Yes, I'm too lazy to check all of this on imdb right now.

Googling her "Ellie Kemper" shows that she is an active improv comedian. |

Weakest episode of the season, by far. Which is a shame because they were on a real roll. I think it was a pretty weak episode for what has been a good season. It reminded me a lot of Season 4, where there were several episodes filled with similarly contrived quirkiness, and plots that went nowhere. |

Though it may be reading into it too much, it is not that far fetched. |

Yeah, I'm totally agreeing with Draven on this one. The whole episode seemed to really have no point, as if they needed to come up with one more show to fill out the season, and this was the best they could do on short notice. Even the little subplot with Jim and Pam seemed forced and inconsequential.

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
My tastes with regards to The Office are very similar to M.Giant's over at TelevisionWithoutPity and he called it the worst episode ever, so I'm glad I'm not alone too :)

I see she is in a few videos at funnyordie.com.

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
First episode I've ever turned off halfway through. Embarassingly bad.

Yeah, the girl you are thinking about from 30 Rock was a different actress, the girl who played Tammy "Copperhead" Littlenut on Strangers With Candy. |

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
That video is stupid and not funny at all.

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
This episode was not that funny.
A disappointment. |
Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
Chalk me up for "loved it". Loved all the dancing by Michael and the 'Nard-dog. Also thought that Dwight was in rare form telling Bob Vance when asking to "steal" his wife for a dance that he cannot steal what is legally his property.

Why does every episode have to have a point?

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
Eh, I thought it was a nice little break. I also liked the back and forth with Jim and Pam about how to have their wedding.

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
Dwight's prank was also amazingly hilarious, especially his psycho laugh.

Fair enough. There are some episodes that many people find funny that don't work for me. And characters, too. I know a lot of people think Stanley is very funny, but I rarely laugh at his lines. |

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
I loved this episode because I connected with a lot of the jokes. I know dorky middle aged men who would play that crappy "Everybody Dance, Now" song and think it's hip. I know self-important college kids who dance-off at parties, and Kelly and the new receptionist crack me up. Not to mention Michael's botched text to Dwight about Phyllis:
"Michael, who's Phillip?" "Oh my god, Phyllis, did Phillip push you over?!" It was also good finally having an episode not bogged down in narrative exposition. It reminded me of season 2, when there seemed to be less conflict and more fun. The Pam and Jim thing was the only strike out for me. It was completely unnecessary to tease with their marriage. |
Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
I think I might be in the minority but I am getting really tired of Micheal and enjoy the show more when I barely see him at all. Like when he is the catalyst for something and the office handles it. An episode I loved but didn't neccesarily match this was office olympics I could of fast forwarded through the micheal parts and still enjoyed it very much.

Dwight needs to leave pranks to those who can come up with good ideas, and then plan and execute them well. Of course, his ineptness made it a really funny scene.

This episode of The Office was terrible. Absolutely nothing happened. |
Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
I also love how the tub of Utz is still in the Cafe Disco.

Though it may be reading into it too much, it is not that far fetched. I loved the asshole prank Dwight pulled in the beginning, it was just outright hurtfull and not executed well at all. |
Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
I liked how Erin the new receptionist had her birth certificate in her purse for some reason, I also love Creed's line about the disco ball

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
The chick that showed up during the cafe disco that hugged the receptionist....I think it was Elisha Cuthbert.

http://www.bunnydojo.com/MJ/office.jpg Oscar's comment was, "You invited a friend? I've been here eight years and I never..." (delivered in a way that implies either he's never invited a friend or that the thought never entered his mind). I think reading anything into Oscar saying it or the girl grabbing the other girl's hand to bring her into the party is a bit much... that's what a girl would do in the situation, and Oscar is probably the best one to deliver that line (Michael would invite a friend, Jim wouldn't be talking to her, Stanley was asleep, Kevin is Kevin, etc.). After some of the more 'harsh' Elba moments (especially with Jim), it was nice to see them go the fun route, even if it's just filler. And I agree with the poster above who really got a kick out of Angela just walking straight under the limbo stick. :D |
Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
If I was in charge? This place would be like Dave and Busters.

Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
Enjoyed Michael's line:
"I can't MAKE you go down, but I can entice you." Reminded me of "I tented my pants" from the Surviorman episode. |
Re: The Office -- "Cafe Disco" -- 5/7/09
Fun episode...I enjoyed it.
