‘It’s Michael Scott!!’ Antepenultimate OFFICE!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Last week saw the absorption of The Michael Scott Paper Company into Dunder Mifflin. This week we will see how Pam Beesley integrates herself into the DM sales force.
I think Pam may technically have already closed more sales than fellow returnee Ryan Howard at this point.
This week:
CASUAL FRIDAY
Written by Anthony Farrell
Michael has to mediate a dispute within his new sales team. Meanwhile, trouble brews in the office when several employees take the term “casual” Fridays too loosely.
Next week:
CAFÉ DISCO
Michael enters the cafe-disco business. Meanwhile, Pam and Jim decide to take a secret trip.
May 14:
COMPANY PICNIC
Written by Jen Celotta and Paul Lieberstein
It’s the annual Dunder Mifflin company picnic and Michael and Holly are reunited, and Michael has some big plans for her. Meanwhile, the office competes in the picnic’s volleyball tournament.
Kelly Erin Hannon, the new receptionist, is expected to keep her job subsequent to Pam’s return.
“The Wire” vets Idris Elba and Amy Ryan will both appear in the fifth season finale because ALL the Dunder Mifflin branches will be brought together for a giant picnic. Mike Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly says to expect a big twist that will echo into season six.
Expect Jim & Pam to tie the knot this fall.

Go Herc Go!
-
A lifelong dream realized?
-
So close.
-
YES YES YES! I've needed more Creed lately; when does that Webisode start airing? Good stuff!
And why did Herc list Survivor? That's on a different network even! -
They bring everyone together in a "fun" enviroment and tell them DM is closing up shop. Just a guess, but that is pretty huge.
-
Nice to see you're a Creed fan. "Which one is Pam?"
-
How can you NOT be a Creed fan?! 'I've been involved in cults, both as a leader and follower. Make more money as a leader...but you have more fun as a follower.' The man is brilliant.
Wouldn't that be crazy? Bring everybody back just to boot 'em out again. I have enjoyed this season, but just in spurts here and there; I'm just worried they're having trouble coming up with interesting and new stories and jokes. And if it's gonna' end, I'd like to see it end gracefully; I'd honestly not be dissapointed if next season was the last. They've given us plenty of the funny. -
Too much confusion if the new person from the new shitty Parks show appears on The Office?
-
More Creed ftw. Really don't see why he doesn't get more face time. And isn't this the episode where Michael's past as a KKK member is revealed? ( Joke regarding last weeks tb. Sorry, but I had to do it. )
-
...like 42 times in the past week.
-
We're reaching the end of seasons, bound to come up more often.
I just keep thinking it's 'Antediluvian' and get all excited they're actually making a new, good Vampire: The Masquerade TV show. Guess I'll just have to keep working on my own, though... -
whos having kids?
-
My Name is Earl is better than Survivor. What the Hell is wrong with you. Is it just a matter of pride at this point, like mega-conservative asshats insisting we may yet find WMD in Bagdad?
-
The Office. You are forgiven. Cast out your pride and come back into the fold.
-
...i feel stupid to admit this but I had to look it up on my dictionary program to see what it meant. I kept thinking every show had the same episode title or something.
-
What's an "asshat" anyway. I just used it 'cause someone else did and it sounds funny. Is it dirty?
-
Hollys gonna be sporting a baby bump when she show face at the picnic. There was that letter that made Pam certain Holly and Michael weren't done. I expect that reason to be a kid, of course to be named Chevy......regardless of Sex.
-
considering they did it last year, but i am seriously almost certain its gonna go down. Come back to this TB next week, i'll be the guy saying i told you so.
-
seriously...and we need more creed wherever we can get it. he is the best part of the show and the greatest character in the history of storytelling. seriously, tell me who's better?

you're welcome... -
...or did they retract his award? That must be the case, since they didn't mention it again this week... Oh yeah, and Pam's boobs rule. Zing!
-
...hey sometimes you gota ride the bull.
-
*grind teeth*
-
Move the hell out of Scranton.
-
Michael : Toby
-
they can suck my balls, I haven't watched it once since I found out they were all scientology assholes. I do a crossword puzzle until Parks and Rec comes on...
-
60K split three ways is only 20k a piece. and then you have to take out taxes. They were smart to go back to Dunder Miflin. I wonder if Jim and Pam's secret trip next week will have them eloping. never heard anitpenultimate before seeing it on this site but Penultimate is the next to last episode of the show. I learned that in 2000 when 90210 ended and the second to last episode was called Penultimate
-
http://tinyurl.com/cqcdzq Now back to your regularly scheduled Office talkback...
-
Pay Amy Ryan whatever it costs to become a regular or semi-regular on the show. She was awesome.
-
...pops up on your crossword, looks like you'll have a first class ticket to answertown.
-
from Monty Python. "It's the Last but one Supper. The Penultimate Supper".
-
Naked dude on crutches actually made me laugh, who knew?
-
Hee!
-
and jim playing chess!!!! 'nuff said.
-
much better than last year.
-
Manipulative bitch. HATE her this ep. Crying about "family" then saying all she cares about is the clients. I knew Micheal should have left it at the money toss. That was win.
-
the new receptionist for realz & give Ryan the job. Maybe?
-
But it kinda makes sense that Pam got the job over Ryan. Not a lot of laughs this episode but I guess they did had to stablize some things. Bit of a let down after the laughs from last week though.
-
i don't get what all the hate for parks and recreation is about... i find it entertaining. Its not comedy gold, but its a fun show. Of course, that's just my opinion...
-
antepenultimate would be an awesome scrabber word, and it seems it's the vocabulary word for the day... erm.. month, but maybe we can use a synonym once in awhile. Actually I shouldn't complain, it's better than Harry's permanent redundant superlatives
-
Suffers from an over abundance of Amy Poler and and Under abundance of Every one else. The 19 year old intern looked really hot in this episode. Surely there were other female leads they could have used for this show. Casting Rashida Jones in the Pam role is pretty funny though. Atleast the guy playing her boyfriend showed some maturity this week, something Roy never did. Though last week when they were talking about hiring a delivery driver I was so hoping they would hire Roy.
-
I've watched every episode of The Office religiously, but I've yet to see a single episode of Parks & Recreation.
-
...Just wanted to make a 30 Rock reference.
-
Fuck Phylis; she became a complete jerk after she got married.
Ok ep. In the immortal words of the Schrute, "Good, not great." Is it wrong that the new receptionist is growing on me? She's stupid in the same funny way that Michael and Andy are.
Also...was I the only one actually on Michael's side this ep? He took their clients...but that's because they wouldn't stand up for him when he was fired and asked for their loyalty. Granted, he can be a pain; but they straight-up SHUNNED him (save Pam). And now THEY want an apology? For him being a better salesman? Pah-LEEZE!
PS: CREEEEEEEED! Need more need more need more... -
That doesn't happen often. Good episode.
-
Who is on Michael's side. I was almost yelling at the screen.
-
Even though the joke was pretty obvious, still had me laughing out loud.
-
He should have told them that if they wanted their clients then they should have been good enough salesmen to keep them in the first place. Also, throwing money in their face was awesome.
-
Shouldn't these details have been ironed out by Michael and David Wallace. The problem with corporate in this series is sometimes they seem to be in full control, other times the office is run like they don't exist. I don't think a real company would have made the deal to bring these employees in and not hammer out the details. And there should be a limited number of sales people per office.By the way, to expect these people to risk their jobs on Michael's insane and inevitably failed business venture after his tantrum over Charles is too much. These people need their jobs. There was no real loyalty issue here.BUT, I do agree that if they lost their clients, they should have gone and gotten some new ones. What the hell are these people doing if not constantly looking for new clients?
-
In his review of the pilot he thought Rashida Jones character might dump her boyfriend played by Chris Pratt for Mark who Herc thought was "Halperty". It turns out that the boyfriend, though kind of a doof is pretty thoughtful and likable while this Mark guy is babehound and kind of a jerk.
-
And boring.
-
oh, and while you are at it, dump herc. he is the antepenultimate dumbass of this site (the penultimate being harry)
-
I can't believe someone as cynical and jaded as Jason Lee is a Scientologist. I can't believe Kevin Smith would work with him, although they haven't done much together lately.
-
In this economy you'd have to be nuts to walk away from your job. Its not like theres that much opportunity at the moment. I do think everyone in the office should stop bitching about why Michaels the boss. Clearly he got the job because he's the best salesman and he proved it by putting not only the branch but the CFO on the ropes. As childish as he is, Michaels the boss so live with it. Plus its cool to see him with something to actually be proud of for once. After Jan, the condo, and Holly I really wanted to feel good for this guy. Now if only Toby could get a win in.
-
I'm kinda on the fence about everyone not going with Michael. Actually, now that I really think about it, I'm not. They left Michael hangin' and are now talking about family because they want their clients back. They can't play the "Family Card" only when it suits them.
-
"Don't accept it! Don't accept it!" Classic:D
-
I'm willing to give it a chance to establish the characters. After all, The Office was very shaky when it started, but is now a very solid show. In fact, I think they're already starting to get a handle on Knope and Pam's boyfriend.
-
That was about the funniest fucking thing I've seen on TV in the last billion years...
-
with Kevin and the chili was the best, although Kevin's face after he spilled the chili made me sad. But all in all, the episode wasn't as good as last week's.
-
That show is growing on me so much. Alec Baldwin especially. Some of the throw away lines are the funniest parts of the show. I will support Office and P&R just because I much prefer it do the drivel FOX, CBS, and ABC call comedy
-
She's so damn cute.
-
As for Parks and Rec.....I think it has promise. Aziz Anazari is funnnnnyyyy.
-
I actually laughed aloud numerous times during this episode. It may be developing its voice.
-
I doubt it would even work on Comedy Central. Amy Poller is just not funny
-
Why not just call Coaxial "Antepenultimataxial" instead? Why not change the site name to Antepenultimate It Cool News?
-
...when did Ryan become a member of Hitler's Youth?
A part of me thinks that joke is in bad taste... the other part of me says "FUCK IT, post it anyway."
I wonder which part I listened to.
