Would you think my life was really sad and pitiful if I told you that I’ve been looking forward to tonight’s episodes of “The Office” and “30 Rock” all day long?
Yes?
Well. Then welcome to my sad, pitiful life. Where I not only watch TV – I blog about it!
All righty – here we go with the dueling paper companies on “The Office.”
1. “…now we are going bargain hunting in the haunted graveyard of their love.”
2. “Michael, you know I can’t take this.”
“Yes, I do.”
3. “U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi…gooooooo Michael Scott Paper Company!”
4. “You’re so – focused.”
“Like a wolf. Thank you.”
5. “Let me be your traveling pants.”
6. “I. understand. nothing.”
7. “It’s like a girl says she’ll make out with you, but then her boyfriend is waiting around the corner with a pee-filled balloon.”
8. “I am going to steal all your clients, and then I am going to kill them in front of you.”
9. “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out. – Bill Cosby”
10. “You sound worried.”
“And you have bad skin. Look, everyone, we’re all making observations!”
11. “I spent a month putting that Rolodex on his Blackberry. Which he now uses as a nightlight.”
12. “Master and Apprentice. Pitted against one another for the fate of the Greater Scranton Area paper market.”
13. OH MY WORD – Dwight’s green underwear.
14. “Dwight hit a bear. But he’ll be here in a second.”
15. “You have no idea what kind of an enemy you’ve created. You’ve unleashed a wolf.”
16. “Aaaaaand I’m closing the door.”
17. “ARE YOU SAYING YOU INVENTED PAPER?”
18. “SPIN MOVE!”
19. “I color code all my info…green means ‘go.’ So I know to go ahead and shut up about it. Orange means ‘orange you glad you didn’t bring it up.'”
Oh, I did enjoy the Insider-esque sheananigans. This was Dwight’s best episode in a sweet forever, and pitting Michael and Dwight against each other as corporate rivals is brilliant. It was a great episode that was chock-full-o-one liners – and I will treasure Dwight’s quick costume change into his mustard shirt for the rest of my earthly days. It was like watching Superman run into a burning building. If, you know, Superman were a paper salesman.
By the way, if you’d like to hear Andy’s a cappella version of “You Can Call Me Al,” it’s right here. HILARIOUS.
What did y’all think?
I know I’m sad, but I have looked forward to tonight, too! It’s been a hard day.
We are about to watch, but since I am in mountain time, I always read your post first. This frustrates the living daylights out of my Chris. I guess he thinks it’s like reading the end of the book first. Which…um… I sometimes do!
#11 made me laugh out loud so hard.
I missed the full effect of #19 during the show and now I’m laughing at my computer screen so hard I’m crying. Oh my word, I love this show. Best episodes in a while.
Love, love, LOVE IT! You highlighted almost all of my favorite lines! I also enjoyed
Michael: You respect dibs don’t you?
Dwight: Psh. I’m not a barbarian.
And the Jim/Andy thing? Good seeing Jim back in prank-mode!
Jim: When I look in the mirror I don’t like the face that looks back.
Andy: Well, so what? Your body’s a 10.
Oh my goodness my husband and I crack up at the Office! Well..ok we love Thursday night TV and yes I looked forward to it all day! Its like a little piece of heaven as Liz would say “I want to go their!” Ha ha #7 A pee filled balloon that hits your face!! Loved the show Dwight and his green undies, cheese puff pass, and so glad that Jim is back to his normal self!
I haven’t watched it yet. I almost like reading this first. Then I appreciate the one liners even more!
oh i’m right there with you…michael scott makes my day. i know you’re so busy, but would LOVE to hear you blog 30 rock one time.
I thought it was the best ep of the season, hands down. LOVED IT! So many laugh-out-loud moments. Also, thanks for the link to the Judging ToC Users post over at Things Christians Like. I laughed at that, too!
I had peeked at your “tall. beets.” title, so when that came up on the show, I just hooted. Oh, Michael.
And then hubs nearly spewed food out his mouth while Kenneth was throwing his tantrum about the extra mustard packet.
We LOVE the Office, and I totally enjoyed your run down!!!
Oh dear goodness…these past two weeks have really been bringing funny back. I loved tonight’s episode of The Office and 30 Rock. And I so want to color code something green so I can go ahead and shut up about it :)
Spin Move!
If you played basketball in the 1980’s you are still laughing about that one.
I think this was the best episode in a good, long while. And #19…classic Michael Scott, all the way.
Loved it!
I so wish that we could watch the show together. My hubs does not really love the show like I do. He often does the unthinkable, he flips during commercial and then I miss a little tidbit here and there. If I had patience I would wait for the DVR, but I AM NOT PATIENT.
I gotta say, I just want the family back together in one office. I know that is so needy, but I like it that way.
I loved it when Andy figured out Jim was “just messing with” him.
Andy, could his teeth be any whiter? Man, they glow!
Enjoyed your re-cap!
I am off to see how many cheese balls I can stuff in my mouth and still answer the phone…
I breathed a great sigh of relief that this episode brought back the funny! Hilarious.
I would also like to have a moment of sweet for Jim telling Andy his life would be ok. Thank you.
“You can call us Al-Cappella!” LOL.
Your reviews of “The Office” are the best Highlights. Hope the viewing included something with melted cheese.
YAY!!! It was a total hoot! And Dwight’s arm gesturing was the BEST when he shouted #10! It’s also cool to see the employees of the Michael Scott Paper Co. bonding (be it thru cheese balls). Although I can’t get past Ryan’s blonde hair.
I love it when you blog the best lines!!! Makes me howl! Best episode in a long time! Really enjoyed it!
Love your blog!! You make me giggle!!
Boo Mama, if you lived anywhere near Seattle, I sure hope we’d be friends! I was even thinking of you last night while we watched the office. Thank you for keeping track of the great one liners. It makes for such a delightful Friday morning.
#14 was great. I also loved the sign, “Dwight did it.”
I loved it – I felt sort of happy to see Michael actually doing something right for once :-) haha although i loved how Pam and Ryan had to keep telling him what Dwight was talking about . . . cracked me up
just watched 30 Rock – I thought “How did Big Mama score a spot on 30 Rock!” one of those leisure women looked just like her
More importantly, I need to know if you are watching Parks and Recreation with Amy Poehler? Comes on right before The Office and is so funny.
I have to admit, I have not been entirely happy with this season, but the writers are making somewhat of a comeback.
Michael is in great form; reminding us of what a great salesman he really is.
It was a good one all right! Just had to say that my high light from last week was Ryan climbing into what I assume is his Mom’s station wagon like the 5 year old he really is.
LOVED it. Each of your quotes were just what I loved as well. Green undies? I liked the long sleeve issues and the fish in the vent. Good stuff!
I will be honest. I had a hard time concentrating after the cheese ball scene, because all I could think about was, how long did they have to practice for that? And how much fun must have been? And yummy?
This was a hilarious episode – but I wonder how much longer we can have the dueling paper companies. I agree with Megan – the cheese ball bit was too funny!
One of the funniest shows this season. Loved it all.
Hilarious!
I saved this episode! I was literally cackling at Dwight’s spin move and had to rewind it several times.
