289 | sorano916 Sun. Apr. 27, 2008 at 6:27pmHahaha, when they are showing the sequence of surprise birthdays, you can tell that Phyllis was actually cracking up. I’m glad they kept it, though. It made me laugh so hard.
288 | teampammy Thu. Apr. 3, 2008 at 7:14pmYES I PEED MYSELF TOO, haha. It was a very funny ep.
287 | Rachel Lower Wed. Dec. 26, 2007 at 8:30pmA little daunting with Jim’s facial expression when everyone accidently called him Michael, I really hope this doesn’t mean Jim quits or leaves or anything tragic like that…oh no..
286 | Gottalovedwight Wed. Dec. 26, 2007 at 6:33pmThe only thing that bothered me about this episode was the obvious crane shot going into the first commercial break. How would the documentary crew achieve that shot? It took away from the perceived reality/rules of the show.
285 | kim s Thu. Nov. 15, 2007 at 8:59pmI thought the episode was great as usual!!
Pam making fun of “Boss Jim” was hilarious. Like when she said, “Conference room?” and gave that little smirk.
I LOVED the end scene with Jim and Michael talking about how to be the boss. It reminded me of the scene at the end of Benihana Christmas where it really seemed like it was John and Steve talking to each other.
Awesomeness.
284 | Mabby Thu. Nov. 15, 2007 at 3:15pmAWESOME episode! hilarious! one of the best of the season!! :D
283 | becky Wed. Nov. 14, 2007 at 7:14pmwhy did this episode get such low ratings? I thought steve carell’s writing was GENIUS, and it reminded me of the injury in the way that MY PANTS WERE FILLED WITH PEE because I was laughing so hard. he got all the little moments right, like andy sliding his chair to talk to Jim, angela’s line about “party planning elves”, and creed’s aside to Jim about the cobbler. and him eating the cobbler alone. in a corner. Creed!! I also loved Michael in the wilderness “I have a wood desk…”
282 | elena Wed. Nov. 14, 2007 at 4:33pmNext 2 deleted scenes are up!! Hilarious.
281 | officeisms1978 Wed. Nov. 14, 2007 at 10:33amDid anyone else notice how Dwight places the dart shooter on his lips AFTER he takes it out of the toilet!!! The funniest thing is, when he’s taking it out, he’s careful not to use his entire hand.
280 | ShruteBeets Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 6:35pmBrilliant!
#286 I agree with your comments. What a great show!! When Dwight was looking at Michael with the scope and didn’t have the safety on was pure Dwight. I really got a laugh out of Jim having a hard time with the “birthday crew”, and loved the way Jim and Michael bonded at the end. Jim was so very, very glad Michael was back. And when Phyllis called Jim “Michael” and Jim saying that he will always remember that was really cute!!
279 | Helen Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 3:39pm“Well if you take a look at this, I tented my pants..”
Best line of the episode. Good for Steve for taking a stand with his fellow writers and respecting the picket line. As Neil Young once sung “I’m proud to be a union man, I make those meetings when I can.. I pay my dues ahead of time, when the benefits come I’m last in line!”
278 | Andy Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 3:36pmIt’s taken me this long to watch the episode, and man was i missing out!!!
277 | ShruteBeets Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 5:44amThis could very well be my absolute favourite episode ever! Pure genius.
I have always said and will continue to say that Rainn Wilson is the best thing about that show.
Mouthing: “Come on. Come. Stay Back. But come.”
Michael broke my heart singing to Creed.
It was just perfection.
Great Ep. #283 & 284 - I noticed the same thing. It’s really cool, I bet the continuity guys didn’t give it a second though…it really speaks to the quality of the fan base that so many of us picked up on that so quick. Sometimes it’s as if we know that show better than they do :-)
276 | Look Alive Halpert Sun. Nov. 11, 2007 at 4:36pmAm I the only one who noticed that the sex doll had a sign that said “Stacy” on her during Kevin’s bday party flashback? I just noticed this, and it added a whole new dimension of comedy to the scene.
275 | CH Sun. Nov. 11, 2007 at 2:50pmWith the birthday deal. A lot of the people that work in the office could have easily just not told anyone their birthday dates…until later on.
274 | james Sun. Nov. 11, 2007 at 8:35amGreat episode. Really well written. But yeah, I couldn’t help but notice the birthday boner. That’s what she said!
273 | Awesome Blossom Sun. Nov. 11, 2007 at 7:20am92 - I know this is late but after a rewatch I did notice that the camera was most likely on top of a steep hill looking down on Michael in a valley.
272 | websokind Sat. Nov. 10, 2007 at 11:12pmDid anyone else feel the intense mood shift when Michael entered the conference room while they were singing happy birthday to Creed? It was as if the entire room went from somber black and white to ebullient techni-color. Michael’s gift to the people who work in the Office is exactly that: he can lift their spirits in a nano-second with his ridiculous singing and commands for skipping. That’s what Jim needs to learn how to do in order to be a successful RM.
271 | Pucci Sat. Nov. 10, 2007 at 3:59pmi thought this was THE best episode of the entire season. i laughed at plenty of the scenes, and my heart melted at the end. the jim/michael interaction was great. the office is the best show on television, and i’m kind of depressed that next week is going to be the only new episode for a long time. however, i fully support the writers. without them, the office wouldn’t exist!
