  • Way more to talk about in this one than I originally intended!
    #TheOffice is one of the greatest shows of the 2000s! I’m reviewing every episode with some background, trivia, the deeper meaning, and more. Today, we're looking at the #Customer #Survey episode.
    Thanks to our NBC overlords for their creation and ownership of the Office. The clips used here are for reviewing and education.

    The William Buttlicker scene is iconic, one of my favorites. But it's a different scene from this episode that might be my favorite line in the entire series.
    "Well, Dunder Mifflin would have to be a front for money laundering, and there's little evidence of that..."
    "...is there SOME evidence?"

    I remember that for a long time there was a suggestion that they'd try to get Carol Burnett to be Michael's mom. The generational gap might be too great, and of course they didn't want famous people, but it does seem like it would be perfect. I do wonder, if Steve had stayed on the show, would we have ever met his parents?

  • @heavymetalweatherman7774

    So I will say that I have watched the full series before watching your videos, but I did wait for far longer than I should have before watching the final season in full. I own seasons 1-8 on DVD but never bought the last season. It wasn’t until it was streaming that I watched it in full and that was startlingly recent. My reasoning? The show got a bit weird after Steve Carrell left and I found myself caring less and less for the characters, even though I really loved the show in its heyday. I finished it more or less to get through it than out of legitimate excitement.

    The Buttlicker scene is one of the best sitcom scenes ever made. Also, it was unprecedented in the art form of TV sitcomedy. The rest of the episode is strong throughout with many gem moments and an unforced poignancy. It sublimely combines the relatable and the believably ridiculous. 5/5. The world is a bland place without it.

      @TheRepublicOfJohn 3 роки тому

      It's not censorship. It's a balancing act between copyright and fair-use, and actually UA-cam uses a clever Content ID system to sidestep a much more restrictive alternative in which online content creators would get sued to death, or even worse, youtube not hosting any unapproved content out of fear of being held legally and financially responsible for uploading copyrighted material. There's a great Tom Scott video about it.

    • @micahbush5397
      @micahbush5397 3 роки тому

      There was originally a lot more to the storyline of Pam's time in New York, and I believe that in that extended narrative, it was more evident that Alex had a crush on Pam. Even after that was cut, the scene with Alex was supposed to include a profession of love for Pam, but John and Jenna both felt that the addition of that drama felt too artificial (Stephen Merchant agreed with them), so this alternate version was used instead.
      Regardless, I think it's pretty evident that Alex is supposed to have feelings for Pam. Men who are "just friends" don't seek out a woman at her place of work in the middle of the day to talk about her future.

And that Alex guy in NY, he somehow reminds me of a Season 1 Roy, look wise I mean. The difference is Roy kept Pam away from her dreams, this guy is trying to help her keep them alive.
