brilliant episode :up:
|
Man, this was like watching Curb your Enthusiasm. Just cringing when you know what Micheal is about to say. Great Ep!

Anyone else think that Karen didn't just give Jim a ride home?

I can definitely see next week opening with Jim waking up in bed with Karen and he checks his phone and sees his text message from Pam.
|
You could tell Mindy Kaling wrote this episode. She pretty much nailed every misconception Americans have about Hinduism. The result was ~ 22 minutes of pure hilarity. Aside from that, a lot of progress with the characters was made in this episode, especially with Jim's people.

they both deliver. BJ did the boys and girls ep. which had the Pam scene where she cried. that moment (care of the acting) was perfect. Looking at both writer's credits on imdb, it's hard to big one over the other.

The episode was okay. There were certain inside cultural jokes Mindy nailed pretty well:
It's clear the writers are biding their time until the branches merge but there were some high points:
I thought the episode was somewhat uneven. There were two major weak points: 1) Mindy seemed less humane to some of the characters. Michael trying to kiss Pam when he's so into Carol was over-the-line and Angela was so uptight and abrupt to the point where I actually wanted to smack her. It just pushed the two of them into caricature territory. 2) She could have used the text messages to further push the Jim/Pam/Karen awkwardness further. P.S. When Pam was driving Michael home, the captions were Air Supply's All Out of Love. It would have been interesting to see how the dynamics of that scene would have played with that song. |

There are so many little funny things on this show. I loved how Pam brushed off Dwight with a quick "maybe" after he suggested that she may have mono.
|
I loved Michael sneaking the photo of him kissing Carol into the slideshow and also the blurring of the tits on the pictures on the wall.
|
I thought the Michael/Pam moment was great, because it's such a Michael thing to do. Especially with all of the stuff Jim has said to him about Pam.
I have to say, I often feel bad for Michael, more so than most dramatic television characters... and then he always does something like that. |
wow, tonights episode was fantastic, Up there with the best of season 2. I laughed so many times, SO many great lines and moments. Loved all the Pam stuff. I liked the Zach Braff bit too from Garden State.
Fantastic episode! |
how about how Michael was able to easily fix his costume to a normal suit and Carol was stuck with the cheerleader uniform. He is so wonderfully thoughtless.
|
"Do you have anything vegetarian?"
"It's all vegetarian." "I'll just have the bread." rotfl I'm a vegetarian and this reminded me of a girl I once worked with who would say she was a vegetarian except she didn't seem to eat any vegetables. |
Oh man, so many uncomfortable, but funny bits in this episode.
Michael really went out on the limb, not once, but twice. Can't believe Michael had the office look at kama sutra illustrated materials. Drunk riding is funny. Who really brings an inflatable mattress to work? The tribute to Adam Sandler was great. |
I liked how the slide show started with the nobel prize winner and then right to Apu:lol:
Creed knowing the name of the position was great and Michael going in for the kiss was awesome. Jim and Andy singing a Indigo Girls song was hilarious |
Michael is so pathetic, it's almost hard to watch. He's so desperate and lonely that he's almost resorting to kissing any girl that's near.:lol:
|
"This is the best meeting we've ever had." :lol:
Another strong episode. Hopefully Jim WON'T wake up in Karen's bed tomorrow and read the message. That's a little too cliche for my tastes (plus it would have to be a talking-head segment anyway, as I doubt the cameras would be there in the bedroom.) Great stuff with the festival. Even though it was an awkward night, it was interesting to see something like that on a network TV show. I can't think of a lot of Indian-themed episodes (I guess there was that Seinfeld wedding one, but that's the only thing that comes to mind.) Anyway, good stuff. And I love that they brought back Andy's a cappella "talents." Oh, and I almost forgot my favorite line: "These...are not my shoes." rotfl |
