The Office: "Suit Warehouse" - Office Field Guide - S9E11

[@thatderek]

Dude, you really gonna build up that interview story then yada yada through the details??? What was the question? What happened? 😂

[@tylertownsend4074]

What was the question?!

[@skimshady]

This is certainly the earliest I’ve ever been. Looking forward to the series finale episode. Please do parks and rec after!

[@Mid-Finity]

That’s what I’m saying!

[@KingMasey]

Yeah! Parks and Rec please!!

[@slaybomb96]

David Wallace did contact Michael for some field work after they let Jan go during the Prince Family Paper episode. With Dwight being Dunder Mifflins top salesman it doesn't suprise me that an executive would contact him about a big sale

[@kommissar.murphy]

Dwight seems to be well respected in the wider corporate structure, plus he would never move to New York therefore he isn't a threat to them.

[@TheAndrewJohnBennett]

That interview story was wild

[@henrypeters5291]

Pam was right. They are the ones who put a fish tank next to a basketball hoop.

[@jordansweet8054]

Always thought it was wacky.

[@PeebeesPet]

They were looking for someone who actually makes the shot instead of a fish killer.

[@Notes-by-Jasmin]

Its taken me some time to think about why season 8 and 9 are sometimes so hard to watch, aside from the obvious absence of Michael Scott. I have narrowed it down to the fact that the storylines lack credibility. The Office was a show about everyday people in the eveyday boring grind. And the beauty of it for me was that the show didn't try and glamarise that. Because there is plenty of juice in the boring everday grind without trying hard to dramatise it. And in season 8 and 9, they totally lose track of that. This episode is one of the few where we see that boring everyday grind return with Dwight on a sales visit. But its offset with Jim working hard and nailing it at his new business venture, which looks pretty polished for a start up, when anyone who has owned a business knows thats rarely the case. Pam makes a comment about seeing the beauty in the ordinary in the final episode, and that sentiment is lost in these last 2 seasons as the plots become too large to be ordinary anymore. I think as a result of this the show feels less relatable and hence less enjoyable to watch. I acknowledge that the plots have been gradually getting larger through the seasons but the last two seasons feel like they went off the rails.

[@yorsyhernandez88]

Do Parks and Recreation next PLEASE

[@jordansweet8054]

Man, your best story since the door to door salesman story. I love Dwight and Clark together, it's nice to have Daryl as a focus again and as a coffee addict, I love the office main plot. Best use of the seat fillers in ages. Erin is really funny when she's not doing Pam shtick or girl Andy shtick .

[@achievmntstudios]

I honestly have been rewatching your videos as a comfort show along with the office, so bravo on all the hard work man. Side note: this season was so rough, and I honestly think it’s because the characters these writers developed have just outgrown themselves. The naive and early personalities have time to grow and develop and at some point the growth kinda gets stunted with age. It’s just sad that they didn’t figure out a way to tie these knots with a little more dignity with some of the main plot points. Still one of my all time favorite shows even with its imperfections. Just sad.

[@Cardinal-Lion]

So what was the answer to the interview question? There has to be more clarity on this

[@sarahmcdonald9624]

I want to know the question lol

[@onis]

Your interview at redbox sounds like my interview at apple.

[@rubberlover666]

No stranger to awkward interviews. I once interviewed for a part-time warehouse job packing up lamps to be shipped. I was in school at the time and the owner kept asking me what my passion was. I kept responding "it's what I'm going to school for." But he kept pressing. I assumed he wanted me to say "my passion is packing up lamps?!" but I never did as I figured if this guy was weird now, he must be a nightmare to work for. I also had an early Zoom interview back in 2016 where the interviewer showed up in workout clothes and started making a smoothie halfway through. Didn't work out. Oddly enough, I assumed I had bombed the interview for my current job as I was angling for another potion at the time so was pretty short and frank during the interview as I figured I would never get this position. Turns out, they liked that?! So here I am.

[@happiness4812]

7:19 aww Gabe😂😂😂

[@gerwique3146]

Keep up the great work king!

[@vdarkwraith]

parks and rec next please!

[@idklol117]

Love the channel!

[@Bretkane]

I know you focus on workplace shows but it's like a dream of mine that somebody someday covers seinfeld the way you do the office

[@njf11-]

Hell yeah

[@tinas_hotdog_sophie]

because I haven't watched the offie in a while and you and the Office Ladies are in season 9 now, I randonly forget Steve Carrel was in that show.

[@familysmith570]

Is it me or does S8 and 9 feel kinda like a spinoff?

[@skimshady]

Also please tell us the interview question I wanna know!

[@Mulverine]

It’s a lot to unpack. Too much for the already long bit in a long video. “If Redbox ran a marketing campaign sending dynamic text messages customers, how would we measure success?” This was in 2012ish (I think), so the tools and cross-channel measurement wasn’t as developed as they are now. I went theoretical the first time. I went very technical the second time. I went crazy after that.

[@onis]

The answer seems pretty straightforward. If they're offering coupons, or some kind of code, measure the amount of codes vs the amount of redemptions you get. However, you should probably define success criteria. Is 30% a good success rate? 50%? Or if it's just a text creating awareness, measure the amount of people who actually rented after getting a text. How many of the customers were lapsed? How many came back sooner than they normally would have? There are plenty of ways to slice this data and situation, so it's odd that they wanted something so specific. I would have just kept trying different angles until something landed.

[@skimshady]

@@onis did u mean to reply to me or mulverine?

[@onis]

@@skimshady whoever is willing to read it lol

[@Mulverine]

I gave them my best stuff. It was useless. The way the guy kept hanging on my answer was like he was waiting for me to say, “JARGON KEYWORD” and then he’d know I was him.

[@Uptheroyals80]

I’d love every episode tierlsit

[@hollyragsdale5137]

KZbin, please be nice to Mulverine. He is one of the few reasons i ever come and watch KZbin videos.

[@jacktaylor6155]

😂 them random memes boi 🌤

[@Mid-Finity]

Love it! Please to Parks and Rec or Arrested Development next!

[@cherylcampbell9369]

The fish tank bit makes me laugh repeatedly.

[@grandmaknarf]

I liked the concept of doing a fun role play sales call but it’s just so bogged down by the Dwight jr bs that the last half just becomes unbearable on rewatch. I really feel like this episode peaks with a goofy Jim Dwight montage.

[@NG-pl4lp]

Another great video. I really like this episode too - partly at least because it's the last one before the trouble in Halpert paradise really explodes (as a big old romantic softy I find Pamothy tensions very hard work so a lot of their scenes from Customer Loyalty through to about Stairmageddon are difficult for me). The Darryl basketball moment is indeed great though personally I can barely watch it because of the high cringe factor. Up there with Phyllis' wedding, Cece's baptism, and Jim v Charles Miner (weirdly enough I can happily watch Dinner Party all the way through and even most of Scott's Tots).

[@enjoymoreproductions]

i’d imagine after the office you’re gonna cover Parks and Rec or Superstore one of the offices successors

[@sophiaruizuvalle2523]

Or Abbott Elementary

[@enjoymoreproductions]

@@sophiaruizuvalle2523 or abbott elementary

[@kommissar.murphy]

3:38 do you think they chickened out of a village people gag here? Dwight already has a cop uniform,and would probably refuse to wear an Indian uniform for some unexpected reason?

[@justjamie5006]

Dwight having a mini suit in his possession is completely realistic, this is the same guy who has a wig and a off it for everyone in the office. Sometimes I feel like you just like to overly hate on these later seasons just because Steve cares isn’t there, I’ve seen other mention this too and I feel you complain about stuff that you wouldn’t complain over in earlier seasons

[@ScarletSerenade]

Okay but as an HR corporate drone, I need to know, like, WHAT WAS THE QUESTION???

[@daniellopez3410]

Dude you gotta do parks and Rec !

[@Mibbitmaker]

Your interview experience reminds me of that Monty Python sketch of an job interview with Cleese and Chapman. All I can say is... if the personnel guy lifts a tiny bell and starts to sing with a demented grin on his face, just GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!

[@raspar6]

I 100% think that that interview question was designed to get smart answers out of people that they never planned to hire - they were desperate for big ideas to save their business! That, or maaaybe it was a test of your resiliency, like to see how many different answers you would throw out...

[@Mulverine]

That’s been a take I’ve heard a few times. I think I’ve settled he was expecting me to just say a keyword I was missing because it was important to him to know that I know that tech. Or he was just a bad interviewer

[@raspar6]

@@Mulverine Yeah I mean either way he's a bad interviewer... From what I saw of the question in another comment it seems very open-ended. Could be interpreted in terms of raw numbers, or in terms of convenient ways to measure those numbers, or in terms of philosophy (like what does "success" mean to our company?), or in terms of the psychology of the consumer, or in other ways that you might know of more than me! If you at least knew which of those categories he was interested in, that would help narrow down what sort of key words he was looking to find, but otherwise it's probably just too broad of a question to know...

[@fernalicious]

Do Community next.

[@jordansweet8054]

Yes yes yes!

[@haydenquilty444]

talk about modern family not much content about it on yt but definitely still has an audience.

[@Neyshtradamus]

🎉🎉🎉 this episode was horrific in my memory database

[@louishart6725]

Did the janitor passing by the board get the interview question right?

[@coen-t4k]

When is ted lasso 2 review?

[@Mulverine]

It’s written! Hopefully filming this week

[@lando6420]

Telling that story and not saying the question or the answer should be illegal

What’s the interview question??

nice

[@chrisgeorge141]

Buddy you must do parks and rec

[@adammorris5731]

So... What was the interview question?

[@bettsielou1975]

What was the question?

[@agsequeiram]

I love you getting off script today

[@gabosie7e777]

I've been saying this for years. Season 9 is bad... until the last 2 episodes. Even S8 feels more like the clasic office, although Michale is not there.

[@Forriedude]

Interviews, man.

[@ronaldbanks-mw2ou]

A good episode? Is it Really?

[@gracefulgrizzly39]

Erin is so annoying in this episode

[@squidlivers5677]

#sixseasonsandafieldguide Sorry I'm late

Season 9 has "cat turd collector" written all over it
