Phyllis mentions giving up a baby in high school and later Erin says she wish she had her birth mother to ask for advice...meaning Erin is Phyllis's daughter!! nah just playing but that would be nuts
Thought it was obvious Creed is really the Scranton Strangler but we all know he will never get caught. That's Creed for ya.
http://www.nbc.com/the-office/exclusives/michael-scott/somehow-i-manage/ On the Office web site, they have all five chapters from Mr. Scott's unfinished manual "Somehow I Manage." Chapter 1: "There are all types of managers: financial managers, McDonald's managers, Britney Spears' manager, paper company managers, moms, baseball managers… the list goes on. Not all those people are naturally good at their jobs. Some have to work really hard at it. Others write books about it. I'm Michael Scott and this is my manual, "Somehow I Manage." If you follow my guidelines, soon you'll be the world's second best manager (Sorry, I'll always be #1. I have a mug that proves it.)."
http://www.nbc.com/the-office/exclusives/michael-scott/somehow-i-manage/chapter-2.shtml Chapter 2: Everybody likes the guy who offers them a stick of gum.
Chapters 3, 4 and 5 Chapter Three: Think Simple That last chapter seemed skimpy, huh? That's where you're wrong pal. It was simple. And simple is good. Getting people on your side is as easy as offering them some gum. *Don't ever give your employees Tic Tacs though, that will make you seem like a grandma. Gum Guy is nice, laid-back and cool. He's the type of manager who people want to hang out with after work and tell their life stories to. And you should tell them your whole life story too! That will make everyone close and happy, and happy families get more stuff done together than enemies do. Just look at Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie - they could be making awesome father/daughter movies, but instead they hate each other and barely talk. Such a missed opportunity. Chapter Four: Equality Treat people like equals and always make them feel good about themselves. It will pay off. For example, my ex-friend Packer once implied that my employee Phyllis wasn't hot. I couldn't have that kind of negativity floating around. So I hugged Phyllis and told her I was worried about getting a boner. It made her feel wonderful. Later on that day she made two big sales. Another time I kissed a gay accountant during a meeting to show how accepting I was of his sexual orientation. He was going to quit before that, but guess what? It's been five years since that kiss, and he's still here. Chapter Five: Entertain "For some trips, high-speed rail will be faster than flying. Without the pat down." Who said it? Cosby? Tosh.0? Nope. Obama! Even the President tells jokes. That just goes to show how important comedy is. As a leader, people expect you to entertain them. Some managers might find this difficult because they're busy doing other things like paperwork or employee reviews. Delegate all that boring stuff to other people so you have more time to entertain. Comedy should always take precedence over everything else because it makes people cheerful, and when they're cheerful they work better. Someone once told me comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself, and that couldn't be truer. Make sure your employees' minds are getting tickled on a daily basis. They'll be so grateful, and so will you.
Yeah...I got choked up on multiple occasions - mostly when Dwight read his letter of recommendation, his meeting with Jim, and when he was taking one last look at all his "best friends" before walking out. The Pam part was touching, but just didn't carry the same weight for me. I don't know how the show will do without Steve, but it's going to be interesting - that's for sure.
The Phylis/Erin thing is too obvious. I can't imagine they'd toss something out like that so freely.... ...then again, they did cast Will Ferrell
at the beginning of the episode, where Michael tossed his cup away and replaced it with the Dundie, that was so awesome and subtle, because the original opening had a shot where he positioned a Dundie on his desk, it was short, but it was identical... that alone wrapped it up for me, and I realized... this has come full circle
I thought I was imagining things when it happened but I'm glad you saw it too. I'm really hoping for a Holly and Michael wedding episode next season!
I wonder who's going to be doing the interviews? Will it be Gabe? or Jo? ... I don't think they've ever mentioned who the direct boss of Michael was after 'Sabre' took over.
I noticed that as well, I mentioned it to my friends that were over watching, they had never noticed that part in the intro before...
I agree. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZhQ1uwMEoGw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Loved seeing Michael end with a "that's what she said" off microphone.
I was always wondering where that trophy was, it's been the same little sequence since season 1 I think. I was expecting more tear jerkers. Kinda annoyed Pam and Michael's goodbye was muted. Shoulda been 1.5 hours just too many goodbyes and it was just like 2 minutes per person. Maybe nix the whole andy/deangelo story. Toby and Rory Flenderson was pretty funny.
I really enjoyed the episode. However, I am seriously going to stop watching the show if Will Farrell stays continues to just be an awkward nuisance around the office. Do not want.
