Triple Feature

I'll start off today's blog with an announcement. The Office Blog subscriber count has officially entered single digits! Hold your applause please. Because this is such a momentous occasion i will be highlighting a triple feature of episodes today. My busy life and a lack of posts may have something to do with today's need for a triple feature, but the main reason is to celebrate.

We'll start with the opening scene of 504 when Michael is practicing child delivery by delivering Dwight's watermelon baby. The image of Dwight on the desk squeezing a watermelon out from under his shirt is hilarious. When the watermelon finally pops out it slips right through Michael's hands. When Dwight told him that he rubbed butter all over the watermelon for realism and I couldn't contain myself. Dwight tops it off by saying "Quick mark the baby with a mark that only you could produce and that no baby snatcher could ever copy."

Episode 505 hosted the king of all awkward moments between Michael and Holly. When they were talking about what they were going to do for their third date Michael says "well some of that depends on whether or not we're having sex after...wow elephant in the room... well are we going to have sex tonight?" This was one of those moments when you just cringe with awkwardness. Holly proves that she is just as geeky as him by replying "hell yeah."

Another good moment from 505 is when they are holding the auction to raise money for the branch. During the auction Michael hits his auction hammer and it makes a little squeak noise like a toy. He says "what the hell was that" then Phyllis replies saying "That was the only gavel I could find." Michael just continues on by muttering "it squeaks when you bang it thatswhatshesaid. LETS HEAR IT FOR ME SOLD!"

The highlight from 506 would have to be the beginning sequence when everyone is dressed up in their Halloween costumes. Creed walks in looking frighteningly similar to the Joker and Kevin stands up with a much crappier costume saying "Dangit! I've been up since 4 getting ready." Dwight then enters with another Joker costume to top it off.

See ya next week.
