I wonder how hard it was (that’s what she said NO TIME, but that is what she said, NO, NO TIME!) for Rainn Wilson to do such a bad Jim impression. He is freaking brilliant.
Some nice self references - Threat Level Midnight, clarification on why Creed patronizes a soup kitchen and has never owned a refrigerator, and I think a little nod to Dr. Crentist the dentist.
Angela on the phones was a riot - I loved how she conveyed exactly the content Kelly was feeding her, with exactly the opposite meaning.
But by far, the greatest moment was this: “Two chickens doing a goat, with a couple of pigs watching . . .” :eek:
The Jim impersonation of Dwight was brilliant – even the little touches like Pam seemed a little confused at first, with Jim coming in and not saying hi to her.
Even before he started talking, I was thinking, “He’s got his hair looking like Dwight’s!”
Loved the first scene in the high school hallway. Andy: “Hey, what’s my girlfriend doing here?”
Oh god… Kelly doing Bridget Jones. Leading into Kevin attempting an Australian accent. Ouch! That was painful. “Hello, mate! Alligators! Dingo babies!”
Great Creed line:
“Every week I’m supposed to take 4 hours and do a quality spot check at the paper mill. And of course the 1 year I blow that off… this happens.”
Angela taking asprin, after hearing she’ll be trained on C.S. by Kelly:
“I don’t have a headache. I’m just preparing.”
Oscar: “I wonder how many phone calls you’re missing while you’re teaching us to answer calls.”
Kelly: “I know, right? Probably a lot!”
So Andy seemed a little less like “kinder gentler Drew” from last week. A lot of his mannerisms started looking like old Andy. Including his wanting to take out a two word full page ad in the yearbook. I guess Anger Management Training wears off after a few days?
Michael: “They’re trying to make me an escape goat.”
Oh, the apology tape (which he always gets Pam to tape - how many of these things has he done?) - complete with ultimatum, threat, and deadline. Perfect.
“bears do no… what is going on??? what are you doing!!!”
hahahaha! i nearly pissed myself.
and then it just kept getting better.
“the ‘f’ word. you have one day.”
“one day for what?”
some of the best 22 minutes evar.
I thought that, too. He is so uncomfortable seeing anyone sad—I think of the conference when no one came to Michael’s party and Jim ended up telling him that he was “a great boss” and that he had transferred offices because of Pam.
He can stand seeing people mad (Dwight all the time, Andy with the phone in the ceiling), but sad is out for him.
Dwight hamming to the camera as “Jim” was the piece de resistance of this (already excellent) episode. I love how self-referential and internally consistent it is.
