The Office "Safety Training" 04/12/07


Spoiler:
Andy returns to the office after several weeks of anger management training, determined to make a fresh start with all the Dunder-Mifflin employees. Meanwhile, it's safety training day in the office, and Michael and Dwight are on a mission to illuminate the true dangers of the workplace.

While we wait, I thought some of you might enjoy this website I stumbled across today. This HR woman takes incidents from The Office and shows how much they would actually cost Dunder-Mifflin in litigation.

Next week's episode sounds funny:

Spoiler:
Dunder-Mifflin is thrown into damage control when paper is released with an obscene watermark. Michael addresses the media while Jim and Andy try to calm a school principal who used the affected paper to send out invitations to the prom.

Safety Training, This should be great. I can't wait for them to spoof "Quality Teams".

This episode was really silly, but silly funny nonetheless. I liked the bets that broke out during Michael's crisis of character. Daryl was stepping up, providing a humorous blue-collar foil to Michael's nerfness.

Was every line funny tonight?

It had me howling. I think I saw Harold Ramis listed as director.

Anytime Michael tries to run anything "HR", hilarity ensues. Case in point: Diversity Day, Performance Review, Conflict Resolution, Grief Counselling, Pay Negotiation.

He's going to kill himself prentending to kill himself.

Great episode.

Lokimok, that was indeed Harold Ramis who directed.

Creed stepping out from behind the bushes zipping his zipper was hilarious.

I thought the scene in the warehouse didn't work very well, but it really picked up after that.

Dwight doing air guitar always works for me. He puts everything into it.

The line of the night was Michael saying "You put your hand on a metal ball and your hair stands up. Then you know science."

I laughed so hard at that line and rewinded it so many times.

I wasn't feeling this episode. A few small chuckles, but nothing compared to last week's episode, which I guess should be expected.

I enjoyed Dwight nodding knowingly and saying "wolves" when Michael was describing what the biggest killer was.

It was a consistent episode with no real high point for me. Hard to beat the previous one.
