I loved the ep, but I didn’t understand the Pam-Jim prank on Andy. Why did Jim need Pam to pull it off? Couldn’t he have just stole the phone and chucked it up in the ceiling tiles?
I know it was likely just a writer’s ploy to show how well Pam and Jim interact, but they could have done something that required team work.
The looks on Jim’s and Pam’s face when they were on the phone and trying to ignore the “Rockin’ Robin” coming from the ceiling was great.
When he took the phone to Pam, Jim asked if there were any messages. I guess he wanted to make sure he didn’t screw up something consequential. I’m reckoning she checked it for messages, and handed it back off to him.
Pam was working as a lookout when Jim was in the breakroom lifting up the ceiling tiles.
Also, I think he just wanted someone to share it with from the get-go. It wouldn’t have been as fun for him if he did it on his own and then told people about it later.
No, no, no. The request for messages was the fake reason for talking to Pam as he passed along the phone. (He was pretending to ask Pam if there were any messages for himself.)
He needed Pam to block Andy’s view throught the glass to where Jim was on the chair throwing the phone into the ceiling.
I’m so jealous. If I had prank skills like his, I’d never have to work again. I’d just sell my ideas to the masses.
Then why did he need to pass the phone to her?
Sorry about that. I could’ve sworn I quoted Trion.
So what happened between Angela and Oscar? I missed those episodes.
So she could get the phone number from it…and call it.
What Dio said below.
Okay. I acquiesce to your greater knowledge of these telephonic devices. (Ahoy ahoy!) But… how do you get the number from the phone?
Usually it’s on the contacts list.
Well, shit. One day, I’m going to get me one of those newfangled machines that transmits sheets of text over electrical lines. I hear that some can send more than six pages an hour. Then I’ll be caught up with all you young whippersnappers.
Or you call your own phone with it.
From the Producer’s cut:
“Hey what happened to Dwight?” - Oscar
“You didn’t hear? Decapitated. We had a funeral for a bird.” - Creed.
WoW!!! Was it just me or did the last two episodes feel like a end of season/start of season cliffhanger. IMHO, the writers really schruted it with
In one of Jim’s first episodes in Stamford he played a prank on Andy and Andy totally freaked, threatening to kill whoever pranked him. Andy’s been a dick (hey, Andy Dick!) all along. A mere device to show us how reasonable and likeable Dwight really is.
Andy is to Dwight as:
[ul]
[li]George W. is to Reagan;[/li][li]Reagan was to Nixon;[/li][li]Nixon was to Johnson;[/li][li]Marlo is to Avon (Wire fans only);[/li][li]‘According to Jim’ is to ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’;[/li][li]‘Saw’ is to ‘Halloween’;[/li][li]etc…[/li][/ul]
Interesting then, that he was teamed up with Stanley last week. How much longer before all Ryan has to look forward to in his life is Free Pretzel Day?
After Kelly pops out her third or fourth kid and he realizes that he is trapped with a capital “pped”.
-Joe, only trapped by 1 (So far)
