So have they ever said anything about Jan sleeping with Hunter or do they just throw clues out there?

4/11/2008 3:35:21 PM

just the clues

[Edited on April 11, 2008 at 3:49 PM. Reason : v well it is clear from the clues....]

4/11/2008 3:40:23 PM

i think its clear. the lyrics are like, you took my hand, made me a man, for that one night.....

and jan gets all lovely dovey... the episode was alright i guess, hope this season is entertaining

I thought last nights 30 Rock was hilarious.

4/11/2008 3:53:50 PM

there have been clues for quite a while that Jan had a thing with Hunter. It was pretty much obvious back a season or two ago when they were at HQs and there was some flirting or strange looks or something (don't remember, exactly) between Jan and Hunter

There were tons of subtle jokes that make that episode really funny.

4/11/2008 6:55:55 PM

i think what we have here is a difference of opinion between the definitions of 'subtle' and 'joke'.

4/11/2008 8:47:36 PM

Lots of whiny vaginas in here. I thought the episode was pretty good.

4/12/2008 8:25:52 AM

Thats because Americans have an obsession with LOVING things and then HATING them as soon as they get big. Its the too cool for school attitude.

That episode was funny. It's not one of their top five episodes by any means but it was good. Everyone can relate to being somewhere with a couple that is making them uncomfortable by fighting.

4/12/2008 6:22:57 PM

no man, it's not that. I, and i'm sure others, are very happy that others are jumping on the Office bandwagon. That will just help ensure the long life of the show.

but for those of us that have been fans for a long time, it's fine to point out major changes or short comings of the current shows. It's clear to any long-time fan that the quality of the current season just isn't up to the earlier standards.

4/12/2008 9:49:29 PM

The last episode was like how 90% of the british one was. The american one has always placed a heavier emphasis on light-hearted humor, and since the fanbase is so huge, it's not surprising to see some bristle at this unexpected type of wit.

not really.

4/12/2008 10:45:22 PM

yeah, not really at all. Season 1 was the most like the British one, especially given that many of the episodes were direct rewrites of the UK Office

4/12/2008 11:34:14 PM

I can see what he means. The UK office is based upon more dry awkward humor than the US office. That last episode made me feel very awkward in regard to Jan and Michael, and reminded me of the UK office. If you rewatch the UK office there's a bunch more long pauses and completely awkward moments, whereas in the US office most of the jokes are resolved or completed right after they were made. The UK office seems to continue the mood of the current joke into the next scene.

4/13/2008 12:09:38 AM

yeah, i think we all know that the UK version really took "awkward pause" to a whole new level, but the Jan and Michael dynamic for the Dinner Party, for the most part, felt forced, i think.

4/13/2008 12:33:00 AM

"stuff that is awkward for the sake of being awkward" is not the same as "dry humor".

this was awkward for the sake of being awkward. there was nothing clever about it.

4/13/2008 12:35:28 AM

it did seem very forced.

4/13/2008 12:47:33 AM

haha not too bad start.

4/17/2008 9:07:07 PM

yeah, definitely more on par.
(hint to writers: it's funnier when you stay in the office and use all the characters)

4/17/2008 9:09:14 PM

our dvr decided to record earl and 30 rock but not the office.

fuck.

4/17/2008 9:11:31 PM

Wendy - a hot an juicy redhead


nice, some classic lines
"I give her a 10 on looks, and a 3 on describing herself"
"Michael - large hot chocolate with caramel and a shot of peppermint"

This week is a billion times better than last. Glad to see Kevin get some camera time.

4/17/2008 9:16:48 PM

^haha yes kevin is great. the 5 families!

4/17/2008 9:17:00 PM

hmmm..... looks like they're trying to really ramp up jim and pam....

oh shit, he got a ring. nothing good can come from this.....

4/17/2008 9:25:06 PM

ha, the grave scene was great. Some good Dwight lines.

btw, i've been complaining about this since S1, but really - it's time to take Ryan out of the credits as a main character. What was the last episode he was in, much less a significant part of?

4/17/2008 9:28:37 PM

When you write the episodes, you get to leave your character in the intro.

But who gives a shit either way?

4/17/2008 9:29:41 PM

i know he's a writer, but so are Toby and Kelly.
my theory is that he was supposed to be a major character at the beginning, but Michael, Dwight, Jim and Pam were enough as primary characters and they didn't really need another big character like Ryan. I imagine the pay scale between title characters and secondary characters is pretty significant though, so i guess i would put up a hell of a fight too to stay as a title character.

4/17/2008 9:35:26 PM

MUCH better than last weeks abomination.

4/17/2008 9:38:03 PM

creed had the best moment, as he usually does.

two down, one to go

4/17/2008 10:18:22 PM

So I'm guessing Michael is staying at Dwight's and Jan is still in his condo.

"Will you wait while I tie my shoelace?"

priceless

4/17/2008 11:12:07 PM

this was a great ep

"you don't deserve her"



"i wont let you down"
"you cant because i dont care"

and the "only 1 to go" was excellent

4/17/2008 11:58:56 PM

THATS the office that i've come to know and love

i literally cringed when jim went down on one knee

4/18/2008 2:23:59 AM

^ That is probably one of my favorite Office moments.

4/18/2008 4:53:19 AM

yea they totally owned just about everyone on that

4/18/2008 7:07:46 AM

kind of an oaky afterbirth

4/18/2008 7:16:30 AM

just watched Andy's little thing at the end. so much packed into those few lines

"I did this, for the little guy. For Joe Six Pack. The guy who wakes up every morning in his $400 a month apartment, and wonders how he is going to pay his mortgage this month. Wonders how he is going to fill his car up with oil. Wonders, 'how am I going to pay my kid's orphanage bills?' That guy.... shouldn't have to wonder where he's going to park"

btw, whole thing is on hulu already http://www.hulu.com/watch/17483/the-office-the-chairmodel

4/18/2008 8:13:51 AM

Last week's episode was just ok, this week's episode was hilarious. Hopefully more of this caliber on the way.

Andy's speech at the end and his dance as the truck was pulling out was maybe the funniest thing ever.

fucking great episode

the whole obsession with the innocent chair model that died in car crash intoxicated

Next week's episode is titled "Did I stutter?"

I'm guessing Jim proposes and Pam says no, or at least not yet.

I agree that they're going to drag out the happy ending, but that doesn't mean they won't throw a curve first.

Did anyone else notice that the chair model was Melora Hardin (Jan) in a wig? I guess that's why Michael was attracted to her.

4/18/2008 1:30:27 PM

thats what i thought immediately when i saw her smile...but i didnt want to post it on here in case i was delusional

4/18/2008 1:40:46 PM

Did they mention the break up last week or is it just supposed to be assumed after the fight at the dinner party?

4/18/2008 3:34:23 PM

^they didn't mention it last episode. I guess just assumed. Although i have no idea where Jan is staying. Maybe with hunter? lol.

yeah i didn't really like those as much as the current ones...even though i watched the british version first and loved it. it like it was too forced or something, like they were just copying it straight up. or maybe i was just used to the british people doing playing the roles. i dunno

and yeah, last night was a friggin great episode. i actually rewound and watched a few parts over again cause they were that funny. oh and the gf laughed a few times too, which usually never happens during the office

4/18/2008 4:21:11 PM

This is my pledge to you. I will find her, and I will bring her to you. And as God as my witness, she shall bear your fruit.

4/18/2008 4:51:19 PM

I'm not a fan of the Jim/Pam storyline.. they were both funnier apart then together, and although I would hope for them to have gotten together eventually it seems to early in the show for it to have happened.

Maybe just me on that, I would have liked to have seen this season drag them out apart a bit longer and then have more of a dramatic instance bring them together.
