LOLZZZZZZ
FUCK MICHAEL SCOTT! by FuckMichaelBay	Mar 12th, 2009 01:23:33 AM

Ryan is USELESS by Bob C. Cock	Mar 12th, 2009 02:00:50 AM
his character is not needed anymore. bj novak thinks he is one of the main "stars", and it's annoying.
If you are getting tired of The Office, by TheMarineBiologist	Mar 12th, 2009 02:35:56 AM
join the club. Great show, but is getting rather stale...
STRINGER BELL by billypilgrimisunstuck	Mar 12th, 2009 03:35:57 AM
Yes, Sir. Yes fucking sir.
p.s. by billypilgrimisunstuck	Mar 12th, 2009 03:36:55 AM
We really need to start having 30 Rock talkbacks.
DAMN YOU FUCKMICHAELBAY by DamnMichaelBay	Mar 12th, 2009 04:43:21 AM
You suck
Agreed by WerePlatypus	Mar 12th, 2009 06:01:38 AM
Michael can be funny, but he always gets 30-40 lines. . . there are weeks where Creed gets 0. Maybe the Office should be a true emsemble, like Arrested Development.
The problem is by Montag666	Mar 12th, 2009 07:52:40 AM
That the show is getting too goddamn sentimental, and they can't make up their minds as to wether they want the show to be funny or dramatic and it's killing it.
End this shit NOW! by Thrillho77	Mar 12th, 2009 07:59:11 AM
It has already blown its chance of being anywhere NEAR the British version in terms of quality and consistency. End it before it reaches Scrubs-like levels of epic badness. Stringer Bell FTW.
why no talkback for "30 rock"? by Toe Jam	Mar 12th, 2009 08:29:20 AM
it is far superior to "the office," which has really become tiresome and contrived, just like "24" and "lost," two of my former favorites that have now taken a nosedive.
IndyAbbey Jones... by LordPorkington	Mar 12th, 2009 08:36:34 AM
You're the biggest fucktard to ever post on AICN. I know people have different opinions when it comes to comedy, but what you wrote isn't an opinion, it's just pure drivel. 'Nothing but jokes about tea and the queen'? Have you ever actually watched the British version of The Office? Obviously not. That's like me saying the American version of The Office is nothing but jokes about George Bush and hamburgers. You're officially AICN's most stupid cunt of 2009 so far. Well done. And your statement about British humour being the comedy equivalent of HIV means your status as most stupid cunt is unlikely to change any time soon.
If British comedy is like AIDS... by mr_macphisto	Mar 12th, 2009 08:37:14 AM
...than AIDS me up, sir!
Hit and miss last two seasons by Drebin	Mar 12th, 2009 08:45:07 AM
Some are hilarious, while others I'm just sitting there waiting for the funny. 30 Rock hit-to-miss ratio has been much better.
IndyAbbey Jones Vs LordPorkington. by Mr_X	Mar 12th, 2009 09:07:56 AM
who will win this battle of wills?
More Creed! by Carpet_Pisser	Mar 12th, 2009 09:10:53 AM
And I agree with White Goodman, I want to mototboat the fuck out of Pam's tits!
goddamn I cant type today by Carpet_Pisser	Mar 12th, 2009 09:14:01 AM
mototboat. Really. fuck. MOTORBOAT
I hate to sound like a jerk by Montag666	Mar 12th, 2009 09:25:21 AM
But I gots to have me some of that motorboat action too! Of course I'd be doing it while keeping mind how talented she is.
Montag666 by Carpet_Pisser	Mar 12th, 2009 09:40:31 AM
Of course, I wouldn't want her to think that I am using her for whatever fetish she represents to me only. And I still can't explain that fetish, mousey secretary maybe?
Already the 17 episode? by Jor-El23	Mar 12th, 2009 09:59:25 AM
How many are they doing this season? Is there going to be a huge break in April and then the last few episodes in May?
Oh, the glorious punnery... by disruptive pantsuit	Mar 12th, 2009 10:05:12 AM
Kudos on the "Blood Drive" and "anemic" pun. Very well done. My compliments.
I've begged before by haggardatbest	Mar 12th, 2009 10:30:31 AM
And I beg again. Please please please stop using 'funny' as a noun. "Waiting for the funny" are you serious?! THE funny? Jennifer Lopez battered wife movie! Oh wait... I mean ENOUGH!
And as for motorboating Pam by haggardatbest	Mar 12th, 2009 10:32:17 AM
As I said last week, the line starts over here. I've been waiting out here for months like a nerd dressed as Darth Nihilus waiting for Star Wars.
The funny by Drebin	Mar 12th, 2009 10:41:16 AM
Used it as a noun again. What are you going to do, Mr. Grammar Police?
Re: IndyAbbey Jones Vs LordPorkington by LordPorkington	Mar 12th, 2009 10:59:22 AM
Read IndyAbbey's last post and tell me who 'wins' this one. With such a well argued point as IndyAbbey's, I can't hope to compete with that kind of intellect, can I? He/she/it is obviously basing their entire argument on old British comedies from the 70's. 'Beaver pelt trade and spices?' Brilliant, just brilliant. I'll go back to making my cup of tea and have a good chuckle about the time my dad raped me. Happy days...
Stringer Bell should send Michael down to the low-rises by Dr Lizardo	Mar 12th, 2009 11:02:16 AM

Last weeks episode was not "anemic" by wolfboy	Mar 12th, 2009 11:43:55 AM
I actually thought that last weeks episode was one of the best in a long time. The writers have recently been trying to achieve a more "dramatic" element and I believe that they succeeded extremely well last week. No it was most certainly not the funniest episode, but it had a lot of hilarious moments as well as (IMO) a rather compelling and complex storyline. The Jim and Pam scenes were sort of unnecessary- but I felt that all of the scenes back at the Office involving Michael, especially in the second half of the episode were very interesting. The ending, in which the entire Office stepped in to support Michael was a beautiful and powerful moment and definitely a shift from our previous expectations of the characters... I really hope the writers keep it up...
Gotta love Stringer Bell! by AzulTool	Mar 12th, 2009 12:33:57 PM
Does this mean Snoop will have a recurring role on 30 Rock?
I agree, this season is kind of lame by Ebolarama	Mar 12th, 2009 02:35:26 PM
I still watch and get a few chuckles, but it has definitely lost something. Maybe that it's becoming the Michael Pam And Jim show, I don't know... I personally think all the characters are hilarious, and they should include Kevin, Oscar, and definitely Creed more.
yeah... by motivotion	Mar 12th, 2009 02:55:31 PM
I love The Office but its growing kind of stale. They need to take a new approach, and the only obvious choice is a Creed spin off. He is an inspiration for all of us.
IndyAbbey's dog... by LordPorkington	Mar 12th, 2009 03:06:20 PM
You said you'd call me. I'm still waiting. Bitch.
its always sunny in philidelphia by LEOGETZ_3000	Mar 12th, 2009 03:59:38 PM
is now funnier than the office and 30 rock.

you're an idiotic cunt...
Lost is amazing. by AshokZero	Mar 12th, 2009 04:44:37 PM
"Lost" is to "nosedive" like "Arrested Development" is to "unfunny".
You guys are motorboating... by Thrillho77	Mar 12th, 2009 05:33:56 PM
doesn't seem to be any more room at the "trough" for me. So, I guess I'll go ass to mouth on her.
I feel like being a twit... by BillyPilgrim	Mar 12th, 2009 05:43:05 PM
....Teh Funny.... I'm done now.
The Office is a great show by pumaman	Mar 12th, 2009 05:43:29 PM
The show , along with My Name IS Earl is consistently excellent. I like laughing, and half an hour of either of them makes me happy. Can't really ask for more than that.
LordPorkington vs IndyAbbey Jones by Mr_X	Mar 12th, 2009 05:49:30 PM
fight has been cancelled due to poor ticketsales.

Beginning of the end? You continue to be full of shit, Herc by memento108	Mar 12th, 2009 08:06:21 PM
On a bad day this show is still one of the top 3 funniest shows on television. Put away the jump to conclusions mat.

The British "Office"... by Raymond_K_Hessel	Mar 12th, 2009 08:10:03 PM
...can gargle my balls and suck out my man-mayonnaise. I have a problem giving props to anything produced by a nation whose citizens all have teeth looking like a fence around a haunted house. "British Book of Smiles" anyone? And yes, "The Office" isn't as good or funny as it was the first three seasons, but it's still the best sitcom on network TV right now. So, in the immortal words of Mr. Earl Hickey, "Pour some sugar on THAT!!!"
Ok, i'm an idiot by memento108	Mar 12th, 2009 08:10:42 PM
I just got that.

Speaking of "Office-ish" things, nice "Office Space" ref. Seth McFarlane would be proud.
Also, shout out to 30 Rock. by mr_macphisto	Mar 12th, 2009 10:11:26 PM
Chris Parnell is a comedic genius.
dude... by motivotion	Mar 12th, 2009 10:18:24 PM
i know this doesn't belong here but as of tonight jon stewart is a genius.
Is this still popular? by lockesbrokenleg	Mar 12th, 2009 10:26:28 PM

@ motivotion by buffywrestling	Mar 12th, 2009 10:31:36 PM
I know, right? He took that guy to school.
I agree Motivotion by ChetPussy	Mar 12th, 2009 10:35:30 PM
Jesus that interview/raping was brutal watch....I actually thought Jim Cramer was going to start crying. It just shows the sad state of television news when the daily show are the ones offerring hard hitting interviews. That being said john stewert coming off like he is an every man being effected by the recession was a bit grating.
We join this program already in progress by ejcarter9	Mar 12th, 2009 11:07:34 PM
FUCK YOU SPORTS FUCK YOU SO FUCKING HARD GODDAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This episode was... by Steve Young	Mar 12th, 2009 11:28:57 PM
Uncomfortable to watch. And that made it MUCH funnier than the past three episodes. There was a lot of absurd Michael / Dwight screaming, but it was still pretty funny. The Kevin subplot was a little slight, but sort of sweet. Still... didn't expect to like this tonight, but it worked. I even laughed out loud. Cool.
"Did he just say 'funcooker'?" by Flim Springfield	Mar 13th, 2009 01:02:41 AM
Great stuff.

"Hot Richard"
Dwight's KGB joke... by BizarroJerry	Mar 13th, 2009 08:29:20 AM
That actually was funny. It woulda been the more obvious joke to make it offensive or just unfunny. Funny how despite being more sympathetic to Michael lately, Jim and Pam were not going to let him weasel out of his responsibility and/or get Dwight fired. Even Dwight's acceptance of the praise was excusable because Michael deserved it. Throwaway joke of the episode, Michael's "it is an announcement, you're just not interested in the information" and Oscar's silent agreement.
Also... by BizarroJerry	Mar 13th, 2009 08:30:59 AM
I'm gonna start calling people "Bite nuker".
They should start to wrap this series up by BobParr	Mar 13th, 2009 09:15:02 AM
The British series only lasted two seasons because it was logical that the boss would eventually get fired. The Scranton branch mysteriously continues to prosper and Michael (who has no concept of how other people view him) continues to make huge sales. It would be more intellectually honest if they began an arc that lead to Michael getting fired. A new boss is a good start. David's new boss from the British show was the beginning of the end for him. And the main engine of both shows was the romantic Jim/Pam arc. That's been colcluded and those characters are useless now.
Better than most this season... by _Maltheus_	Mar 13th, 2009 10:57:14 AM
...but yeah, I agree that they should wrap it up. I think the main problem with TV these days, is they either cancel too quick or go on for too long. And comedies have the shortest shelf life of all shows.
If it aint the British version... by Chadley BeBay	Mar 13th, 2009 11:33:34 AM
It's seriously shit. You don't thinks so? Try sitting through a single episode of this show in 5 years. Its not clever, witty, its shit.
LordPorkington vs IndyAbbey Jones by karmakitten13	Mar 13th, 2009 11:35:23 AM
was more interesting to read than the last 2 Office episodes were to watch.
Another solid episode by pumaman	Mar 13th, 2009 11:44:11 AM
Got me to laugh out loud a few times. If you don't fucking like the show, don't watch it. It ain't rocket science is it.
It will be around till at least 2012 by ThrowMeTheIdol	Mar 13th, 2009 12:36:24 PM
Which would be 7 years. It could go longer. It's nbc's biggest comedy hit by a longshot. Another good episode by Mindy, she's on a roll this year.
Jesus Christ, this cannot be a real talkbacker fight... by Quin the Eskimo	Mar 13th, 2009 01:32:10 PM
it's just to ridiculously surreal. Margaret Thacher was a slut. Oh yeah, Taft couldn't get out of the bath. Blah Blah.
I'm with Quin by haggardatbest	Mar 13th, 2009 03:16:17 PM
This is just bizarre. If this is what passes for an argument on AICN nowadays then I feel bad for us all. There used to be British Office vs American Office fights that made sense and didn't bring up tea and hamburgers. We all need to come together and make the Office talkback what it was always meant to be about: Jenna Fischer and how none of us has a chance but oh...what we would do if we did!
haggardatbest... Jenna by BrannigansLaw	Mar 13th, 2009 05:30:06 PM
Oh, I'd have a chance with her! But of course, I have sexlexia.
Thank god I'm here to sort this all out. by malificus	Mar 15th, 2009 08:16:32 PM
First of all, The Office is indeed tired, BJ Novak sucks, Angela is the hot one because she's got skills and Pam obviously could never get REALLY dirty, and finally England does indeed have it's AID's-based comedy Bit Biddle's Bleeding Bum which is not so very great but gives former child star, and suspected pedophile, Clive Glimptonshire something to do when he's not buggering teen runaways and writing travel books about summer cheese houses. Cheers!
