The Office 1/11 SPOILERS

One thing that I like is the fact that Dwight and Michael are both very effective salesmen.

I thought that it was just a great episode. Do you think that Phyliss told Karen (not Angela) about Jim and Pam to be a jerk? I wasn't sure.

 

I hope they lose ed helms. he adds nothing to the show.

 

The slap in the face was perfect ... as was Andy's gratuitous use of the word "douche." Another great episode ...

 

-- Jim slapping Dwight was simply tremendous.
-- Then, they go in and make the deal. One huge difference in the UK and US versions of the show is that they actually show them working here. Didn't need to in the original, but this allows them to do a lot more stuff and actually provide more complete characters. Michael's a dork, but he can sell. Ditto Dwight.
-- I like Ed Helms' character, but he's digging a pretty big hole. Of course, he could just wind up doing Michael's laundry for two years.
-- Phyllis didn't tell Karen about Jim-Pam to be a jerk, I don't think. Just gossiping.
-- The look on Karen's face when she understood the reason for the makeover was very good. Another piece to an episode with a lot of little nuggets in it. The Office isn't Seinfeld at its peak when four storylines collided at the end, but it's got a lot of depth.

 

That's, for me at least, what makes this show so great. As many times as we've seen Dwight or Michael act like bafoons, when it comes down to their actual job, they ARE really good at it. Adds to, I guess for a lack of a better word, the show's realism.

Oh, and as a side note, I still love 30 Rock. (I think I have a thing for Tina Fey that makes me a little biased.)

 

I just thought it was great to see that they're all actually good at their jobs. Even Phyllis and Dwight, who might be hapless, otherwise, had that down pat. And for some reason it was great to see Jim and Dwight, who don't otherwise get along, work together so well on a sale. Who'd have thought?

completely disagree, big tuna.

 

Sorry, what was the reason for the makeover?

 

The client's wife had a similar look to what Phyllis and Karen had post-makeover.
