The Office 4/12/07

Kelly yapping endlessly while the others drop money behind Ryan. That was hilarious. And then Creed with the potato.

HA – “Dwight you ignorant slut!”

Pretty much all of the betting was pretty great.

“If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I’ll be a VERY rich man!”

If anybody ever gives you 10,000 to 1 odds on something… take it!

And Jim: The first show was a little shaky, but I think now they are hitting their stride. I think I may bring my parents to it this weekend… the matinee.

Unshunned.
Shunned again.

I loved the watermelon (“I have a trunkful”) and the safety day explanation (“We have one once a year, or after an accident. . . . . We’ve never gone a full year.”)

Funny stuff.

I particularly liked this episode because I had the same terrible idea that Michael had. We had a trampoline at my parents house and I got it into my head that I should jump from the top of our aerial (40 feet, give or take) and land on it. My fifteen year old logic didn’t take in to account that there is ground below the trampoline. When I landed, it was like the trampoline wasn’t even there. Luckily it was spring and the ground was soaking wet or I really could’ve been hurt.

I was literally yelling at the television.

Overall, very funny episode though.

Loved the little five-second shot after the end credits and some promos and such:

Stanley standing beside his car, wondering why there’s shattered watermelon all over it.

This was a very, very good episode. Glad to see Office back on track after a few rocky episodes mid-season (though the last few have been pretty good as well).

You know what our killer is? [del]Wolves![/del] Depression!

Michael: The tests are going terrible. If we keep doing them, I won’t want to jump. :smack:

Dwight, you ignorant slut!

Creed blows the whole performance by taking a piss in the hedge. Brilliant.

Watching Daryl talk Michael down for real was kind of painful. Not as painful as jumping off the roof would have been, but the whole “you’re so brave because you get out of bed every morning and have to be you” was the most backhanded compliment I’ve ever heard. But it worked.

“Am I a hero? I really can’t say, but yes.”

Kelly must be the fuck of the century, otherwise I don’t know how Ryan goes on with it. Uptown Girls? Love Actually? TWICE?!? Argh.

Dwight knows absolutely nothing about bear attacks.
Awesome episode.

Well, can you imagine the hysterics she would go into if Ryan did try to break it off? And he’d have to see her, all day, every weekday too!

“Well, Jim would know how many jelly beans are in the jar because he’s up here, like a hundred times a day, talking to Pam.”

I liked when the watermelon hit Stanley’s car, and Michael said something to the effect of “call the law firm. See if they handle hate crimes.”

The closing scene of Stanley looking at his car was great but I was really hoping to see Pam and Jim jumping around inside the castle.

Damnit, I missed the last scene with Stanley. :mad:

I loved the “Dwight knows nothing about bear attacks” line. This was by far my favorite episode.

I just like how Michael was supposed to be doing a fake suicide that turned into him having to be talked sdown as if it was a real suicde, because what he was going to do was suicidal.

“Omigod Michael is going to kill himself while pretending to kill himself.”

“ATTENTION BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS!”

Nope. I know people like Ryan. They put on the tough guy image and never say anything nice to anybody because they think it is not “cool” to do so. Thus woo-ing a decent mate without ever complimenting them makes for slim pickings. He got what he deserves.

As for the betting, I didn’t quite catch what the Creed and the apple bet was. Was it that they switched his apple with one Toby found and he didn’t notice? I don’t get the joke, other than Creed had solitaire on his screen - not even pretending to work.

Un-shun.

Hey! I like Love Actually as a guilty pleasure movie. Of course, I don’t watch it over and over…

Back on topic, what I great episode! Are we witnessing the birth of a gambling problem with Kevin?

Dwight being shunned (“It’s like a silent slap.”) from the age of four until his sixth birthday four draining the oil from a can of tuna!

“How’s it hanging Darell?!” :smiley:

Re-shun.

They switched it with a potato.
