Get a sneak peak of a deleted scene from ‘The Office’ Season 4 DVD — from your cell phone! Text “SCENE” to 62288 from your mobile device to download the clip. I hear it might be a deleted scene from the episode “Did I Stutter?” (I can’t view it myself because I have an iPhone, which doesn’t support WAP sites. If you know a workaround, please post a comment!)

BestBuy’s online store in Canada is now showing an image of its exclusive package of ‘The Office’ Season 4 DVD. Looks like it uses similar packaging from last year, and includes a Fun Run wristband, t-shirt, and water bottle. Retails for CAD $39.99 (or US $38.30 at current rates).
If this will also be sold in the U.S., this is a great deal, since buying the wristband, t-shirt, and water bottle at the NBC store alone would total US $37!

The Office DVD website has been updated with a Season 4 page, and even though the trailer doesn’t contain any real new footage, I still watched it, like, five times in a row. :)
Hopefully we’ll see blooper clips soon!

OVERVIEW:
The Office is back with even more inappropriate remarks, uncomfortable silences, and obnoxious behavior in the complete fourth season of the Primetime Emmy® Award-winning series! Steve Carell (40 Year-Old-Virgin) is back in his Golden Globe® -winning role as Michael Scott, the clueless boss of the Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch who manages to create unending comical drama despite his best intentions. Trusty and loyal assistant-to-the-regional manager Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) continues to uphold the office honor as Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) find ways to meddle with him and encourage Michael’s hysterics. Plus, see “wunder kid” Ryan (B.J. Novak) in his new role at corporate as he pushes the infinite limits of Dunder Mifflin, often pushing Michael to his limits as well.

374 | Ethan Wed. Aug. 27, 2008 at 2:41pmI ordered on the 21st and my order has not been canceled. I really hope everything goes through!
Fellow Canadians: Did you have your orders cancelled for the exclusive Best Buy package? I’m trying to find out if anyone was able to get this, as I ordered it a week ago and had my order cancelled today and I talked to someone else, and his was cancelled even though he ordered his very early. :(
I wonder if it was never available up here to start and it was posted accidentally.
I hope we will still get it in-store…
373 | Matt Wed. Aug. 27, 2008 at 9:06amOffice Tally gets a shout out in the DVD commentary for “Did I Stutter?”. Rainn talks about Dwight’s excellent chart, and he mentions that it’s available at Office Tally.
[from tanster: that was awesome!]
372 | kreidy Wed. Aug. 27, 2008 at 12:39amIs that pizza blooper you all are talking about on the Internets somewhere?
371 | Tyler Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 6:06pm364, Lila:
The best part of the whole blooper is when Andy pretends to punch Phyllis in the face and she falls to the ground!
370 | andyroke Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 4:13pmLove the deleted scenes! And EW Michael didn’t wash his hands…
369 | Diapers Schrute Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 2:21pm#364, Lila: I completely agree - that Pizza by Alfredo gag was the funniest Office-related thing I’ve ever seen. I laughed until tears were streaming down my face. The blooper reel is definitely going to be the first thing I watch when I finally get my hands on these DVDs! Only one more week!
368 | Kenna Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 9:50amThat first menu is the perfect menu for a hidden easter egg: If you wait for the square to reach the corner, it opens a menu with secret footage. That would rock.
367 | Ethan Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 9:45amThe deluxe edition is only available at Best Buy…not Target.
366 | Steven Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 9:20am363, Andi-
Last year, Target’s special was in-store only. I assume the case is the same this year.
365 | phyllis*farm Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 8:54amthat1guypictures-
During the convention, they did show one hilarious blooper that I’m really hoping is included on the dvd. The one where Michael tells the gang he ordered from the wrong pizza place and they all start flipping out hardcore! Please tell me that is on there?! It was the funniest thing I’ve even seen on The Office.
[from tanster: yes, that is on the blooper reel! very funny. :) ]
364 | Lila Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 8:50amI wanted to Pre-Order the deluxe edition from Target online but they didn’t have it. Has anyone else tried to pre-order it from Target’s website? Thanks.
363 | Andi Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 7:33amoh man, that first screenshot menu is great!
362 | the money beet Tue. Aug. 26, 2008 at 1:04amone of my favorite cold opens ever. :)
[from tanster: please proofread and re-post. thanks!]
361 | Maxed Mon. Aug. 25, 2008 at 10:45pmyeaa, the deleted scene isn’t incredibly funny. but i got a little chuckle out of it. Its always nice to have a little something of michael on your phone. haha
360 | Sol Mon. Aug. 25, 2008 at 9:41pmFor those who couldn’t get the deleted scene it is a (very short) Michael talking head. Here is what he says:
“You know, I don’t ask very much of my employees. I let them goof off. I let them come in late. I never put my foot down. I let them walk all over me. And what do I ask in return? Nothing, but their respect.”
359 | Jess Mon. Aug. 25, 2008 at 8:15pmIf only they had a package with the t-shirt AND bonus footage.
Win-win.
358 | BDiddy Mon. Aug. 25, 2008 at 8:02pmDoes Circuit City have a special package?
357 | Diapers Schrute Mon. Aug. 25, 2008 at 5:57pmLooks like I’m getting the Target version! Very nice bonus, but sheesh, that’s a bit unfair since our Canadian friends don’t have Target stores! :(
356 | NeoGutsman Mon. Aug. 25, 2008 at 3:42pmThe S4 DVD website has deleted scenes on it… all of which we have already seen. :)
