Bingo. I mean, the last line of the series tells us that Annie is Bob's next target, and I always thought that scene in the movie was showing what happened when Bob was done with her (even though it happened in the future, but that ties in with the "darkness of future past").

They started showing this movie on HBO around 2006. I was too young when the original series was on to really enjoy it or remember it (I would have been 6-7 during its run).  I'd always heard this was a prequel of sorts, so I didn't think it would be a big deal to watch the film first, and then seek out the series. I

That could be said about the overall run of the series at this point.

Anybody who is familiar with The Choctaw knows that Between Two Ferns is heavily scripted

I always loved the line, "We can hang out and throw THINGS in it!" The emphasis Creed places on the word "THINGS" in that line is priceless.

"Why wouldn't you just say the words?"

"I don't TRUST you, Phyllis!" - Andy Bernard

Michael thinking he sees Tina Fey while the camera crew spots Conan O'Brien walking the other way down the street, then cutting to Michael "Really?!" = gold.

Michael showing the video of himself on that kids' TV show was so, so sad, especially when the kids in the office start asking him if he ever got married or ever had kids.

I love how Josh called Andy and Jim into his office for an urgent meeting, and it was to discuss Call of Duty strategy.

Andy running and throwing up down the hallway was amazing. Janet Snakehole was amazing. Ron dancing was amazing. Jerry being strapped to the roof of the Benz! Amazing. That episode is 100% comedy perfection. Any time Andy busts Kyle's balls, I love that too. I miss Kyle, the perpetual shoeshine customer.

Andy Daly was really good at playing the creepy, overly-enthusiastic Ben Franklin, too.

Plus, that introduced us to Vikram, which later led to the great moment in Season Five where Michael reveals his potential investor in the Michael Scott Paper Company is actually his Nana, and Vikram quits the business before it even starts up.

Michael's instructions to make the party more Mexican for Oscar, leading to Ryan changing the lemonade bottle to "Lemoñadé", was one of my favorite jokes from "The Return." Also, Dwight working alongside Yvette-Nicole Brown at Staples led to this great quote:

@avclub-33807fbc68d335db8080d3c10cb78822:disqus I love how he removes his jacket and you think he's going to drape it over her, only for him to utter, "It's hot in here," and tie it around his waist. I loved that moment because Dwight didn't know why Pam was upset at all, yet he cared for her enough to just sit and be

"Today, smoking is going to SAVE lives." - Dwight K. Schrute

To the tune of "Bad Boys":

"I sprout mung beans on a damp
paper towel in my desk drawer. Very nutritious, but they smell like
death."

Rainn Wilson performs the single best example of fake vomiting I've ever seen, all over Dwight's sweet Trans Am. Concussed-bizarro-Dwight was such a delight in that episode, from joking with Pam about the fake Russian iTunes store, to being sprayed with the spray bottle by Jim as he's driving Michael and Dwight to the

Michael and Tim Meadows singing "I want my baby back baby back baby back" makes me laugh every single time. Jan's reactions during that whole meeting are priceless, and when she realizes that Michael closes the deal and kisses him at the end, it's just perfect.
