Andy hitting on Pam was hilarious, especially when he was serenading her.

[kramertron]

Now here's the question...

Team Andy or Team Dwight?

That's so tough, Andy brings some freshness to it, but I just love to hate Dwight. I'm just happy to see them both fail miserably and bickering with each other the entire way through.

Truly, the breast feeder from Stamford needs to go, she just annoys me.

[wookiewombat]

decent episode last night, Jim's facial expressions were priceless

and seriously, get it over with and **** pam already jim. goddamit, that tension is even getting to me now! WHEN!!

[abacusand13south]

Awesome episode writen by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The part where Toby had to explain to Michael that everyone doesnt really think prison would be better than Dundler Mifflin was priceless, as was the Andy hitting on Pam stuff.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

havent watched last nights yet, so im refraining from reading the new posts... get back to you when i do...

[bradschl]

For me, the best part of last night's Office was Michael restraining Dwight after he tells him about the convict in the office.

There was just no hesitation on Dwight's part. He was going to do something about it, and right now!

[satansmagichat]

havent watched last nights yet, so im refraining from reading the new posts... get back to you when i do...

We appreciate your input.

[kramertron]

I was all excited about the hour long episode all week. And when Thursday rolled around I completely forgot about it because I was packing for ym flight back home. Thankfully I got to see it this morning and it was great :D

Did anyone else find it weird that they brought back two completely different waitresses from Benihana? Also, I see what you're doing The Office writers, you're making Jim fall for Pam again but when he leaves Karen for her Pam will be wrapped up again with Roy, not cool. I liked Pam and Karen working together to mess with the co-workers, so let's just keep doing that, k?

I noticed they were different girls as well and thought for sure that we would end up finding out that were hookers that Michael and Andy picked up after not being able to convince the waitress to come with them.

The Pam goosebumps bit was really funny, but Kevins "I didnt see where the party was" line was probably the best of the episode.

[toastmstrgeneral]

Funniest part of the episode by far for me was when he marked his waitress so i could tell her apart and stared at the camera afterwards. Him telling jim afterwards that he did it kinda lessened the joke, since they pretty much felt they had to explain it to the audience, but nonetheless hilarious.

[rockie]

HAHA!!! Andy had to mark the girl's arm!!! :p

[toastmstrgeneral]

Errr, It was Michael Scott who had to mark the waitress arm......

[PaulSaves]

Did anyone else find it weird that they brought back two completely different waitresses from Benihana?

After thinking about it for two seconds, I think it's hilarious. It reinforces the fact that all us asians look alike.

When Karen said "I don't think were taking this far enough," and Pam says " I just got goosebumps." THat was hilarious.

And what was up with Jim not taking the CIA prank? On that note I lost a little respect for Jim. THAT B***H!!!!!

[rockie]

Errr, It was Michael Scott who had to mark the waitress arm......

My bad... was a long night last night, should watch it again on TiVo...

[mormonrage]

Team motherloving Karen.

[samureye]

Um, making Rainn talk about killing the Goose just like that at the table was pretty funny.

[xxxthundercatxxx]

I wonder who Michael is taking to Sandals, perhaps Jan? Doesn't seem likely but who else is there that would say yes to him... maybe Todd Packer?

My favorite moments of this ep. were "Jim, take New Years away from Stanley" and when Oscar came back during the party.

[zombi]

Im guessing Michael was talking to Jan, if only to (from a writing and plot perspective) to have Michael retain a single relationship however loose it is. They need to have something uplifting happen to Michael. Should lead to some halarity

[briangilmore]

oooo, looks like Team Karen might forfeit pretty soon!!! (go team PAM!)

Also, the hardest I laughed was when he marked the asian girl's arm hahahahaahha. oh man.

i love how helpful dwight was trying to be when he told that waitress how to clean the goose haha. oh man. dwight and angela really are adorable, though.

also, has anyone here ever worked in an office THAT incestuous?

[buxomia]

This was EASILY the best episode ever. Easily.

[Ctrl-alt-tristan]

That was hilarious when he photo shopped his face on her ski trip family photo

[satansmagichat]

I liked when they were at Benihana, and while Michael was talking to the Ed Helms character (forget his name) you can slightly here dwight in the background asking stuff like "What's going on? What'd you say?" and such.

It's subtleties like that that make the show so wonderful.

I was talking to my friend Teddy about the show, and what you notice is that you know so much about these characters. But they sneak facts in about them instead of making it obvious like so many other shows do (including Heroes) and it makes you feel like you're actually getting to know these people personally.

[imagineer99]

"I miss the old days when there was only one Christmas party I didn't want to go to..."

Ryan is by far my favorite character on the show. Oh, and go team Karen!

[Wolverine]

It was hilarious when it looked like Dwight was going to put his jacket around Pam, but instead ties it around his waste.

[mormonrage]

Hi. Just stopping by to represent Team Karen in the '07.

[buxomia]

That was the single most difficult half hour for me to ever watch. I don't know if I can watch that again, as hilarious as some parts were.

And I've switched back to Team Pam....she could have so easily sabotaged that relationship but THAT is how much she loves Jim. Damn. When she was crying I felt horrible.

[funnelfish]

I don't watch the show much... but I love the woman who plays Pam. One, I'm obsessed with her husband, James Gunn. (Most awesome director/screenwriter) and Two, she wrote this amazing blog about the acting industry on her MySpace page.

She seems awesome!

[slowmtnsilhouette]

i was always team pam and i definitely think it was heartbreaking to see her crying like that...

it was great when dwight went to comfort her... they actually had a nice moment until he said that pms line.... lol.

[xxxthundercatxxx]

I thought this was the worst episode from any season. The Michael/Jan hook-up was poorly and unrealistically developed, Jim was being a stupid, Pam's sudden breakdown was overkill, and everybody else just sat in the background more than they usually do only they did nothing funny back there. It seems like they just phoned this one in.

I think they knew they wouldn't have as many viewers so it was shitty. We can handle that. It can't be the best every single time.

But Michael man......he's so painful!!!! She's gonna find out, you know she is.

[Ctrl-alt-tristan]

the best part was when his steel drum got hit

[kowgod]

I want to cut Jim's face.

I'm still team 3-way though.

[thebigkahuna]

so when is dwight coming back?

[kowgod]

I'm not the type of person who is insanely obsessed with TV shows to the point that when things happen on the show, I go out and start googling for cast info or plot lines.

The only thing I can guess is, I'm sure if he was "off" the show, we would have heard about it already in this thread.

My prediction is he will be back next episode. *Maybe* the episode after that.

On a side note, PBS here ran a BBC Office marathon over the weekend or somthing (it's on my Tivo at least), and I was feelin kinda shitty so I watched a bunch of them. God damn, that show is amazing. US Office == funny as ****. BBC Office == sublime and otherworldly. :D

[Ligeia]

As much as I love Carrell and the US version of Office, I'm afraid it doesn't hold a candle to Ricky Gervais and the UK version.

Watch it every chance I get, though.

[Ctrl-alt-tristan]

Meh im not too snobby about it i watch the british office and reallly enjoy it but i also enjoy the us one i just dont try and compare them since it would probably ruin it for me
