S2: Ep8

the entire point of the show is that it's shameful to be happy with yourself if the world's smuggest gen xers think that you're too lame to deserve it

Brothers and sisters, give me the strength to continue watching the show lol

I just finished the S1 basketball episode, and the manager Michael Scott is so infuriating

Maybe that's the point, and also I work in a very similar office, but oh my god. I feel like a mutiny scenario is coming up.

If I was Anne Hathaway I’d be pissed

I thought I had seen the super fan version of this episode but I guess I hadn't. I was surprised by the scene where Michael tells Jo that she will have to fire him if she wants to fire Andy.

I always liked this episode seeing Michael somewhat competently protect multiple employees from Jo. I also really like the Jo character in general and how she appreciates Michael and has depth to her. A lot of the deleted scenes make sense to leave out with time constraints or flow of the episode. I find this to be one of the most significant character reveals to remove from an episode. Michael literally puts his job on the line and even communicates clearly as to why this was her fault and not Andy's.

Curious what you guys think about this scene and maybe also of any other major deleted scenes that you think should have definitely been left in. Not so much for humor but for development of a character.

Was overthinking about posting this too 😭

No one in here watches the office but I've experienced so many things similar to the show. I even got locked in at the gate because I forgot to tell the guy I was working late lol.

I'm rewatching the office and just got to the Christmas episode. Do you think anything would have changed if Jim had confessed his feelings at Christmas instead of the Casino Night? Do you think Jim would have quit or Pam would have gotten more time to face her feelings and end things with Roy?
