Last night’s episode of The Office really demonstrated the highs and lows that the show is capable of. What a roller coaster ride! The minority executive training program stuff with Kelly and Dwight and Darryl was super funny and grounded in the awkward reality of actual work experience, which is one of the main reasons that this show became popular in the first place. Who hasn’t had an awkward experience in an office, RIGHT YOU GUYS?! But on the other hand, there was all the stuff about Michael flirting with the bar manager, and it’s just like, well, no. I mean, no. Michael is a dufus with zero self-awareness, but now he’s a face-rapist? Who calls women he doesn’t know prostitutes? In the middle of the day? At work? That’s just not a thing that would happen in a place of business (that was still being filmed for a documentary, 178 years later) even with the biggest coconut for a boss. “But Gabe, it’s not an actual documentary. It’s a comedy show, so things are exaggerated for laughs.” Exaggerate THIS.
And also the other shows!

Well, we now have an end date. The Sorrow and the Pity-length documentary is forthcoming, no doubt.
“Gazoinskbo!”
Community was not good last night, you guys. And I hate to say it because no one is a bigger Community-ist than I am.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
It was not as good as last week’s but I like that they still had some character development
This is what I pictured Winwwod doing while watching community:
Nice seeing you on chat last night winwood.:)
What are you talking about? I don’t do the chat thing. Was someone impersonating me?
perhaps it was your girlfriend, tatyana?
What now I feel duped. Now my autographed winwood poster is worthless!
Hey Winwood:
“was someone impersonating me? DUHHH!!”
It was me. But everyone wanted to believe it was you. I feel like a Kick-Ass impersonator.
(a-DUUUUHHHHHHH)
“I gave up on Community on the first episode”… a duuuuuuuh
I agree I don’t get that show. “I’ll give it a whirl” -Macaulay Culkin Home Alone I But …didn’t like it.
My friends started getting mad at me, because I persisted we watch the entire episode, even though none of us were really laughing! It made me sad.
But as long as they don’t change Abed, I’ll continue to watch it.
I’m going to have to strongly disagree, Community provided pretty much non-stop laffs last night. Definitely my favorite of the night.
PANTY RAID!!!!!
I don’t want to be the pot calling the kettle a… kettle… but I agree. This episode was awesome.
Agreed. i loved Community last night. I thought it was HILARIOUS! but i disliked last weeks so maybe this one was just better?
Also: there were high schoolers in a couple of my college (a for real university) classes and they were seriously assholes who thought they were so much better and so adult (or more likely putting up a front to fit in).
Smug Girl Voice: “I don’t know how I’ll have time to work on this group project what with being co-chair of the prom committee and concert band going to state and being a winner at everything. Did you know that when I actually go to college next year (out of state of course), I’ll technically be a sophomore with all the credits I’ve already earned? Star for me!”
The thing that killed it for me last night were the high school kids. I get that they were supposed to be obnoxious and grating, but when you write a role for someone who is annoying to the main character, they should be funny to the audience. It actually made me like the whole show less.
2 things redeemed it though, the ending credits (80′s teen-romp style), and the preview for next week’s paintball episode.
I agree, those schmittys ruined Community last night. I’ll give the writers a little cred and say that may have been their intention but annoying is still annoying.
That being said, I laughed a lot more at Community then The Office and 30 Rock combined (maybe if there wasn’t 5 commercials for 30 Rock during the night giving away Will Forte’s secret things would have been different). But all three were trumped by a single scene in Parks involving April’s sister.
April’s sister actually killed me. I’m dead now from laughing so hard.
Good point on the high school kids – they were just annoying and not funny – but i thought the rest of the episode had some good moments.
Annie: “You said I had a crafty Jew brain”
Pierce: “Nobody knows how to take a compliment anymore!”
I just about died when Pierce sat down next to the wrong black woman.
Always Be Chevy Chasin’
I loved loved loved Joel McHale’s resigned little “Yep” when he was doing it, too!
“Community was not good last night, you guys. And I hate to say it because no one is a bigger Community-ist than I am. A-DUHHH”
I loved the episode. The goat! Britta being actually funny!
You guys are killing me over here!
Watching the highschool kids on ‘Community’ made me feel old for the first time, at the ripe age of 23. Nothing could have made me feel older… unless I had actually decided to sit through another episde of ‘The Office.’ Just sayin’.
Just sayin’ ahhhhDUHHHH!
Speaking of Britta she apparently goes to the mall on the weekend? What does she do there tell Banana Republic not to sell leather?
If we ARE looking for a scape-goat………
I hate any episode of any show that prominently features children. But I loved that they may finally have figured out what to do with Britta. So, equilibrium.
spoken like a true grandma schlipschlap.
And it had a stellar Entourage diss!
“You’re the new Cliff Clavin, the new George Costanza, the new Turtle, the new Johnny Drama, the new E – man…that show is sloppy.”
Did you see the preview for next weeks? Holy crap it looks amazing.
Can we all talk about how Andy Dwyer, I mean Burt Macklin, is the best
If we were friends back then I’d be hanging out with a baby, I don’t know anything about infant care, god I could have hurt her
what’s our team name? are we the lightning?
You don’t work for me, and I never will sir good day
also Will Forte makes a good looking woman, I mean that Cerie huh, what a cutie
Didn’t Steve Carell say he was considering leaving the show when his contract is up? Is it possible to make that contract end today?
“When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had adsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.” I’m going to be so sad when this show is over, Dwight has some of my favorite quotes of all time.
I heard a rumor that Steve Carrell might leave the show after another season and I was so sad. Until I considered the idea of Boss Darrell, Boss Mindy, and Boss “guy who is really a heart surgeon,” which got me squealing like a little girl.
Also, my favorite moment of the night was Jon Hamm’s Mercedes-Benz commercial. Ladies,
The kids on Community were super annoying, as they were obviously meant to be. But jeez. Such Schmitties! I loved both the call backs to Abed’s eyebrow wiggle and Troy’s “pretend like you asleep!”
But really, Parks and Rec killed it. MAN, I missed that show!
“Councillor…. ISAWYOURPENIS!”
“Bye… Zuzu.”
“Bye. Duke Silver.”
I am going to get married on Marctember Oneteenth at 2:65 p.m. You’re all invited.

Is this website kidding me???
“Hi-Ho, Duke!, 2009
Duke really comes into his own on this release. It has everything you’ve come to expect from the music of Duke Silver: the frenetic energy, the sexual tension, the saxophone. Never before has such a vast array of emotion come from just two 30-minute tracks of pure jazz.”
“Just pretend like you asleep” is so important to me.
So happy Parks and Rec was back … the moment where Ron Swanson was leaving April’s house and then shuts the door again and shoots her a look when she calls him Duke Silver was classic. (that was a .gif I made with words since I don’t know how to make them for reals)
30 Rock needed more of this guy:
I think I was hormonal last night because I was REALLY hoping Community would end with those high school kids and their mom getting their asses STOMPED. The woman altering the historic mansion on Parks & Rec also really pissed me off, probably more than it should have.
No, I felt the same way.The high school kids nearly made me nauseous. I found myself thinking incredibly unkind things about the female one with the weird fetus eyes and mint-green leggings (?!).
I actually said halfway through the episode that it had to end with their dying horribly. I barely got through the episode(although everything that wasn’t them was great).
I hate to be an Ofiice apologist. But I enjoyed Pam’s little comedy routine she invisioned in her mind for her and Jim.
i thought this was one of the better episodes of the office in a while. but i was kind of disappointed with everything else on NBC around it.
“You ever notice you can only ooze two things: sexuality and puss? Man, I tell ya.”
Creed – the best, creepiest part of The Office.
I actually laughed the most during The Office last night, but that’s probably because I’m a sucker for some good ole fashion sexual harassment. And yeah, those kids on Community practically sucked all the fun out of the episode (and it needed more Annie!), but whatever, I must get back to work building my own Boob-O-Tron.
Hell’s Bells!
I need to know what this is from right now. It’s very important.
It’s called Hot Sluts and you can find it at atom.com. It’s just two websites down from restorestephenbaldwin.org
Did anyone notice how weird that high school girl’s eyes were on Community? Who is that? She was the strangest looking actress I’ve ever seen. Those eyes haunted me in my sleep….
Somebody’s got a new screenplay . . .
OK I basically just started watching the Office – but that prostitute line seemed PERFECTLY in-character. Gabe what show have you been watching?
Also…like…how can you watch the Office and say the words “Who__________? In the middle of the day? At work?”
I realize that particular joke was way out there – I sat up and took notice! But…that man is just an unreal monstrosity! Everything out of his mouth is just like that! Just like that.
Someone more familiar with earlier seasons please tell me that I’m wrong and the show used to be infinitely more subtle and nuanced?
I’ve waited a few weeks to say this… cause I just wanted to make sure before I went runnin’ my mouth (keyboard)… but is 30 Rock falling flat for anyone else this season? Especially Tracy… his lines seem so lame all the sudden… like the guy at work who tries too hard to make being “the funny guy” his thing and then when you don’t laugh he decides that trying too hard is ALSO his thing in addition to being “the funny guy.” He wins either way. Ugh. It’s like nobody is going back through the script to “punch things up.” Sad.
Hi my name is Feyonce, and Gabe is my fiance.;)
Also, I’m turning 26 in a month so I feel like I need to keep up with trends. “Schmitty” WAS made up for this episode, right? Because Urban Dictionary just makes “schmitty” sound like a positive thing, or at worst someone who drinks a little too much alcohol or something.
I guess it should be obvious but then they also used “powned,” which is sadly an actual term as proven by Kevin Smith’s sexual Tweets, I got confused.
I Googled it and only found this: http://www.aschmittylife.com/
Schmitty WAS made up for this episode, A DUUHHHH.
That was painful to even type. But the Animal-House-style ending was worth it all.
Actually, it’s spelled “pwned”.
I hate myself.
No, I hate myself. I knew that, I swear. Way to be 26, grandma.
So, naively I thought because Will Forte was on 30Rock ALREADY (“‘E KANT METABOLIZE DA GRAYPES!”) that he would never be on 30Rock again. Now that he is Jenna’s love interest does that mean he will be back? I’d rather see more of Argus. But i’ve never been a Forte Fan. Sorry McGruber.
maybe it’s like how Rachel Dratch was in like 6 of the first 7 episodes, or whatever (cat wrangler, ‘blue dude’ in tracy’s hallucinations, jack’s prostitute)…remember that? i wouldn’t mind a string of will fortes.
I’d rather have more Rachel Dratch than Will Forte. Here is my protest poster: FORGET FORTE! BRING BACK DRATCH!
