The one and only "the office" thread

[SR]

I am older. I am wiser. Don't mess with me.

[frauschieze]

I don't talk trash, I talk smack. They're totally different. Trash talk is all hypothetical like, your momma's so fat she could eat the internet. But smack talk is happening like right now. Like, you're ugly and I know it for a fact 'cause I got the evidence right there.

With the writers strike almost over does anyone know when they will air new episodes?

Next fall.

Next fall.

My clones tell me April or May.

In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, "Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me and I'm dead." Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion. You're dead."”

[DallasChief]

My clones tell me April or May.

Ok, I hope so.

I had read about a month ago that the rest of this season was over for most shows. There wasn't enough time to get out new episodes before the summer.

[Broncospsycho77]

My clones tell me April or May.

I also have sources confirming this *cough Googlenews cough*

[Broncospsycho77]

Michael: A boss is like a teacher. And I am like the cool teacher. Like Mr. Handell. Mr. Handell would hang out with us. And he would tell us awesome jokes. And he actually hooked up with one of the students. Um, and then like twelve other kids came forward. It was in all the papers. Really ruined eighth grade for us

[Snapping Turtle]

Identity theft is not a joke Jim. :tsk:

[SR]

I was watching the movie Jarhead yesterday and Jim Halpert is in that movie for a split second. He's the admin guy who hooks up Gillenhall (sp?) with all the booze.

[DallasChief]

My clones tell me April or May.

April 10 is when the NYT says a new episode could be done by.

[DallasChief]

Michael: Ladies and Gentlemen. I have some bad news. Meredith was hit by a car.
Jim: What?
Dwight: Where?
Michael: It happened this morning in the parking lot. I took her to the hospital, and the doctors tried to save her life. They did the best that they could... And she is going to be OK.
Stanley: What is wrong with you? Why did you have to phrase it like that?
Oscar: So she's really going to be fine?
Michael: Yes. She has a slight pelvical fracture, but, ah... people have survived far worse.
Pam: Thank God you were there.
Michael: Yeah.
Andy: Did you see who did it?
Dwight: No need we can just check the security tapes.
Michael: Gah. Kind of a good news bad news there. I was able to be on the scene so quickly because I was in the car that hit her.

[DallasChief]

Dwight: It's only Meredith.
Michael: Yeah, it's only Meredith, thank God. But did you see the way they looked at me? Like I was a murderer or something.
Dwight: Hey... Why did you do it?
Michael: It was an accident.
Dwight: Was she talkin' back?
Michael: No.
Dwight: Did you get sick of that face? Did she owe you money? Uh-oh. Is this downsizing? Did she spurn your advances?

[SR]

I've got the first 8 episodes of season four on my external hard drive. I just finished the episode where Micheal drives the Taurus in to a lake with Dwight. Greatness.

I'm sporting my "Support the Rabid" rubber bracelet right now too. My buddy is a huge office fan and he bought his crew (and me, but I'm not part of his crew) these bracelets. They pretty much rock.

Women are like wolves, you have to trap it....Then, to keep it happy, you have to tame it. Feed it, care for it. Lovingly. The way an animal deserves...and my animal deserves a lot of loving.

[In-com-plete]

Bros before hoes. Why? Because, your bros are always there for you. They have got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason. And you were nothing but great to your ho. And you told her that she was the only ho for you. And that she was better than all the other hoes in the world. And then.....then suddenly she's not yo' ho no mo'.

[SR]

Those are cool.

I remember you saying something about that. When I get home I plan on getting one of those "Schrute Farms Beets" long sleeved t-shirts that he wore for the rabies run. :D

I saw that episode last night. Hilarious stuff. I hadn't ever watched an entire episode til yesterday. It was great though. I'll be watching the re-runs for now, and when the new episodes air, I'll be watching.

[Snapping Turtle]

Pam: What was the worst part about prison?
PRISON MIKE: The worst part about prison was...the dementors.

[MHCBill]

Dwight: One time I killed a werewolf. Somehow though when I went towards it... it had changed back to my neighbors dog.

[slim]

Michael Scott: ...some burritos or some colored greens or some pad thai.
Stanley: It's collard greens.
Michael Scott: What?
Stanley: It's collard greens.
Michael Scott: That doesn't make sense. You don't call them 'collard people'... that's offensive.

[slim]

Jim as Dwight: Question: What kind of bear is best?
Dwight: That's a ridiculous question.
Jim as Dwight: False. Black Bear.
Dwight: Well that's debatable, there are basically two schools of thought..
Jim as Dwight: Fact: Bears eat beets.
Dwight: Oh..
Jim as Dwight: Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica!

[Italianmobstr7]

"Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, "Would an idiot do that?" And if they would, I do not do that thing."

[Italianmobstr7]

Dwight Schrute: "I have been Michael’s number two guy for about 5 years. And we make a great team. We’re like one of those classic famous teams. He’s like Mozart and I’m like...Mozart's friend. No. I’m like Butch Cassidy and Michael is like...Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart? You’re gonna get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."

[In-com-plete]

Michael Scott: In the future if I want to say something funny or witty or do an impression I will no longer EVER do any of those things.
Jim Halpert: Does that include "That's what she said?"
Michael Scott: Mmm hmm yes.
Jim Halpert: Wow that is really hard. You really think you can go all day long? Well, you always left me satisfied and smiling, so...
Michael Scott: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

[MHCBill]

Creed: Is somebody making soup?

[Broncospsycho77]

(Jim, Kevin, Oscar and Karen are gathered at Pam's desk trying to guess how many jelly beans are in her jar)
Kevin: Ten.
Oscar: Really? Ten? That's your guess? You're a professional accountant.
Jim: There's like ten green ones.
Oscar: Fourty-two.
Jim: I'm gonna say fifty.
Karen: Fifty-one.
Jim:Oh come on!
Kevin: That is lame!
Karen: It's a strategy!
Pam: It's called being smart!
Karen: Thank you.
(Pam begins counting them)
Pam: Ten.
Jim: Kev's out.
Kevin: Damnit!

[Italianmobstr7]

Mr. Brown: At Diversity Today, we believe it's very easy to be a hero. All you need are honesty, empathy, respect, and open-mindedness.
Dwight Schrute: Ah, excuse me? I'm sorry, but that's not all it takes to be a hero.
Mr. Brown: Great, well, what is a hero to you?
Dwight Schrute: A hero kills people, people that wish him harm. A hero is part human and part supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a disaster, that must be avenged.
Mr. Brown: Uh, you're thinking of a superhero.
Dwight Schrute: We all have a hero in our heart.

[Italianmobstr7]

Pam: [during a role-playing exercise] Okay, if I have to do this, based on stereotypes that are totally untrue, that I do not agree with, you would maybe..not be a very good driver.
Dwight Schrute: [role playing as an Asian] Aw, man! I'm a woman?

[Italianmobstr7]

Michael Scott: Abraham Lincoln once said that 'If you're a racist, I will attack you with the North' and these are the principles I carry with me in the workplace.

This thread just isn't the same without DC.

One of my favorite all-time clips:

Andy is by far my favorite character.

[tubby]

Last week was great!

[SR]

Have you guys been keeping up for the past three weeks?! The episode of the dinner at Jan and Micheal's house was the best..."it's got a very oaky afterbirth"

[NightTrainLayne]

Is it just me or does it seem that the show has lost it's edge a little bit?

I have still enjoyed these past few episodes, but it just seems that it's fading a bit.

[SR]

I think it's building up to something great.

[Broncospsycho77]

I think that the first few episodes of the season are for "setting the scene" purposes. Today, hopefully, will be great. Checked the TV Guide; any episode involving Dwight and Andy is always good...

[Andy pulls out candy bar, turns to Dwight]
Andy: Halfsies?
[Dwight takes candy bar]
Dwight: No, wholesies.

:lol:

[SR]

The little description of the show on my digital cable says "Andy sells Dwight his car".

[Broncospsycho77]

GREAT episode yesterday. Totally quotable... love it when Stanley snapped.

"Leave me alone, dammit!"

[Rex]

GEM: Could you please say to me "These are due on Thursday"?

[SR]

Last night was friggin great. Between Ryan cracking down on Jim, Stanley blowing up at Micheal, and Dwight screwing Andy over, things are getting mighty interesting.

[aberdien]

Yeehaw The Office.

[Broncospsycho77]

Season finale this week... a one-hour episode dubbed "Goodbye Toby".

I predict that this one's gonna be weird, especially with the Toby/Pam thing, and my prediction is that there is a stand-off between Ryan and Jim... and Jim might get fired...

These last few episodes before this have finally gained a little steam, but not up to par with the other seasons, so let's hope this one is unforgettable.

[Broncospsycho77]

*bump*

New episode tonight, in about a half hour. Dubbed "Business Ethics", so should follow the classic formula.

I'm excited.

dang, we missed it! will have to watch online. luv this show...hubby got me hooked on it. crazy dwight....:laugh:

How do you tell someone that you care for deeply. . . . "I told you so"?

[tubby]

How do you tell someone that you care for deeply. . . . "I told you so"?

You don't.

I'm not going to say a word after you punch cswil in the face.

[SR]

Got it on the DVR and plan on watching it here in a bit.

[DallasChief]

Would you steal bread to feed your family?

[DallasChief]

It's a trick question. The bread is poisoned. Also, it's not your real family. You've been cuckolded by a stronger, smarter male.

[Buff]

It's a trick question. The bread is poisoned. Also, it's not your real family. You've been cuckolded by a stronger, smarter male.

Holy shit, I about cried I was laughing so hard after that...

[Broncospsycho77]

Dwight, you're... a thief of joy.

Also, after the 19 minutes of "personal time", I about pissed myself when Dwight looks over at the camera and smiled. LMAO.

[SR]

It's a trick question. The bread is poisoned. Also, it's not your real family. You've been cuckolded by a stronger, smarter male.

That cracked me up! My buddy Dave and I were watching season three DVDs before we hit the bar and we laughed like retards. We watched the episode with the watermark on the paper where Jim comes in dressed like Dwight and the episode where Andy gets stuck on the lake in the sumo suit. Greatness.

[DallasChief]

Where's my golden shower, Phyllis?

[gnomeflinger]

I haven't watched any shows this season yet. I have one more from last season to watch.

Mr. GF doesn't watch The Office but he had to admit the dinner party was hilarious.

[SR]

I was rather disappointed with tonight's episode. It was hilarious up until about the first commercial break, but once Jan got there the episode kinda blew. Is it me, or is not much going on this season? It's like they're building up to something huge, but taking the whole season to do it.

[NightTrainLayne]

I'm crowning! I'm crowning!

[DallasChief]

Astird...it's a Nordic princess.

[Rex]

Where is my golden shower?

[DallasChief]

Newborns are slippery.

[DallasChief]

Babies are one of my many areas of expertise. Growing up, I performed my own circumcision.

[NightTrainLayne]

Where is my golden shower?

We gave you a beautiful golden shower.

[DallasChief]

Jan had the baby, and Michael wasn't there to mark it. So the baby could be anybody's. Except Michael's.

[DallasChief]

I didn't feel much, when I held Astrid... But I got a good feeling from Holly.

[NightTrainLayne]

I didn't feel much, when I held Astrid... But I got a good feeling from Holly.

You want to hold me and see if you feel something?

[tubby]

Wanna go out?

[Rex]

DC,
Will you do one thing for me? Dont date Tubby.

[Broncospsycho77]

As. Tird.

[DallasChief]

It does not matter to me at all whether this baby is biologically mine. I’m going to love it. It’s like when the dog nurses the tiger cub. Have you seen that video? It is so bizarre and unnatural, but, it... it happens.

[DallasChief]

Twelve hundred dollars is what I spent on my whole bomb shelter. For that kind of money, this stroller, should be indestructible.

[Broncospsycho77]

This baby will be related to Michael through... delusion.

[gnomeflinger]

Astird...it's a Nordic princess.

I did happen to see this episode. I was dying the first part of it. Dwight's product testing of the stroller was great.

I about cried with the watermelon.

[SR]

Nice sig DC. We go together like lamb and tuna fish.

[Broncospsycho77]

I really hope they cast Jan out. She's past her usefulness, and she's probably my least favorite character on the show.

Next week's show is supposedly more about Pam in New York, so we'll see how the writers treat that one.

[SR]

I can't stand Jan. I've never been able to.

[Broncospsycho77]

Creed as the Joker: Best thing I've ever seen.

And Jim as "Dave" was pretty good as well.

[SR]

Tonight's episode was pretty damn funny.

[Broncospsycho77]

Tonight's episode was pretty damn funny.

I thought so too. The Dwight/Andy thing was really funny ("none percent"), and the Michael story was a bit sad, but pretty feel-good at the end for some reason. Darrell's still BA.

[SR]

When Micheal, Holly, and Darrell were driving to NH and Micheal fell asleep then woke up screaming I damn near spit out my Dr Pepper.

[SR]

Thursday night's episode was pure gold. IMO, it was the best episode of the entire season and probably one of the best since the show started back up in April following the writer's guild strike.

[Broncospsycho77]

Mr. Bill Buttlicker.

I laughed for the entire commercial break. My abs hurt, I was crying... it was gold.

They should definitely go back to episodes that are pointless like that; not so centered on Michael and Jim-Pam (well, until the end). Totally classic.

[SR]

That episode definitely brought me back to the season three type episodes, which are genius. Episodes like that are what made me so in to this show. There is still a story line to follow, but the whole thing with Jim and Dwight then Dwight and Angela/Andy at the end was great. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Pam and Jim after that art school knucklehead showed up at Pam's work...

[aberdien]

Got the first season of The Office on DVD for my birthday...I cannot wait to watch.

[SR]

After you're done with the first season, you'll want seasons two, three, and four. Season three is by far the best season.

[Broncospsycho77]

Not a spectacular episode tonight... seemed like one of those transition ones where something else is going to open up later. The Oscar/Andy thing was kind of funny (beer me dos Long Island Iced Teas :lol:). I felt really bad for Michael at the end.

[SR]

I think they're going to can Micheal. I cracked up when the temp dropped down and started doing push ups. Idiot. Pam looked smokin hot at the end though.

[Broncospsycho77]

I think they're going to can Micheal. I cracked up when the temp dropped down and started doing push ups. Idiot. Pam looked smokin hot at the end though.

I thought that too. And then Dwight showed up from nowhere :lol:.

I'm thinking that Michael may resign at some point and rebound and do something stupid to get his job back... it's a very Office-like plot twist.

[SR]

Could be

[DallasChief]

Could be

Thats what she said.

[SR]

Fail.

[DallasChief]

Fail.

Bears beat Battlestar Galactica.

[Broncospsycho77]

Should be pretty entertaining tonight.

The return of Toby. And I'm sure Michael will flip a la "I'm going to hit you with a hammer" like he did in season 3.

[SR]

Bears beat Battlestar Galactica.

No dude. It's "Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica".

[Broncospsycho77]

Michael upon seeing Toby: Nooo! Please God! Nooo! NO!

The perfect reaction. I was in tears. And Toby was just standing there... OMG LMAO.

[Broncospsycho77]

Jim: I'm gonna need three copies of these stapled and correlated...... I'm totally kidding... I'm gonna need four.

[SR]

The episode Thursday night was pretty good. The tension between Andy, Dwight, and Angela cracks me up.

[slim]

Angela: But my biggest concern is that there's only one bathroom.
Dwight: We'll dig a trench. As long as it's downhill from the well, we should be fine.

[aberdien]

I got seasons 2 and 3 for Christmas and I got through 3 discs of season 2 today.

Best 5 hours of my life ever.

[Broncospsycho77]

I got seasons 2 and 3 for Christmas and I got through 3 discs of season 2 today.

Best 5 hours of my life ever.

Season 3's by far my favorite. Have that season on DVD and watch them regularly. It's just epic.

Lord, beer me strength.

[gnomeflinger]

I think it was Wednesday night, there was an episode on TBS. It was the one where there was a joint butt found in the parking lot. I love The Office.

[aberdien]

The first episode of season 3 is brilliant. I cracked up so much.

[sneakers]

My roommate says that I remind him of the guy Dwight on the show...never really watched the show.

[Italianmobstr7]

I love The Office. Favorite show ever. Never miss an episode thanks to the good ol' DVR. Have season 1-4 on DVD. Best show on TV.

[aberdien]

Season 4 will be bought by me tomorrow.

Oh, a good day it will be.

[Watchthemiddle]

The first episode of season 3 is brilliant. I cracked up so much.

Re-fresh my memory. which one is that?

One of my all time favorite's is when Andy Bernard is trying to remember the Kit kat theme song..

Gimme a break, gimme a break..break me off a piece of that fancy feast.:laugh:

[aberdien]

Oscar comes out.

[EMB6903]

what in the hell is up? Michael and pam are quitting dunder mifflin?

I hope its a dwight situation in season 4 because without Michael as a main character this show is going to go down hill...

[Broncospsycho77]

what in the hell is up? Michael and pam are quitting dunder mifflin?

I hope its a dwight situation in season 4 because without Michael as a main character this show is going to go down hill...

Nah, Michael will be back. They're not gonna write off Pam and Michael... that would ruin half of the storylines. More Dwight-Jim stuff in the office would be a nice addition, though. I hate Charles.

[gnomeflinger]

Hey, the season is on. Let The Office talk commence!

[SR]

I forgot all about this thread!!!

[gnomeflinger]

I had to a search because I was certain there was one. Love this show!

[Chica_Ang]

oh! i am sooo happy! the office is on at 7p for an hour, EVERY DAY on the west coast!!! WOWWWW

dwight is much better at hiding than deer are at seeing....:lol:
