The Office "Boys and Girls" 02-02-06



Spoiler:
When Jan (Melora Hardin) visits the office to conduct a "women in the workplace" seminar with the female Dunder Mifflin employees, Michael (Golden Globe nominee Steve Carell) takes the guys down to the warehouse for some "male bonding."

From Dwight's blog:

What are men?

Why are men, men? Why are men from
mars? What makes us tick? What makes men so
masculine? Why are we all so rough and rugged and
irresistable to women?

There are so many questions about men in the preceding
paragraph.

And here at Schrute-Space, I aim to answer them.

First of all, men have XY hormones. I don't know what
that means, but it's important in the field of
science.

Men have male genitalia which crop up when we're
little foetus's. Then, they bloom into what we have
now in adulthood.

But all this is beside the fact that men are men are
men.

We like meat. We like beer and wine and trucks. Us
men like fights (not me, however. Karate teaches me
to seek peace through force and to yield like the
willow tree but with deep roots that cannot be
severed). WE like paintball and laser tag and
Creedence and Medieval reinactments and German
Culture.

But most importantly, men like women.

We certainly like their bodies and their outfits, but
we also like their soft lips and skin and taste in
furniture.

Women make us who we are, not only with their wombs,
but with their femininity.

Take pornography. The women are usually at a really
nice condo or swimming pool. They're just hanging out
but then they start getting it on with themselves.
(women can do that without fear of reprisal. Men
can't. Another difference. Only cowboys can get it
on and get acclaim and accolades for it.)

THEN a man comes over. Usually a neighbor, delivery
boy or pool service technician. Then, the magic
happens. It's on. Sometimes a triad. Sometimes a
shower or bath with bubbles.

Fact: Men are better at taking charge in the bedroom.

Fact: Men are better at maps and directions and
driving.

Fact: Men are better at jousting and dueling.

Fact: Men are better at facts.

Question: What are women better at?

(Note: Please don't be offended, feminists. I respect
you AND am attracted to you.)

I can't quit you.

Dwight Schrute. Man.

The pornography paragraph is too much.

That cast picture looks like something they would use for Law & Order.

This is far and away the funniest season of any show I've ever seen.

This show had to take time to grow on me, but now I really like it.

On an unrelated note, I saw a preview for the movie "Slither" and thought I saw a glimpse of Jenna Fischer (Pam) in it. I checked IMDB and sure enough, it's her. The one disturbing element I noticed about her character is that
Spoiler:
it seems she gets turned into some sort of giant blob creature judging from the clip.
Not a very nice thing to do to such a beautiful young woman, but I guess she took the role before landing The Office.

I'm not sure why you seem to think it's beneath her to act in that sort of movie, but her husband, James Gunn, directed it.

I've mentioned this before, but she was in Employee of the Month with Matt Dillon. She's a prostitute, and she mentions quite a few things Matt can do to her.

This has definitely joined The Amazing Race, 24, and Lost as shows I really look forward to. Sounds like another good one tonight.

Anybody watch the fan questions that they answered? "Will Jim and Pam ever end up together?" "How much like Dwigt are you?" So lame. I asked, after stating my love for the show, if they would ever have one of the British cast members come in for a cameo or small role.

Excellent episode. The Temp (B.J. Novak) wrote this one.

The reaction by Pam when Jan was trying to shut down Michael was great. Kelly's wink to the camera after the 2nd base allusion to Jan and Michael's hook-up was also good.

Michael crashing the forklift into everything was hilarious.

Meredith almost admitting that she was an alcoholic (and wanting to be 4.5 years sober in 5 years was hysterical).

Very light on the laughs yet again, but as usual, a good episode. Kelly's wink was probably the biggest LOL moment for me in the entire program.

I also found the look Michael gave the black guy eating pizza to be very funny. I liked how they cut immediately to that scene after Michael asked whether or not black people like pizza...

Great episode. I lost it(no pun intended) when Dwight made the "Others" remark. Lots of laughs and a fair amount of drama too, even if the drawing subplot was borrowed from the British version.

Good episode and they continue to move the Pam and Jim storyline forward. Meredith got in an AA reference and the question about second base was pretty funny. Good stuff as usual.
