Toby isn’t creepy, I think he’s just lacks confidence sometimes. I think Jan’s description of this scene was spot on. Have you ever been in a polite “how’s the weather” conversation with someone you have nothing in common with but are forced to be social with (at work or a party, for example) and you run out of things to say? That awkward moment that follows is what we saw in this scene.
I agree that the deleted scene was appropriately left out of the episode. Rather than creepy, I thought Oscar and Toby’s conversation was meant to portray the empty gestures co-workers make, feigning polite interest in each other’s personal lives. It just didn’t come off right.
I thought I would mention that there are TWO promos, one aired at the 8:50 mark of the Coup and the other aired in the first commercial break of Scrubs. West Coasters be ready!
Sorry, tanster… :-)
And yes, I agree with pretty much everyone else, that was a pretty awkward scene. Especially since Toby probably wouldn’t want to see pictures of Oscar and Gil and Oscar probably wouldn’t want to see Sasha’s birthday party. Heh…
Matt and Big Tuna -
Totally agreed about the commercials. I’m in advertising, so I fully understand why they have to be there, but still…
They made me hate Sierra Mist for quite a while too.
I like Toby. He’s one of my favorite parts of the show.
He just makes you feel sorry for him.
I agree with fleece it out and Jan.

I love every bit of the Office I can get!
so.. how ’bout that deleted scene, eh?
hah
Ok so I’m in Phx and just saw both promos and they came on at 7:50pm and 8:06pm…The Office comes on an hour earlier here (7:30pm)
Y’all have to get those promos up on the site. I missed the second one!
Cool, thanks! :)
tanster, the second promo was around 9:06/9:07. Not sure, I didn’t see them myself, but I’ve been hanging out in the spoiler thread at TWOP.
you guys are way off on toby being creepy…i think his character is more honest than people tend to like which makes him awkward. that is funny.
What is this promo and how can I see it!?
I thought the scene was pretty great.
in all of toby’s deleted scenes he is beyond creepy (think pam with the latte)…glad they left them on the cutting room floor so to speak
Thank you Kari! Around what time was the second one?

Hmmmmm…. I’m glad they left that scene out.
