The TV Addict 

I haven’t watched S4 yet (which is why I need the DVD!!!) so I can’t comment on that. But, I did have a boss about 10 years ago who made us throw away hundreds of invitations to an event because we’d printed them on blue, rather than green cardstock (and no, the event did not have a color scheme, and yes, he’d previously said that blue was fine).

Let’s see I think the boss closest to Michael Scott would be one who was having a major affair on his wife and ended up at a convention being found in the hotel elevator passed out in just his bathrobe. He told everyone that he was drugged in the hotel bar and fleeced by some hookers despite the fact that there was photographic evidence of him climbing in a cab with two “working women.” He then recounted how this new restaurant looks like a brothel but it’s not like he has first hand knowledge of what one of those looks likes (there were people running to the bathrooms trying to hide the hysterical laughing. This guy also regularly used to walk into the glass wall of his office until we finally had blinds installed that would demark where the glass was….. A true gem

One of my favorite moments is in the first episode, where they get to the end of the Fun Run and realize Michael didn’t have them run in a loop, just the whole distance out. Oh, and Stanley and them ditching the run. My favorite line from that episode had to be when Creed was talking about being in cults, both as a leader (more money) and a follower (more fun).

A former supervisor of mine used to read excerpts from the Bible during our one-on-one supervision meetings. Strange and uncomfortable!

My favourite scene from Season 4 is Kelly and Pam’s banter about the ping-pong.

“I don’t talk trash I talk smack”

HILARIOUS

I love the episode where Michael and Dwight go to clubs with Ryan. It makes me so happy when Ryan is excited to see them, and Michael is like “It’s Michael and Dwight.” Also, when Dwight pours out the drink that the girl sent him! “Nice try!” indeed!

My favorite moment from the forth season was from one of the first episodes, when Pam gets in her car and drives down the road. It looks like she is going to cry (because of not being with Jim), but just then Jim gets in her car and they are together. Awwwwwww!

In Cali’s moment was my favorite, too! I loved how secretive they tried to be with cameras following them. I also loved the awkwardness of “Dinner Party” and Dwight reading Harry Potter to Jim and Pam at the beet farm.

I loved holding the pizza delivery boy hostage

My favorite is in Chair Model when Michael goes up to Oscar…. “Hey there, Oscar Mayer Wiener…Lover.”

I waited all hiatus to laugh that hard outloud.

i loved the dinner party episode in season 4 when pam, jim, andy and angela go to michael’s for dinner. The whole episode was just hilarious and so funny from Dwight not being invited and how Jim and Pam try to avoid the invitation. And then with the Pam VS Jan fight…and obviously when jan throws the dundee at michaels beloved plasma. Just one of the funniest episodes ever.

My favorite part was when Dwight tricked Andy into selling his car. “Seller beware.” The car wash scene was pretty hilarious, too.

Can I have two? First, Amy Ryan’s brilliant treatment of Kevin as a little slow. “That’s a button…” and Secondly, anything Mindy Kaling says. “I don’t talk trash. I talk smack. They’re totally different. Trash talk is all hypothetical, like, “Your momma is so fat, she could eat the Internet.” But smack talk is, happening like, right now. Like, “you’re ugly and I know it for a fact, ’cause I got the evidence. Right there.”

Hunter’s demo CD kicked a sort of sluggish season four up a notch. Jan’s swaying, Jim and Pam serenading each other in the car, the obvious overtones. Perfection. It’s now my ringtone.

“You took me by the hand, made me a man, that one night, you made everything alright.”

What a great way to welcome the show back after the strike.

I don’t know that anything can match Michael seeing Toby in his bow tie. Michael vs. Toby was always hilarious, but “Oh. My. God. That’s why people are leaving. I-I have no words” was brilliant. The sheer disgust and hatred in Michael’s voice is unmatched.

The incredibly awkward dinner party… everything about it… Michael’s incredibly small plasma TV, Jan’s candle making, her obsession with Hunter’s CD and of course Michael telling Jan that he used to date Pam! It was classic and hilarious….

Oh! And Jim lying and saying his apartment was flooding to leave and then at the end when Michael needs somewhere to stay and we get this:
Jim: My apartment’s on fire
Pam: Flooded
Jim: Flooded.

Awesome.

Like the time when Michael managed to crash his car into a lake due to GPS incompetence (I can totally imagine one of my profs doing that…)

My favorite part of season 4 was the first time Jim fake-proposed to Pam. Cute and funny, which basically describes their whole relationship.

My favorite moment from Season 4 is from the Branch Wars deleted scene where Michael, Jim, and Dwight are in the car driving back to Scranton from Utica, and Dwight laments, “I cut a chunk out of my penis for nothing.”

My favorite moment was in the final episode when Michael & Dwight are so ready to hate Holly, “the female Toby,” but then when she makes a joke about Toby being lame, Michael instantly falls in love. The look on his face of love, admiration, and bewilderment of being so wrong are hilarious. Only Steve Carell, man, only Steve Carell.

The best Jam moment of the season: “I love Italian food!” That kiss was amazing.

From Goodbye, Toby; Holly thinks Kevin is slow…

Favorite moment: Kevin is driving off to the market, and Holly tells him she’s really proud of him. He then waves bye in the most hilarious fashion, and when he stops to make a turn, he makes a face at the camera like “Oh yeah, I’m so gonna bang her”, even though the glare off the window makes it kind of tough to see.

My favorite scene from season four was from “Chair Model” when Jim did the first fake proposal to Pam. It was the only part from the entire season that made me almost pee my pants, I went CRAZY. When he got on one knee I stared at the TV screen in awe, my smile felt a mile wide and my stomach turned inside out. I can’t even describe my happiness from that moment. That’s how excited and shocked I was. Then after the scene, even though he didn’t really propose, I clapped, giggled, screamed and rewound the scene on my recording tape probably more than fifteen times. My family got mad at me because I was being too loud, but I am not ashamed because I love the show so much that I still had the same amount of excitement seeing it for the fifteenth time, as if I just saw it for the first time.

Branch wars when Michael is talking to Dwight, Pam, and Oscar about why peopel are leaving the office (the music). Toby then walks in with a bowtie on. Michael: oh…my….god.

I love the moment in the conference room when Jim and Pam finally admit that they are dating (only after they’ve been shown the footage of them kissing in Pam’s car). Jenna and John have such great chemistry together — and they both get giggly and actually start blushing when they’re talking about it. It’s too cute.

SO many great moments to choose from! A few of my favorite parts from season 4 are:
Jim faking Pam out with his proposals
Holly thinking Kevin is “slow”
Mose running with Jim and Pam’s car when they go to Dwight’s B&B
Michael’s ad that he makes for the company
Andy singing ‘take a chance on me’ to Angela
Jim and Pam’s prank on Dwight- where he thinks the DMI website is alive, “this happens to computers and robots sometimes.”

My favorite moment is in the Job Fair episode, when Michael tells Pam to get one new sheet of paper from the office. Pam calls Jim and says something to the effect of “I could just fax it” and he gets this big smile and says “I like you.”

So understated yet so adorable.

My favorite moment from season 4 has to be the Jim/Pam scene in ‘Money’ where Jim walks back into the office and kisses Pam – and their talking heads go onto discuss their ‘passion and love of Italian food’. So so great.

My favorite moment from season four was in the episode Goodbye Toby. I laugh everytime Michael makes that face at Toby when Toby tries to answer the question, “What would you improve about DunderMifflin?” during his final review.

Seeing as English isn’t my native language, my favorite moment in season 4 was in “Money”, when they had the discussion whether “who” or “whom” is correct, because we really had to learn that in English class…and when Kelly said then “Ryan used me as an object.” I just couldn’t stop laughing anymore, it was just too hilarious.

My favorite moment of the fourth season is seeing Jim do his best to console Dwight over the loss of his beloved Angela as his girlfriend – it was a tender moment between two rivals that showed that there was a strong bond between the two of them.

“We can go eat pie!” -Kevin Malone

There were so many great moments this season, from Andy’s nipple bandaids to Toby’s unrequited love. We saw Dwight’s heartbreak, Merideth’s pelvic cast, Michael’s foot of the bed “bed.” We watched Jim and Pam finally happy together- at the same time- with each other. We saw Michael stand up to Jan, kinda. We saw Dwight get a girl while clubbing with Michael and Ryan (that sentence still doesn’t even make sense in my mind… who could have predicted any of that!)
But for me the best moment comes when Jim is giving Michael, who is obviously interested in Holly, advice on how the office is a great place to get to know someone and start a relationship. I just love how during this conversation it occurs to Jim how many important moments he’s had with Pam at the office. It’s funny how we can spend so much time in a place without realizing how important it is in our lives. They (meaning both the characters and the actors/writers/crew) have formed their own unique little family, and through the lens of this mockumentary, they’ve made us feel a part of it too. I love this show!

I, like Ryan in the Office, have worked as a Temp. (Although, I didn’t know when I went for the interview that it was a temp agency; the job description on the site led me to believe that it was the actual company searching for employees. Also, there was not a documentary film crew and/or a really adorable guy like Jim Halpert at the office. ;D)

Over the next couple of months, I became a member of the “special” group of temps (or even permanent employees) that actually learned several/most of the different tasks that the company offers to clients. What our lead manager always emphasized was to have high numbers/output; so, basically the company wanted to get quantity, not quality (which happens to go against my personal beliefs and work ethic). The lead manager would always stress this constant activity and that we were to always bill the clients for every little thing – no matter if we got the job done correctly or not.

Anyway, what ended up happening is that due to the company’s greed, bad business model, and lack of foresight from our lead manager the company ended up losing their largest account (which happened to be the only money maker) due to the lack of results and our over-charging for our services. So, that meant that the company let go most of the 150+ temps, and even several full-time employees – all because they told us to do our jobs poorly. And unfortunately, I am was one of the people let go and I have yet to find another real job – over three months later.

So, even though I was going to buy this at some point – I’m currently trying to avoid un-necessary spending, but winning this boxset would be like Christmas-come-early; because until I find another job – watching “The Office” can always put a smile on my face. ;D

OH, and also – my FAVORITE Season 4 episode was “Night Out” because it finally shows that even Jim wouldn’t necessarily be a perfect leader – he IS just a regular guy – not all-knowing….. Not to mention it was also great fun seeing Dwight AND Ryan out clubbing and them not being their usual jerk-selves. ;D

My favorite moment is when Andy stereo-sang “Take A Chance on Me” to Angela. Here Comes Treble for the win!

“I’m SO going to bang Holly.” Kevin, you crack me up! Biggest laugh of season 4.

i liked how in the episode of goodbye toby, michael gives phyllis the job of planning toby’s goodbye party and they were discussing all these plans on how to send toby off and then afterwards there’s a scene where phyllis is on the phone going through the phone book asking for companies that rent anti-gravtity machines. that was hilarious.
