[@bensneb360]

I find it hilarious that Jim spend years pining after Pam, transferred branches because it hurt to be around her, gave up a corporate job, and a girlfriend for her, gave that wonderful speech to Dwight about her… and about 40 minutes into this dinner party he’s ready to abandon her with no regrets, that’s how awkward Michael and Jan are lol

[@QqQq-fy3wg]

you're freaking precious

[@wetsocks4460]

@@QqQq-fy3wgaw thank you haha

[@ammash3000]

That fact that this manages not to diminish the sweetness of their relationship is a testament to the writer’s abilities of cringe

[@Fairytaleenthusiat86]

I read this exact same comment on tv tropes- where you the one who wrote that episode’s recap?

[@harumistborn]

One of the best episodes, a masterpiece of cringe.

[@kalecccxi333]

It's extremely overrated. There's so many better episodes, this one was just.. awkward. And not in the funny way.

[@jonathanhamlet1942]

Yessss

[@NavsangeetSingh]

Scott's Tots is the one for me 😅

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

@@NavsangeetSingh Scotts tots feels really overhyped. I'd heard of it before watching the show and assumed it was something like a Dunder Mifflin sponsored child beauty pageant or something and Michael would make himself look like a creep. Phyllis's wedding was the worst one IMO, I just wanted to punch Michael.

did you notice the awesome imagery with the fire behind her, and her wearing red , while she says "i am the devil"

[@thejoeyjason]

Angela's line was MY FAVORITE of this episode.

[@Naramiss2396]

@@prateekm1995Angela and Jenna talk about how all the candles are going with the fire and all the red is to symbolize jan is the devil and that is hell and really push it and then she improved the fingers to make horns while saying the line and even her kitchen wear was red but we didn’t really get to see it bc many kitchen scenes were cut

[@hayscollins5867]

Jim (John Krasinski) probally had the hardest job in this episode. It’s all just dead face horror yet it was one of the funniest episodes.

[@ManSeekingMeaning]

He sold the fuck out of his performance, absolutely, and got the most laughs out of me, but I also think Jan's actress having to match the sheer comedic genius of Steve Carrell was the MVP this episode.

[@ela7354]

“Jan you need therapy” The problem is she does go to therapy but her therapist is just as insane. Remember when Michael mentioned that she films them having sex to review it with her therapist?

[@RaymundDelRosario]

The tv bit makes me break into uncontrollable laughter just thinking of it.

[@halgari]

Many of the cast members say this is their favorite episode, they could hardly get through several scenes from laughing so hard. Also so many great quotes in this episode: "snip-snap-snip-snap!"

[@dynamodan8216]

This was the first episode they filmed after the 2007 writers guild strike, so they were super excited to finally get to see each other again and really went for it.

[@augxman]

Pams reaction to Dwights entrance is the BEST "😮" "awesome"

[@johan_94]

Diversity day - ✅ Dinner Party - ✅ Scott's tots - ❎ Since the day you guys started reacting to the office, I was specifically waiting for this checklist

[@chaddon7685]

​@ANIMATIONWEB3 100%. I still remember the first time I watched it - being in my room on my bed, screaming into my pillow via extreme secondhand embarrassment. I feel bad for Michael in that one; he's completely genuine and just an idiot who wants everyone to like him and sticks his foot in his mouth.

[@islandsensation]

So glad the whole couch was here for this, and the reactions didn't disappoint! You made me feel like I was watching this for the first time.

[@thejoeyjason]

yes me too. I laughed and reacted the same way they reacted for the first time watching this episode.

[@JamesJones-ts5fl]

If they reacted this much to this one, ST is gonna tear a hole in the universe lol

[@layedbackthomas]

My only time rewatching that ep will be when they get there lol. Too cringe to watch it when im rewatching myself haha.

Hope the whole group is there for that one too.

The legendary episode. Was patiently waiting for this episode. The police recommending for Michael to go to some friends and no one but Dwight accepting was a bruh moment.

Wasn’t Dwight simply the first to offer?

[@terihammond1579]

I love how Mickey is just dying inside laughing knowing what is coming in certain scenes. lol

This might be my favorite episode. It gets less cringy and more hilarious the more you watch it.

[@swamprat6666]

This is my favorite ❤️

[@BCrall]

I wish Scott’s Tots was the same way but I still can’t watch that one.

[@TheKannibalistic]

I've never seen Chris shed so many tears in one episode lol

[@MishaHusnainAli]

I hope Mickey sees this and if he hasn't already, he can make sure we have everyone along for Scott's Tots because we need to see the peak cringe episode of television of possibly all time with all of you

[@highwind1991]

This is easily my favorite episode of The office. This is as good as TV comedy gets. It's perfect

[@kunalpandey683]

What about stress relief part 1

[@stormhawk3319]

Andy’s naivety in that he’s total oblivious to the toxic atmosphere and enjoying the evening.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

Oh yes! Three is a whole other dimension of what is going on here, in the fight between Angela and Dwight, and then using other people like Andy to make the other jealous and hurt them. 🤕😢

[@thejoeyjason]

Dinner Party is such an ICONIC episode. Another one of ICONIC ones is obviously Stress Relief of Season 5. Also look out for that.

[@phonglua]

I thought Chris was going to fold into himself at a couple points.

[@HighLordBlazeReborn]

Straight up implode like the submarine lol

[@ThatWTVGuy]

Sad they seemed to miss one of the funniest lines in the entire series. "Strictly carnal, that's all you need to know" - Dwight, about his childhood babysitter

[@IsaJulia]

The physical reactions of Chris and Spidey is my absolute favorite part of these uploads. 🤣

[@Mushruums]

The video camera is a call back to Women’s Appreciation day episode where Michael says Jan records them having sex and then makes him watch it back so he can see how he can improve himself

[@jakelover1731]

It's a woman thing.

[@brianalambert1192]

This episode is a masterpiece. It's so fun to watch Jan's descent into madness, cause she was pretty close to normal at the start of the show. I blame the therapist who told her to indulge in her self destructive tendencies and then decided it was appropriate to analyze her sex tapes with Michael. It honestly makes you wonder what he's telling her

[@Skeezer66]

Only a sex therapist might say they need to see a sex tape, and even then probably not. That person is 100% using it as their porn material!

[@mackyronni]

Don’t forget she took Hunter’s virginity and he wrote a song about it

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

The super fan episode makes her REALLY crazy. The original idea they wrote for Jan in the episode made her straight evil.

[@theInsaneDoctor]

This episode taught me about telling a story through visuals. Anything related to Jan is red and anything related to Michael is blue. From the clothes to the red painting michael takes down to the blue neo sign he puts on its place

[@civilpython]

It's funny how the word "cringe" has been associated with this show when people see it for the first time now. Yet when the show was airing it was just down right funny. I still don't see the cringe of it all, it's just truly great situational comedy writing.

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

mickey dying on the inside, chris dying on the outside, and even pat cringing away from the tv a bit; this was worth the wait 🤣

[@ashleyhaas3606]

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it but this episode is based on a play called “who’s afraid of Virginia Wolf” a play about this horrible dysfunctional relationship

[@frogofbrass382]

This was arguably one of the most difficult episodes for the cast to film. Practically everyone kept breaking due to the humor of the episode (based on bloopers, it's amazing they got any good takes from showing off the plasma tv), plus it was the first episode filmed after a month's long writer's strike. Also, Angela Kinsey was very pregnant at the time, so they needed to work extra hard to hide it (such as carrying the giant bouquet of flowers).

[@Dannydarko27]

Michael when he was venting to the girls: She likes to record when we do it and plays it back for her therapist Normies: Is that a camera😮😮 Never change my friends, never change💙

The way Chris is having a fullblown hyperventilating asthma attack watching this🤣

[@aidangreen7006]

We spent a full week studying this episode in my Screenwriting class at UT Austin. It’s one of the few completely perfect episodes of television ever written. It never, ever gets less funny, and 100% of the humor is based on characters’ relation to one another.

[@AlanSizzlerKistler]

What's really frustrating about Jan having two rooms is that the office Michael said she never uses has a desk chair that STILL HAS PLASTIC WRAP ON THE ARMS. She has literally never sat in it. And I agree with Mickey, I don't know that Michael said he and Pam dated, he lies sometimes but not like that. It seems more likely to me that Jan has decided Pam's a rival and so is fishing to see if they have a past Michael hasn't told her about. There are definitely toxic people who do that due to their own insecurities.

[@teksnotdead902]

The outtakes from this episode are also amazing. Michael pushing the tv into the wall especially.

[@neabby]

"Oaky afterbirth" 😂😂

[@ManSeekingMeaning]

It's here. Arguably my favorite episode of The Office to show people. It's so wrong, so raw, so right. "Oaky afterbirth" is literally how I've cheekily described every red wine I've tasted (among quite a few other things) ever since I saw this episode back in high school. And, to be fair, that's one of the LEAST funny moments of this episode. That's how fricken good/cringe/hilarious this episode is. Great job, Normies. I'm glad you all enjoyed it and made time for it. And props to the editor for squeezing so many scenes into the edit. You're the MVP. PS. Jim and Pam are literally me and my wife when we're with friends or in-laws who get into it heavily. Not quite at the Chris phase of blatantly saying they're uncomfortable and leaving, but getting there.

[@proctologistbarbie]

oh good I’m not the only person who still quotes “oaky afterbirth” when drinking a glass of red 😂

[@brandonhiebert2012]

Finally! Superb reaction! Thanks for watching it all together. Now the wait for Scott’s Tots.

[@benderdelkarma9183]

I´am a spaniard and it is true, we usually dinner at 9-10-11PM. We woke up at 7:00AM and we open the shops around 8:00AM after lunch (2:00PM-3:00PM) we take a break for 2 hours and then open everything again until midnight Sundays is the lord´s day so we close everything, it is like the jew shabbat. I love your reactions! Greetings from Seville!

[@yulianstarr]

Fun fact: The actress playing Angela was pregnant during this episode so they cover her belly. If you look at each shot she's in, there's the stairs, the flowers, her purse on her lap, to hide the baby bump. I saw it in a behind the scenes special, pretty cool camera work!
