The Office: Ryan's Cray-zy Kelly Impression
Last's night's episode of The Office was written by the great Mindy Kaling, which explains all the extended makeout scenes with B.J. Novak, jk! But seriously, so many people write TV show episodes that it's not often that you can actually notice little touches by a credited writer. In this episode, though, there were at least two instances where Mindy Kaling's voice (or, more specifically, her character Kelly Kapor's) came through -- in two scenes where Ryan is either deliberately or accidentally picking up Kelly's singular way of speaking. It was amaaazing to notice. Video evildence (and an Office boom mic goof) after the jump.
I'm including the entire scenes because they're funny on their own, but notice how Ryan says "crazy" in this scene:
And in this one, spoiler alert, Ryan and Kelly break up, but he eases the blow with one of her catchphrases ("amaazing"):
And what is this thing that fell in and out of frame during the latest "Jim and Pam are going to be great from now on and everything is settled and we don't even need to see their characters again for six months, when they have a baby" scene? It could be something hanging from the garage ceiling, except that this is a TV show:
I can't wait to send this goof in to IMDB.

can that be considered NOT a goof since they reference the camera crew at times?
Score = 2
TRUE!!! It's a goof-proof show!
Score = 1
Plus, isn't the boom mic typically hanging right over the camera? It's clearly a few feet past Jim's head
Score = 0
New theory: the crew guy ruined the shot on purpose because he's in love with Pam.
Score = 1
wow your smart! thats why they have been talking about the camera guys so much this season. maybe he will object at their wedding
Score = 0
If Kelly's unique catch-phrases are "it's crazy" and "that would be amazing," she needs to get some new catch-phrases. Pedestrian.
Score = -1
Ok, so I've been meaning to ask:
I have found myself saying "cramazing." Cribbed from this site. I don't know what it means, I just sort of toss it out there when I can.
"Kruh-maize-ing"
So, I'm thinking it means "crazy amazing?" That should be Kelly's catchphrase. And then I can tell my non-Videogum reading Office watching friends that I secretly write for the show.
Score = 1
It's the garage door uvula. The things you tie your rope & tennis ball to, you know?
Score = 0
it's the way she says them, the tone of voice that he is imitating. It's real, Gabe.
Score = 1
