The Office: Weight Loss

I've decided to start giving my quick thoughts on the new episodes of The Office. Since I am so obsessed with it, might as well talk about it. If you don't watch it, I suggest you start so you can keep up with me. Here we go:

Last night's episode was the Season 5 Premiere and it was called: Weight Loss.

Evidently there was a contest over the summer between all of the branches of Dunder Mifflin. The branch that lost the most weight got 3 days off. However, it then turned to 5 days off.

I've been a big Jim and Pam fan since - FOREVER!! I'm so glad she didn't marry Roy. At the season finale, Jim was supposed to propose, but he didn't. Andy Bernard proposed to Angela and that deflated Jim's engagement bubble. We also saw how Dwight and Angela were caught getting busy. Back to Jim and Pam. They talked about it over the summer and since Pam was going to Graphics Arts School for 3 months, they didn't want to begin their engagement with her in another city. That is understandable!!! Jim couldn't wait any longer and asked her to meet him for lunch halfway between Scranton and New York. In the pouring rain, he proposed to her and it was very romantic.

Andy was busy trying to plan the perfect wedding for him and Angela because "Every little boy fantasizes about his fairytale wedding". Every time he went around Angela, she would pick up the phone. I didn't know what she was doing, but she was paging Dwight to have some alone time in the warehouse. Andy went through the universe to find a location. There was The Breakers in Rhode Island where his "parents decided not to get divorced". Then because she was so picky, he paid 4 non-refundable down payments on a hot air balloon, Epcot Center, scuba diving in the Bahamas and the Marriott Center Ballroom C. Angela replied "Dangerous. Tacky. Sharks. Haunted. No.". I mean just classic Angela answers. I'll be curious to see how far this engagement/wedding thing goes. I read that there will be 3 weddings before the season is over. As long as Jim/Pam are one, I don't care.

Then there was everybody's weight loss tactics. I had no idea this would be the episodes subject. But it started out with the branch attempting to gorge, but Dwight ruined that. On Monday, Oscar had a piece of grilled chicken and case of Diet Coke over the weekend. Andy didn't have anything since noon on Friday and Kelly was drinking some crazy concoction.

Here are my favorite lines/exchanges:

Andy (talking to Angela about hiring his a capella group for the wedding): "Ok, I hear you, sweetheart, but this is a deal breaker. But you know what? You're gonna love these guys. Carl 1, Carl 2, Rockley Rob, Spare Rib, Doobie, Lunch Box, Boner Champ, that's me, Pubie Lose and the News, Hopscotch, Jingle Jangle, Sandwich. These are the best best-man a guy could ever hope for."

Dwight: "This is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna randomly select three names and these three people will get liposuction. Uhhhhh Stanley, Phyllis, Kevin. And you will be responsible for your own medical bills."

Michael as Michael Clump: " It's my sumo suit. I just didn't inflate it all the way. I am so glad that I bought instead of rented."

Pam: "I will be a little fish in the big apple. [does hand gesture] What up, 212?"

Jim/Dwight/Michael: "Dwight: Wait a minute. One more bite of eclair each. Hold it in your mouth if you can't swallow.Jim: [smiles, looks to Michael] Really, nothing?"

Creed: "That wasn't a tapeworm"

Michael: [rapping] I'm MC Mike Scott, and I am hot. She's DJ Jazzy Flax, and she is the best. All those sucker branches can suck our fat!
Holly: Wikka wikka wikka what?

Andy: "Andy Bernard does not lose contests. He wins them... or he quits them because they are unfair."

Kelly:"[sickly] I am on the third day of my cleanse diet. All I have to do is drink maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and water for all three meals. Um, I just bought some bikinis online, size 2. So ... gonna look amazing."

Ok I could go on forever. If you missed the episode or just want to watch it again, see below. FYI, you can watch any episode of any tv show you like for free over at Hulu .
