Sir Lemming posted:Yeah the fact that they did a clip show -- well into the era where you could easily look up "Best Jim/Dwight Pranks" on YouTube, or binge-watch the DVDs of every previous season -- was freaking bizarre. I wonder if that was the last clip show ever? Community had a clip show of stuff not actually aired so it was actually brilliant. I don't know if that came before or after The Office clip show.

Yeah, episode 2. The first couple flashbacks are to the first episode before it starts going out there. "That was just last week!" When the show was first aired they showed episode 4 and 2, in that order, so half the jokes didn't really work. Then it got cancelled.

Back in the mid 00s VH1 used to air these shows about how extravagantly celebrities lived and the ridiculous things they bought. I can't see something like that airing today and not causing some riots.

londonarbuckle posted:Roseanne is one of my favorite shows of all time, and I love the terrible seasons just as much as the actual good seasons, but I don't know if my heart can take this. I don't think I could handle seeing him play a Trump supporter. He's a pretty liberal dude, and while I don't normally care if an actor plays a person opposite of their real-life politics.... something about supporting Trump rubs me the wrong way, especially when the show's whole message was that of "Hey it can be tough to understand the world and sometimes its scary and unfair but we'll get through things if we stick together" it was a very inclusive show and Trump just... isn't.. he's a very bad president and person and i don't think he deserves a TV show where the main actors are all about him. also Rosanne herself used to be very much down-to-earth and she's loving bonkers now so that's even more awkward now Tumble has a new favorite as of 04:26 on Mar 7, 2018 |

The saddest episode of the Office for me was the gift baskets. Because Michael, for all his faults seemed to be a good salesman who was promoted past his skill level. Gift baskets are such an archaic thing nowadays, I was hoping it'd somehow validate his past success and surprise everyone. Best Office parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg8NS6s0fkw

I quit watching The Office early on but I remember a great scene where Dwight and Jim go out to do a sales pitch and it showed that they are a great team.

Though the deposition one had one of my favorite lines of any TV show, "You expect to get screwed by your company, you don't expect to get screwed by your girlfriend."

Creed also didn't get a happy ending but I'm amazed that literally everyone else got a super happy ending and it still didn't come off as too contrived. Edit: Also in my opinion Scott's Tots is the cringiest that Michael gets and is one of the very few episodes I usually skip. Watching Michael crush the dreams of an entire class of kids is hard to watch. Hey Mr. Scott, whatcha gonna good? Whatcha gonna do? Make our dreams come true!

I stopped watching after Pam and Jim got married. I'd occasionally stumble across an episode and Dwight is showing off a triangle tablet and I quickly change the channel.

Did they ever explain why the Scranton office was the most profitable? I know one character went to work in a different city, but I can't recall if other locations were more or less dysfunctional.

There's an episode where they don't have a manager and everyone just does their job on their own time and everything gets done. It's funny, everyone is a ridiculous caricature of a human being but they all do their jobs.
