Thursday, September 25th, 2008
The Office Weight Loss

Written by: Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky.
Directed by: Paul Feig.

Summary (NBC): For the first time, we see what happens over eight weeks of the summer, as a Dunder Mifflin weight loss initiative causes the branch to diet and become obsessed with their weight. Michael pursues a friendship with his new HR rep, Holly. Jim misses Pam who attends art school in New York. Dwight, Andy and Angela attend to unfinished business. One-hour long.

Tidbits (newest stuff first)

Quotes and poll after the jump.

Favorite quotes

Andy: I really want to have washboard abs the first time Angela sees me naked.

Dwight: Wait a minute. One more bite of eclair each. Hold it in your mouth if you can’t swallow.
Jim (to Michael): Really? Nothing?

Kevin: Pam, you weigh 226 pounds?

Jim: Friends don’t talk about other friends’ butts.

Michael: Her butt refuses to quit!

Holly: I’m not a lesbian. I don’t know why I said that. Stupid joke.
Oscar: What’s the joke?

Pam: I will be a little fish in the Big Apple. What up, 2-1-2?

Andy: Ang … ela. Ela, ela, ela, under my Angerella. Ela, ela, ay, ay, ay.

Andy: Every little boy fantasizes about his fairy tale wedding.

Andy: This is where my parents decided not to get divorced.

Angela: I have a fiance I very much like!

Michael: The last word is “seagulls.”

Jim: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Michael is actually killing it with Holly. And I think I know why. It’s because Holly is kind of a major dork.

Jim: I don’t really know Ronnie. But I have a feeling I will get to know her very well over the next few years. And eventually declare my love for her.

Teacher: I accidentally switched my alarm clock’s setting to Zapf Chancery.

Kelly: Gonna look amazing!

Jan: Oh, they found her?

Holly: Who’s that woman in Michael’s office with the feet?

Angela: A G.D. monkey could do it.

Kevin: Wait, back up. Do you think that I’m retarded?

Angela: Dangerous, tacky, sharks, haunted.

Angela: I have a nice comforter and several cozy pillows. I usually read a chapter of a book, and it’s lights out by 8:30. That’s how I sleep at night.

Dwight: Okay, can you turn the girl off, please? I’m trying to get some work done.

Michael: We call her Rice-a-Ronnie.

Pam: The nerve.

Pam: Can you give me back to Jim now, please?

Michael: I once went 28 years without having sex. And then again for seven years.

Dwight: Shotgun weddings.
Jim: That’s not what that is.

Jim: Cryogenics. Beer me five.

Ronnie: Does anyone want to dance?

Kelly: I swallowed a tapeworm last night.

Creed: That wasn’t a tapeworm.

Kevin: Fire-ed Guy.

Jim: You’re talking about your court-ordered community service?

Michael: Ah, the dreadmill.

Pam’s friend: I just didn’t like eating dinner that early.

Phyllis: Phyllis Vance for David Wallace.

Dwight: I say I say I say, I sit on you.

Dwight: Vamping.

Ryan: She’s perfect.

Phyllis: I wonder what people like about me. Probably my jugs.

Kelly: I hate this worm inside of me!

Jim: How’s your summer?

Michael: We are the Goatee-less Brothers.

Dwight: Neither of us will write the other up for not working.

Michael: I always call everybody back right away.

Andy: They’re collectively my best man.

Andy: Boner Champ. That’s me.

Jim: I just … I can’t wait.

Andy: Wet Tuna!

  2. I loved “Weight Loss.” I’m really starting to like Holly, I also wish something would happen with her and Michael, they’re both really childish and it’s PERFECT! I almost like them as much as Jim and Pam, no wait scratch that, I like Jim and Pam WAY better than Holly and Michael. JIM AND PAM ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!! When he proposed to her at the gas station, I was not expecting that at all but I loved it!
    Things that I liked:
    -Jim and Pam getting engaged
    -every scene with Jim and Pam
    -Pam going to the wrong class
    -Creed giving Kelly the tapeworm
    -Kelly passing out
    -Michel in a fat suit and a goatee
    -Michael buying concert tickets from Holly then ripping them up!
    -Holly and Angela arguing about “mentally retarded” Kevin
    -EVERYTHING!

  3. LOVED the episode - for the obvious Pam/Jim stuff, but also for the great storylines for Kelly and Ryan, Dwight and Angela. Although, I did start to feel a little bad for Andy. Angela is COLD. CAn’t wait until next week!!

  4. I loved this episode. I think it was the best of all season 4, actually. I would give it a 9. On my scale, Seasons 2& 3 are “10″s, and season 1 is a “9″, and season 4 is an “8″. So, good start.

  5. Rocket1124…

    Why? Fair question, right?

  6. I love Amy Ryan’s voice..and her laugh. It reminds me of Holly Hunter. Not the same at all, I know…I just think their voices are unique and awesome!

  7. I think it’s strange/inconsistent how Dwight changes season to season. He can be so mean (this episode), but then can almost appear human (season finale, season 3 w/ Pam).

  8. Dwight doesn’t care if Phyllis spills the beans about him and Angela, he is proud! You saw the way he looked at the camera when it spotted them coming out of “they shouldn’t be in there!” room. Plus, he could totally take Andy in a fight. “Kyyyaa!”

  9. Has anyone realized how perfectly the song Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s fits Jim and Pam now? So awesome…

  10. Meredith’s face got a dosage of the Raid that Dwight sprayed on the food.

    Her skin is apparently very sensitive. All that drinking maybe??

  11. What can I say? I loved loved loved this show, but I was a little concerned for Meredith. What was going on? Of course when Jim was on his knee and asking Pam to marry him, I almost could not believe my eyes!! After all the years of waiting for this to happen, I could not believe it! What a wonderful way to end the first show of the season, it was beautiful. I give this show a 10!!

  12. #442 “Can anyone tell me what A.G.D. means or 2-1-2?”

    “A g.d.” to be precise. “G.D.” means “God-damn.” (is that OfficeTally appropriate? At least in this context? I try not to say that too often in real life if that helps make my case.)

    212 is the area code for New York City.

    445 | Alex  Tue. Sep. 30, 2008 at 3:07pm

  13. 442: 2-1-2 is the area code for the New York area.

  14. What was up with Meredith’s face?

    If you watch the episode on hulu, its at exactly 8:11 in to the episode…

    http://www.hulu.com/watch/36733/the-office-weight-loss

    anyone? I’m forever confused.

    443 | Meredith's face?  Tue. Sep. 30, 2008 at 11:57am

  15. Can anyone tell me what A.G.D. means or 2-1-2?

    442 | Probably my jugs  Tue. Sep. 30, 2008 at 10:58am

  16. gosh i hope not! i hope that pam is a graphic artist in philly with jim, who is working as a sportswriter. or something less perfect but more along those lines.

  17. I predict whenever the series ends Pam will be at corporate and Jim will be “Top Dog” at D.M. Scranton. Like Jan and Michael once were….

  18. gooooooooooooo-tee!

  19. great great episode.

    did anyone else notice how pam went from being an insecure, timid woman to ra of an entire college dorm floor? what a transformation!

  20. someone has probably already mentioned this, but what the heck…

    I just re-watched this episode and noticed Creed dividing up rice like it was cocaine. Hilarious.
