Talk about improving upon later viewings, I watched the entire first season of "The Office" over the weekend, and this morning while brushing my teeth, I was thinking of a particular scene and very nearly choked on a mouthful of Colgate. When I saw the scene, I laughed, but not in the gut-busting way I did when I thought about it later. [Scene described below, after some other words that will substitute for actual "spoiler space".]
I just love that show. My husband doesn't think it's funny at all -- how can that be? He's more of a Beavis & Butthead kind of guy (as long as it's about farts -- it's funny...), or if you want to get really highbrow, Dumb & Dumber.
Also, when watching another of the episodes (the one with the giant inflatable cock -- as it is described on the scene/episode menu), I could not help but be reminded of the conversation here about who coined what term. [Now, the spoiler space and the "reveal" of what episodes I'm talking about.]
FUNNY SCENE THAT MADE ME CHOKE ON MY TOOTHPASTE:
The one where the staff are in a training meeting to learn about customer care, and the training guy asks David to do some role-playing with him, where the trainer is to play an unhelpful hotel clerk, and David is the customer with a complaint.
Well, the part where David (after being rebuffed by the trainer in an attempt to file his complaint) blurts out -- "There's been a rape!" The total randomness of that (David's just GOT to "win") and the look of horror on the trainer's face -- OK, I'm laughing just thinking about it now -- good thing I'm not brushing my teeth.
SCENE BRINGING TO MIND THE FB's DISCUSSION OF TERM-COINAGE
David claims that he invented "Exsqueeze Me" instead of "Excuse Me" and "Wank you very much" and similar amusing comments.

Yeah, and Ricky Gervais got that idea from me, as did Richard Lewis.
I made my friend watch a couple of episodes last weekeend, and he thought the show was really claustrophobic and was uncomforable watching it. Funny, I thought pot would enhance the viewing of the show.
What is taht scene where they have to state their fantasy? I think its part of that training episode. Gareth says something about two lesbians. sisters. he is just watching. And Tim says "I never thought Id say this but i would like to hear more from Gareth".
I heart gareth, and tim.
