I used to be ambivalent about Ben Franklin, but I rewatched it recently and I absolutely love the BEn Franklin Character!

Chocolate!! Where did you acquire it? That’s a delicacy in the Amazon!

GD Girlfriend means “GOD DAMN” or perhaps “GOSH DARN” “You are the best ‘GOD DAMN’ girlfriend in the world”

The Ben Franklin episode is one my favorites! i laughed so hard at Jim talking about getting a stripper from “Banana Slings” and also Elizabeth the stripper on a very nervous and uncomfortable Michael’s lap–classic. Watching that epi hooked 2 of my friends on the show.

Marksiwel and Jonk:

Andrew Daly (of MAD TV fame) played Ben Franklin. Here’s his IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0198408/

Jackie Debatin (who has been on every TV show to man apparently; look at her IMDB page!) played Elisabeth. Here’s her IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0213339/

I had to do some research, too, because like Marksiwel said, I couldn’t place where I’d seen Ben Franklin before and it was driving me “Andy Rocking Robin” crazy! ;)

when i first heard about angela spitting out the champagne and pregnancy i just brushed it off like well she is hardcore religious and drinking isnt really shined upon but when the stripper commented on her “offensive” according to oscar poster and she looked at it and saw the babies it really makes you think

Did anyone else notice that when Pam was talking about sleep in the break room with Jim, there is a bag of chips behind her in the vending machine called ‘Specials’? Is it a hint ?!?!

P.S. There were also Pork Rind chips too, so maybe it wasn’t an intentional nod to the whole JAM thing. Although Jim does love his Ham sandwiches.

Pork? Ham? Anyone?

Anybody know the actress’ name who played Elisabeth the Stripper? I know I’ve seen her before, but I don’t know where. Thanks.

another reason angela could be pregnant is when dwight put the stripper and she fanned herself off and looked like she was going to be sick, if you remember earlier michael said the stripper smelled like tide, and when your pregnant can’t you sometimes smell things stronger, or things make you feel sick. but this could also be becasue she was a stripper and angela would just do that.

rar728,

See, I interpreted that scene differently. I guess it could go either way. I’m sure Angela wouldn’t admit in front of her officemates that she was on the pill. But I could also see Dwight being happy that Angela wasn’t on the pill (he’s probably thinking “great, field hands for the beet farm!”).

This is what I love about this show! It’s not all just fed to you with a spoon. Sometimes in life, people say things that you can’t quite figure out.

Who Played Ben Franklin, it is driving me crazy, “Andy Rocking Robin” Crazy, I just want to punch a hole in a wall.

In response to the Dwangela pregnancy:

Have you noticed that Dwight is maturing as the season moves along? Look at how he acted last season. He’s such a different person now. He acts more and more like an adult every episode now that he has found someone that he truly cares about. And Angela HAS been known to surprise us sometimes (such as LIKING Dwight in the first place, haha!), so a pregnancy is something I could DEFINITELY see in the near future.

Yeah I don’t understand Karen… Jim is obviously still in love with Pam so why would they still be together? If I were her I wouldn’t still be with him if he was openly in love with her. I like Karen and all, but I am honestly just waiting for her and Jim to split !

Ok, i don’t know if someone said this or not already but here goes:

Why was karen so confident that the kiss between Jim and Pam meant nothing. Especially since he told her that he still had feelings for Pam.
Am i the only one that thought that was just a little bit weird?

m3k1,

In Dwight and Angela’s conversation about whether she was taking any prescription drugs, I took her look to mean, “Duh, of course I’m on the pill.” I think Dwight even looks somewhat relieved after that, if I remember correctly.

I agree it would be awesome if The Office was extended to an hour! But that probably won’t happen. So we have to make do with 30 min. (which is actually only 20 min. if you don’t count commercials).

I think it was Greg Daniels who said recently that the broadcast episodes are really just ads for the DVD. When that comes out, then you’ll get all the extra stuff those with broadband access are seeing now. Kind of a bummer, but it does allow everyone to experience the shows so much more than in the “old” days 20 years ago when what you saw on the air was IT!
