NBC Comedy: The Office, Parks & Recreation, 30 Rock, Community

[NFBuck]

The Office is still a great show, but I watched my season 2 DVD last week and the show was on fire then. I hope it wasn't the peak of the series.

Sadly, it was. :(

The Office will have two more seasons. Next year will see a continual downfall in quality and ratings. Carrell's replacement will be a flop and will not return for the last season of the show. For the last season, they will bring in John Lovitz, as no other comedian does a better job of assisting in the death of a show.

season 3 has always been my favorite

A moment of silence please for the awesomeness that was NewsRadio. :(

The show went downhill in a hurry in season 4.

season 3 has always been my favorite

Season 2 was pretty great:

Suggestion Box
Grilled Foot
Dwight Concussion
Urine Test / Pot Investigation (Jim to Dwight "How much pot did you smoke?")
Dwight's Speech
etc

Season 3 however had the untoppable:

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Gallactica


Conflict Resolution (season 2) is precisely why I hate that Jim's new role is about professionalism and babies

Jim Halpert: Dwight tried to kiss me.
Michael Scott: What?
Jim Halpert: And I didn't tell anyone because I'm not really sure how I feel about it.
Dwight Schrute: That is not true. Redact it. Redact it!
Jim Halpert: Well, I'm not actually making a formal complaint. I just really think we should talk about it.

Jim Halpert: This came out really well. There you go. [hands Dwight his new ID]
Dwight Schrute: This is humongous, I am not a security threat. And my middle name is Kurt, not Fart.
Jim Halpert: What did I write?

Michael Scott [reading] "This morning, I found a bloody glove in my desk drawer and Jim Halpert tried to convince me I committed murder. I think he may be the real murderer." [flips to another paper] "Jim Halpert said there was an abandoned infant in the woman's room. When I went to save the child, I saw Meredith on the can." Gah. "This morning, I knocked myself in the head with the phone."
Jim Halpert [cuts to camera] That actually took a while. I had to put, uh, more and more nickels into his handset, till he got used to the weight, and then I just... took 'em all out.

Michael Scott Okay, so Dwight, in your own words - [reads from complaint paper] "Someone replaced all my pens and pencils with crayons. I suspect Jim Halpert." [flips to another paper] "Everyone has called me 'Dwayne' all day. I think Jim Halpert paid them to."
Jim Halpert [cuts to camera] Yes! Five bucks each and it was totally worth it.

Michael Scott [reading] "Every time I typed my name, it said 'Diapers'."
Jim Halpert [cut to camera] Just a simple macro. You know, these actually don't sound that funny one after another. But he does deserve it, though.

Michael Scott [reads] "By the end of the day, my desk was about two feet closer to the copier."
Jim Halpert [cut to talking head] Yeah, I just moved it an inch every time he went to the bathroom. And that's how I spent my entire day that day.

with a little creed sprinkled in

Michael Scott: Ok, Ryan, you told Toby that Creed has a distinct old man smell.
Creed: I know exactly what he's talking about. I sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk drawer. Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

Michael Scott: Someone complained that the men's room is whites only. Stanley, you know that's not true.
Stanley: I didn't say that.
Creed: Then why is there a picture of a white man on the door?

Dwight Concussion

Dwight puking on his own car is still one of my favorite moments...and Jim with the spray bottle.

"Don't send Dwight."

"...there's no toilet paper here."

Season 3 however had the untoppable:

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Gallactica

Which led to the almost equally as splendid:

...man, this show was GREAT once upon a time.

Conflict resolution is one of my favorite episodes. I wish they could go back to that :(

Dwight, you forgot your bumper!

Ryan is... dead... nope...

Do you want some aspirin, because you seem kind of fussy.

(Scoliosis) No, a real disability, not a woman's trouble.

What do I put under reason for visit?

Oh my God, I'm friends with Dwight.

 

[NFBuck]

What do I put under reason for visit?

"What did you put?"

"Nothing, I wrote, 'Bringing someone to the hospital.' "

 

[WolverineMike]

all time favorites there. Maybe season 2 and 3 are tied for me as the best.......

Just fired up Netflix for some background hilarity during editing.

"The Client" was queued up (I'm glad they combined all TV shows into one folder per show instead of 15 years = 15 folders).

Leaving one... DWIGT.

Can't forget about "The Carpet" from Season 2
Michael: I am Pam. Spicoli guy. Oh, God. Names, numbers. Okay. [walking into office] Whoa! God! Yuck, yuck. Yuck. Yuck!
Pam: What?
Michael: Wow! What happened in there?
Pam: I don't know.
Michael: There is stink in there, my God! What is... what is that?
Pam: [looking at pile on Michel's carpet] Oh... I don't know.
Michael: Is it a bird?
Pam: No, I don't think it's a bird.
Michael: Oh, God! How could that happen? How could... right in the middle of the carpet.
Kevin: What's goin' on?
Michael: Um, somebody vomited right in the middle of the carpet in my office.
Kevin: [taking a look] I don't think that's vomit.
Michael: Check it out.
Kevin: Me?
Michael: Check it out. Don't be a wuss, just get... no, I'm not holding your coffee.
Kevin: Oh, that's ridiculous.
Michael: What is it?
Kevin: Michael. [tapping on door]
Michael: What is it? No, just tell me what it is.
Kevin: [pounding on door] Michael, I ... I ... I gotta get outta here. I can't hold my breath that long.
Pam: Open the door up!

Michael: Once, as a joke, Packer banged every chick in the office. [giggles] It was hysterical.
