The Office

[Andy]

I liked when the boss was interrupting the diversity trainer (the black guy) and then asked what his name was, when the trainer said his name was Mr. Brown, the boss said:

"I will not call you that.  Nice try though.  That was a test, right?"

[lomez]

"collared greens, that doesn't really make sense.  you don't call them collared people.  now that's offensive"

The scene where the evil lacky had all the employees in the room, requiring the to identify their health conditions (because 'they had lost the privilidge of confidentiaity') this week had me in stiches

[Andy]

One of the funniest scenes on any show all year.

"What's an inverted penis?"
"You mean...a vagina?  Because I want that covered."
"I thought you had yours removed?"
"I had a hysterectomy.  They remove your uterus, not your vagina.  They're not the same thing."
"Whatever."

I must say I thought having the lackey wear an anime t-shirt was pretty funny this week.

I liked watching Dwight try and drink water while wearing the "broken nose face shield" during the basketball game was pretty good.  The Office is a very funny show.  You can see Ricky Gervais' fingerprints all over it.  When NBC bought the rights to Coupling they ruined it by not letting the creator do anything.  They just made an unfunny Friends rip off and slapped his name on the end of it.  I just hope his checks cleared.

As fantastic as Gareth, his UK counterpart, is on the BBC version, I can think of no more hilarious character on television today than Dwight on the American version.

Him dressing as the Sith Lord last night was gold, Jerry.  Toward the end, after Jim had been pulled into Michael's office, and the cute receptionist (damn, forgot her name) looked at Dwight, and Dwight stared back at her menacingly, and slowly put his Sith hood back up, compelling her to involuntarily, and subtly shudder upon the visage...I just about wet my pants.

Such good stuff.  God bless these 21st century sitcoms (AD, The Office, naturally "the Simpsons" from an earlier millenia)  that make do without the infernal laugh track.

I loved it when Dwight got the phone call from the other paper company after Jim had put his resume on Monster.com.

"How did you get my resume?  Oh, I know, it must have been submitted to you by yet another very satisfied customer of mine.  Wait, is it the most current one?  What is listed under "Martial Arts skills?"  Wait, I need to add some.  What's your fax number?"

"I'm a Sith Lord"

Working for a small programming company, this hits disturbingly close to home.

Every single woman in the office in a cat costume...damn funny stuff...

I thought the Indian (with a dot, not a feather) chick was Dorothy.

[forklift]

forgot about that...the "Bend It Like Beckham" joke...

Dwight Schrute is quite possibly the funniest character on television right now.  His comments on the yeast infections were gold.

The thing that is so great about Dwight is that I work with about 5 Dwights
