Nepotism - The Office Field Guide

[@martidodger7106]

I love Jim’s goofy “peanuts” dance at the end, only because it came about because Rainn dared John to do it

[@Mulverine]

Yes! And Phillis is doing the same dance from Cafe Disco (similar at least)

[@Mehwhatevr]

Darrel didn’t do the print in all colors program because he had his entire life to do it. He only has one more summer with his knees to play softball

[@jordansweet8054]

Crap! I didn't remember that. Good continuity.

For the cold opening.. my favourite was Pam, it was nice to see her let loose

"Ryan you make it so hard to love you sometimes.." gets me every time in the cold open

[@mattdewberry5728]

17:45 Andy did a Creed cartwheel in basically the same place Creed did his!

[@philipmyrick]

It’s always bothered me that Darryl has nothing in his coffee cup. It just looks like it has no weight to it when he lifts it to his mouth.

[@mrpopsful]

Why didn't Quicksilver run away?!

[@Jaegerborn]

He didn’t see it coming.

[@michaelbarker6732]

I always found it weird that everyone is talking about what they did over summer. As far as i know work doesn’t stop during the summer does it?

[@djCatScanRL]

Subtle, ongoing joke imo 😆

[@sunnyyyyyyyyyy]

i guess the documentary crew does

[@DasZombieProductions]

Great job Chris! Wr had a guy just like Luke in our warehouse last year... similar stories same attitude

[@seanA416]

Yikes! Haha

[@themoneypromethod465]

LUKE IS JEFFREY DAHMER holy crap just realized that

[@rustyguacamole]

The thing you describe with an bird's eye display and all the pawns showing movement, industry usually calls it a camera map. Maybe you can ask some of the people from the episode if they made or still have anything like that! :)

[@lesliejenkins4855]

7:06 unless it’s greys anatomy and by season 7 they’ve killed off three characters and 3 characters have disappeared.

[@Sweetpea1128]

This is my favorite cold open. That is a song from my era, like 1968. It was done so well by the cast that the song seems timeless. I liked Stanley’s part. It was small, but it showed him being part of the group and having a little fun which I feel is a bit of a departure for his character. The other episodes where Stanley joined in with fun were the meatball episode and the “…and shove it up your butt” episode. 🤣

[@well-dressed-bird]

So easy to forget that it's Evan Peters.

[@noahatlas5240]

Your face is so friendly & nice to look at

[@pendragon2012]

Personally, I think it kind of shows Michael hasn't grown at all. Once again the only reason he finally punishes Luke is because Luke's poor performance is affecting the coworkers' attitudes towards HIM. If there's no consequences to him personally, he really doesn't care.

[@djCatScanRL]

🤣

[@mfmfmf77]

I’d like to point out that a half-sibling isn’t the same as a step-sibling. Half-siblings share one parent. Steps are the children of your parent’s spouse from previous relationships. As a child from a second marriage I consider my half-siblings, aka my father’s two kids from his first marriage my siblings. We have the same dad, same last name. We’re not steps.

[@Mulverine]

Yeah I realized I was using the words interchangeably when I was editing. Think I said “step part of his family” and meant the part of his family which is a result of his step father.

[@peggysue1725]

Dude why so few likes and followers, The Algorithm better pick you up soon - you have amazing talent at editing, I've been binge-watching for days. You should Get Paid.

[@silhy37]

Not a big fan of this cold opening, I think is just a filler. Well executed though

[@spencergrout6320]

Wdym filler? All cold opens are filler lol

[@CitroWn38]

@@spencergrout6320 some cold opens introduce what will happen during the episode. This one is totally disconnected from the rest of the whole serie

[@allanshpeley4284]

Agreed. It's like the writer tried to delegate his job to the actors, director and camera crew instead of trying to actually write something funny. Maybe the writer is related to someone high up in NBC and that's the actual joke in the cold open.

[@jerilane4420]

Haha people on here hating on opening and then youtube has 13 million views!! it is a hoot and shows how these actors get along so well

The nepotism is wide spread problem on the regim because you like it or not besides AOC and Paul Gosar there is noone that put half of effort like them and gosar even fail on the rep. Speaker and still more competent or caring about his cause every else is a joke and i guess the florida guy gatz ,gates? Idk how is supposed to be spell his name

Now nepotism is Objective GOOD bad for everyone else but GREAT for one self and a good way to start a generational wealth and aquire skills saying "ah but is coz of you dad or mom" is cope is bad if you don't use that opportunity lbh you have worst issues to deal with it there is no point to be fair with people is that is going to drag you down and affect your wealth

[@johnparker4484]

Lol you talk about trump… while our current leader’s crackhead son uses his dad’s position to get all kinds of unqualified advantages, and give him a cut

[@shannonceleste5557]

? What happened?

[@user-tq3rr8vy2w]

None of his children is working in the White House. But okay.

[@allanshpeley4284]

I hated the cold opening - I'd say it's probably the worst of any episode. It may be impressive that the actors, director and camera crew were able to pull it off, but it felt like a copout to me. Cold opens are meant to be funny and are probably some of the hardest content to write on The Office. This wasn't funny at all. It's like the writers were trying to outsource their job to the rest of the team this episode. 0/5.

[@toddbertram6556]

Hated this opening. Always skip.

[@Rouzhianna]

The fact that Toby is the cameraman, because Michael did not want him to take part in this

[@janabanana2884]

I imagine the conversation to be like everyone wanting and forcing Michael to let Toby participate but he's like "I don't want you to ruin this thing with your face in front of the camera so why don't you just get behind the camera?"

[@Rationalmethod995]

"Well, that was better"

[@dyecyde]

[@elanzankman4399]

Oof. I guess the answer is "really badly"

[@skiprockjr.6881]

Nepotism is in the bottom half of Office episodes for me, but The Office is in the same category as sex and pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. 8 out of 10 for me.

[@Scorpia__]

Thats a pretty good ranking system xD

what would be the lowest rank you could give an office episode?

Aww you had to ruin it. Stopped watching the second you said Trump. Leave your politics at home. Dislike 👎

[@Mulverine]

Not to argue, because…do your thing…but I just called out what some folks had a problem with. Is mentioning a common complaint against a former president as a tool to explain the concept of nepotism truly too much to handle?

[@travishutchison6459]

@@MulverineNot a dig, but I believe you're being disingenuous here. There are thousands of other examples outside of politics you could have chosen. You chose the most divisive subject (politics) and the most divisive figure within that subject. There's a reason grandma always said not to bring your politics and religion to the dinner table. I don't personally care about your politics and that's the point. I wanna hear your greatly entertaining theories on the office and your overly thought out character details, those are fantastic! No one wants to hear politics anymore especially after all these years of "trump so bad" and now every second is "biden so bad... Trump so worse.." it's time to shut it off already thats the lowest hanging fruit possible and you're better than that. I like you and I like your videos normally. I also appreciate you responding and considering your viewers opinions.

[@Mulverine]

Hey - I didn't take it as a dig...well...the "dislike" and the thumbs down emoji cut deep (joking). But I'm actually genuinely curious. I'm not being disingenuous or coy. It was one sentence that I could use to draw in the feelings on the topic of nepotism quickly regardless which side of the issue someone may reside. Really seems like fair territory.

[@travishutchison6459]

@@Mulverine I'll give you that the emoji may have been a step too far on my part lol. I feel as though this is probably an agree to disagree situation, given that my tone can be difficult to suss out in text. As I said I'm a big fan of you and your channel. The fact that you engaged with me on this makes me appreciate you and the work you do even more. If I have anything else to add in the future I'll try to be a lil nicer about it.

No worries about niceness! Thanks for the kind words and watching
