Fashion show, fashion show, fashion show at lunch!
Am I the only one creeped out by stamford’s team play deal? And stamford chick likeing Jim?
No way. Stamford chick = hot hot hot.
“Hug it out, bitch.”
What a great episode!
As soon as Michael started playing along with Dwight’s plan, I couldn’t stop guessing about how he would eventually end up humiliating Dwight. Dwight’s immediate transformation from power-mad office leader to snivelling “Assistant to the Regional Manager” upon confrontation was awesome!
And one of my all time favorite lines from the office:
“Dwight is the monkey that stabs the tiger in the back with a stick!”
Also, Ryan’s expression after Michael’s impromptu exam of Dwight’s new “dental work” was great!
What a great episode!
dang it…missed being the first Office thread by three minutes.
dang it…
Entouraaaaaaaaage!
“Dwight is the monkey that stabs the tiger in the back with a stick”
I just wanted an Office thread. If some kind mod wants to merge our threads that would be cool with me!
Moderator’s note: I’m merging two threads on the same topic. (That produces a little hiccough with a post saying “Please merge these threads” which no longer makes sense, but there we are.)
I thought it was one of the weaker episodes. There were some funny lines- like Angela’s “sometimes you just need to grow a pair”, but it almost seemed like the Bizarro World Office; I just kept thinking that these characters’ actions seemed somewhat out of character.
And the entire Stamford office periodically shutting down to play a video game? That was almost cartoonish.
Loved it but I don’t think they did a very good job of the transition when Michael told Dwight he knew what was really happenning. Dwight dissed his car and Michael just blurted it out right? Seems like it could have been much more “dramatic”.
Creed, as usual, adds just the right amount of perv to the show: “Just looking.” Ya gotta love it.
No, it creeped me out too. My reaction if you asked me to stop work and play some stupid video game for half an hour would have been, “You want to kiss my what?” The part with Jim and the other guy being called into the manager’s office to talk strategy cracked me up though. The whole game thing was a nice parallel to Michael’s “Movie Monday.”
I liked Pam’s new clothes. “It will be nice to have something to wear after work besides pajamas.”
Dr. Crentist?
When Dwight was cowering before Michael, there was a very brief shot with Dwight’s head on the floor buried under his hands, his butt up in the air and he was, like, pushing with his feet, to get lower I guess. It was very quick and very funny.
Dwight is so weird. And the perky chick who helped Pam with the clothes… what sorority do you think she was in at college?
Hey, there’s a lotta things Michael can let slide, but you don’t diss the Sebring convertible!
In addition to what has already been mentioned, I got a kick out of Jan’s weakness for shopping! And my son, the vid-game pro, got a kick out of many aspects of the play - “A SNIPER RIFLE?!”
Which is why Pam dresses the way she does at work. 
I wasn’t crazy about the Jim/Stamford bits either. I did like that Jim just utterly refused to learn to play. His story about his game with Pam giving Dwight fake hearing problems painted an entertaining picture though.
“So maybe the tiger transfers the monkey to a different branch. No pun intended.”
I didn’t get the impression that he refused to learn how to play; it was more that he was just really, really bad at it. It was definitely strange that they shut down to play the game though. Seemed like a forced ad placement for Call of Duty - although I have to admit, it does look pretty fun.
I thought it was funny that Jan was pissed that Michael shuts down the office for thirty minutes a week for a “movie time”, while the Stamford office shuts down thirty minutes every day for a fragfest.
Obviously, Jan just needs to get laid. 
Hope everyone stayed to the very end – Dwight standing on a desk with a “Liar” sign around his neck, and Michael’s comment that Dwight would be doing his laundry for a year.
Dwight won’t be getting any loving tonight!
