Exploring the Night Out - Office Field Guide - S4E15

[@sheeps_]

Toby putting his hand on Pam’s knee then jumping the Fence is one of my all time favorite jokes in the series. It gets me everytime for me it’s one of the best cringe jokes within the series, he’s always talking of travel and this awkward moment pushed him over the edge. It was truly amazing.

[@jimcat68]

I have to give kudos to Paul Lieberstein, and also BJ Novak and Mindy Kaling - as writers of the show, they don't hesitate to make their own characters the butt of some very cringey humor. This certainly tops out the cringe-meter... who puts his hand on someone's knee when their boyfriend is sitting right on the other side of her, *and* in full view of everyone else in your office? I guess he forgot himself for a moment? If I did that, I'd run away to Costa Rica too.

[@sheeps_]

@@jimcat68 there’s so much realism in Toby enjoying and talking and laughing with Pam so much he forgets they’re in a room of people and places his hand on Pam’s knee. I always assume he was just caught up in the moment and forgots everyone around it seems like they rarely have one on one time so to sit beside her and laugh with her? That’s more then Toby gets to do most days I can imagine him disappearing into a world of his own while talking to Pam, getting so caught up he reacts with his emotions first by touching her knee before thinking logically about where they are and how that is not appropriate.

[@ReaganZuber]

"I have a lot of questions. Number one: how dare you." is a quote I use ALL THE TIME and even hardcore office fans miss it, it makes me so sad

[@Richard_Nickerson]

That makes me laugh every time, in show or as a reference.

[@jimcat68]

This was the point in the series at which I picked up on a running gag: every time Jim finds himself in charge, he messes up in some hilarious way.

[@bigwilly43729]

It's always inadvertent, well-meaning and somehow related to sabotage, sometimes intentional, sometimes unintentional.

[@disco.heaven]

and he almost destroyed his marriage after becoming a founder of athleap

[@moonlight-tq2es]

It's because a normal guy ,can't control weirdos. Edit: I was re-watching the show, and there is one moment to prove you wrong my friend, Office Olympics

[@ua3698]

I feel like Creed only remembered Hank’s name because Hank is the security guard of the office which comes closest to a police officer and because this is the only time it would benefit him to know someone’s name

[@Mulverine]

Oh, that's a great point!

[@janedoe6704]

Im surprised that Creed didn't have a key himself.

[@runevi]

Michael's pure *euphoria* at Ryan's excitement is _so_ palpable! The kid he wants a bromance with and the respect of embraces him and for a single, solitary and fleeting moment he's in heaven! Only to have it all wash away when even HE realizes something is up.

[@belkitoFUERTE]

also, the part where Jim is on the phone and says, "Heeeey....Chief." I swear that gets me every time. as someone who works (well pre-covid) in events with a mass amounts of people attending, this is something I absolutely HAVE to do due to meeting hundreds of people all of the time.

[@oreganospiceable]

I don't think of this episode as one of my favorites, but I'm always excited when it comes on. There's so much good stuff in it. A great moment that you didn't mention is when Michael and and Dwight find Ryan in NY and he's excited to see them. Such a perfect example of subverting audience expectations. Even Michael knows that's wrong. And "I have a lot of questions. Number one: how dare you." is my most used gif.

[@jimcat68]

I think that Ryan's excitement may have been fueled by Colombian Marching Powder

[@oreganospiceable]

@@jimcat68 Oh yeah. No doubt.

[@name-yk3de]

@@jimcat68 yup as someone who used to have a problem with coke and other drugs the drugs is what made him excited to see them

[@thatsmallcessna8300]

My favorite thing from this episode is that we see that even Michael knows Ryan doesn't like him that much when he's surprised that Ryan is happy to see him. 😂

[@christosioannou9628]

I’ll never forget the first time I saw this episode. Toby putting his hand on Pam’s leg was just so so horribly awkward but the subsequent fence jump was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

[@fatalbert2055]

Toby putting his hand on Pam’s leg hurts me more than the entirety of Dinner Party.

[@nspector]

Yes, agreed. It's truly painful to watch.

[@Mibbitmaker]

It might mean nothing, but I just noticed something. When identity theft is mentioned, they cut to Dwight's reaction. I wonder if it's a deliberate reference to the Jim-as-Dwight prank, since Dwight mentions ID theft in that cold open?

[@joshcampelo]

I always love to see how Dwight is actually a catch and do so well with women without even trying. Of course, he ruins it because he's... well, Dwight. But I think he didn't even began to realize he was doing well. That's an awesome trait of the character of Dwight and I look forward to see your take on a similar situation, when we get to Jim and Pam's wedding. Oh, and yes: that was racist.

[@Hi-jw7oq]

I speak spanish and I love that I can translate it makes me feel so smart!

[@daveyjones7391]

False. It wasn’t racist, it was just a reasonable heuristic approach to solving a problem.

[@rossomac21]

Interesting how Michael Scott is a fan of "The Wire" and doesn't bring up that Charles Miner looks like Russell "Stringer" Bell.

[@juanignaciojimenez1986]

4:08 As a Hispanic myself, I don't think is was meant to be a stone-cold racist joke, but it sort of foreshadows a stereotype that's very common among Americans and the whole continent to be fair. I didn't really take it as racist, because Jim was extremely agitated for the situation he provoked, and encountered a way to fix it (instead of waiting for Hank to arrive).

[@sgoozy]

These videos are great! Love it. Hope your channel blows up, these videos deserve a lot more attention.

[@larky368]

Yes Hank would have noticed all the cars still there and should have informed them he was locking up. You obviously don't know Hank.

[@YouLousyKids]

I feel so bad for Jim when he stumbles into "you're the, um, the...black guy who sits at the..." as he started the call before being clear on the name. He's clearly self-conscious about it but lacking any other way to describe him. Assuming that the cleaning crew speaks Spanish is, however, not racist. It's always possible Jim has seen them before. Also, it's a cleaning crew in 21st Century America, so... I dunno, are they presumed to be Australians? (This would have been a funny place to intro Nate, though.) The person I really feel for is Toby, though. What an odd moment, and yet so human. Just an impulse he wasn't thinking through. And he literally has no way to recover from it. (At least if he were Meredith he could say he was drunk at work, for example.)

[@WelcomeToLoco]

How about this for a callback/ nod. Dwight’s nod at the 5:57 mark after Michael mentioned “Identity Theft”. Looks like you included it but forgot to mention it… or you were playing 4D chess to see who would catch it!

[@Snowaxe3D]

1.About the TIP to Security, : No its not given by Employees of the office, But Yes the company (Dunder Mifflin in this case) gives/Should give tips, Although, salary (along with tips) to security is paid by the Owner of business park, i.e. Billy or Future Dwight, 2. Getting locked in like this is true, It happened to me, We had to file tax return of our clients and it was last day, and no one informed security since we were so busy, so we got locked it, And there was nothing we could had done, It was cold night and good thing our office was not locked, so we somehow spent the whole night in office, just like Creed, Loving these Rewatch series, But also waiting for Season 5 reviews, Once Again Sorry for my English. I hope you can understand my comment

[@Mulverine]

Your English is just fine! Thanks for watching!

[@ProvencaLeGaulois]

Hahahaha you know how to get your viewers attention, that thumbnail of Toby and Pam on the bench hooked me right into the scene, had to click that no matter what.

[@Mulverine]

I loved how the yellow bar goes behind Toby. I just drew the whole situation out more.

[@ProvencaLeGaulois]

@@Mulverine Definitely, makes his arm pop out of the picture and catches the eye, instant brought back to the cringe so particular of the office, well done!

[@jeremytassin7978]

As much as I love Mindy Making (it's a lot) I just don't like that episode very much. It makes Jim and Pam look a but like idiots which they're not. And I'm not a fan of everyone vilifying them for it because in the end, they still don't have to come on Saturday so, thank you Jim!

@@ramirez4456 she got a little better, eventually..

[@bigwilly43729]

The funny part about them getting mad at Jim is that they still don't have to come in on Saturday! And it's another moment forshadowing that the office workers would inevitably turn on Jim no matter what he did when he became the manager. Crying shame the basketball player turned into a lunatic. Always thought she was cute.

[@mechengr1731]

I dont think Jim not calling Hank was 100% on Jim. Remember, Toby was the one with his number, and then Toby jumped the fence. I imagine Jim had handed the phone back to Toby before kneegate. Now, should Jim/the other characters have gotten the number off of Toby's absolutely, but then we wouldn't get Hank's reaction.

[@kdburner7356]

knee gate hahahahahahaha

Toby was still less cringey and creepy than most of the office crew.

[@williamsvidsandstuffs]

of course there is no redemption if you mention that book where people have bad days. if there was a redemption it would negate the meaning completely

[@Mulverine]

That’s a really good point! But at least in the book, the resolution has a message. The message is we all have bad days. This one dangles for most characters, and Michael’s made no sense. But...if I could go back, I think your comment is spot on! 🏆 for you!

[@particularbored6072]

Is it racist? Unless it's a fear, hatred, or aversion to someone's ethnicity the answer is no. It's instead the constantly incorrect and oversaturated use of the word. 👍🏻

I think I would have just said CNN. Most people don’t know OAN, and so it was just a simpler way of explaining it.

[@wyatth2992]

@@Mulverine I don't know how claiming they are far right is any different than claiming CNN to be far left. The easiest way to describe them would be, She is now an anchor for One America News. It kind of describes itself without you needing to editorialize.

Ok understood. I wasn’t meaning “far right” like it’s a slam or anything.

Not a fan ... move on to the next episode.

[@Sjohnson1217]

About Jim: He doesn’t man up when Toby puts his hand on his woman, just looks at it sheepishly. I think there’s another time he does the something similar. Also, he thinks he’s better than everyone else in the office. Always smirking into the camera. Well if he worked in any other office where the people weren’t cartoon characters, he’d be a zero. He’s a 6 girl hanging out with 2’s to make himself standout. Definitely my most disliked character.
