The Office - 2/8 SPOILERS

I forgot another good line ... when they are getting married and the priest says Rob Vance of Vance Refrigeration.

They put a photo gallery of the wedding up at NBC.com - on the invite is we'd like to thank family, friends and Vance Refrigeration. Also, you get a peek at Kevin's fiancee. You also have to check out the wedding cake (near the end).

By the way, next week's show might be cringe-worthy as well:
Ryan invites Michael to be the guest speaker at his business school.

 

The show isn't close to losing me or anything like that, but I found Michael to be cringe-worthy on this one.

This was like Larry David on "Curb Your Enthusiasm." You almost wanted to cover your eyes at some point.

 

Except Curb is funny when Larry goes off the deep end and last night's Office wasn't.
It had some funny moments, but it was one of the worst shows they have done.

 

Michael was over the top, but I loved, LOVED, the line at the end when he's with Al:
"Enough already. I've been listening to you for 30 minutes, most of it over the top of my head."

 

Al: "The Celtics were a great team."

 

I love that Bob Vance (of Vance Refrigeration) can't rereferenced without a mention of his job.

 

A spoof, I suppose, of the multitudes in this country who feel constantly compelled to remind people of what smashing successes they are by their job title? (The creators of "Friends" used Ross and Joey in this same way often).

 

Too much Michael = bad show.

 

I don't know. Yeah, Michael was cringeworthy, but I think this episode really hammers home the point more than most that he absolutely cannot stand it when he's not the center of attention. Even when he knows someone else is supposed to be the focus, he makes it all about him. He just went a little over the top this time.

 

Best line of the night was when Michael was doing his wedding speech and got the definition of "wedding" mixed up with "welding."

The Creed bit was hilarious as well.

 

He also seemed to confuse metals and medals during that speech.

 

The wedding pics are great. Brilliant of them to go the "real wedding pics" route, as if someone emailed you the slideshow. Ryan's face in the shot of him and Kelly (dressed like a bride) was priceless. He had my best moment of the night: reaching out and deflecting the bouquet away from her.
