You better watch it man. You're gonna get a DMCA strike for that Office theme remix. Can't even tell the difference between that and the original!!! That pizza looked craaaaaazy though. And I laughed super hard at your picture choice from the store hahahah!! Might have to go back and rewatch somehow. Looked like a lot of fun!!
Hahaha yea my vocals were pretty spot on!! 😂 that was just me being a dork. Yea honestly that pizza was SO good! I couldn’t believe it! Yea it’s a very small part of the show and just one of the cold opens so very small in the grand scheme of things but it was funny. You could prob just find the scene by typing into UA-cam “Asian Jim”. Yea it was really cool to be there with it being my favorite show ever :)
I loved The Office and watched every episode when they first aired. A few years after the series sadly ended, I was writing comedy for a lot of local fundraising events in LA. One of those fundraisers was a private concert of local talent. In LA, local talent are mostly famous actors. The day after the event, a messenger showed up at my day job with a large envelope. It was a card with a handwritten note “Thank you for a great show!” signed, Leslie David Baker (Stanley Hudson of The Office) along with a $10,000 donation. I’ll never forget that day.
Oh wow that’s so awesome!!! What a day to remember for sure! You write comedy Ned? That’s pretty rad! I tried stand up one time, and one time only at the comedy underground in Seattle. Really hard to write it I feel!
@@JoshyByNature Wow, I think stand up is one of the scariest things any performer could do. I've written for some TV comedians, but I write in their voice, not mine. So that's easy for me. But performing??? Yikes, queue the flop sweat! Hats off to you!
@@NedMercado oh I basically bombed so hard and was such a nervous wreck that it made the crowd laugh at least. At one point I turned around and faced the brick wall and said my jokes and that got a good laugh 😆
@@JoshyByNature Every comic bombs but the good ones can still get a laugh. The fact that you turned around to tell your jokes to a wall...genius! That's a move a pro would make. Excellent save!
im from the area, so a few things to note 1. Alfredo's pizza is not a place we all champion around as "the best" I assume that was just a favorite of one of the screenwriters, not bad though! (don't tell anyone but Colarusso's Café is the best lol) 2. we don't particularly get annoyed when people visit here to see locations from their favorite show, and if anything its a great thing! Its more annoying that whenever we mention the name of our city, the answer is ALWAYS "oh like from the office?" or "I thought that place was fictional!" 3. contrary to popular belief, most people that live here don't care about/have never watched the office, not that we hate it! its just not considered our magnum opus, which makes sense considering its a working class blue collar city after all. 4. I get the frustration about the street parking, it can be annoying but the city is completely car dependent so the spots tend to fill up fairly fast especially during the workday. 5. The steamtown mall has deteriorated over the past decade due to the prevalence of online shopping, and a few other reasons. the Viewmont mall a few minutes away in Dickson city is where everyone goes if they want the "shopping mall" experience. To wrap it all up ill say this, Scranton was chosen as the city for the office because of how underwhelming it is. it plays into the whole rudimentary style of the show. a story about normal people living normal lives in a underwhelmingly normal city, so even if you might have been a bit disappointed with the experience, just know you got a realistic taste of what us scrantonians experience on the daily, boredom and monotony.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and write all of that!! Hope it didn’t seem like I was hating on it!! I loved my day there! (Other than poor Richard’s) but that wasn’t their fault, just mine for having all these hopes for the office tour. I get that, about the mall as I’m sure it’s like that at most malls now.. first mall I’ve really been to in years. Again, thank you for taking the time to fill me in on it all and I did like the town itself and thought it has beautiful surroundings to boot!
