The Office: "Local Ad" (open spoilers)

Again I ask: Didn’t Michael say he wanted Stanley to potray a convict earlier in the show?

I didn’t catch that line. I did see Michael suggest to the ad men that Stanley is DM’s “urban” character.

Hey, if you’re so intent on making this point, rewatch the episode on NBC.com and report back.

Yes, ma’am.

with all the shenanigans, I really have to start wondering, how much gettin’ it on is actually happening with co-workers? I mean I get that its a tv show and there is only a small pool of characters to get romantic interests from but I’d be curious to know how much this is actually going on.

That’s the one part of the show that I don’t think they’re exaggerating much. People working together screw a lot. From what I’ve seen in offices, it’s not just the pretty people, either. Just basically assume that all the boys and all the girls either want to, are doing, or have done each other, and you’re not going to be too far from the truth. In my opinion, of course. Off the top of my head, I could name you three of my jobs where cheating with co-workers wrecked marriages/changed company Christmas party policy/made everyone else uncomfortable, however.

Did anyone else think he had a little bit of a sarcastic/mocking tone when he was telling the camera how Pam had stayed late to “pursue her dreams” or whatever? My girlfriend and I are at odds on this… I think he was a little resentful, and she thinks he worded it that way because he’s actually proud. I do think he’s proud of her, but I think he’s also a little conflicted about it.

Ohhhh yeah, Jim was being a total dick. Not only is he belittling her wanting to do the animation, he’s getting jealous of her spending time on things other than him.

His smarminess toward Dwight’s Second Life thing was also the first real crack we’ve ever seen (IIRC) in the ‘Jim is the coolest guy in the world’ facade.

He’s already taking her for granted, and I predict within the next couple episodes he’ll start giving her attitude about her class and how it’s cutting into their time together.

Jim has seemed like a bit of an asshole to me from day one.

Jim and Pam are both kind of assholes. They’re both good people, too. In other words, they’re a lot like most of us.
