"I did learn it on the streets.  On the ghetto in fact."  Michael and Stanley almost always made for some terrific exchanges.  It was hilarious for me how much Michael tried to get Stanley to like him being that Stanley was such a surly, unfriendly person. 

I loved Kelly's rambling monologue before that, and how Dwight was slowly getting more and more fed up with her babbling.  Kelly and Dwight together, for me, made some really funny scenes.  I like when the show paired up different people around the office for scenes like Jim and Creed, Stanley and Ryan, etc. 

FACT: You are drinking grape soda, you never drink grape soda.  FACT: You are talking to Jim, you never talk to Jim.

"Somebody ate 3 feet of that thing?" 

Yeah I was under the impression Hank hadn't told anyone else but Gomie.  That's what I was thinking, "Oh man, he isn't even going to have backup when the Nazis arrive."  What a ridiculous amount of tension build up in this episode, I was actually wringing my hands at the end of the episode. 

I could get behind that, but what I'd really like to see is Jessie get through this and at the end walk into a classroom as a chemistry teacher.  I'm really hoping Jessie comes out of this, but I just don't know if he will.

That was terrific, and I found it extra funny how quickly Oscar managed to duck out of the room when he realized Stanley had heard Jim's impression.  The acting of Jenna and John in the scene where Pam is teasing Jim for being jinxed is superb; Jim's face when Pam says "It looks like there's something you're just

"The kids don't want to hear some weirdo book that your Nazi war criminal grandmother gave you."  Oh I love it when Michael has those rare moments of insight that are so unexpected, and the looks on his face he usually directs at Dwight in these moments are terrific. 

Angela: "No, thanks.  We'd have to explain everything.  It's probably just easier if we do it ourselves."  Cut to Toby's daughter looking crushed and Toby saying "All right, I wasn't expecting that.  Let's go draw."  I loved this scene as a perfect example of Angela's character; dedicated to the party planning

@Thats_Unpossible:disqus Also Oscar's smug look to the camera when he says "I don't care" makes this little scene great and totally reflective of a battle that would go on in a real office. 

One of Michael's greatest throw-away lines, I lose it every time when I see his face as he shakes his head "He's not going to college."  Absolutely brilliant.

I loved his crazed charge at Jim during Beach Games, that was an epic moment of Stanley anger.  For me, my favorite Stanley moment was him laughing at Michael at the beginning of Scott's Tots about Michael's stupid promise he made, and his all business "This is pretzel day" retort to Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration. 

Sea Monster calling him Hasselhoff was terrific, and it was a great example of how hard Michael tried to fit in with the warehouse crew he saw as the cool guys of the office. 

Absolutely, Michael's smug self-assuring nod as the Sea Monster enjoys his pizza is terrific.  Michael interacting with the warehouse crew is always great; he tries even harder to fit in with them and almost always makes an ass of himself.  RIP Patrice.

@avclub-ee4fadf37efceab02df97947e8d240a6:disqus  I thought the same thing when Roy hurled that glass into the mirror at the bar.  Anyone who would flip out like that in public would surely not be above slapping their significant other around.  I always thought that was a bit over the top, but the scene where he

Definitely, Oscar is Michael's go-to man when it comes to anything requiring intelligent thought.  Michael is of the mindset that his job is to bring in the sales numbers, and the rest of the technical stuff is up to everyone else. 

"I mean it's one banana Michael, how much could it possibly cost?  $10?"

Angela: "But no cookie."  Dwight: "But what if I'm hungry?"  Ryan looking horrified and uncomfortable beyond description.  I really enjoyed their relationship early on, those two are absolutely perfect for each other.  I hate what the show did to Dwight later on, the slightly dense, moon-faced sycophant of early years

@avclub-33807fbc68d335db8080d3c10cb78822:disqus Also the tubby guy whom Karen says she dated to Jim when they were at Wallace's for cocktails.  I love when shows have consistency with even minor ancillary characters like that, which is why The Office and Parks are two of my favorite shows. 

David Wallace's look after Michael's Faces of Scranton video was terrific, I loved his character before he went off the rails.  I think it was the "try on Phyllis' pants" line that particularly horrified him.
