The Office - Page 2

This season of The Office is really pissing me off with its inconsistency. Each episode is so hit and miss. They're either really ****ing good (like entire series stand out episodes) or so bad I have to turn it off. Thankfully the last couple episodes were great, hope they keep it up for the rest of the season. Really not looking forward to the Will Ferrel episodes, though. I can't stand him and his "humor".

Will Ferrel is guest starring ?

I had no idea.

&& yah i know what you mean. the last few episodes have been great though , ever since classy christmas.

yYeah he's doing 4 episodes..as another branch manager, to ease the exit of Carell

deadpoolRKO · 02-05-2011, 09:57 AM

hm.

intersting.

I don't mind Ferrell , but he gets old quick.

Sword Slicin' Leo · 02-05-2011, 10:01 AM

yeah he's kinda like Jim carrey, either i hate his movie like(land of the lost) or LOVE it (like Anchorman or Step Brothers)

i watched the episode " Threat Level Midnight" yesterday online.

lmao.

it was fantastic

deadpoolRKO · 03-05-2011, 05:56 AM

Yesterday was Steve Carrell's last day :/

Rainn Wilson tweeted this

" Steve Carrell's last day on " the office " , and the angels of comedy wept. #saddestdayever "

Well now that Steve Carrell is gone , i have to admit the transition from him to Will Ferrell and now to whoever they bring in , was very well done.

Will Ferrell did a nice job and his " mid west " character was great.

Spoiler:

So I'm watching through the show for the first time and am on early Season 3. I had already seen tons of clips of The Office over the years so I pretty much already know most of what happens in the show, but it was just various clips of funny scenes in various episodes. I never actually sat down to watch it properly.

I know the show gets worse as it goes on especially after Steve Carrell leaves, but for now I'm having a fun time. There was not a single bad episode yet, and a lot of the eps are genuinely funny. Of course Steve Carrel and Dwight pretty much carry the show along with Pam, I'm kinda disappointed all the side characters don't really get much focus to themselves though. I thought each character would get their own episodes, but so far it's just really Michael, Dwight, Pam and Jim who get all the episodes. Does it stay like this the whole run or do the others get more focus eps than just a few lines per ep?

Season 3 is where the show begins to hit it's peak.

*CyberCubed* · 01-18-2021, 11:16 PM

Michael Scott and especially Dwight feel like cartoon characters in live-action. Almost reminds me of things you see on The Simpsons. A lot of the other characters feel close to "real" people, even though of course some stuff is exaggerated for humor. Kevin being another exception.

The other characters do get more focus over time, especially after Steve's departure, but plenty before then, too. Still not as much as you would hope, though. Stanley & Creed are probably my favorite of the background gang & they get probably the least time to shine, unfortunately.

*CyberCubed* · 02-03-2021, 07:16 PM

Watched, "Goodbye, Michael Scott" today, the Season 7 ep he leaves. Was a great episode as I expected, although I wish Will Ferrel wasn't in these episodes.

The show is still consistently pretty good, although Season 7 wasn't as consistently funny as the first six. You can tell the show felt like it was winding down at this point (and this season probably should have been the last), but I'm interested to see how things go. I know the last two seasons are considered the weakest/worst seasons, but I'm sure there's still some good eps and moments to power through them.

Also watched the Webisodes, I'll save the deleted scenes till I finish the show. Overall I'm enjoying it, which is why I got through 7 seasons in less than a month. I'll probably be done in the next two weeks or so.

Absolutely. Those two are amazing. Love me some Stanley.

**Jester** · 02-03-2021, 07:43 PM

Me too. I was super excited when I heard they were trying to crowdfund a Stanley spin-off.

*CyberCubed* · 02-03-2021, 10:22 PM

Watched the first ep of Season 8, pretty good first ep. This show seems to cycle through bosses/CEO's/CFO's rather fast though...

First there was Jan along with David Wallace, both of them got fired, then Idris Elba, then Jim was co-manager for a little bit, then Holly seemingly acted like a manager despite being HR, then Jo the fat woman from Florida with the two dogs, then Will Ferrel's character, and now this new Spader guy with gray hair. How many bosses do they go through in this show?

Also wtf is Gabe doing back. I thought he went back to Florida in the Season 7 finale. I still don't really care for him much so I'm kinda bummed he's back with the main cast. I also love that Andy became such a huge part of the show, kinda ironic because when he had that temper in Season 3 I didn't like him at all...but he turned out to be one of the best characters as the show went on.
