Good medicine

I was going to have a post about all the Super Bowl commercials, but really didn't have the time to get my anger juices flowing over them yet, maybe later in the week.

However if you missed the Office last night after the Super Bowl, you missed a treat. Here are the first 5 minutes of the episode in which Dwight sets up a fake fire to see if everyone knows what to do.



I really don't know what he wanted them to do; the doors were locked, the phone was disconnected. It does lead to some funny stuff. I love using the copier to break down a door, the overhead projector through the window,Kevin raiding the snack machine, and Oscar crawling in the drop ceiling.

Great lines: "Stanley, Barack is President. You are black Stanley." ~Michael
"The fire is shooting at us." ~Andy after Dwight lights some firecrackers.

Give NBC credit for this. The Office is a hilarious show, but its rating are just okay. They are trying to take the millions of people who were watching the Super Bowl and immediately show them how funny the show is. This episode started about 2 seconds after the post game. If you didn't have a chance to change the channel, you would quickly see a great scene that shows how funny The Office is. The great thing about the show is that you can just watch it, you don't have to know any back stories or anything. Just sit back and laugh
