Break me off a piece of that surge-ry scar!
The Office S4E5
- Haha. Michael thinks the ad company is coming to help them with the first ever Dunder-Mifflin Infinity commercial. So he thinks the office peeps are coming up with the idea. This will be fun.
- “Break me off a piece of that applesauce… Chrysler car… Football creme.”
- I just didn’t think they came anymore self-unaware than Michael. But Andy takes the cake.
- Standley is the key to the office’s “urban vibe.” “Urban? I grew up in a small town. What about me seems urban to you?”
- Papa bear, Mama bear, Baby bear. Good cow.
- LOL. “I think it’s great the company’s making a commercial. Because not that many people have heard of us.”
- Hey, what’s the deal with Second Life on TV this week? CSI: NY had a whole Second Life episode, too. Not to mention the news about the man who was having the virtual affair for several hours a day with another avatar, ignoring his own wife and kids.
- I love Jim! He’s so funny. Dwight: “Second Life is not a game. It is a multi-user virtual environment. It doesn’t have points or scores. It doesn’t have winners or losers.” Jim: “Oh, it has losers.”
- Dwight is too much in this episode! I have to say, it doesn’t feel like a whole Office experience with Frank not sitting next to me. We always crack up at the same moments, pause to discuss and/or laugh, and look at each other with laughing eyes when we find the same things funny (which is always since we’re totally soul mates).
- Back to Dwight. “I signed up for Second Life about a year ago. Back then, my life was so great that I literally wanted a second one. In my Second Life, I was also a paper salesman, and I was also named Dwight.” Dwight’s character is named “Asst to Regional Mgr Dwight Shelford.” Bwahahahaha. It *is* how he would play Second Life. “Absolutely everything was the same. Except I could fly.”
- Haha. The office peeps get to do the last five seconds of the ad. They can be waving, sitting, clapping… Anything that ends with ing apparently. They can do anything.
- Poor Dwight! Andy and Angela have been nuzzling their necks together, and Andy wants Dwight’s advice. “We cannot talk about this, because… someone might hear us.” *sniff* Andy: “We’ll use code names.” Dwight: “Angela can stay the same, and we’ll change Andy… to Dwight.” “That’s not different enough.” YOU’RE not different enough for Angela, Andy! “Dwighk?”
- Ryan is funny as Michael’s boss. So Jan-like.
- Rowdi is growling in her sleep. She sounds pretty scary when she growls.
- Michael thinks he created unicorns when he was five. “Five. Five years old. Couldn’t even talk yet.” Hahahahaha.
- “And thus… Michael Scott seals his own destiny… … In a good way.”
- Michael to the whole office: “You are so much more creative than all the other dry, boring morons that you work with.” Jim: “Who are you talking to? Specifically.”
- Haha, Oscar: “When I was younger I always wanted to be an actor in commercials. Then I realized I had a brain.” Whoredith: “I’m excited about doing the ad, but I’m not really used to doing videos with so many people around.”
- “Oscar, I would like you to do costume design, obviously.”
- “This would be a huge coup [prounounced coop], people.”
- Angela: “I find the mystery genre disgusting. I hate being titillated.”
- LOL, the quintet singing the Dunder-Mifflin song.
- “You need to learn a lot about your own culture. I’ll make you a mix.” Darryl: “Great.” I love how much he messes with Michael.
- Jim is tracking Dwight in Second Life! And LOL, Dwight Shelford has created his own world called Second Second Life, for people who want to be removed even further from reality. And Jim! Jim’s avatar is a sportswriter in Philly named Jim Samtanko who plays guitar. Aw, he has dreams.
- The musical group is getting pretty good. I like the second song. The harmonies are great. Michael: “This is not me. This is not my music.” Darryl: “You’re right. It’s better than you. It’s us.” I just don’t even know whom to feel sorry for in this case.
- “Break me off a piece of that lumber tar… Snickers bar…”
- Poor Phyllis. She got thrown out of the bookstore in front of all of her friends. Michael only wants to know if she got Sue Grafton.
- LOL. Pam: “I worked until about 2:45 a.m. And then I had to decide if I wanted to spend the night with Michael, editing in his office, and Dwight, watching Michael edit in his office, or drive home and probably fall asleep at the wheel and die in a fiery car wreck. I passed out on my keyboard trying to decide.”
- “D for Andy.” “Ohhhhhh, D!”
- Jim’s a good guy. “The Michael Scott director’s cut.”
- LOL. Stanley is a convict picking up trash.
- I loved the commercial. Corporate should have used it.
- “Break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast! It’s a cat food commercial.”

There has been a lot of 2nd life related stuff on television lately. I think L&O had a sim related case recently as well (wasn’t Second Life specifically, but it was basically the same thing).
To be honest I was hoping to see a little more 2nd Life related hijinx. It was setup as if it would be a running joke all episode (like Schrute Farms from last week) but they didn’t do much with it other than show Dwight flying around and Jim w/ a guitar on his back.
Loved the song as well, too bad they didn’t use it in the commercial.

Yeah, the Second Life stuff could have been a comedy goldmine for the show. I hope they revisit it in future episodes.
My favorite line was the “coop”. Brilliant subtle humor.
PS - Love the blog. Very entertaining read.

I dont really get the whole commercial thing, ordinarily the writers of the office are tying to make Micheal seem like an idiot. But his commercial was in quite simply better.
