DrVenkman PhD Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I laughed quite loudly at Kelly's dentist check-up card.
Mystery Eskimo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Dwight's suggestion of using a net to round up local people got a chuckle from me.
Youth N Asia Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 My only good laugh was the visual of Creed leaving the blood truck with what appeared to be a pint of blood in his coat pocket
Mecha Mummy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 I liked the opening well enough, especially Jenna Fischer's delivery on "But I'd like to see them make a machine that puts out candy for everyone! ... vending machine." But mostly I was just sort of distracted and not all that into the episode aside from brief moments that amused me.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Wouldn't Michael get fired for trying to force Dwight to take the blame for his mistake and get fired?
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Lots of wrestling sized loop holes in that storyline
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Because the Scranton branch is the company's best performing branch, and it ultimately made the company a lot of money. Wallace is willing to put up w/ Michael as long as his branch is a big money maker.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 That could only go so far, though. He made a huge mistake, lied to Wallace and tried to talk Dwight into taking the blame and to get fired. AND THEN he threw a big tantrum when it turned out to be a success and he didn't get credit.
Lord of The Curry Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Andy having tears in his eyes watching Kevin ask the woman out and then trying to play it off was great. I enjoyed Jim not holding back on Michael this episode too. Hilarious cold opening.
bob_barron Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 That could only go so far, though. He made a huge mistake, lied to Wallace and tried to talk Dwight into taking the blame and to get fired. AND THEN he threw a big tantrum when it turned out to be a success and he didn't get credit. Who knows what will happen next week? As Spiff said, the Scranton branch does so well that I'm sure they get some leeway
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Not sure if this needs to be spoilered (I don't think it does, but whatever): that's why D-M is hiring someone to be Michael's direct supervisor.
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I think it's already been mentioned earlier in this thread. Due from The Wire. Curry got all bonered up.
Lord of The Curry Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I figured that'd be the incident that brings Idris Elba onto the show.
WCS Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Wouldn't Michael get fired for trying to force Dwight to take the blame for his mistake and get fired? I think the 'wouldn't Michael get fired if" ship sailed sometime in Season 2. I'm thinking if Michael ever does get fired, it'll be in the series finale...and he'll just get hired back by the end anyway. As for tonight, really good episode. I liked how everyone ganged up on Michael after he tried to sell out Dwight, especially Creed's interjection ("Nice going, kid."). Also, both the cold open and the tag were VINTAGE~ Jim, and the Kevin story was awesome as well. They're not ignoring the fallout of the Andy/Angela breakup (Andy's continual pessimistic advice to Kevin). Good stuff. Also: "Hey! Hey! Hey! You idiot!" "Start over." "Sirrrrr."
treble Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 "I keep secrets from my computer." "I'm going to ask you something, and I want you to be completely honest with me: What is a pallet?" "It's not my fault you bought a house to impress Pam. That's what Carnations are for" "Apology rejected!" "There's no movie called Willy Wonka, it's Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" "It's actually based on a book called Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" "I can't vouch for that" So yeah, I thought this was a pretty good episode.
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I got a kick out of Dwight busting out "that's what she said" to David Wallace, and getting a big laugh from him. Michael's favorite line, and the 1 time it gets a big reaction is the 1 time Michael doesn't get to say it.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 "This is huge!" "That's what she said."
Lord of The Curry Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Creed on carnations: "That's not what they're for." Do carnations have any drug-related properties?
KingPK Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 "Good morning, Michael." "Oh no, no, no, no I am not Michael, I am Willy Wonkaaaaaaaaaa!" "Good morning Mr. Wonka. Here are your messages."
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 TBS just aired both parts of "The Job" back-to-back and I have to say, the show has gone down hill since then. These two episodes were amazing.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 The show has gone incredibly downhill since then. After that Jim and Pam were together and the heart of the show was ripped from it. They've never recovered, even if it can still be occasionaly funny (unfortunately not often enough IMO to make up for what's lacking)
Mik Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I'm late on this but this past episode was much like Phyllis' wedding in that I can not laugh at anything Michael is doing because he is such a dick that he is completely unlikeable. I hate when they do that.
C Dubya 04 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Problem for me is that Michael's character is past the point of no return. He's an asshole, plain and simple. I don't know why they decided to do that, but my favorite part of this episode was where everyone was ganging up against him and siding with Dwight. They managed to go away from "Homer Syndrome" with Michael in that he's not getting that much dumber anymore, but now he's just a bad person.
Bigelow34 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I wouldn't say he is bad...just really lonley and insecure and is ignorant to the fallout of his obsession with being loved and accepted.
C Dubya 04 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I don't know, stuff like using Dwight's admiration of him to try and get Dwight to take the blame for a bad idea and trying to get Dwight fired instead of himself to me has left the ignorant territory and moved to being a bad person.
daileyxplanet Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Problem for me is that Michael's character is past the point of no return. He's an asshole, plain and simple.

They managed to go away from "Homer Syndrome" with Michael in that he's not getting that much dumber anymore, but now he's just a bad person. Maybe this is their part to having Michael be like his UK counterpart, eventually counting down the days to his firing. Ending the show.
Gary Floyd Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Holy shit, this is all kinds of awkward.
