The Tuesday Tally

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Back in the real world now. Working in my humdrum little cubicle. Catching up on all the Office tidbits that have been sitting in my inbox for the past few days.

Here’s the good stuff:

  • Video: a very nicely done Office/Heroes mashup by seat18b.
  • Video: a clip from Oscar Nunez’s new Comedy Central show, Halfway Home.
  • Game: think you’re an Office quote master? Test your skillz at NBC’s Finish The Quote Game. (I was appalled at how badly I sucked at this.)
  • Award news: Kenneth Whittingham won an NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series” for his work on Season 2’s ‘Michael’s Birthday.’ Congratulations! See the full list of winners here.
  • Article: In Step With Rainn Wilson. Parade Magazine’s profile of Rainn, including some hilarious quotes.
  • Article: Office Party. How the show turned Scranton into a pop-culture hot spot. Some interesting details about plans to bring the Office cast to Scranton.

  1. Jennie — Yes! I noticed that and thought, “what???” is that really how it went? I think I was so beaten down by insecurity that I couldn’t even see that obviously it was incorrect.

  2. I wouldnt’ take that game so seriously, the quotes they have are incorrect.

    “get in your constructive critism compliements ASAP”

    haha

    Oddly finicky is RIGHT. It didn’t give me Benihana Christmas because the answer was A Benihana Christmas. Oh well.

    I knew what most of them were, but I didn’t get the EXACT right answers with every single word in place (as mentioned above). On my first try, I only got an 80. Darn thing!

  4. Oscar is hilarious in that clip!

  6. i don’t really like oscar’s role in this new sitcom, it seems too forced.

  7. Oh, sorry for the triple post. I forgot to say in my last one that I went back and redid it to count up my points from the close ones.

  8. I think I would have gotten around 150 if tiny mistakes hadn’t counted. Still not so hot. But I’ve never been great at remembering quotes.

    37 | NSpector  Wed. Mar. 7, 2007 at 1:23am

  9. Dwight, you got 420??? That’s what she said — 460 ?????

    I got a 65. And I didn’t realize til near the end that they were posting the whole quote if you got it wrong, so I don’t even know how many I was close on. But there were several where I just had no idea. Do most of you guys have freakishly good memories for this kind of thing, or do I just stink that much?

  10. THANK YOU Heeee’s a robot!

    Just finished. Got 195 points, but I was within one or two words on like 8 more of them. Bah.

    Still fun.

  11. IsThisOak:

    I had the same problem and after getting very angry at nbc.com and flash I realized that using the tab key works fine.

  12. I’m mad because I wrote out Seventh instead of 7th and they said incorrect - that’s crap. I was robbed.

    33 | laura  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 9:16pm

  13. I’m with you, Jennie, I did horribly!

    32 | Brad  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 9:12pm

  14. Link

    Has that clip in it and also a preview of the show.

    31 | Jordan  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 8:47pm

  15. I just took the contest, and I got a 460 out of 620.

    30 | That's what she said  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 7:50pm

  16. I know most of the answers, but it only let’s me submit them half the time! It’s driving me crazy!

    You know how your pointer arrow has to turn into a little hand before you can click something? Well when I hover over the submit button, it won’t let me click. Sometimes if I click something entirely different it let’s me submit it. It’s so frustrating! I’ve only gotten through the first five quotes because the site is randomly not working!

    Is anyone else having this problem? Ugh.

    29 | IsThisOak  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 7:43pm

  17. i got 195. i should of got more but i missed a few on ! or i put Machievelli instead of machiavelli. :/

    28 | Theo Zissou  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 7:34pm

  18. Wow, you guys are good! I got 130, and like others have said, it’s too picky with certain things. I knew most of the quotes, but not exactly word for word. I wish it still let you name the character and episode though, because I knew pretty much all of those.

    27 | Danielle  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 7:14pm

  19. I did the same thing, Adriana. I spelled it out because it was being so picky, and then I got it WRONG! It was fun until I capitalized Pretzel Day, and put a comma in the wrong place, then it was just frustrating.

    Wow, I am taking this REALLY seriously! :-) It was fun, though, really! I got 250…

    26 | Dying Star  Tue. Mar. 6, 2007 at 6:43pm

  20. 180. I agree that it’s WAY to nit-picky about absolute correct spelling and grammar. I knew most of the quotes, as well as who said them and in what episode…just maybe not verbatim.

    Oh well.
