Today’s edition of What I’m… really didn’t go the way I planned. I didn’t do a Twitter poll and ask what people wanted to know about. I was going to but something happened and instead I decided I would share. This edition is What I’m…WATCHING.
Okay so I’m a *little* late to the party. In all fairness I have seen a bunch of episodes over the years (mostly important Pam and Jim ones) but I have never actually sat down and watched the show from beginning to end. So I have begun my 9 season journey and even through the lack of sleep I’m loving every minute of it.
Since I am only on season 3 (my next episode is Safety Training) I know I don’t know all the characters that are to be involved with the show. But I do know some enough that will now give you my take on a few of these characters:
- Michael Scott: A Human Resources Manager’s worst nightmare. Seriously, I am an HR Manager and hearing the things that comes out of his mouth makes me cringe. How he hasn’t been fired and sued is beyond me. But with that said as I viewer, he KILLS ME!
- Jim Halpert: Hands-down my FAVORITE character. His facial expressions and looks to the camera are so epic and spot on. Plus how can you not love that face?!?!
- Pam Beesly: Duh, she’s Jim’s other half. And I love how the character has evolved some just over the few seasons I have seen.
- Stanley Hudson: Could be my second favorite character. He’s responses, or non responses, to Michael and his antics are the BEST. He makes me laugh just sitting at his desk.
- Ryan Howard: In the words of Jim, ‘I liked you better as the temp.’. He’s really a whiny baby a lot of the time.
- Andy Bernard: Definitely not someone I’m currently liking. He’s really over the top and annoying. I am told he gets better though and he is played by Ed Helms so…
- Dwight Shrute: There really are no words to describe Dwight. His character speaks for himself. Really…NO WORDS.
I will say this semi-binge watch has been a lot of fun and I’m loving getting to know all of these characters.
And truth, Jim and Pam are OTP:
Have you seen The Office? What episodes are your favorite?
Yes!!! Jim and Pam are amazing. I also love Andy and Erin so so much<3
Have you seen the entire show yet? I did like Andy and Erin for a bit but the later seasons you see a different love story unfold that is not unlike Pam and Jim.
This show KILLS ME, honestly reminds me of my office (not to that extent), but with out funny some of my co-workers are. The CPR & The Fire Drill are scenes we play at work all the time. I think I’m on season 3 as well from watching it from the beginning. I havent watched in a while – I need to start up again.
I was literally saying last night that we have had some office moments that could 100% have fit into the show!
Yall have to hurry and get to the Stress relief episode. Please !! LOL
My daughter is working her way through this series right now. Actually, she should be about finished; I know she is on season nine. She was horrified by Michael and Dwight in the beginning too, but they do grow on you over time!
Pam and Jim fit together like PB&J (Pam Beesly and Jim) that’s actually a quote from Kevin on the show.
I started watching the office because of my cousin. He played the ‘stress relief’ episode when that season became available on netflix that year at Thanksgiving.
Incidentally I was starting college to and had no idea what I wanted to major in. After watching this show (well catching up all the shows hadn’t aired yet) I majored in Business. Not unlike Ryan lol.
Idk where you are at in the show and don’t want to ruin anything for you so I wont go on and tell my favorite episodes or quote anything more.
Happy binging and please lmk when you have finished I would love to talk to someone who loves the show as much as myself. I have started buying seasons to prepare in case Netflix decides to stop streaming it. 🙁
