I cracked up last week at the beginning when Jim spent a few weeks conditioning Dwight to crave an altoid every time he hears the sound of Windows rebooting. I almost wish I still shared an office with someone just so I could do that.[/quote]
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, and when he kept putting nickels in his telephone so it gradually got heavier, then took them all out and dwight nails himself in the head.
I think, by far the funniest episode is ‘the injury.’ Where michael steps on the George Foreman and Dwight gets the concussion.
Last nights episode was great. The ending was suprising with Roy freaking out when Pam told him she kissed Jim. I love how his brother comes over in the background and starts trashing the place. Kind of suprising they didn’t have Pam and Roy last longer. I figured they string that out until the last episode.
Looking forward to the Roy/Jim confrontation.
Oh regarding Pam’s cuteness. The actress that plays her, Jenna Ficher, is very hot in real life they really dress her down for the show. I saw her in an interview it looked like a different person althought the Pam character is cute in her own way.
last nights episode…great, i love seeing Roy lose his fricken mind like that.
And the final line of the night. “Im going to kill Jim Halpert” by Roy, i loved that, you just know that next week is gonna be great, i cant wait to see Jim’s reaction when he finds out Roy wants to kick his ass, esp. since he was so timid around Roy in the 1st and 2nd season whenever Roy would walk in when he and Pam were flirtng.
I thought last nights episode was terrible, just too over the top. Yeah, dwight is weird, but where did this “house-inspector” thing come from. And Roy overreacting … ok, weird, but it advances the story line, so whatever. But then his brother coming out of nowhere to smash a chair? I felt like I was watching WWF (i refuse to call it wwe): no logic necessary. Eh, whatever, just my opinion, and I guess I’m in the minority.
I think that’s a pretty good insight on Dwight – but I think it’s an ancillary point to the episode, which was all about Michael acting exactly like an overly clingy girl in his relationship with Jan. BTW, best thing was when they were having that conversation in the car ride on the way home, and then Dwight popped up in the back seat.
Lost point: The potato salad. I thought there was going to be some mass food poisoning, but it was just kind of mentioned and dropped…

I think the potato salad punchline was when he brought it to a catered party.
The funniest part to me was when Karen was telling Jim that she had dated just about everyone at he party just to mess with his mind.
I wish they would bring back the “cell phone in the ceiling” guy.

yup, do you guys get Ali G in the States? It’s Sacha Baron Cohen, the guy who created and was Borat. When Da Ali G Show was big it was a big har-de-har thing to dress up as him - the Office was one show that managed to pull it off!! So nah, not racist… fun-nee.
(If that was meant as subtle humour though… I didn’t get it)

hijack
We had Ali G for two seasons on HBO over here (I now have them both on DVD; love it). I was pretty pissed when it was discontinued.
I don’t think it was canceled, though. Seems to me like it was more Cohen’s own doing. I think he was ready to be done with TV and just concentrate on movies. Word is a Bruno movie is being shopped around right now.
For the record, I thought and still think the show is ten times better than the Borat movie. Don’t get me wrong, I laughed my ass off at the movie. But the show just had a lot more creative genius, IMO.
I think the most underrated character on the show is Stanley, by far. That guy’s facial expressions alone tear me up.
“I wake up every morning in a bed that’s too small, drive my daughter to a school that’s too expensive and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little. But on Pretzel Day? Well, I like Pretzel Day…”
"“you da man creed!” “thanks for the hook up creed!” -a bunch of high schoolers thanking him for making them fake ids
dwight-do you have anything…
creed-mhm
dwight-that could make a broom handle…
creed-yea
dwight-into like…a wooden stake?
creed (pulls his drawer out) what size?
and the whole thing with roy’s brother joinging in on the mayhem at the bar was because i think the show always has to have humor in it, even the serious situations which makes the show click. so to just leave the scene with roy pissed wouldn’t be like the show so they decided to have his brother join in for no reason at all and start breaking bar stools. just my opinion.

Maybe you where having an off night, because that episode wasn’t out of character in any way.
Dwight. Nothing is out of character for that guy. He’s thinks he is a ninja that is being recruited by the FBI or CIA and his future self warns him through faxes not to drink the coffee.
Roy overreacting? Sure he was an ass and one of the shows antagonists, but he wouldn’t know that. Look at it from his point of view. He was with her for 9 years. Engaged for 3 years and then she calls off the wedding. He has no idea why. He does his best to get her back. Then find out it’s because the little geek that was always around her when his back was turned told her he loved her and they kissed. He didn’t really start smashing the place until she then left and told him it was over.
Then his brother smashing stuff just because he sees his brother smashing stuff. Have you ever been around drunk people? I once had to talk a guy out of trashing his own house once.
Give this episode a watch again, and keep it in context with the rest of the series. I’m sure you’ll dig it.
