I just watched this new show 'The Office'
« on: November 29, 2007, 11:20:50 PM »
OMG! It's FUNNY! =D

I watched all six episodes last night.

Uh. That's all.

I wonder how the British version is?

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Debilitatingly funny in parts but cringeworthy in the main, it's supposed to be like that though.

I'd heard the american ersion wasn't a patch on the british one.

i watched an episode of the american 'office' but didn't like it, the humour didn't translate very well imo

Maybe when you're associated with it... you distance yourself? Like a fry cook won't eat hamburgers, a life guard doesn't relaxing at the beach or a priest stops reading the Bible? Wait. Scratch that last one.

The Office = best thing on tv. No contest.

Watch season 2! It gets even better once they start giving bits to all the secondary characters.

Oh the secondary characters really add to the show. =)

"You see... it's FUNNY because you're getting old and you were divorced TWICE! HA... get it?"

Sad Co-Worker: "Yeah... i get it. It's... funny. *sad smile*"

Dwight: The problem, Jim, is that people who are really suffering from a medical condition won't receive the care they need because someone in this office is coming up with ridiculous stuff. Count Choculitis.
Jim: Sounds tough.
Dwight: Why did you write that down, Jim? Is it because you know I love Count Chocula?

---------

Dwight referring to imaginary diseases...

"Who wrote anal fissures? Nobody has that."

Embarrassed looking man: "Some people do..."

Dwight: "Does anyone here have it?"

*Silence*

Dwight takes it off and the Embarrassed looking man looks sad.

Diseases submitted by the staff: Ebola, Mad Cow Disease, Spontaneous dentohydroplosion, Leprosy, Hotdog Fingers, Government Created Killer Nano-robot infection, Count Choculitis, Inverted Penis, Anal Fissures, and Dermititis.
