I was just wondering where I could find the dress that Pam wears. The pretty strapless pink that she wears to their almost wedding.
Absolutely one of my favorite episodes ever!
-Dwight paying Erin for the art contest joke
-Kevin and the “cookie” scene with Michael
-The Andy and Kelly Dance off
These three scenes had me in tears.
There have been three other comments about Pam’s hair but none has mentioned the irony. Partially reverting to her style from earlier seasons, Pam pins back her hair, in preparing to elope with Jim. Conversely, in the second season, Pam unpins her hair in “The Secret” when Kelly asks how Pam will style her hair to wed Roy. We know from “Phyllis’s Wedding” that Pam had planned an elaborate wedding with Roy and we know from “Conflict Resolution” that Pam spent long hours on the preparations — the opposite of an elopement with Jim. Pam had too much delay from Roy but ultimately requests a delay from Jim, to which he (rightly) agrees. Of course, Pam did not really love Roy… I leave you to complete the analogy.

i liked it when erin interrupts michael dancing to david bowie and all of a sudden she joins him in dancing the song
Does anyone know where the Pimpin’ song can be purchased?
1000 Shrute Bucks to whomever knew the Pimpin’ song. It’s been driving me nuts since I saw the show.
Does anyone else think, after watching this episode, that Andy and Kelly would be kind of perfect for each other?
Great episode!! They really started to hit a good stride near the end of the season and all the episodes have been so funny.
I really really enjoyed this episode. I liked the Kelly/Andy interaction, and Erin is sooo sweet! She is just super enthusiastic about everything. I’m usually such a Jammy supporter, but I actually thought that bit was the least interesting once I guessed early on that they weren’t going to go through with it. I LOVED the classic comedy in this episode! Oh and Kevin’s doglike “trainers” had me in hysterics
PS Bob will NOT cheat on Phyllis. The end.
After JAM decided they love “cheesey” it would be funny if they asked Michael to be the DJ at the wedding..haha
And I also now have a Cafe Disco playlist on my Ipod..haha!
well done! i downloaded The Blam song and created my own little cafe disco moment. thanx.
YAY!! The complete playlist! I’ve been hoping for this all week.
Did anyone find out the hip hop song when Michael finds the party raging and Oscar is doing the head bob
What was Michael doing in the 2nd deleted scene with the garbage can?!
I’ve watched this one every day since Thursday. It’s just a perfect gem of an episode. And the music! I love it so much!
The “everybody dance now” I’m sure was an homage to Evan Almighty where he did the same thing (at the end for the credits, and elsewhere).
I’ve been reading people’s comments and I just have to say that it would be awful if Jim and Pam didn’t invite Michael to their wedding. He was the first one to push Jim after her and he adores them both. Michael was the only one to come to Pam’s art show and went to all that trouble to help her when she was in New York. He is a good friend to both of them. Do people just WANT to see Michael heartbroken? I think the “it might as well be dinner” line was enough.
For some reason the way Carrell mouthed “Everybody dance now” just cracked me up for a good minute.
Also strangely hilarious, when they wheel Phyllis into the office and Dwight closes the shades while the rest of the office looks on in bewilderment.
I thought the episode took a little while to get going, but the cast was having such a blast acting it that it won me over.
You know what made me smile the most in this episode? Realizing that despite his cold demeanor, Dwight is totally there for the women in the office when they are heartbroken. He sat with Pam while she cried over Jim and this time, he sat with Phyllis while she talked about Bob’s secretary. Very sweet and surprising.
What a GREAT episode!
Loved Dwight treating Phyllis like a horse.
“WHOOOAAA GIRL! WHOOOOOA…”
Great JAM scenes, and I always love to see the whole cast together having a good time.
I couldn’t get the smile off my face throughout the whole episode.
