The Office Part 2: Ain't No Party Like a Scranton Party

[MrBrau1]

Schrute: "Don't you want to earn Schrute Bucks?"

Stanley: "No, in fact, I'll give you a billion Stanley Nickels if you never talk to me again."

Schrute: "What's the ratio of Stanley Nickels to Schrute Bucks?"

Stanley: "Same as the ratio of Unicorns to Leprechauns."

That's the funniest thing I've ever seen on network tv. Legendary.

I hadn't seen the convention episode before last night and it was fantastic. Can Jenna Fischer and John Krasinksi please get Emmy nominations? The academy has a lot to make up for with nominating Kevin James last year and dissing "Gilmore Girls" for the past seven years, nominations for those two could be a good step toward redeeming the Emmys.

I'd want Rainn Wilson nominated before those two. David Hyde Pierce and Sean Hayes were nominated basically every year they were on their shows, so why not Dwight?

True, but it would be nice to see less broad supporting actors recognized.

 

[LMP]

But they would have to recognize Kristen Bell from Veronica Mars before any of these people. She kicks serious ass.

And this is one of the funniest Office vids I've ever seen:

The way Dwight says Schrute makes me laugh, but when he says Schrute Buck, I lose it.

Poor girl.

Fischer Looking at 12 Week Recovery From Back Injury


The Office star Jenna Fischer needs another 12 weeks to fully recover from fracturing her back in four places while falling down a flight of stairs in a New York bar earlier this month. The actress, who plays Pam Beesly in the U.S. comedy, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan after the fall at Buddakan on May 15. The 33-year-old still finds sleeping at night extremely difficult. She says, "I had a rough night last night. I'm mostly off the meds, but I did take some last night because sleeping is probably the most uncomfortable thing right now. I just can't get comfortable. My back doctor said it will be about 12 weeks until I'm fully recovered." During her fall, Fischer knew she was about to be seriously injured. She adds, "I was going to do one dance and then get out of there. The dance floor was down a long set of marble stairs. I linked arms with my friend and just missed a step. All I know is I was suddenly not on the ground anymore. My legs flipped out from underneath me, and while I was in the air, I had the thought, 'This isn't going to end well.' I've never felt anything like it. I was horribly nauseous and dizzy."

she's 33??
i would have never guessed

Call me crazy, but after watching Batman again, I've realized that John Krasinski reminds me a lot of Michael Keaton.

The eyes, facial expressions, mannerisms are all really similar.

Do you really expect me to not push you up against the wall on September 4, beeyotch?

 

[LMP]

That is about 100000000x better than the cover for season 2.

 

[dsmith2904]

The mini-marathon last night was very cool. I can't believe how many really talented people are in that "License to Wed" and that you still couldn't pay me to see it.

I'd like to see people's rankings of Season 3 episodes.

 

[LMP]

I'll bite:

1. Business School
2. The Convict
3. The Job
4. The Coup
5. Initiation
6. Gay Witch Hunt
7. Grief Counseling
8. Traveling Salesmen
9. A Benihana Christmas
10. Safety Training
11. Product Recall
---
12. The Return
13. Branch Closing
14. The Merger
15. Beach Games
16. Women's Appreciation
17. Ben Franklin
18. The Negotiation
---
19. Back from Vacation
20. Cocktails
21. The Convention
22. Diwali
23. Phyllis's Wedding

Business School and The Convict are in my Top 5 with The Injury, Drug Testing, and Casino Night. It's hard to beat Prison Mike, but Michael business presentation + Dwight and the bat + Jim pretending to be a vampire is classic.

This season was pretty good. It wasn't as solid as Season 2, which probably won't be topped, but the best episodes are some of the best of the entire series while the last 2 I mentioned are absolutely horrible. I divided the lists into tiers, obviously the higher an episode places on the list, the more likely I'll rewatch it.

I don't have any commentary right now. I'm tired. I'll comment later.

I loved Initiation, but not many Office fans I know did.

Well I have one word for all you naysayers out there:

That part was good, but overall, Ryan being Ryan isn't really entertaining.

 

[LMP]

This is true. He and Kelly are my least favorite characters.

I still love the idea that he's going to be Michael's boss next year though, that could actually be promising.

Revenge for calling him in early to buy an egg and cheese sandwich...

 

[LMP]

Michael's man-crush on Ryan is maybe my favorite subplot of the entire show.

I love the cold open where Michael is just staring at Ryan through the blinds of his office.

What am I going to do with the award? I have no idea. That's the least of my concerns right now.

 

[LMP]

Good pop culture reference

I award you One... Schrute buck.

 

[phillyfan26]

I love how he actually writes "Motivational Tool" on the Schrute buck.

 

[LMP]

I gave Schrute bucks to all of my friends who attended my birthday party.

I gave Schrute bucks to all of my friends who attended my birthday party.

And you couldn't invite me?! Unacceptable.

I needed some motivation. That Schrute buck would have done the trick.


Oh yeah, and that cover is pretty much the best thing I've seen in a long time.

"Hey guys, this is my friend I met somewhat anonymously through a U2 message board. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure she's not a crazy person or anything. Hope you get along!"

Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened to me.



...pfft yes it would.
