Gotta go with the consensus on this one. Great episode!
“Okay. Karen, Ryan, Pam — center stage! Pam, run a comb through your hair.”
And then he puts the tree in front of Phyllis. Classic!
I almost wonder if that last second before they cut was intentional - it looked like they both started cracking up a bit.
I was really weirded out by Andy using the phrase “beer me.” We used to use that phrase in college, a lot, for all kinds of things (including beer) and I went to the same college as Andy.
I’m hoping that this is/was a common phrase for other people. Please tell me it is/was!!!
Oh I have heard it plenty before, along with, “It’s beer o’clock!”
Yes. It was a great episode for all the reasons above-mentionned. Michael’s overly optimistic view of how good a public apology would be for the Dunder-mifflin’s image and how horribly wrong it all goes is fantastic too.
And what better way to solve it than to make a tape that includes threats and a completely gratuitous deadline. Just wow!
I soo hope this show doesn’t get cancelled soon.
And looking up, as if at the clouds, holding out a hand palm up, and saying “I think it’s going to beer.”
Why would it? As far as I know, it’s ratings, while not through the roof, are pretty decent, especially relative to other NBC shows.
Plus the show is a hit with critics. Granted while that didn’t save Arrested Development, Office has considerably better ratings.
(Dwight snaps fingers) “Look sharp!”
In front of Phyllis AND Stanley. 
Litigation value this week: $45,000.
(Last week’s rerun “Back from Vacation”: $150,000.)
When Kelly is teaching the accountants how to answer calls, Kelly puts her hand over her “hand-phone” when she tells them not to use her name.
Imposter Jim: Hey Karen. Do you want to have sexual intercourse tonight because your my girlfriend?
Jim: Do you?
Karen: No…I’m good…thanks…
FALSE!!!
Maybe. I saw it more as Jim didn’t want to be riding in a car driven by the sad, angry Andy.
Best mini-moment within Dwight’s impression of Jim: when Jim deadpans, “You nailed it,” Dwight briefly drops character, basks in Jim’s praise for a second, then goes right back to doing his schtick. Rainn Wilson was just great.
