Subtle Sexuality

The Office's band Subtle Sexuality is going big. They're actually going on a "world tour". Meaning so far, High Schools around Pennsylvania and New York. They're single "Male Pre-Madonna" is actually ranking up higher and higher on iTunes. I just don't know what to say about this. This whole band is a joke, but they look like a threat to some artists who actually have talent. Don't get me wrong, I love them, it's hilarious, but concerts etc. I think they're taking this a bit too far, and plus I bet they don't actually sing since the song is all robotically done. Anyways, congratulations, but just don't embarrass yourselves guys.

Secret Santa

Secret Santa brought the holiday spirit back. The Show starts of with Erin being horrified by her "Secret Santa" gifts. Andy is literally giving Erin the full Twelve Days of Christmas presents taken from the carol. Dwight also has a Secret Santa, but instead he just receives pieces of his present one by one. At first he thinks that it's a gun, even though he glued and taped some parts together. In the end, it's a hand nut cracker, and Dwight soon realizes all the magical wonders that he can do with this artifact. Oscar Martinez, being gay, has a crush on the new warehouse guy. However, he doesn't have the courage to talk to him. So instead, Pam introduces them to each other. The conversation goes swell, however he messes up his name when the say good bye, but he tells Pam that he knows what he's doing, and that he's got it under control.

The main plot of the episode is that Phyllis was allowed to be santa of the office by Jim. However, Mike storms in in a santa costume, and is clearly furious. He complains of how could you let a women be santa claus and so on. He gets so furious that he dresses up as Jesus and comments on everyone's gifts. On the flipside, we find out that Dundermifflin will be safe under the companies bankruptcy. Just the lead executors, and the main bosses are fired, which means new spots are open for next years cast. There's only one more episode left of the season, so please tune in Thursday 8:00 P.M.

Dwight's Blog

Dwight's blog is one of the most funniest blogs that I have read. It's so true to his character, and it talks about the rumors, and other funny jokes about the cast. He doesn't really use their full name, but he uses a nickname that'll make it obvious towards who the joke is on. He has a total of seven posts, out of all of them, "befriend the enemy" without a doubt is the funniest. It basically talks bout how much he hates Jim and his masterous plans to punish him. How he wants to become best friends with Jim, and then back-stab him when least expected. I strongly recommend people out there start to read it because after all he's doing it for us. And we get a good outsiders look at what Dwight thinks behind the cameras.

Scott's Tots

On this weeks episode, Michael had made a promise to high school students about 10 years ago. If they are to graduate, he will pay full tuition for their colleges. However, he thought that by the time that time actually came, he'd be a millionaire. For this celebration, the High Schoolers threw a huge awards ceremony basically for him. The dance team. quire, they even let individuals go up to a podium and say how much they love Michael Scott. He broke all the kids hearts by telling them he won't be able to pay for their tuition, and instead gave them laptop batteries. Obviously Michael felt like crap, but Erin stated a true fact that if it wasn't for him telling them they'd have a free ride to college, they probably would've dropped out of High School, and not cared.

Back at the office, Andy gives Jim an idea to start an employee of the month. And so the race begins. Everyone is labeled as a number so that no one will favor another. When it is time to announce the winner, Jim picks the person with the most tallies, and it ends up to be him. Obviously everyone thinks that he cheated. Then Jim says this is obviously a mistake and picks the second highest number being Pam, his wife. Now this even causes more trouble. To top it off a man with a cake walks into the door as this is being said with the face of Pam painted on it and "only for you" written on it. Later we find out that this was just another one of Dwight's plans to get Jim demoted from the Co-Manager position.

Male Prima Donna is a Hit!

Male Prima Donna went up onto iTunes. As i said before, the song has a very catchy vibe to it. Out of its first 256 ratings, it has received five stars. Some claim that its the funniest song that you can buy on itunes, others say that after all it mainstream like Lady Gaga, and prefer it over that junk. I find it absolutely hilarious. If they keep on coming out with songs like this then who knows what'll happen. Maybe number one album on iTunes? Or a top song of the year? I just never thought it'd actually sell tracks on iTunes and make money off it. Just goes to show you that a little webisode can turn into a national hit.

Ryan's Photo Blog

Ryan's photo blog is a good way to remember that these actors and actresses are actual people off the set. Here Ryan shows off his photography skills. I was very impressed with the imagery. I think he could've done more then just black and white, but it allows us to see his creative side. I can really connect with the "Upon Further Reflection" image. He leaves us a question, whether the photo is out of focus? I believe it is a double meaning. He couldn't choose whether to focus into the picture or not. He was too busy looking at the surface of the picture, rather than the deeper meaning. Like we do today in society, judge a book by its cover. In conclusion, I believe the picture is not focused in.

Is This the Last Season?

Many people believe that the directors of "The Office" are foreshadowing their last season of the office. However there are others, like me, that believe that this is just s general plot for the season. Lets face the facts, the office's viewers population has been growing numerously every year. They're at the high peek of success right now. I think the directors are striving for more. They're hungry. They're putting this into people's minds that this is the last season so that more people will watch the episodes. The numbers realistically just aren't there for me. I just don't see why they have to scare, and depress their die-hard fans.

Shareholder Meeting

On this week's episode recyclops returns. A robot (ran by Dwight) here to save the Earth from us humans. Today, is a big day for Michael. He's going to what he thinks is an honor show for him because of the great achievements that he's earned at his company. He has no idea how he'll great the head of all the paper companies when his name is announced. Should he twirl? Maybe fire out a snap from his hands like our ingenious Nolly does? Anyways, the whole office is amazed when they see that Michael gets a limo for his route to the board. Everyones jealous and in shock, except for Oscar. He points out the fact that they're in debt and they're wasting their money on transportation by buying a limo. Everyone begs for Michael to allow them to come with them for the ride. Mike chooses Andy, Dwight, and Oscar. When they arrive at the meeting, Michael is startled because of the fact that everyone boo's at the managers. So to get them happy, he tells them that they have a 45 day plan that will assure the company and their workers that the business will run strong. One problem, there is no plan. The managers take a break and scold Michael for what he did. He has no idea what to say, panics and runs out the door. Back at the office, Jim is running the company. No one thinks he has the same power as Michael does. So he teaches everyone a lesson by putting Ryan's office in a closet room. Tune in to next weeks Thanksgiving special at 8:00 P.M. November 26th.

Murder

During this week's episode, The Wall Street Journal said Dunder Mifflin may have a high possibility that they'll go bankrupt within a year. This got everyone questioning their future and whether they'll have jobs. Michael and Jim pull everyone to on of their very productive meetings assuring everyone that everything will be fine. Michael's resolution to this is by playing "Belles, Bourbon, and Bullets." Surprisingly it works. Everyone goes a long with the and plays their character from the card that they received. Andy tries to make a move on Erin, but miserably fails because when he has asked her out on a date, he wasn't sure whether she was playing her character, or being Erin. So later, when Erin asks about the date Andy replies that he was just playing his character, when he actually has feelings for her, and messes up his chances severely. Jim is obviously disappointed in Michael for getting everyone to play, and not work, but later realizes that what Michael is doing is more necessary then work. Michael got their heads off the possibility of losing their jobs, he brought them happiness through the game, and so Jim decides to join in. On a serious matter, does this mean that the Office is coming to a last season? I really hope not. after doing some reasearch, it is too early too tell. all we know is that there will be three more episodes left on this season, and hopefully not the last.

Michael Gary Scott , Jim Halpert, and Dwight Kurt Schrute

Michael Scott (who is acted by Steve Carell ) is co-manager of the Scranton branch of paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin. The other co-manager of the company is Jim Halpert (acted by John Krasinski) who is actually a paper salesman. Last but not least, Dwight ( acted by Rainn Wilson) is yet another paper salesman. These three characters make the office, "The Office." Michael's offensive jokes, and his necessity to always make friends, which always back fires onto him. Jim's seriousness, which always causes a conflict between his and Mike's view points. And of course Dwight's gullibleness which always causes him to go do something out of his way from the work field. However, he's a very tough, and skilled worker who believes he should be co-manager with Michael instead of Jim, which always spurs up some good battles in the show. All these characters sarcasm to each other always ends up being a competition. They all strive to be better then the other regardless of the task, someone has to be the best.

Double Date

This Thursday's Episode was a great bounce back from last week's disappointment. I believe that many others agree with me. Michael with Pam's Mom goes on a double date with Pam and Jim to celebrate her birthday. During the date, he realizes that Pam's Mom is a good 15 years older then him and that "growing old with her" maybe won't come true because she's already old. He actually breaks up with her at the dinner table, just as Pam started to accept Michael being her Mom's boyfriend. Meanwhile, back at the Office Dwight feels very loving and decides to buy everyone breakfast. After he gives them their treat he says "you owe me". This is actually another one of his master plans to get Jim demoted, because he believes he should be co-manager of the company. However, Andy doesn't fall for this. Instead he decides to do the same and do generous deeds for Dwight, without Dwight asking for any help. This turns into a huge battle of kindness between the two to show who's more generous. The episode was very funny, and well planned. You may watch this weeks episode, or any episodes from this, or previous seasons on NBC.com. Tune in this Thursday for a new Office!

Coy Pond

Critics after this week's episode are giving it a 7.5 out of 10. I, myself, am fairly dissappointed. Compared to last year's Halloween special, this was a joke. There were some good laughs, but Halloween was only in the beginning 5 minutes of the episode. They could've taken off a lot of the focus off of the koi pond, and put more focus into Halloween. I disagree with the critics on that website who say that it was funny. They obviously don't know what The Office is capable of. Besides that it was funny.

Michael falls into a koi pond during a sales visit. Everyone mocks Michael for falling in, and he feels the need to fix this. This brings up a meeting with a "no mockery list." Pam (now a saleslady) and Andy go on buisness trips to try and get some new customers for the company. During these trips people constantly confuse them as a couple. This leads to both of them being offended and they get no work done. In the end it turns out that Jim actually pushed Michael into the pond. However Jim says he did it out of jealousy, and this makes Michael not care.

Subtle Sexuality: Pre Madonna

This weeks webcast episode of The Office had me laughing pretty hard. Kelly and Erin make their own pop group "Subtle Sexuality". The Director of the music video is Kevin while Andy and Ryan ( Pre Madonna O.G.) shows off their great rapping skills. The song actually has a catchy techno-type sound. I can definitely see myself listening to this song in the car, cruising on the highway. EVERYONE GO WATCH IT!!!

Ratings

Over the past couple of years "The Office" has become one of the funniest, most popular, TV Series in America. Created in the year 2005 by Greg Daniels, Ricky Gervais Stephen Merchant, and more, The Office is based off a paper company (Dunder Mifflin) in Pennsylvania. It's your typical working environment, however the crew is very unique. They never get work done, all they do is chat, make fun of each other, anything but work. I became a follower of the show in 2007. As you see the ratings for the Office in 2007-2008 were average( 5-7 out of 10). During the 2008-2009 term they jumped up 14% year-over-year. Now in the 2009 season several websites are giving it 9-10 out of 10. The show is now funnier, and more popular then ever. The only bad things that I've read about The Office is people from the UK ( for some reason), and its previous seasons. If you want to have a funny Thursday night, or have nothing better to do, tune in to The Office at 8:00 P.M. every Thursday, on NBC.
