The Office "Michael's Birthday" 03-30-06



Spoiler:
In celebration of his birthday, Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) takes the Dunder Mifflin gang ice skating, while Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) nervously waits for some medical test results.

Michael's interaction with Toby in the breakroom was awesome.

These Office "More You Know" commercials are a hoot.

Those The More You Know with Dwight, Kelly, and Ryan are great.

Dwight putting "From Dwight" on the back of the jersey was also great!

Looks like Michael will have another love interest now.

Him ripping off the live strong band after Kevin said it was negative was pretty amusing.

Too bad there are so few episodes left that they are apparently insisting to stretch to May. Bastards. I want them now.

I thought the build-up could have been funnier, but the last 5 minutes were pretty good. Nice of Steve Carell to get his own wife in on the fun at the end (the blonde lady who sold Michael his condo).

"The more you know" ads were pretty good.

Absolutely loved Ryan's look of horror after figuring out that Dwight and Angela are together. Brilliant.

Oscar doing a little ice dance.

Also nice to see Michael doing so well with kids again.

Once again, I laughed out loud at least a half dozen times. The loudest was at the look on Ryan's face after hearing Dwight and Angela discussing their "meeting".

The More You Know ads were pretty funny too, although they'll never top the ones from Conan.

This show is starting to approach an Arrested Development level of subtle in-jokes you'd only get if you've seen every episode

Note the 2second shot of Oscar showing of his perfect figure skating skills

Ryan's look after the whole Dwight/Angela exchange was . These little moments are awesome!

Ryan's stupefied look of horror was golden, but I'm going to have to side with Achtung and give the medal to Kelly's speech about death.

The "strippergram" was pretty funny, too.

Universal needs to make sure and include those and the upcoming mini-episodes on the Season 2 DVD set.

Dammint, I must have missed Dwight's. I did see one from Ryan in the rerun of "My Name is Earl" earlier in the night. Too funny.

Lots of gret little moments in this, as Michael struggles between his excitement for his birthday and his genuine concern for Kevin.

Ryan's look of horror and Kelly's confessional were the highlights, but I also liked seeing Jim and Pam off by themselves, having a good time. No awkward moments or anything, just the (further) beginnings of a great relationship.

That's kinda dangerous for Dwangela? to talk like that in front of Fireguy. All he has to do is tell Kelly and it's all over. He should probably save that juicy piece of gossip for the next time she starts talking about marriage or babies.

So I come back, fulling admitting my wrong. I was one of the losers who didn't like the show up front because of loving the BBC version so much, so I jumped off after episode two.

I caught up with the show over the last week at the advice of a friend, and as weird as it sounds, I may like this show better than the BBC version. So damn funny.

So if you all wish to beat with with hard rubber bats as payment for my miff up, go right ahead.

Now to go buy the season one dvd.
