Mine is the harmony Michael adds to happy birthday when he returns from the 'wilderness' - happy birthday dear Crëeeeeēd
What about you - any particular moments that come to mind?
In “Drug Testing” (S2E12), Dwight comments that he likes his co-workers “generally” with “four exceptions.”
I’ve always wondered who the 4 were. Jim is obviously one of them, but what about the other 3?
Maybe Pam—for all of the times she eggs Jim on and laughs at Dwight—BUT he does seem to have a soft spot for her, even that early in the show (when he is concussed sure, but also when he asks for her advice on Valentines Day and then later comforts her when she cries.)
Who do you guys think?
My guess is that the list is
1.) Jim 2.) Toby (because Michael hates him) 3.) Ryan (because he is jealous of him) 4.) Kelly (because she is so annoying?)
P.S. before someone says: “it was just a joke there isn’t meant to be literally 4”, I understand, I’m just speculating for fun
I love to start my day with a healthy bowl of Jan.
hey!!! so i don't EVER want to be one of those people who make jim&pam hate posts, and this is not an example at all. i actually love them two (especially pam, i love pam) but this still caught my attention.
Robert California splits the office into winners and losers and take the winners out to lunch. why doesn't Jim stand up for his wife? i'm not saying he had to insult his actual boss, but at the moment that he called his wife a loser he should've gotten up and left. Andy did more for Pam than him (he defended every single one of his employees and i adore him for that), and i find it very annoying. he's a great husband most of the time, but he should have never put up with that disrespect towards his wife.
and the cute little list that he did for himself and his family later on is not enough to make up for the fact that he sat through the whole lunch leaving his “loser” wife at the office lol
Hey everyone. What do you think Holly wrote in her letter to Michael to make Pam say “it’s not over?” Also, if I were Michael, nothing would have stopped me from reading that letter. I don’t care what Pam thought. That said, why do you think she doesn’t let him read it?
Am I the only person who has made this observation? For example, when he introduces the branch to the new CFO (David Wallace) in New York, he wanders all throughout NYC, arrives on time to the corporate building, and even waits outside before entering an appropriate amount of time before the presentation. When he‘s invited to Wallace‘s house, he brings potato salad (that he does this poorly is very true, but he at least thought of it!). Also, his suits, shirts etc. have always been immaculate. Well fitting, not stained, etc.
In a way, he is great for representing the company, just not for doing actual business. Am I the only one who sees this?
Okay guys, so the other day there was a post questioning why Pam put makeup on her finger, for her “prank” with Jim’s brothers, in Employee Transfer. Well, I sent a message to Anthony Farrell on IG and just got a response! It definitely made my day!
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?
I mean… he traded Shaun Alexander, league MVP and #1 overall fantasy player for DEFENSE?? Are you kidding?
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?
