Your wife's words were extremely touching. I'm so sorry for your loss.

The cupcakes story is the series saying goodbye to Todd Packer. He showed everyone for the last time that this is who he is and will never change.

@BlueBoboDoo100 5 ай бұрын

For a character who is universally hated, Packer got like 3 different farewell episodes. Compare that to Kelly and Ryan, who get one half-hearted line in a cold open. I don't think I would've thought twice if Packer never showed up after Michael let Jim and Dwight send him to Florida.

Big office fan, but bigger fan of humanity. I hope you and everyone affected by the loss are ok and helping each other. You’re a legend for posting this and a double legend for reading that eulogy.

You're a good man. If my wife asked me to speak at such an event I would have started with "Fri-day night. I'm thinkin' that we-just-might..." all before I get the mic ripped from my hand for daring to pull an ITYSL reference. Thanks for your work, and just remember that there are people who will be watching this who are going through their own battles, and your silly little comments are the difference between their misery and those brief moments of smiling, positive reminiscence, and happiness. And however brief, it helps chip away at that burden piece by piece.

So sorry for your loss Chris. I’d been wondering about the wait with the next upload but I see now that you were totally prioritizing what was more important. May your father in law rest in peace. ❤🤷🏻‍♂️ As for the video, as great of content as you’ve ever put out. 👍

About the moon: great metaphor, but the physics of it is not that depressing. It will never drift fully away! The moon is drifting away because it is locked in a rotating system with the earth. As the earth and moon match each other's motion, they will spin less, and the moon will get further away (angular momentum is conserved). Eventually, they will be 'tidally locked' and will have the same side facing each other forever. At that point they won't be drifting apart anymore, and will stay that distance apart until they are absorbed by the sun when it starts to expand as it dies.

The idea of duality is super interesting. I had a brain tumor that left me disabled and wheelchair bound. Am I glad it happened? Hell no. But I’m grateful for the perspective

Dwight does mention having siblings but it sounded like they were older. It was when he said he has experience raising kids because for schrutes the youngest raises the others

Sorry for your loss. When I first watched this episode for the first time back in 2013, I was absolutely confused by it. I chalked it up to it being season 9 and the writers just throwing stuff at the wall. Seeing it again a decade later and understanding more of the background, it's just a reminder of how much they were phoning it in at this point in the series.

Let's assume Philip was always going to be Dwight's child and they would eventually find their way to each other. In a reality where The Farm wasn't canceled The Office might have ended with Dwight and Angela's relationship on a cliffhanger (to then resolve in the spin-off)

Giving an update on the office ladies: mulverine overlap! There is now only one episode difference! So they talked about the farm last week and gave a lot of really good insight to offer new perspectives for the “worst episode of the office” it’s not my favorite episode by any means, but I do look at this episode in new light and definitely think the farm could’ve been something great

I don’t know whether or not you’re Christian but as one myself, I believe death and tragedy can often be ways for God to make good things happen in our lives. Like you said, it can bring people who had previously held grudges back together. Whether it’s overdue or horribly untimely, there’s always a reason for it to happen. I’m sorry for your loss Mr Mulverine Sir, may God bless your family

Fun fact: while Thomas Middleditch and Zach Woods (Richard and Jared) both starred on the office, Kumail Nanjiani and Martin Starr both starred on community which were airing back to back around this time.

I really liked the farm part of this episode. (Not Packer's part). I knew it was a weird one, but that makes sense that it was a pilot All I knew was it showed a future for Dwight in a positive path.

@rubberlover666 5 ай бұрын

My thoughts are with you and your family. Your wife crafted a beautiful metaphor. Regarding this episode, I don’t think it would have worked even if The Farm was picked up. I’m a big Office fan but I could not be less interested in the goings on of Shrute farms. Dwight works because he’s the weirdo in a sea of relatively normal people. A whole show of weirdos? no thanks. Hard pass.

ok office fans i have some questions for you: 1. when jo makes dwight the acting manager and he sh**ts a gun and is removed from the position why didnt jo ask jim to be the permanent manager (he only said no to be the 'acting' manager) 2. dont you think karen and jim's breakup story wasnt a good ending like they just showed a 10 second clip of them fighting and she wasnt there from the next day...like is this really how it was supposed to end

@ignaciojvargas 5 ай бұрын

Jim was actually the manager when jo arrived, then he switched with michael because he believed it was better he be a salesman and michael the manager, why would jo put him back if he didn't want that position
