yeah i don't know what the fuck he was thinking there
but yeah winston was the best young

it is

That was an incredible, harrowingly accurate depiction of a guy on mushrooms giving you sex advice

ACT-TING can really make things work and seem super realistic
I mean if anything about schmidt or winston feels real your reality is pretty incredible, congratulations

This is not a show that generally has been driven by really obvious formula though, it's been driven by character conflicts and plot developments like the election, ben and leslie getting together, the harvest festival, all that stuff. Most episodes of this show since season 3 have added to the world in a more…

True story their love is incredibly boring

Writers are generally between mid 20s and late 30s
Their memories of games coming up tend to stop around the super nintendo
Also video games only sound distinctively LIKE a video game and not like an exploding computer in that time frame

No serious promotion to TV critics, silly name, and also a year separated from Netflix's "first" wave of original shit

Season 8, polyamory reigns as Ted just shmosbys around new york sticking his dick in things looking like a big time architect
Marshall and Lily abandon their child and have nightly 5 ways
odd man out is surprisingly barney often, but on those nights where a 6 way just kind of "happens"They had an episode called Pile…

From what I can tell this is some ridiculous scheme that only happened because Michael Scott would probably sign any piece of paper and make his whole staff sign any piece of paper if it meant maybe getting on TV and then kind of just forget about all that shit as near-constant surveillance becomes reality

From what I can tell the production crew is clearly on friendly terms with most of Dunder-Mifflin

He seems like a person who would have serious boundary issues and record things all the time just like kind of as a weird habit, I mean the entire crew had to develop some sort of actual internal relationship with these people as more than subjects over the course of 9 years
But yeah the Brian stuff is a writer's room…

As I recall most of the time they just lost most audio and you could still hear loud shit or it was Steve Carrell leaving

To be fair that makes sense, for some reason these guys seem to have some good (and upgrading) equipment

@avclub-09242a5045cda8c7f60b238ba86876a7:disqus John Krasinski seems like he'd be the ultimate spokesperson for subway. Just like shoot him holding a sandwich and kind of eating it in front of a green screen and pretend like it wasn't moment of sandwich hell

Them shooting the fourth wall to hell is brilliant at this point as far as I'm concerned, they've done every other camera gag possible at this point including actually involving the sound guy in the action.

Kevin's Human Zoo comment was honestly the much better explanation that I wish that they'd gone through instead of this last minute half-assed Documentary Plotline.

The Office is many things, none of them current

Thank you, I've been trying to find the right metaphor to describe how the show is all plot and no character work, just pieces with arbitrary and slightly fluctuating levels of power/effectiveness get moved around on a board without much regard for their motivation but more for the ends of the plot the writers already…

I feel like that song mostly being against drinking until you're about to die is overlooked a little too much
