Did you guys hear the great news? Steve Carell announced yesterday he doesn’t think he’ll be coming back after his contract runs out next year. If that occurs that means either the show will end only a few years after its prime instead of slowly getting worse and worse, or keep going without the most annoying character on the show. I am a fan of either scenario. But anyways, we experience life in a linear fashion and our consciousness insists on sticking in the present, so lets focus on the episode tonight.
In the cold open Michael insists on the entire office speaking Spanish because he’s going to Cancun next week. Oh boy Arizona is going to hate this! He unfortunately says all of the words in the masculine form, and it ends up with Angela getting a vagina post-it note on her forehead. Since this was becoming too similar to the classic “Diversity Day”, it was never brought up again.
Jim and Pam are working for the first time as a power couple sales team trying to get the chick from the Dave and Busters knock-off store to buy some copiers. Michael is trying to get into her pants so he interrupts by showing her a slide show featuring pictures of himself, “sexy men” and not subliminal enough subliminal frames saying SEX. Being Michael he fails at going for a kiss right there in the conference room, as witnessed by jaw-dropped Jim and Pam. Pam encourages Michael to keep trying, even though it’s becoming obvious she’s just flirting with Michael to get a discount the company can’t afford. The woman offers Mikey a mint, which he tries to take from her hand by way of his stupid mouth. Michael pleads with the office mates that he can’t stop trying to kiss her, and Pam tells him inexplicably that it isn’t hopeless yet because she hasn’t left. Jim and I both ask, “What the hell is wrong with you? Why encourage him?” But Pam has noticeably softened in her married years. She eventually does leave, without Michael awkwardly trying unsuccessfully some more for kissies. She left her barett behind, giving Michael an excuse to rush out to the parking lot to talk to her again. Pam finally has enough, telling him there’s no chance she’s interested. Michael does it anyway, and it turns out she did want some Michael Scott action, and they kiss. Excuse me? What’s the lesson here? Women are turned on by morons? Awful. If I was a woman I’d be offended. It was funny though when he came back upstairs and nobody believed him.
Dwight tries to stir some shit up involving the Dunder Mifflin executive minority training program because they don’t consider beet farmers and glass wearers minorities. This is designed to set-up the not used enough comedy duo of Dwight and Kelly. Dwight tries to teach Kelly how to be a nuisance in the interview process to get her way in, but Ryan beats him to it, telling her to just turn every question around with a question. Diabolical! Turns out it doesn’t matter, the only other applicant would have been Darryl, and he didn’t apply on account of him wanting to sign up with a softball team. Dwight tries to get Oscar and Stanley to apply, but they know Kelly applied and they wouldn’t dare cross her. Dwight then enlists the help of the mysterious and awesome Habatashi: In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. Kelly is pissed at Dwight. The interview must have not worked out because Kelly into the program. Her and Dwight have a nice moment before she creepily tells him she remembers EVERYTHING. Dum dum dum.
Things To Say After You Return The Lady’s Baguette
“Your office is full of genitalia.”
“I didn’t say ‘aight’.”
“Just once I would like to be a puppet master and not have anything go wrong. Is that too much to ask?”
“Women only lose two things: sexuality and pus.”
“I was going after the money. “Well the joke was on you.” “Yes it was!”
“Why don’t you just move the M&M’s?” “WHY DON’T YOU SHUT UP?!”
“I’ll slap you in the face with a rainbow.”
P.S.
Tonight’s episode was directed by Mindy Kaling. I thought that would mean Kelly would get little to no face time, but I was wrong. For the first time in my life!
Meredith really thinks highly of herself doesn’t she?
Gabe: racist? Or just a cute innocent version of Michael? Or both?
