Why We Love The Office, and How to Bide Our Time for Season 5
ReplyDeleteIf you are visiting this blog, you are here for one of two reasons. 1) You have an inordinately large amount of free time on your hands, or 2) You are a fan of The Office, the greatest show on television since Laverne and Shirley. Regardless of which of these two categories you fall into, you are here nonetheless. Let’s take a peek into our collective psyche for a moment to ponder why it is we love this show so much. After our moment of reflection, we will consider some activities that will keep us busy until the new season starts September 25th.
Part I – Why We Love The Office
Everyone who loves The Office does so for different reasons. Whether it’s the sexual tension, the inappropriate remarks, or the characters themselves, the show is something many people can identify with for a variety of reasons. And it’s funny. So watch it.
*Michael—the king of awkward office remarks.
*Dwight—suck up supreme, and the guy who has plenty of “pushable” buttons.
*Jim—jokester extraordinaire.
*Pam—America’s sweetheart.
*Everyone else at the Scranton Branch office.
*Office Antics.
*Great Parties.
*Tension, and lots of it.
*Inappropriate behavior.
*Silence is golden, especially when it’s awkward.
*We live vicariously through the characters.
*We’ve all dealt with someone similar to at least one of the characters.
*It’s quotable.
*Really? Do we need any more reasons?
Part II – Biding Our Time for Season 5
Now for the tough part. It’s been difficult waiting for the new season, and we have done well thus far, but as the date approaches, the tension mounts. The anxiety is more than we can bear. What on earth can we do to occupy ourselves as we prepare for September 25th!?
*Take up a hobby, maybe live-action role-playing games.
*Employ some of Jim’s tactics to harass your co-workers.
*Inappropriately quote The Office. Example: “That’s what she said.”
*Watch some Office reruns and have a quote-along.
*Cry.
*Make your own episode and upload to YouTube.
*Work on your paper clip chain or rubber band ball.
*Reminisce about past episodes.
*Go see The Rocker (again) to get your Rainn fix.
*Keep visiting this site.
*Twiddle your thumbs.
*Learn the whistle solo for Guns N’ Roses’ “Patience.”
*Go make some friends.
Hopefully by this point, you have realized that September 25th isn’t that far away, and that if you want the latest news and gossip on The Office and its cast, you should definitely bookmark this site. Let’s keep the folks at Dunder Mifflin employed for five more seasons!
