Listen again, it’s definitely Angela.

I thought Meredith called for next meeting, not Angela.

Summary of deleted scenes (for international folk):

Number 1) Jim plays ping pong on the conference table with Creed, who reveals he learned to play in Cambodia. When Jim wins the point, Creed starts to take off his shirt, believing they are playing “strip pong”. When Jim is working out a problem with a client with Oscar, Pam is angry that he isn’t practicing, but when Jim goes back to play, he finds Stanley and Phyllis playing, and Angela calls for the “next meeting”. Jim plays with Andy, who gets increasingly frustrated when he loses the points.

Number 2) Not even worth a full recap. Michael gives an opening statement that’s similar to a standup routine, but when asked difficult questions he talks like Borat and “can’t stop”.

Is there a kind, bored individual who wouldn’t mind giving a play by play of the deleted scenes for us international fans? Especially the bossy Pam one?

I have to say, I like that these scenes were taken out. I don’t think they would have added anything to this episode

Haha, Borat! I loved Toby’s face in that. Oh god that was really a cringe worthy Michael moment!

Good call deleting that second scene. Weak.

That second deleted scene was completely off in my opinion…wasn’t very funny and was pretty unrealistic….It felt oddly forced. Glad it was taken out.

I’d like to make an opening statement…hilarous

Pam is too bossy! There is a reason this was deleted.

From the look on Jim’s face it seems to be the first time Pam showed her bossy side. I think Kelly just brought it out of her. I’m guessing Pam had to put up with a lot of smack talk from girls like Kelly in school so that’s why she was so obsessed with showing her up.

I’ve decided that last year was the year of FNB, but this seems to be the year of OOC Beesly. Oh, she’s gonna get what she wants. Come hell or high water. I hope her behavior in the deleted scene (ripping Jim away from an actual customer) got her a stern talking-to from her boyfriend after the episode.

Remember when she used to be sorta sweet? Yeah, that was cool.

I’d be just as pissed as Pam if Kelly annoyed me with her trash talking too.

Yeah, agreed, bossyPam is not a pretty color on her…

Oh, Creed. The creepier you get the more I’ll miss you…

40-45 minutes would be perfect. Bossy Pam is weird, out-of-character, and best left out of the episodes. The rest of the ping-pong stuff was hilarious and would have been better left in. At least it showed some more characters, which the actual episode lacked.

Angela only approves of office games with PONG in their name. Besides, you know Dwight trained her.

well, I am glad to see by some other people’s comments that I wasn’t the only one a little disjointed by Bossy!Pam. It did seem a little out of character. I loved seeing that Stanley can smile over something other than Pretzels though! hehe. And Creed = amazing (but we already knew that!)

Thanks for linking to the letter posts. Instead of watching the deleted scenes, I sent a postcard to Jeff Zucker telling him I want my writers back to work with a fair contract. I’ll just watch the deleted scenes when the DVDs come out after this strike is all over.

This scene was incredible, but Mean!Pam is not someone I like. I’m glad they showed the more subtle side of her…forcefulness last night. But it was great seeing Phyllis, Creed, and Andy.
“You’re not gonna punch a wall or me if you don’t get the point, right?” HA!
