agree with grumpy

simply cannot show a "normal" episode with that audience

2/3/2009 12:24:33 PM

Evidently after watching this episode twice, I still missed a pregnant Karen--where did this happen?

2/3/2009 1:16:36 PM

^it was in a promo. you can find it on youtube.

2/3/2009 1:19:37 PM

^^ yeah it was the teaser after the credits

most people got frustrated with the episode and turned it off immediately, I almost did, but glanced back over and saw it

2/3/2009 1:43:26 PM

YES YES MOST PEOPLE TURNED IT OFF RIGHT AWAY

i took a poll!

2/3/2009 6:10:20 PM

My guess on Karen being pregnant as everybody is jumping to the conclusion that its Jim's but watch it be Ryan's.

2/3/2009 7:33:46 PM

I'm going to go with it being Andy's.

2/3/2009 7:50:04 PM

Or throw it for a huge curve and have it be Toby

2/3/2009 10:34:07 PM

andy wouldnt be a huge curve??

2/3/2009 11:07:33 PM

BJ Novak will be doing stand up at Duke on February 28th. Check tickets.duke.edu soon, it's not posted yet.

Ah ha, I found it.

No way it's Jim's.

2/4/2009 11:07:20 AM

bump. good episode so far

2/5/2009 9:09:48 PM

You better watch your mouth- there's haters afoot

2/5/2009 9:13:03 PM

this is a good one

multiple literal lol moments

2/5/2009 9:29:28 PM

I can't believe Jim went to UNC this is terrible

2/5/2009 9:30:48 PM

haha i thought that too

like really, even michael scott is a walmarter???

good episode. big step up from the rest of the season.
I usually don't like "road trip" episodes where one of the plots is completely out of the office, but this one worked pretty well.

the Dwight and Jim scenes were great, and it almost felt like Dwight was back to his S1 self.

2/5/2009 10:09:20 PM

That's first time I can remember Creed having an actual conversation with a coworker.

2/5/2009 10:11:00 PM

great episode

the conversation between stanley and andy was great

that and

IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.

can't wait to print one of those banners out

2/5/2009 10:22:44 PM

fucking UNC. (he's just a paper salesman.)

but anyway, good episode i thought.

IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.

2/5/2009 11:10:38 PM

It was a play on Micheal Jordan's entrance with the Bulls. Jim clearly was born and raised in Pennsylvania. Also, he's sensible. Sensible people don't go to Carolina.

2/5/2009 11:30:38 PM

^exactly. I seriously doubt jim is 6'6 either

2/5/2009 11:31:48 PM

^I almost said that, but I'm a terrible judge of height and distance.

I'd like to contribute.

<hands over $3 bill>

That was outstanding.

2/6/2009 7:55:08 AM

That was a good episode! I love that Jim and Dwight are the party planning committee

Those balloons - oh god, they were horrible! "they match the carpet"
The Andy and Stanley part was good too.

And Michael's "lecture" at Karen's place made me the kind of uncomfortable that I've come to know and love about this show.

And I love Karen's hair

The interactions between Dwight and Tim was awesome. I have been missing that.

Being the head of the party planning committee is too much power for one person to have. Hah.

I'm curious where they are going with this Michael being used as an example for the branches thing. This is what, the third episode where they have spent a lot of time on that.

2/6/2009 8:55:56 AM

Tim

2/6/2009 9:00:33 AM

hahah

2/6/2009 9:18:42 AM

i think all that was a set up for him going to find holly. i would think his reunion with holly would by season finale material but its wayyyy too early in the season for that, so i'm thinking nothing will come of it.

2/6/2009 9:21:42 AM

Nard Dog

2/6/2009 9:39:51 AM

i LOVED the interaction b/w dwight and jim. i hope they do more of it. i could do with a little less andy though.

2/6/2009 9:41:53 AM

Great episode, typical office

2/6/2009 9:42:03 AM

RAWR RAWR RAWR

KING DOUCHEBAG HERE SUBBIN FOR SIMONN

THIS IS THE 30TH STRAIGHT EPISODE THAT I'VE WATCHED THAT I HATED

IF YOU NEED US, ME AND SIMONN WILL BE AT THE KITCHEN TABLE SHOVELING SHIT INTO OUR MOUTHS CAUSE IT'S BETTER THAN THIS CRAP

(OH AND I'M SURE 30 ROCK BLEW DONKEY NADS TOO, BUT I STOPPED WATCHING THAT GARBAGE AFTER SEASON 2)

2/6/2009 9:46:39 AM

kay

2/6/2009 10:03:44 AM

but did they bring... MINI MOUNDS BARS!!

2/6/2009 11:15:37 AM

"So... should we send the paperwork to your address, or to your boyfriend's address...?"

lol

2/6/2009 11:31:23 AM

LOL

i came in here to post that i'm watching it on hulu and should've turned this shit off after he mentioned unc, but that post ^^^^ made my day.

2/6/2009 1:52:10 PM

he was giving michael jordan's bulls introduction

2/6/2009 1:58:09 PM

you say that like it makes it okay. it does not, i hate michael jordan.

2/6/2009 1:59:08 PM

jumping butterballs

just turn the show off and never turn it on again

it causes you too much pain

2/6/2009 2:04:03 PM

truth be told, i just finished this episode and did not hate it.

2/6/2009 2:05:55 PM

I just hope that the new recurring plot device isn't suddenly discovering that a former female character is pregnant.

2/6/2009 2:43:50 PM

^ haha that's the same thing my girlfriend said

maybe Meredith is next

2/6/2009 3:01:57 PM

Haha. Or Holly.

Or the girl selling purses years ago.

2/6/2009 3:04:56 PM

they can do whatever they want if it brings amy adams back to the show.

2/6/2009 3:07:51 PM

i lost it when they showed dwight walking out of the conference room and he had scotch taped the 1/4 blown up balloons to the television.

hahaha, good episode
