I can see why some of these were deleted. I felt like I had already seen that clip before! But the lineup of the episode was so good, it leaves me satisfied and more is just excess.

The show made an excellent call in leaving deleted scenes #1,2 and 4 out of the final cut of the episode. Michael was such an annoying jerk the entire episode; it’s hard to believe that the majority of the deleted scenes are ALL about racheting up his creepy and irritating behavior to Threat Level Midnight status. UGH.

Geez, will deleted scene 5 will be Michael driving Justin’s car into a lake, with Brad in the trunk?
Good call leaving 1, 2, & 4 out, over-the-top Michael is not a good thing! #3 really needed to be in there. It addressed obvious questions, and more importantly brought back clever, good-salesman Jim.

I loved the subtle dig at desperate recruiters who tell you what you want to hear ;)

The fourth scene…sheesh…Michael being an obnoxious jerk, again. I can easily see why it’s been excised. Let’s hope this isn’t a sign of a future shark-jumping, where the writers go “Ooh! Have we ever put Michael in THIS situation?”

That third scene calls back to Traveling Salesmen when we saw the mifflinites were actually good at their jobs.

The first two were wisely left out. The third one is awesome and definitely should have made the cut. The fourth one is pretty funny but makes Michael look like even more of a jerk in an episode where he was already a little too jerky for my taste, so another good call in my opinion.

i can see why they cut this scene out, it wasn’t really too funny but anything office related i like.

I love that clip! The title of it is perfect…Jim DOES know exactly what he’s doing!

JIM! Gah, I just fell in love with you even more now!

That third scene is awesome. I agree with the other posters that it would have been nice to keep it in… it was rather brief, and yet it made Jim look like less of a moron for choosing that particular grouping.

And it might have just been the funniest part of the episode. Sigh.

Loved, loved, LOVED the 3rd deleted scene. They really should’ve left it in…it explains SO much!

“Andy-Cornell-douche trifecta”

THAT is the funniest thing i have heard all week.

on the popped collar debate, it must be regional. i live in california and boys pop collars here likes it’s their job. when i saw the collar i thought “ha! how perfect”

#3 was fantastic! Ties in so well with Andy’s speech at the beginning about his grandfather spinning in his urn. I enjoy all the plotlines related to the Andy-Cornell-douche trifecta.

The popped collar thing is around, not extremely widespread, in that I think you would see more people who do not pop their collars. Originated on the golf course to keep some sun off your neck.

so now we all know the answer to the question “why did jim bring andy and kevin with him?” never mind gene and lee!

That third deleted scene is AWESOME! So funny and somewhat necessary for the plot. It really helped show that Jim was, in fact, trying. It was only 45 seconds!!! I wish they would have left it in.

But I am so glad they cut the first two deleted scenes. I don’t care for what they have been doing with Michael lately. They’re taking him closer to the David Brent character, who was, in my opinion, much more difficult to appreciate. I enjoy that Michael often manages to still be somewhat sympathetic as clueless as he is. If they completely move away from this, I will miss it.

53 | Ms. A. Knife -

As a recent Cornell grad, I agree with you, Andy is definitely a good representation of the student body! Some people there really are like him and it amazes me how accurately the writers portray that…clearly, someone on the writing staff went to or got rejected from Cornell and I love them for it.

Thanks Kate!!! So very much appreciated!

I just got the “what on earth are you watching?” from another room because I laughed so hard at the third deleted scene… several times.

My attempt to describe the scene:
Jim, Kevin and Andy are sitting at the table drinking beers, Kevin talking about how he will win lots of money from the client.
Kevin TH: “he’s not MY client!”
Jim TH: “If your client likes Italian, you take him to cuchinos, if your client likes a little action you bring him a gambler, and if your client hates Cornell… you bring him andy”
Andy tries to break club over his knee but just hurts himself.
Client: “that guy’s kind of a douche”
Jim: “yeah, well, Cornell…”
Of course I can’t do justice to all of Jim’s facial expressions!
