Hands down, the best scene is “Happy Birthday Stanly!” Kicks cake into Michael.
Kelly making out right in front of Ryan was golden.
The other scene I liked that no one mentioned is everyone describing how beautiful kelly is then you here her whisper “What else do you like about me?”
I also love the scene where Michael audibly groans after overhearing Holly’s date the night before. The scene after that with Michael lashing out at Jim was hilarious too. Michael was right about that one with Jim telling him to take things slow, although Michael blew his chance at the end (again).
They don’t have to drag the Jim/Pam thing anymore because now they have Michael/Holly to deal with.
Fat guy from Madmen is in the credits for a few episodes this season so I guess we haven’t seen the last of him yet.
of course, everyone thought michael thought he was buying those tickets off holly to ask her to go. but of course, not only does he rip it up (and you can tell holly was expecting to be asked out), but then he tells her he will pay her back later when he gets money
my memory is a little fuzzy, but i dont recall seeing meredith at all in the first episode… was she there?
a subpar episode overall imo… not nearly as funny as previous season’s first episodes. dwight was carrying the show as usual, but even he seemed out of character this time around.
Meredith was there, but it looked like she was in some kind of accident or something. Her face was all blotchy and red, and she had small bandaids everywhere, which is probably why she didn’t get screentime.
There was also one part of the episode where her face looked all shiny like there was a plastic cover over it. During one of the weigh ins. I thought maybe I missed something before the intro, but I guess they just never said anything?
So no new Office tonight?
EDIT:
Found out what happened to Meredith. Check out the deleted scenes on www.nbc.com/The_office
meredith’s face

“These guys took me out on a fishing boat… thinking I don’t think I caught anything”
Also, Oscar’s funny. “I have straight abs. I want gay abs”[/details]
So there was no episode this past Thursday? I’m assuming the debate took over all the channels? If so, i’m kinda pissed off. I’d MUCH rather watch Michael Scott act stupid than that mentally-challenged whore Sarah Palin.
Ryan probably had a good lawyer so he wasn’t put in jail for years. Obviously he has to do community service. Also, since he has a criminal record, the best job he can get is a receptionist because Michael loves Ryan enough to ignore the criminal history.
Hehe. “I just like to dive in there and get my hands dirty” - Michael on relationships
As for hilarious scenes, how about when everybody found out Pam’s weight after she got off the scale. Awkward.
Michael trying to copy Jim and give Pam a kiss goodbye when she was leaving in her car to art college.
“Fight the power” Stanley.
Computer-screen-Pam being interviewed in the office. That was kind of freaky.
Flies in the vending machine. Bug spraying the food so nobody takes it home and gets fat.
There’s just so much. I can’t believe the lukewarm response to this epic fall premiere.
