Is there ever a holiday that is not a "very big deal" at Dunder Mifflin?

I wanna see the episode where nothing happens. Like in real life.
I wanna see the episode where people are merely incompetent at their jobs in a completely un-entertaining way forcing the people who are competent to do extra work and bitch impotently about it without the aid of smirking asides to the camera.
Decent episode, but I really don't think Jim would have been at all rattled by Dwight's bullshit. Babies are just babies for such a long time. Big deal, make money to feed the damn thing.
I like that they let Kate Flannery be legitimately pretty this week. That was nice.
Hey, was anyone else waiting for Wall-E to roll into the dump scene tonight?
Some pretty funny lines, though.

Funny lines? Yes. Dump set that couldn't have looked more like a soundstage with a green screen? Absolutely (and a bit distracting when they were throwing things at each other).
I must have fallen into a daze. Why were Andy and Erin suddenly in that dump? That made no sense to me. (I noticed the CGI soundstage fakery as well.)

I have NO idea why they were in the dump, come to think of it.
BUT, Andy's facial reactions to where he thought Erin's hot-and-cold game was leading him were re-goddamn-diculously good. My wife and I watched that moment probably half a dozen times. Kudos to Ed Helms for that, it was amazing.

This sums it up for me perfectly. I always like seeing Michael and Dwight together, and their dialogue was great last night...but man that soundstage/green screen work they did looked so fucking digital to me. Did you watch it in HD metal2000? I'm wondering if on a standard def set it would've looked quite so starkly fake?Originally Posted by metal2000
I watched it in SD. Shittiness confirmed. But it must have been even worse in HD.

I watched it on my 32"HDTV, and the fake dump was immediately obvious.
The fact that Erin and Andy had their Jim and Pam moment in a dump for no reason at all (barring any deleted scene explaining why they were there) is pretty disappointing. I'm hoping something was mentioned to lead them there - something I missed.
Agreed. The "hot/cold" thing between Andy and Erin was really fun. Ellie and Ed were hilarious there.
i didn't notice it looked that fake because i was watching a comedy show.
I thought it was a really funny idea for Andy and Erin's "Jim and Pam moment" to be in a dump. But yeah, it would have been better if there was some kind of explanation as to why they were there.
There’s no such thing as a bad neighborhood when you’ve got a purple belt in taekwondo, Doug.
That makes for a nice forum post and all, but the whole concept of the show is the documentary format applied to a very realistic office. They've admittedly fudged that more and more in recent seasons, but if that's your show's concept and you can't execute realistic sets and effects to match it, it's going to stick out.
If you would put the cast of How I Met Your Mother on that same set, there wouldn't be an issue. But for this show, it makes a difference.

Boy it must've been really fucking fake looking for the rest of us that were also watching a comedy show to take notice of it enough to comment on it.
Yeah, I didn't really care that the set looked fake, it's just that for a show which has done a mostly great job of looking "realistic" (I mean, they built a full and functional fake office on a soundstage so it would retain realism) it stood out.
And I watched it via my Slingbox on my laptop in a hotel room, so I can only imagine how bad it looked if I was at home watching it in TRUE HD.
But more importantly... Comedy! Jokes! Funny! Humour!
shut up
I thought the green screen was pretty gross, i mean why green, is it snot or what? all I could see was snot and slime and not the kind that gives me wood, thumbs down

Night gathers, and now my snark begins. It shall not end until it gets hacky. I shall take my wife(... please!), hold no lands, father no negative ratings. I shall wear no crowns and win no AST Top 20 Rankings. I shall live and die by my posts. I am the LOL in the darkness. I am the fire that burns against the trolls, the sneer that guards the realms of men from Kyle Cease's Comedy Boot Camp. I pledge my life and honor to the AST's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.
My fake board name dislikes your fake board name's post.
(And the green screen was still terrible)
