An MBA with no experience is basically useless in the real world, to a competent hiring manager that is.

Karen has no managerial experience, either, however, if she was interviewed, she must be a pretty good salesperson.

Just a head scratcher to me.

To continue the trend of pointing out single scenes that irk viewers I'd like to share that mine is when Angela smashes that ice cream after Andy likes it playfully.

It irks me for the same reason a character who is written as someone too dumb to live irks me.

She does this and Andy just takes it. He doesn't dump her or anything which is so unbelievable it takes me out of it. I don't buy that love triangle at all.

Obviously still love the show but that particular scene kills the momentum for me on that whole dibocale.

Apologies if this has been brought up before, but did anyone ever consider that Dwight’s great grandfather could have been a Nazi? Dwight is Pennsylvania Dutch which comes from German bloodlines. In one episode, he mentions that his great grandfather is “still puttering around in Argentina”, which is where a lot of Nazis fled to after WWII. Am I grasping at straws or legit?

In the episode where Ryan makes Kelly break up with Darryl, the following scene shows Darryl walking towards his truck and he unlocks it.

I’ve watched the show like 5 times but I’ve never got this scene. What are they saying here?

Every time I pass Utica Street I think of Utica chain store massacre.

Including the warehouse. As a bonus I guess you can include a separate line for those who work in other branches or corporate.

Oscar and Robert California 😬 Never thought Jim was hot

Outside Scranton, Mr. Wallace

Please don’t jump me. The general commentary is that it’s bland with irrelevant deep dives, but what also puts me off of it is the fact that it seems like sometimes they… don’t get why the office is funny? Like of course they know it’s a funny show, but at times I don’t even feel like they “get” the humor and the core appeal of the show.

Like, when Jenna talks about the healthcare episode, and how at the end when Michael just stands there after claiming he had a surprise for them, that she thinks the scene was just awkward and long for television and might not make the cut to the final episode. For ppl who like the office’s humor, that scene is simply hilarious—the show at its MOST hilarious, actually. One of the first few scenes that truly hooked me on the show. She didn’t say anything about it being funny, just that it was weird. Suggesting not having that scene is sort of like not understanding what makes this show funny, idk.

And also, skipping over the “offensive” humor or ignorant jokes & basically acting like they don’t exist, also gives me that impression as well that they don’t “get” them and the ironic style of them in the way I would’ve thought they would, seeing as they played their characters amazingly. Does anyone have any similar thoughts? No attacking pls

First of all, I LOVE THEM ALL! Second of all, I KNOW its a comedy show. But when you rewatch something about 10 times, over and over, you just cant see it as if it is what it is, you start to notice some stuff, dislike others, like others...

That said, PHYLLIS IS KINDA BAD? I have seen a lot of people saying she is this fake mama bear and I know she was mean sometimes, but she is actually, like, Creed-bad after she married Bob (not gonna talk about the mob theory). There is that deleted scene where she says they killed a guy and drove away, something like that?

Now I'm watching the happy hour episode and she says that she usually goes to a bar, wear something hot, get the men there to hit on her and then Bob beats them up. Like (?).

I always noticed the mean things she SAID, but she is actually evil sometimes lol idk this bar phrase just switched a key in my head

^(Again, hard to take it as "just a show", I have rewatched it a whole bunch of times and It's not just a show with 100% no criticism from me me anymore, ofc, so spare me of the "YoU GuYS ThInK tOO Much INtO iT, UH GEN ABCDEFG")

For the most part, I can tell why jokes got cut. Are there any scenes that stick out to you in particular that you felt added to the show?

He was WAY more mature in his relationship with her than any other couple in the office.

Think about it, he restrains so much from his childish instincts with her, even doesn’t say “that’s what she said” in one episode. He carefully thoughtout their proposal. He denied her in the break room, more like interrupted but still, he wanted their proposal to be perfect.

  Pam and Roy were engaged for over 3 years

  Angela cheated with Dwight while engaged to Andy

  Andy left Erin on a boat for 3 months

  Erin dumped Gabe in front of everyone at the 
  Dundies

  Gabe looks like a transvestite

  Ryan has major commitment issues (aka he cheats 
  all the time)

  Kelly cheats on Ryan a lot

  Holly was going to propose to Michael in a break 
  room right after saying her father isn’t doing well,  
  trying to pressure him into it

And the list goes on and on. Think of any character, think about their relationships. None of them handle any situation or really even know how to be in a relationship as well as Michael. Even with Jan he was much more rational than her and was a better partner than her to him. Take the money situation for example. She was way overspending his money then tried to blame him for them being broke when she obviously caused it.

Michael’s intelligence in comparison to other characters is honestly fascinating. Everyone thinks he’s an idiot, but then when you really look at the results of his actions you understand his logic.

Michael even is good with the guys who are with the person he wants, except that time he started shouting at AJ in the conference room. But besides that like at the picnic with AJ he handles the whole situation very well, then he admits that their relationship may take a long time but eventually “it’ll be perfect.” And it was in the end.

Just turned 30 last week, watercolour is something I’ve been working on for roughly 4 years and it’s been pretty cool progress, but I’ve got a ways to go. I’ve been fiddling with this one for a few days due to depression BUT Luckily I got a job for the first time in over a year!! Jazzed. Hope it works out despite not having as much time for art anymore. Cuz food is necessary?! And it costs money.

Sometimes I just sit here and stare at it for hours…..

The episodes I know for sure were the Michael Scott paper company story arch ones, but I can remember there were a few more but I just can remember exactly which ones

In all the post-Michael episodes, Nellie is by far the worst. I liked Andy, I liked Robert California, hell I even liked Deangelo… but I just really dislike Nellie.
