The Office Season 4

[BigM]

not a good one...

[Rip Van Rocket]

Wellllll.

That was kind of not funny at all.

I laughed hard.

[moestavern19]

I laughed hard.

I was an obvious setup episode.

I still enjoyed it, but it didn't have near the laugh out loud moments.

Hopefully the 1 hour finale will not disappoint.

[FlyerFanatic]

yea, not that good..

best parts imo:

kevin talking about how hes going to turn oscars petty cash into next months rent

creeds line when hes on the phone with angela talking about how they're going to split.

[Anticope]

Yeah, pretty weak episode, but Andy had me rolling as usual hitting 1200 golf balls the night before and then trying to drink his beer hahaha! I also thought it was hilarious when he drove the golf cart in the sandtrap.

Also, it seems like every episode now has an incredibly awkward Michael moment that makes me cringe so badly I would almost rather not watch it.

[moestavern19]

They really are making Michael almost too nonsensical. Its gotten to the point you assume that he's completely out of touch with reality and will do the most socially/professionally unacceptable thing every time.

[dumbartonbass]

Very true, however, I think what they showed us last week makes it seem like Michael is putting it on for us. When he thought no cameras were around while confronting Stanley, he actually seemed quite normal. Well, at least in that Stanley had to respect him because he was his boss. And although it was as awkward, it seems as normal as Michael can be.

I agree with the sentiments above - this was not a good episode. It had its moments with Andy and Creed, who always make me laugh, but the finale is all set up now. Great tension between Dwight and Angela.

I agree 100%. Michael is putting on an act for the cameras. When he doesn't know they're there you see pieces of the real Michael. You see a bit of it in the "I'd never say this to her face" line about Pam.

[Faos]

Very lame episode. I thought the group was going to come back to the office and find Dwight doing Angela, or at least making out with her.

The two best lines were Kelly saying Daryl is her "Obama" and Michael telling the intern candidate that Pam would "do" him. She's already been with two other guys in the office.

A set up episode is not an excuse for lameness. The writers should be ashamed.

[rrj_gamz]

I think we all agree that episode sucked azz last night...I liked Kevin's lines when playing golf, but that's about it...

Hell, next week is the season finale and I must say, thank god...

[KingCheetah]

I can't believe I am so in the minority on this one, but I really enjoyed last nights episode -- lots of dry humor.

Michael's kissing comment at the end was gold.

[The_Yoyo]

it was an ok episode for me the highlight was Kevin and his obsession with gambling. I was rolling as soon as he started naming off all the games that they were going to play.

I have seen episodes i have liked less it had it moments Andy with his blisters and pumping in the aloe into his gloves was awesome

i mean it wasnt that great..but holy cow.

I liked it, too. There were a lot of great lines. I think some people aren't satisfied unless they're on the ground laughing all episode.

Great lines:

- Michael: Today I am headed over to the job fair at Valleyview high school to find some new interns. Get some fresh blood. Um, euthanize this place.
- Creed: Hiya Pumpkin, it's Creed. So we're gonna ditch this bitch. You in?
- Darryl: What college did you goto Mike?
- Kevin: What are we talking? Skins? Acee Deucee? Bingo Bango Bongo? Sandies? Barkies? Wolf? What?
- Michael: You can do whatever you wanna do. You can be a classy janitor or a cashier with dignity. Or a... migraine worker.
- Michael (in response to Pam's "Are you serious?"): Yes. And don't call me Shirley.

[Rocket River]

Michael's kissing comment at the end was gold.


Yea that had me laughing

Rocket River
Kiss her GOOD!

[Nice Rollin]

oh my gosh. when andy crashed the golf cart...i was rollin

[Faos]

you dont have to watch....

i mean it wasnt that great..but holy cow.

I'm probably the biggest The Office supporter on this site. I've bought all the dvds. I have a right to say this episode sucked and I will continue to watch.

[Royals Ego]

Planning on watching it after work today. Now, not as excited :(

[Miguel]

oh my gosh. when andy crashed the golf cart...i was rollin
That was pretty much the only "HA!" the show got out of me. But yeah, total setup ep...but that definitely had me rolling.

[coldsweat]

i loved this episode. the dwight and angela scenes were suspenseful. i kept on waiting for them to give in to their desires but they just kept on wearing their masks of cold politeness. the copier scene was especially great. pam was especially in this episode also.

[GRENDEL]

Wasn't the best but hardly horrible either. The golf cart thing nearly had me spit up my drink. Pam was awesome in this episode, esp. when she gets the single sheet of paper from the copier and shows it to the camera, just something about it cracked me up.

[Oski2005]

So, I guess next season Pam will be out of the office living in Philly more likely NYC working god knows where while taking her adult education classes and Jim will be against it and stays behind but eventually starts working towards taking Ryan's job so that he can move to NYC and reunite with her.

Just started watching the deleted scenes:

http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/

EDIT: Looks like only one deleted scene, nothing special, then it kicked into last weeks.

[dandorotik]

I'm probably the biggest The Office supporter on this site. I've bought all the dvds. I have a right to say this episode sucked and I will continue to watch.

Got all the DVDs, watched every deleted scene from all seasons, and saw every episode this season so far. Yes, sucked and "the writers should be ashamed" is definitely extreme. It's like saying "Rafer Alston sucks"- sure, it's one's opinion, but it's a little over-the-top, don't you think?

Without reading the rest of this thread, I think all of the new episodes are wayy too awkward. It gets to the point where I can't even look at my tv anymore. They used to be funny awkward, now it's just sad awkward.

you should write the show...i'm sure you'd do better... :rolleyes:

[moestavern19]

Wow, you guys are the ones overreacting.

Faos is correct, it was a weak episode, but Its still a great show and I'll continue to eagerly anticipate every episode.

[Boomhauer]

While "Job Fair" wasn't as good as "Did I Stutter" it still made me laugh.


Youthinize! :D

[JunkyardDwg]

You know, even a weak episode of The Office is still better than a lot of the best episodes of many other shows.

It doesn't have to be hysterically funny every week, as long as the characters are compelling I'll continue to watch.

[Apollo Creed]

I enjoyed the ep, but I'm getting a little tired of Andy being made the office whipping boy...some of it seems more slapsticky than what I think of when I think of The Office.

[JunkyardDwg]

True, but I like this version of Andy better than the one trying to take down Dwight.

[LongTimeFan]

It's like saying "Rafer Alston sucks"- sure, it's one's opinion, but it's a little over-the-top, don't you think?

Quoted for truth.

[Apollo Creed]

True, but I like this version of Andy better than the one trying to take down Dwight.

Agreed on that point...I just like him when he's really lame and douchey, as opposed to bleeding out of different body parts or flying off of golf carts. (which I'll admit, did garner a laugh from me)

They're actually starting to make me feel bad for his character, as he's getting shat on week after week.

[Faos]

you should write the show...i'm sure you'd do better... :rolleyes:

I agree. I'd have Jim and Pam split up for good. More Dwight and Angela. More Michael goofiness. More Andy. Bring back Karen and have her become the office slut.

I could also doing a better job writing your posts if you wish. :rolleyes:

All I'm saying, IN MY OPINION, this was the worst episode since the strike and maybe for the season. The writers should be ashamed. They mailed it in.

[Royals Ego]

Watched it.

Liked it.

Will watch again.

[Nice Rollin]

That was pretty much the only "HA!" the show got out of me. But yeah, total setup ep...but that definitely had me rolling.
shortcut!

i also laughed when andy was drinking the beer with a straw.

[moestavern19]

Yeah its pretty much official.... Jim is now Michael.

[moestavern19]

Wow.

This is amazingly hilarious.

[LFE171]

this episode is friggin hilarious

[thelasik]

this episode is friggin hilarious

Werd.

[dandorotik]

YEEEEEE! Knew it- Dwight and Angela!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JunkyardDwg]

I'm gonna be pissed if they f*** up Jim and Pam's relationship.

[moestavern19]

"I felt the biggest crime was the beard"

great episode.

the new girl thinking Kevin is an r-tard was genius

[CharlieMurphy]

the new girl thinking Kevin is an r-tard was genius
Damn right that was brilliant.

I also loved the opening scene of the show (Jim's prank on Dwight). Hilarious.

[Apollo Creed]

Fantastic ep!

Poor Kevin, that hilariously retarded son of a bitch.

[KingCheetah]

That was the most pathetic episode since the show started.

[Nice Rollin]

not enough mr. andy bernard tonight.

darryl: DAMN IT!

[FlyerFanatic]

That was the most AWESOME episode since the show started.

fixed

[FlyerFanatic]

I'm gonna be pissed if they f*** up Jim and Pam's relationship.

i hear that..quit teasing me dammit

[macalu]

"I'm so gonna bang Holly"

:D

[Rokkit]

Great episode. This show is so good that it pisses me off when the characters make a bad decision. :D There's not much on TV that does that.

Also, the Holly/Kevin relationship is awesome.

[The Hunted]

"I felt the biggest crime was the beard"

Best Oscar quote ever!

[Faos]

"I am the reason this office is fun. You are the reason this office is lame."

I'm going to miss Toby. I loved the hate Michael had for him. Anyone know the real reason he's leaving? I figured they would have dumped Meredith before anyone else. She's barely in the show at all.

[The_Yoyo]

the whole holly and kevin bit was freakin awesome

I am so going to bang Holly.


ah man cant wait to see how far they are going to take that

[LCII]

Oh god the Kevin and Holly dynamic is hilarious. I can totally see Kevin making a move on her in season 5 and Holly reacting to it as if Kevin's a r-tard. Something along the lines of:

Kevin: I really like you. *leans in*
Holly: ...Well thank you! I really like you too, Kevin. *pats Kevin on the shoulder and walks away*
*zoom in on Kevin's confused yet pleased face*

[Astro101]

He's actually a writer for the show, so they're not dropping him from the show per se, just the character.

[GRENDEL]

He's actually a writer for the show, so they're not dropping him from the show per se, just the character.
i was starting to wonder if he'd be the character they take for the spin off they've been talking about for next fall.

Anyway, great episode! Took me a while to figure out that Holly was the chick from Gone Baby Gone, can't wait to see what happens next season, so many great parts in this finale!

[Boomhauer]

I thought it would be hard to top the "Did I Stutter" episode but last nights season finale was better. It was classic. My favorite part: the twist on Holly and Kevin. I like how he thinks she's into him. Ryan getting busted and showing it on youtube was genious!

Creed cracked me up last night......

[Faos]

Will Ryan get demoted back to Scranton?

I'm not sure I like the Jan/pregnant by a sperm doner angle.

[Boomhauer]

Will Ryan get demoted back to Scranton?

I'm not sure I like the Jan/pregnant by a sperm doner angle.


That's what she said. j/k I have a feeling that she didn't use a sperm bank, just a hunch. I think she might be covering something up.

[Royals Ego]

AH MY GOD! I cannot wait to see it tonight!!! Darn thursday night classes :mad: :mad:

[The_Yoyo]

i think Jan did use the sperm bank but whats going to happen is that the donor is going to be like someone in the office like Oscar or even Ryan for that matter. either that or just some bum off the street

[ArtV]

The sperm bank was just a lame lie because she want's Michael back but not because she's having his baby.

[FlyerFanatic]

i'm thinking ryan loses his job, michael gets it, jim gets michaels old job..

[mlwoo]

I thought this, in whole, was an awful season. It was awkward as the office always is, but it wasn't funny awkward, it was painful awkward. When Stanley yelled at Michael, the dinner party blowup, the blind date at the coffee shop; these are all examples of times when I wasn't laughing, I just felt bad and did not want to watch the tv anymore. I literally had to cover my eyes and only listen because it was so bad.

Old school office was funny awkward. The Jamaica picture with Pam, cultural day, gay witch hunt; all examples of awkward situations that were still pretty good natured and did not evoke so much damn negative emotion.

With all my complaints with the season as a whole, last night's episode was excellent. When the new girl thought Kevin was retarded, that was incredible. The Toby exit interview was bordering on painful awkward, and then the rock said "suck on this". I almost **** myself.

Great episode last night. I think the hour longs really give time for the whole episode to not be plot/awkward driven and get to add in some funny moments that made the Office so great in the beginning.

its more so because its dark comedy...i find it to be hilarious.

[mlwoo]

its more so because its dark comedy...i find it to be hilarious.
I like irony in dark comedy.

When you literally see Pam and Michael breaking down in front of an entire group of people and fighting I do not find this funny, I find it sad. There is nothing clever in there. It is just painful.

[rrj_gamz]

Thought it was pretty good...definitely one of the better episodes this season, but evah, not IMO...Dwight & Angela in the end was great...I think Jan's "spermbank" thing was kind of lame...I'm of the opinion that it isn't his baby...

The Holly-Kevin bit was hilarious...it had me rolling...It reminded me how funny this show could be...I still don't get why Toby is leaving...The whole Pam/Jim thing is getting lame...

[BigSherv]

that is how tv should be, the season finale should always be the most solid episode.

[LFE171]

i'm thinking ryan loses his job, michael gets it, jim gets michaels old job..

Michael getting ryan's job would open up a whole new world of possibilities of dumb things he can do in nyc.

I really doubt they would pull michael, the boss, away from his office. The whole premise of the show was to have a group of workers deal with an idiotic boss. Him leaving is doubtful.

I do see Karen taking Ryan's job and really pushing jim/pam around. Not to mention Pam will be in nyc for school, alot of more "akward moments" are in the foreseeable future. But I think Karen's hot and yeah, its a pipe dream to see her more in the next season.

[SwoLy-D]

I ALWAYS enjoy seeing more KEVIN. He's like a HUGE TeDDY BEAR. :) I am wondering how long this "special" situation will develop with him and Holly.

I thought Holly was the same European chick from Die Hard With a Vengeance. :D

It was especially weird to see an HR person say the words "... my orgy..." :o Don't ya'll think?

That's what she said. j/k I have a feeling that she didn't use a sperm bank, just a hunch. I think she might be covering something up.Me too. And stop spreading rumors about JAN.
Sincerely,
The Hunted. :o

[QUOTE=GRENDAL]Took me a while to figure out that Holly was the chick from Gone Baby Gone.../QUOTE]

Also, She was McNulty's significant other on "The Wire".

[Faos]

I loved it when Toby blurted out "DOES ANYONE HAVE A CAMERA??????" His crush on Pam was awesome.

I don't know why they didn't show us more of the Andy/Angela relationship during the season. I thought that was going to be a great angle.

I thought for sure a fake Ryan being arrested clip would be on YouTube but I couldn't find it, only this from the show:

[moestavern19]

I don't know why they didn't show us more of the Andy/Angela relationship


probably because she was pregnant the whole last half of this season which is why we only saw her sitting down or behind something.

[steddinotayto]

episode was awesome.

That whole Dwight/Angela thing at the end.... :eek:

And to anyone watching the episodes at nbc.com: doesn't it suck...like hard??? I watch Lost on abc.com and run into commercials like maybe 3-4 times. nbc, on the other hand, has a commercial....then another commercial after that...it's frustrating.

[askball]

watch it on hulu.com

[Royals Ego]

oh man, just saw it...

dwight explaining Suck on This was HILARIOUS.... it had me hysterical!!!!

sux that the season is over already :(

now the waiting begins

[Faos]

I think the writers strike had a big effect on this season. After the strike the show just didn't to seem to flow as well, it seemed disjointed to me. Regardless, I'll be first in line for the season 4 dvd and can't wait for season 5.

[JunkyardDwg]

i'm thinking ryan loses his job, michael gets it, jim gets michaels old job..


I think it'd be a much funnier situation for Ryan to get demoted back to his old position and have to work under Micheal and Jim. And then for Micheal to take it upon himself to "save" Ryan and try to take him under his wing again.

I also hope they resolve this whole Jim/Pam proposal thing. And honestly, if I was in Jim's situation, I'd find some other way to propose to her that night. But then I would never propose to her in the middle of a large gathering. He should have taken her somewhere private as the fireworks were concluding...instead of taking out the engagement ring as he was sitting in a lawn chair.

I also didn't like how they brought back Jan. I was enjoying the Micheal/Holly budding relationship. It might have been funnier if they brought back Jan, pregnant, wanting Micheal back, but Micheal rejecting her in favor of Holly...and then Jan making their lives a living hell.

The Kevin/Holly gag is genius. As was the Dwight/Angela cliffhanger. All in all good episode. Same with Earl too.

[Raven Lunatic]

Whoever predicted that Karen gets the job vacancy that Ryan will leave is a genius. I bet that is EXACTLY what they do. They ran the Pam/Jim thing all season with everyone waiting to see what would screw that up...and nothing. I doubt they do the same next year, and Karen re-entering the picture is the best way to screw that up.

I don't understand why everyone thinks that the writers will end up messing around with Jim and Pam, by repeatedly breaking them up and getting them back together again. I sincerely hope they don't bother with such a tired, worn-out soup opera cliche.

Except Rashida Jones (karen) left the show because she's in another show, Unhitched.

"Unhitched" didn't get picked up, though, so it's done.

You don't have to break them up and bring them back together again to create conflict. And while I agree that the constant breaking up and getting back together is cliche, I'm sure the writers aren't going to write another season without having some kind of conflict interrupting the Jim/Pam bubble of happiness.

[SamFisher]

You guys care about the plot and the story arc? it's just a throwaway to me.

[Raven Lunatic]

You guys care about the plot and the story arc? it's just a throwaway to me.

Well, the plot and the story arc are what allow for the various comedic elements to be delivered. So yeah, it matters. If the plot included Daryl being killed by warehouse machinery, I have a problem with that because everything he says and does is pure gold.

[Rocketman95]

don't think it's been set as to who is going to be in the spin off, gut tells me Toby though

I think after the season finale that it'll be Andy. He seems like the kind of character you could base a show around moreso than Toby.

Deleted scene #4

Andy was the first character I was thinking of as well but it seems like they just started a plot thread with him and Toby leaving seemed pretty quick, just in my opinion at least.

I love the Toby character, but there's no way in hell they would give him his own spinoff show.

Andy was the first character I was thinking of as well but it seems like they just started a plot thread with him and Toby leaving seemed pretty quick, just in my opinion at least.

I think they could have one Office episode where the fling is revealed, Andy is devastated and moves on. Then Bingo, you have a spin-off!

Best Line: Creed

I hear you, think it's debuting mid season, the spin off, so they could move Andy on pretty quickly once he finds out about the affair.

IMO the most logical way to setup the spin-off is to have Angela dump Andy, and then have Andy transferring to Utica and working for Karen.

Why does Creed need 3 chairs?

[SwoLy-D]

^ I don't get it. :(

Anyway, related to THE OFFICE:
I thought Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, is the coach in the newest Southwest Airlines' "Wanna get away?" commercial where the dude subs in without shorts. Anyone else? :confused:

[Royals Ego]

^ I don't get it. :(

You don't get his question, or you don't know why Creed needs 3 chairs?
Why does Creed need 3 chairs?
Who knows, I bet it's something funny.

[SwoLy-D]

You don't get his question, or you don't know why Creed needs 3 chairs?I don't get why he asked that question. Where did he see that Creed has three or needs three?

Oooohhhh... now I get it. Is it from the CHAIR MODEL episode? Creed gets Pam's chair? Is that it? F0ck, I don't know. :(

[mazyar]

I know.

I knew there was a thread around about season 5. But when I searched (google) for it, this one came up. I only realized that this was the old thread afterwards. Anyway, I'm excited about this thursday. Too bad I'll be working thursday night.
