Tonight’s episode of The Office was a sort of cringe-inducing study in awkwardness; there was the disconnect between Pam and Jim, not to mention the disconnect between Michael and, well, everybody. Plus, it was pretty much the most bizarre Office opening ever, so I think I was thrown off a little bit from the get-go.
Even still, there were some moments:
1. “This baby is related to Michael through delusion.”
3. The bowl of M&Ms for ASTIRD
4. Jan and the “lullabies”
5. Dwight and the stroller
6. The baby in the cornucopia, oh my word.
7. The hug between Michael and Holly, which was oddly touching in a I-shouldn’t-be-seeing-this sort of way.
What did y’all think? Like? No like? Happy just to see our Dunder-Mifflin friends?

Loved the episode. However, the watermelon cracking open when it hit the floor was a bit, shall I say, an “oh my” moment for me.
–Mark the baby with a sharpie, too funny.
–Dwight dragging that stroller behing his Trans Am. I was ROFL!!!!
–Jim and Pam’s messages to each other.
–Michael asking Holly out.
–Stanley needing to be close to a hospital.
Michael considering Jan’s “bloated feelings” – that cracked me up!
ps I caught the 529 funding shot too – cruel Jan!
Not my favorite but I was glad Pam and Jim connected through disconnection at the end!
The only part that I couldn’t comprehend was Jan singing “Son of a Preacher Man” during the shower. I still don’t get it. The rest of the show, however, I loved.
Loved the fact that the red haired baby that Michael was holding in one of the shots is William Xavier, Regis Philbin’s grandson.
Wonder if one of the babies that loved Michael is “Angela’s” child?
I really loved the staff baby pictures, and would love to see them all. Creed looked the same.
I loved the picture taking among the veggies and it was more funny because when my son was newborn I took a picture, flash and all, right in his face then became the momma bear protecting him from anyone else doing it. Not that it mattered after I damaged his retina:)
I have never seen the American version of The Office before last night. We turned it on at 8:14 and watched half of an episode, and let me just say – if you’ve never seen it before – watching 1/2 of an episode can lead to the most confused 15 minutes of your life.
I actually blogged more in depth about my confusion this morning, but I’ll just say that I am QUITE out of the loop. (sigh)
Dwight’s testing of Jan’s $1200 stroller was hilarious!!!
Sophie,
I had to write to tell you that I’m finally understanding the love for “The Office”. I checked out Season One from the library and my lands, I laughed like no one should be allowed to laugh.
Just thought that I would share that you made a convert, all due to your posts about a show I never saw. Thank you for opening a whole new world to me.

“Babies are one of my many areas of expertise. Growing up I performed my own circumcision.”
Now how often do you hear something like that?
I always love the Office! There are so many hilarious lines and scenes. Though Creed always freaks me out. Didn’t get why Jan sat there and sang for everyone like it was her own karaoke party. I mean, I know you go a little batty after having a baby (I know, mine is only 3 months old), but I didn’t go that crazy. And the ending message between Jim and Pam made the universe right again. So much emotion in one show … amazing!
Hubby & I were pretty busy this weekend with a big retreat at camp, so we just finally got caught up with the Office tonight- but, oh, didn’t your heart just break for Michael just a little bit when Jan came in with the baby???
I get just a little too wrapped up in books & tv shows & it’s hard to remember that they’re not real people! :)
