"That's what she said:" The Office thread

[powerslave_85]

Discuss the brilliance of the show, favorite episodes, quotes, what have you. Also, make predictions about the last three episodes of the season. Is Toby really leaving? Is Ryan's drug problem going to get worse? Is Jim going to propose? I saw a thing on EW where Jenna Fischer said that next week we're going to learn something big about Pam that we didn't know. Should be interesting.

I only really started watching it this past fall, during which time, I've become obsessed and watched every single episode. Still one of my favorite shows, god it is so fucking awesome.

Saw two eipsodes of this zany real life documentary about corporate whores; the basketball one, where the genius writers rehash the always funny and fresh joke about blacks being good at the game, and the episode where Lumberg pissed off Milton and he burns the place down. Oh wait, that last one was from a movie that was actually funny.

Exactly. It's funny, but it's not the lord and savior to TV comedy that all its fanboys think it is.

It is the best show on television right now, hands down. I've never been genuinely disappointed by an episode.

Favorite line from the show? Probably:

Michael: "That would have showed him up. If I brought some burritos, or pad thai, or colored greens."
Stanley: "It's collard greens."
Michael: "No, that doesn't make any sense. We don't call you collard people."

or

Michael: "You don't call retarded people retards. You call your friend retards when they're acting retarded."

or (EDIT)

Michael: "I didn't mean gay like homosexual. I meant gay like bad at sports."

Some of my favorites:

Michael: "Toby works for corporate, so he's not really part of our family. He's also divorced, so he's not really part of his family either."

Pam (talking about "Take Your Daughter To Work Day"): "I just want one kid to like me, so I'm going to put extra candy on my desk so they'll come talk to me. *pause* Like the witch from Hansel and Gretel."

Dwight: "I don't have much experience with vampires. I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbors dog."

Jim: "You know I just realized, this is Pam's and my first night away together. I used to play it over in my head, and it was just a little bit different. Maybe a, uh, nice hotel, or a romantic dinner? Wine. But...wine that wasn't made out of beets. Didn't think Dwight would be involved at all. And, uh, I always imagined less manure. I mean, some manure, just...less."

Its funny, but I dont think the obsession is warranted.

Still, I'll concede that there are worse shows to be obsessed over.
