One of weaker recent episodes, but still funny. Dwight's ignorance was classic. And Pam did look hot with her hair down like that.

Mordred 01-20-06 07:54 AM

Good but not great episode.

Does anyone know why they could use the Hooter's name, but in Hooter's they didn't use the logo and none of the women had the Hooter's logo (or even colors!) on their shirts. Then When Jim comes back he holds up a genuine Hooter's logo shirt.

Gil Jawetz 01-20-06 07:56 AM

Please don't use Michael's lines at Hooters! :fart:

The beauty of the show at its heart is the dynamic between Jim and Pam. The last few WACKY episodes were icing, but this one was really important to the overall show.

Wrong episode there, slick. ;)

So Oscar!!! Holy shite, Oscar wasn't really sick!!! Didn't see that coming.

Micheal trying to get his hair like Jim's is as funny as it is disturbing.

And finally something has started to chip away at the engagement wall between Jim and Pam. I like the look she gave him in the elevator at the end.

D'oh. I watched both last week's and last night's ep back-to-back and I guess I was disoriented by the comedy Damn :mad2:

Oh, well, let's see: yes, Pam was h-o-t with her hair down :hump:
But then she's hot all the time.

updog!

I was laughing way to hard at Michael screwing up the "updog" joke.
And I was shaking my head along with Jim while Michael was ordering at Hooters.
Funny episode. Not as funny as the past few weeks, but still good stuff.

And no way Pam didn't know that Jim liked her.
I thought on the booze cruise, she was trying to get Jim to say something rmake a move, and she would of been his.

An excelent 'character' moment is when Dwights secret girl (what the hells her name) says she would choose Roy over Jim. And when she and Dwight shared a 'moment' after they agreed that taking off on a Friday was wrong.

Her name is Angela.

The one from India is Kelly.

Phyllis is the same age as Michael.

... and Meridith is the drunk.

Took me awhile, but I am starting to remember their names.


"He has a crush on a girl that he works with who is engaged." :lol:

Toby is definitely an over-looked character IMO. His delivery is just amazing. "Michael, do I have to take away your corporate card after you just got it back?" :lol:

She knows for sure now, and she's doing cartwheels on the inside. Telling Michael was probably the best thing Jim could have done.

Michael messing up the "updog" joke reminded me of when Steve Carell (as Brick) messed up the "party in my pants" line in Anchorman: "would you like to come to the pants party?"

dcswirl 01-20-06 02:09 PM

Can't wait til Michael finds out about Oscar. That ep will be gold guaranteed!

Yeah. I liked the way they subtlely implied that they may or may not have made-out in the elevator.

He's been my favorite character the last few weeks.

mdc3000 01-20-06 02:40 PM

I love Toby...hilarious, and I absolutely love Creed. He's such a frigin' prick and I've worked with people just like him... His stuff tonight was good...and of course the christmas episode...

I thought the funniest thing about that was Michael saying it was the Bangles but it is a Go-Go's song. Most people do get the two confused.

That's how I feel. I love the unspoken moments between them - something you don't see enough in tv writing.

You should rent (or buy) Employee of the Month. She plays a prostitute named "Whisper". She asks Matt Dillon some interesting questions about what he wants, and what he can do. :lol:

I am a fan of this as well. The final scene last night was just great. The way Pam looks at Jim as the elevator door closes just speaks so much more than words. I can't recall the last time I viewed such a great comedy that incorporated an intriguing love angle.

This show is damn good on so many levels.

NORML54601 01-20-06 10:25 PM

The whole Hooters scene was awesome. I love how Jim just ended up getting a ham & cheese, just like he brough from home.

dhmac 01-20-06 11:13 PM

Ryan had some good moments in this episode.

Like when Dwigt gives him the job of heading up the January Spring Cleaning:

Dwigt: "Do you think you can handle it?"
Ryan: "I think so."
Dwigt: "Do you think... or do you know?"
Ryan: "I think!"

And in his one-on-one time with the cameras:

Ryan: "I could clean out my desk in 5 seconds, and no one would know I worked here. And I would forget too."

:lol:

(BTW, is Michael's man-crush on Ryan possibly going to change into one on Jim instead?)
