Toby Killed this Bird... | "Grief Counseling" The Office S3E4 | BEST FRIENDS FIRST TIME REACTION

[@jmelamp3926]

“Toby killed this bird”😂😂

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@jmelamp3926That line is sooo flippin' funny. Toby should really report Michael to HR, lol

[@callmejt7711]

Picking up the leaves and blowing them over is crazy 😂

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@callmejt7711 Lmao, right? I was dying while we were shooting that. That leaf blower has a frickin' jet turbine, it's so good.

[@dinogarofalo100]

I love how you mentioned Ed Truck died by a truck. Maybe they should have called him BeheadED Truck.

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@dinogarofalo100 Ooo, now you're cookin'! Haha. It's honestly so interesting that they did that. They named him Ed Truck earlier in the show. They could have decapitated him ANY way. I'd be curious to know if the irony was intentional or not, since they don't really draw attention or cracks a joke about the Truck connection.

[@JakeTheSnake-e4d]

I've watched this show so many times, it runs in the background of my house now lol. I never caught the grandfather being reburied tidbit being a continuation of the tuxedo family heirloom. That's awesome! 😂

[@NeighBROSreact]

Yesss!! I love that you never noticed that, either. Happy I could help find that piece to the puzzle for us, lol. I've watched these first seasons a few times, too, but that was my first time ever catching that. I bet there are a tooon of little jokes/connections like that throughout the series.

[@LucilaC1998]

My cat of 11 years passed away two months ago. You honestly take it one day at a time, some days ill just look at pictures of him and cry, other days i remember how sweet he was and i cant help but smile. I got used to the fact that he wasnt going to be around anymore about a month after his passing, but sometimes it still feels weird or surreal. Dont know if i answered the question but wtv, hope you had a great christmas!

[@NeighBROSreact]

I'm sorry to hear that, Lucila. Thank you so much for sharing here. It's never easy losing a pet. I lost my dog at the very beginning of this year. The anniversary will be January 3rd. He was my best friend. Tonight I drove home late at night and for the first time in a long time, I had that familiar pang of "I wish he was there waiting for me." But we'll always have our memories. We can tap into those warm feelings any time we choose, and in that way we keep them alive. Sending you my best wishes. May your cat fare well in the next journey. Hoping you've had some brighter days these holidays!

[@LucilaC1998]

@ im sorry for your loss! Regardless, hope you both have great holidays, thanks for all the amazing content

[@Voidaken]

27:00 This joke is particularly funny because when it aired, Bird Flu was running rampant.

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@Voidaken What's even funnier is that you have a bird avatar, lol

[@BrokeHighMan]

Ooh boy, a lil hangover cure in the form of a NeighBros video! I'll take it. Glad to hear your Xmas days went well. As always, keep up the great shtuff my dudes!

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@BrokeHighMan We're happy to help ya out, buddy! Nothing like some good NeighBroly cheer. Hope you're feeling better now after some grief counseling!

[@laurenherda2415]

Merry Christmas ❤ Season 3 has my favorite Christmas episode 😂 The Office has the best Christmas episodes in general

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@laurenherda2415 Merry Christmas, Lauren! 🎄 Yesss, omg. The Benihana episode is incredible. I'm stoked to watch that together. This season gets sooo flippin' good.

[@TX427LFC]

Y'all may get to this later in the reaction, but this hits Michael so hard because he is worried that no one will miss him when he's gone. He sees himself as the dad of his office family and no one cares that granddad died

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@TX427LFC We definitely discuss exactly this! But thanks for tossing your two cents in about it :) Poor Michael... he just wants to be loved. Good on Pam for always coming in clutch for him.

[@Memnohc]

Grief is the scar tissue of the soul. Ben is right, it never fully dissapears but it heals to a certain extent and then you just learn to live with it. This isn't exactly the same as grief but a year ago my gf stepped outta my life, without any warning or explanation and ignored all my attempts to contact her including a wellness check by police. After months of holding out hope i officially broke up with her via voice mail. She Immediately called me back and I found out that she left because she had cheated on me and felt guilty. The irony is that I would have forgiven her once for that and tried to move on with our relationship. Her sudden absence was vary similar to what it would have felt like if she had died and I mourned the death of our relationship

[@NeighBROSreact]

Ya know, man, I actually had something extremely similar happen to me. You're right, it isn't the same thing as what most of us would consider "grief," but it really is very similar. That was an awful thing for her to do to you. I have no idea how a person can put someone else through that sort of trauma, especially someone they claimed to love or care about. It shows so much emotional immaturity and blatant disrespect. I'm so sorry she put you through that. I genuinely do understand that kind of pain, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I just have to say - God forbid you ever find yourself in a situation like that again where you have a partner cheat on you... don't give them a second chance. Don't even consider it. When someone does that to another person, it's the clearest indicator they can deliver that they weren't happy with the relationship. That they don't respect you. If they were or if they did, it never would have been a consideration. A lot of people simply aren't good at relationships. They have issues they need to deal with and sort out inside themselves. Whether they ever will or not is another story. It's such a strong feeling to not want to be alone, after having the comfort and love of someone we thought we could trust in. That's why it's usually not good to let emotions lead your decisions. They'll steer you the wrong way 7 times out of 10. Thank you for sharing your story. I truly hope that the scar is healing and that you're focused on yourself the way you should be. Obviously she wasn't the girl you were meant to be with, otherwise you two would still be together. She obviously shouldn't have ghosted you or put you through all that grief, worry, and stress, but thankfully now you know for sure and can really begin to heal and move forward. The girl you're meant to be with is still out there, waiting for you. Brighter days ahead, friend. ♥

[@jacqueef93]

I can’t even get past the intro. Joe angrily chucking the leaves over the fence has me screaming 😂😂😂 yall are insane lmfao

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@jacqueef93 Hahaha, imagine how much I was cackling in the editing room last night 😂 Omg. So glad you enjoyed the opening. We loved shooting that footage. The full clips are hilarious. Watching him start by blowing leaves around his yard normally, then slowly approaching my fence and progressively becoming more and more unhinged. At one point he whips a stick into my yard, lmao 😂 That was a great day, haha

[@Liz-mm1sy]

Grief is simply an expression of love. But it never goes away all the way.

[@NeighBROSreact]

Agreed with you there. It's like a mirrored, negative aspect of love. An expression of love that comes from loss. But yeah, you're right. At its core is still love.

[@Liz-mm1sy]

@ it’s kind of crazy if you think about it. You can’t fully rid yourself of the grief, because that’s the love you keep with you.

[@NeighBROSreact]

@@Liz-mm1sy It really is, you're exactly right. Wow. Yeahh, phrasing it like that really helps put it into perspective. It really shows how important it is what Michael said near the end of the episode. Talking about there being such a thing as "good grief." Eventually reaching the point where that grief becomes warmer, easier to embrace, and filling us with good feelings and memories instead of making us lament them. That's the love you keep with you. I like that.

[@Liz-mm1sy]

@@NeighBROSreact me too. Michael’s more insightful than I thought!

[@doushannon2799]

The garden situation....look, you have to understand, its so much easier to throw the leaves into your garden. Some call it laziness, but it attests highly strategic thinking, so applaud him for it 😁

[@NeighBROSreact]

Hahaha! You're right, Doush. Joe's just a high-level strategist giving me the best gardening tips possible. I just wish he asked first and I didn't have to find out on my security cams... but hey, not gonna spit on free labor! Thanks for the extra hand, Joe! lol Ya know, despite all the EXTRA leaves that SOB tossed over my fence, this is the first year I've actually decided to leave leaves in my garden. In my head it's always made sense to do, but for whatever reason I usually get most of 'em out.

[@Jermrants]

Ur on point about that Dwight rebury joke it’s the first time I’ve clocked it after hundreds of rewatches 😂

[@nicole20000]

LMAO I always love your skits lol😂

[@Muzz21]

Haven’t had a parent/sibling pass away, so maybe 3 minutes tops to get over someone passing

[@NeighBROSreact]

Good for you and your family! May that day never come ♥

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

When was that leaves footage shot? There’s no way that was shot in Chicago in December.

[@NeighBROSreact]

You'd be surprised! Our yards still look like this, lol - albeit, with less leaves. Regardless, you're still right, though - haha. We shot this in November! We came up with the joke back then and wanted to get the footage while the leaves were fresh. Figured it would work to pick an episode later and just say "I was looking at old security footage and guess what I saw..." Good eye, Mr. Andrew. Good eye.

[@xtremejay2000]

There are some great genuine moments in this goofball show. Pam recognizing the legit thing that is upsetting Michael and really steps up without airing to everyone. Dying alone is something I think we all struggle with sometimes. Sure this problem stems a bit from Micheal NEED to be liked by everyone but it was a legit concern that no one would care if he died. This is one of the examples of how great Pam is. Especially with handling Micheal. But....in the future Micheal really steps up and returns the favor to Pam.

[@NeighBROSreact]

The emotional, genuine moments between characters is exactly what makes this series so special. So silly, so goofy, but also so endearing. The perfect amount it should be. Pam's moments of consideration for others are some of my favorites. Especially when it comes to Michael. She might be a totally disoriented, confused Siren who has no regard for twisting and toying with Jim's heart, but she's very perceptive (at least when it doesn't come to men) and usually does her best to be there for others when no one else will be.

[@xtremejay2000]

@NeighBROSreact I can only tolerate the Pam slander for so long....... I keed I keed. I am a little biased when it come to Pam though I will admit. I saw a bit too much of myself in Jim back when the show aired and Pam reminded me SO much of a good friend in high school that I also had a huge crush on but just thought she couldn't be into me. We were really good buddies in the one class we had together.....but she had a boyfriend. I know now that she was flirting but I was too oblivious and just couldn't believe she liked me. Well. They broke up about a month before prom. So I asked her to prom......and she said yes but it was "just as friends" because just out of a relationship and blah blah blah. So we did. I was too chicken to try to tell her how I felt. I blew the perfect setting to tell her. Then she got back with her boyfriend and then we all graduated. Ran into her in my late 20's and she was married with a kid. One of the first things she said was that she loved that I took her to prom but though more would come of it because SHE had a huge crush on ME. I laughed it off while my innerself wanted to go play in traffic over what could have been. So I identify with the Jim/Pam thing a little too much. So it's scews my view juuust a bit. But shevisca perfect angel and don't you dare call her a siren...........I mean.....ahem great reaction. Keep it up. 😆

[@xtremejay2000]

I gotta say. Joe seems much more comfortable lately. I don't mean to imply anything bad about that as far as older videos go but he seems to be loosening up. I had the tiny impression from the first bit of neighbros that MAYBE this whole thing was your idea (Ben) and Joe was like "yeah I guess I will do this. I mean I don't really want to be a youtuber but sure I will watch the office with you and let you record it and post it" Now he seems fully on board. He seems excited to do it. Promotes stuff on instagram (I don't insta myself but....) and seems to just be more involved. Again not saying anything about him was bad in the first videos. I wouldn't have subbed after vid one if there was. Just notice a change in him. Seems happy and I hope he is. Ben, you are still the nicest and coolest content creator I have ever interacted with on here. Well, at least as far as ones you can be real with. They all are nice as long as you are 100 supportive, positive and basically a sycophant. I am never worried about getting an a hole response if I (constructively) criticize something or don't agree or whatever. I know this has turned into one big butt kissing message but you guys are great. Keep on keepin on. I wish so much success for this channel, mainly so we can get more than 1 episode of The Office in a week.

[@NeighBROSreact]

Well, snap, Jay... how do I even begin to reply to something like this? This is seriously so thoughtful and sweet to read. And don't worry, definitely not thinking you're implying anything bad. I agree, Joe is becoming comfier and having an easier, better time embracing our recording sessions. Not to say that he hasn't before, though! Or that there ever was a time where he didn't. While your first tiny impression about us and our channel may have a BIT of truth to it, Joe's always been super supportive and invested in working on this channel. Before we ever started shooting at all he came over to my garage and we spent a whole afternoon planning out how we'd arrange things and set up the green screen. He comes into every single shoot with a great attitude, high energy, and the drive to make fun content. But yeah, he's definitely warming up even more. It's really cool to see. I'm grateful to have such a fun, reliable creative partner to go on this adventure with. While it did feel near the beginning like this was MY idea and it was just going to be a test run, it really has morphed into something that we're both just as devoted to, even if one of us has more time to work on the channel than the other. We have nothing but understanding, respect, and gratitude toward one another. Duuude, I really do appreciate the kind words. For real. All I ever do around here is "be myself." It feels good to know that's appreciated. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love engaging with our audience on here. I feel like we do a lot, but I want to more and more. In 2025 I'm going to try and think of more, better ways to keep doing that. Discord is definitely gonna be a big piece in that!! And yes, you're absolutely right. I seriously welcome the constructive feedback. Frankly, I wish that MORE of our Neighbors did. We've had a small handful of people try to really put us down and talk crap about us for bantering so much or talking about things unrelated to the content. And an even smaller number of people who've lent actual feedback in a kind way. Most people just don't say anything at all or they only say nice things. I would looove to know more about the things people don't like about our videos. In an ideal world, we could have a conversation with our entire audience to really cut to the core of what works and what doesn't with people. Wanna think of ways to seek those answers in the new year, as well. So, if there's anything on the tip of your tongue that you feel like sharing, expressing, or suggesting, please feel free to ANY time!! That goes for you, Jay, and everyone else reading this comment. Just don't be an A-Hole and there's nothing to worry about! Also feel free to butt-kiss any time, Jay ;) Haha, not really, actually. Last thing we need is people pumping our egos. But every once in a while is good :) You're awesome, Jay to the Xtreme. Thank you so much for being a part of our channel and helping to make the NeighBrohood fun and vibrant. I'm very grateful to have someone as kind-spirited and thoughtful as you as part our community. See ya around the block, dude! This channel ain't never stopping. We're gonna keep the show rolling until KZbin gives us the respect we deserve.

[@xtremejay2000]

@NeighBROSreact nah man I got nothing to point out or "criticize". Heck the skits are even growing on me. I still think one of the best things you do is pause and rewind. When I hear people gripe thay you go off topic I just want to scream "but at least they pause the friggin show and don't miss anything!" I imagine you watch other reactors and know nobody else pauses and they miss stuff because they are off topic. I do have a suggestion though. We gotta hit 1000 subs. You may need to throw a big movie reaction on the channel just to get the algorithm to throw you at people watching other reactors. I love that you are doing tv but it seems to always be a smaller audience. Even on a big channel. Find some big 80's or 90's movie that you both haven't seen and throw it up. It might act like one of those bug zappers and draw then in and get them to stick around for the main stuff

[@jmelamp3926]

Looks like you 2 might need some couples therapy 😂

[@NeighBROSreact]

Gosh darn it, Lamp... alright, let's kill these jokes before they get out of hand, lol

@ lmao

[@lex8766]

MY FAVORITE DUO AHHHH NEVER STOP THE GRIND. If yall need a good movie to watch look up Smokey and the Bandit 🩷

[@NeighBROSreact]

The NeighBROS ain't NEVER gonna stop!! Grindin' 'til the day we diiiie!! Even then, just gonna pull out the cardboard cutouts and keep the show rolling. So happy you dig the show, Lex! Thanks for being awesome as always ♥ Yooo, that's a great suggestion! I've never actually seen it and I really don't know much about it in the first place. Totally gonna add it to the list! Might have to put that one on a poll some time. Like, you know... whenever we start actually doing polls 😂
