The Office, the sitcom

edited December 2007 in Everything Else
Before I began to watch this show, I never really understood the appeal to it. I saw a few episodes every once in a while, and I never really liked it. Even after being shown season 1, I wasn't all that impressed...until I watched season 2. Suddenly, I've come to like this sitcom. A lot.

Who else likes this show?

    Aye.

    But to be clear, are you talking about the BBC version or the NBC version?

    In closing: Bears. Beets.

    Battlestar Galactica.

    NBC, I haven't seen the BBC version.

    And I love you for that quote, Jason. We must wed.

    One of my favorite quotes: "Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family. "

    Oh no, this is devolving into a quote-fest. Damn thy internets!!!

    I kind of liked it in the first season, but I think it really came into its own come season 2. By then you sort of understand the office's dynamic and who each person is (generally.)

    This is made of liquid hot win.

    Ok. Jason.

    Pam + Jim or Jim + Karen.

    I think I know what your opinion would be.

    Karen was much cuter.

    WIP disagrees. We had a lengthy argument about it earlier in the season. Stinking Jam fans.

    I KNEW it! I just KNEW it.

    But come on, Jim and Pam are perfect for each other! Don't you see how happy they are now, in season 4?
  • JasonJason
    I think they're having S-E-X.

    Do you want to form an alliance?
  • VentureJVentureJ
    Absolutely, I do.

    And, favorite episode so far?
  • AndrewAndrew
    This is old but amazing.

    You're just jealous because you are not a member of the "Finer Things Club". Well, gotta go. The office is running Call of Duty 2 practice again.

    I watched a few episodes but I just couldn't get into it. It was one of those shows that I was psyched up for because it was one of those popular show but the episodes I watched weren't as funny as Scrubs. I'm planning on watching at least three more because that's what my DVR is holding for me but until then there's just a lot of things I like more.

    Scrubs isn't funny.

    You have no soul. And no reflection in mirrors.

    Favorite episode: Health Care. Finally, somebody out there is recognizing countchoculitis as a real threat.
  • VentureJVentureJ
    Blasphemer. Scrubs IS funny, though I don't know which one I think is better.

    One of my favorites: Local Ad. I just love how Michael's ad suddenly shifts to a dressed-up Kelly in India.

    Racial exploitation, ftw.

    I really like the show and watched all episodes available last summer. It's a really funny show and a real example of good writes because the whole show is based around an office, not the best place for entertainment.
  • ErwinErwin
    The Office is one of those shows that is worth the space in my DVR :P
  • blaman327blaman327
    I love The Office, and Health Care is my favorite episode also. I love the part about the spontaneous dental-hydroplosion. This show is one that really grows on you. I started watching it as soon as it came on and found myself laughing at it quite a bit, but as the seasons go on I find myself laughing more and more. One problem, however, is that there are quite a few running story lines that make certain jokes funnier if you know what context they are in. I have found myself explaining to a friend why a certain part was funny. I would recommend watching it from the very beginning, or at least the beginning of Season 2.

    Health Care was good, but Dwight REALLY pissed me off in that episode. It was kinda strange.
  • blaman327blaman327
    "There will be no health care FOR ANYONE!!!!"
  • JasonJason

    Was it the kind of rage that makes your teeth melt and trickle down the back of your throat? Or is it the kind that of rage that causes anal fissures?
  • VentureJVentureJ
    ...anal fissures. Is that even a DISEASE?! Who here even HAS it?!
  • KilarneyKilarney
    Pam is more attractive than Karen. Not necessarily hotter - but more attractive as a package.
  • VentureJVentureJ
    Wait, is Karen still there in Season 4? I haven't really noticed her, nor did I notice her leaving.
  • blaman327blaman327
    She and Jim broke up at the end of the 3rd season. There is one episode in Season 4 where Michael, Dwight, and a reluctant Jim go to the branch that she transferred to and attempt to pull a prank. It was pretty funny. (and involved them wearing fake mustaches)
  • VentureJVentureJ
    Which episode is that, blaman?

    Also, is it just me, or am I the only one that likes Toby?
  • JasonJason
    No, I love Toby. He needs to get some lovin' from Pam after she breaks up with Jim. The poor guy was |---| this close to living the surfer life when the Scranton branch was going to close.
  • VentureJVentureJ
    LOL, why would Pam and Jim break up in the first place?
  • AndrewAndrew
    Toby is a chump. Just like Jason.
  • blaman327blaman327
    The episode where Jim and Karen break up is actually the first episode of the 4th season, because of the events of the end of the 3rd season. It is called "Fun Run."
  • JasonJason
    Toby is a chump. Just like Jason.
    I hereby fine you 20 Schrute Bucks.
