The Office - Season 4

[Oldcity]

It was horribly awkward, but obviously that was supposed to be the intention. I think my favorite line was Dwight: It's purely carnal.

[mothershipconnection]

Michael's $200 Plasma, homemade table, and story about running through the glass door to get to the ice cream man were all legendary. Great episode.

[Glennron]

I honestly didn't think it was that funny. There were a couple good moments, and I realize a large intent of the show is to have awkward moments, but after like the 8th awkard moment with Jan and Michael fighting it got kind of old. I personally think Jan was funnier before she was completely psycho, so I guess I kind of hope she's not a central character that much anymore.

[rluzinski]

I loved it. $200 plasma tv!!! Wow. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

It was nice to have the shows back but I'm with ya Glennron. Jan and Michael fighting and being really awkward is only funny for so long. Jan was such an awesome character Seasons 2 and 3. Now I cannot even stand when she appears on screen. I thought Andy and Angela, and also Dwight were the bright spots in the episode. Andy's hilarous. He steals every scene he's in imo.

Babe.

[Menotti80]

higlights for me:

 

Andy giving angela the flower

Andy licking angela's cone and her smashing it on his car

"it's purely carnal"

Jim guessing Tom Cruise during the Arnold Schwartenegger answer to frustrate michael

[Fatter than Joey]

"it's purely carnal"

 

That's you need to know.

[Chkyhks2and0]

Jan "It'll just be 3 hours"

Pam "That's 3 hours from like 4 o'clock, right?"

 

I was rolling when they were taking the tour, and went into the bedroom with the video camera on the tri-pod.

 

It was great just to have a new episode.

[razzzorsharp]

Oaky Afterbirth?

[BrewCrewForever]

You have a office and a workspace?

 

Snip, reverse, snip reverse.

[homer]

That is definitely an episode you need to watch a few times to catch all the one liners. Hilarious.

 

 

"An oaken after birth"

[pitchleague]

"3 hours?!?!" was my favorite line, followed closely behind by all the looks into the camera by Jim and Pam throughout the episode.

 

Believe it or not, I've been to a dinner party that was very much like that, full of awkwardness. It wasn't fun.

[homer]

I just thought of another one.

 

When they were touring the bedroom and Michael had that camera pointing at the bed. Classic.

[NeedMoreFans]

I also enjoyed the painting of Jan's face above the staircase.

 

This episode was much better the second time I watched it. I missed a lot of stuff the first time. I was disappointed, however that this was the first episode since November, and it was out of the office. I wanted to see more Stanley, Creed, and everyone else.

[And That]

The guy who directed it, Paul Feig, is kind of a Judd Apatow minion. He's directed some of my favorite Arrested Development, Weeds and The Office episodes. One of the funnier episodes of the series.

[Crazyk1294]

Did anyone else catch the lyrics to Hunter's song?

 

"You took me by the hand. Made me into a man."

 

Who took him by the hand?

[mothershipconnection]

Yeah, I pretty much assumed that song was written about Jan and that's why she loved it so much and had to show it off.

Not exactly.

[And That]

The guy who directed it, Paul Feig, is kind of a Judd Apatow minion.

Not exactly.

But kind of.

[Glennron]

I wanted to see more Stanley, Creed, and everyone else.

I agree. It wasn't a bad episode but Stanley and Creed are much funnier/more interesting than Jan. I don't want them to become main characters, because they (mostly Creed) are best in small doses. Plus there was no Kevin/Phyllis/Toby/Oscar etc.

[don1481]

Did anyone else catch the lyrics to Hunter's song?

I caught those too. I was like "what the...?" I'm very certain that it was in reference to our friend Jan. I wonder if Michael will figure this out. Or if Jim and Pam have figured it out.

 

[Katuluu]

I thought it was rather evident that everyone knew that the song was about Jan.

[nullbyte]

"I have never, ever dated, or wanted to do anything resembling dating Michael. Ever. Not ever, not now, now then, not now, not ever. Ever."

[Gobias Industries]

I thought it was rather evident that everyone knew that the song was about Jan.

Yeah didn't he compare him to James Vander Beek in season 3. Which is laugh out loud funny.

 

Watched the episode again. Better than the first time but still not feeling it. Jan's character used to play off Michael's so much better when she was in Corporate. Now every scene with her is cringe worthy in a bad way, and really ruins my enjoyment. I just hate the arc they have been getting at with Jan's jealousy of Pam thinking she likes Michael. I know she's supposed to be crazy, but Jan saw how Michael repulsed her when he's at work during seasons 1 thru 3. Just so over the top.

 

I hope tomorrow is more office themed. Need some Toby. Think he and Andy are the funniest.
