Yahoo preview clips of ‘The Merger’

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Yahoo TV has posted seven preview clips of tomorrow’s episode, The Merger.

Click here, and then click ‘The Office’ in the bottom left corner.

SPOILER WARNING! Videos and subsequent comments will contain spoilers.

Thanks to Lisa for the tip!

I’ve transcribed some of every clip at The Merger post.

Update: TV.com now has posted the videos as well — these might be easier to play. Thanks for the tip, Molly!

Note: I had one heck of a time getting these videos to play successfully all the way through. What finally worked for me was 1) playing it in Internet Explorer on a PC (I couldn’t get them to play at all on my Mac), and 2) setting the player to play at a lower bandwidth. If you have any other tips, please post them in a comment!

for those of you who are using a mac and can’t get the videos to play, i would recommend a great program called flip4mac. its a plug-in for safari (and firefox as well i believe) that allows you to play wmv and other video files right through quicktime, right in the browser. all the of the videos posted on officetally have played perfectly fine in safari for me. oh, and it is free btw.

For anyone who still wants to be spoiled, even though it’s 4:53 EST right now :P, and can’t get the clips to work, TV.com now has the clips posted too

Not sure how I’ll handle tonight!

This is The Office we all know and love-Jim’s looks to the camera whenever Michael says something stupid/hialrious/or anything.Missed that!Now it’s back!

Sigh. Okay, i gave in.

My thoughts on chip guy - he’s definitely another Stanley or Kevin… did you see him roll his eyes at the tape?

Man, when Andy was bobbing his head up and down with it, and Jim was just looking at him… i was dying. Great stuff!

I’m sorta glad the clips aren’t working on my pc, because this week i think i want to be surprised instead of almost upset that i chose to watch them. So no clips for me… buuuuut i couldn’t resist reading the comments, haha… so i know too much anyway!
34 | Meredith Thu. Nov. 16, 2006 at 9:56am
There were so many! How does Michael not get beaten up everyday? He flattened their tires, and they just walk away? I thought, for sure, that Stanley would yell at him, at least.

Im going to hold back this week and not watch the clips, although I did see the TV Guide ones.

I guess the big deal about the gum is that the exchange was so casual, like they do it all the time. It showed Pam that they’re more comfortable than just coworkers.

i kinda wish i hadn’t watched the spoilers…the suspense was driving me to watch them too much though…
30 | Lauren Thu. Nov. 16, 2006 at 8:03am
well…there is also a scene in the parking lot that is shown in the clips, that suggests that it was more than just a casual piece of gum
29 | Lauren Thu. Nov. 16, 2006 at 8:01am
Thanks, Lauren! Okay, maybe it’s just because I’m not watching these and I’m only reading about it, but…big deal? She gives him gum? Who cares?

i’m really glad that my boss was out of the office when i was watching these, because it was physically impossible to contain my laughter. dwight+andy=best.comedy.ever

E, in the meeting where Michael shows his Lazy Scranton video, Jim is sitting next to Pam and Karen is right behind him. Pam says something like “this won’t disappoint” and karen taps Jim on the shoulder, he turns around and she gives him a piece of chewing gum
26 | Lauren Thu. Nov. 16, 2006 at 7:48am
Right…can’t see much. What’s with the chewing gum? Someone spill…if I can’t spoil myself, I need other people to do it for me. ;)
25 | E Thu. Nov. 16, 2006 at 7:40am
OMG!! Michael outdid himself with the Lazy Scranton Video. He topped the diversity and valentine ones lol.

SCRANTON! WHAT? THE ELECTRIC CITY!

lmao

well…i guess the parking lot scene where Karen had her arm on Jim’s back must be what GMMR was talking about in her blog…AYG…that made me a little sick to my stomach when that happened, also the chewing gum thing. Damn. The lazy scranton video was pretty much amazing!
23 | Lauren Thu. Nov. 16, 2006 at 7:28am
okay, okay…don’t you think that that’s a little TOO spoilerish, even for me?
come on, SEVEN?!

im just going to wait until tonight.

Well amazingly enough it worked for me better this time than it ever has. I wonder if they updated their player or something, because it came up differently when I clicked on it. Mhmm … strange.

So now I understand the spoilers about the chewing gum and the parking lot. Pam must be feeling really, really jealous. Heck, I’m feeling jealous for her.

Anyways, it looks like this will be a fantasic episode … can’t wait!!!! Just 11 more hours!!!

so excited about Jim and Pam from the one clip when they first see each other again, totally unsure how i feel after i saw Karen’s arm on Jim’s back, ugh.

only 11 hours to go til the super episode!

I love everyone’s ties in this episode! they look really good. (was that random? oh well…) Maybe Jim will get all cocky with double the attention?
