Pam vs. Karen, Ken Burns style
Another great find from the LiveJournal Office community:
A Ken Burns-style mockumentary detailing the Pam vs. Karen conflict.
It has kind of an abrupt ending, but very funny nonetheless.
Mindy Kaling’s Office Party
aprilbegins over at the LiveJournal Office community has posted scans of a funny article about Mindy Kaling from the March issue of Venice Magazine.
An excerpt:
Because “The Office has such a sizeable ensemble, is it difficult to keep each character from getting lost or overshadowed?
The great thing about the show is none of these characters are alike; it’s like a zoo. We have every different animal in his or her own little cage, like a Stanley or a Meredith or a Dwight. You can poke each animal and they’ll make a sound and you write it down. I think the perfect kind of episode is one where we have a conference room scene and every character gets to say one thing that is very in character, one little hilarious remark. And I feel like I’ve done my job if I can service every character on the show.
(And did you guys know about Brenda? — I didn’t!)
