THE RECESSION HITS DUNDER MIFFLIN -- David Wallace (Andy Buckley) breaks the bad news that not everyone will get a raise this year. Dwight (Rainn Wilson) reaches his breaking point with Jim (John Krasinski) and looks to the rest of the office for allies. Pam (Jenna Fischer) would like cash instead of wedding gifts. Steve Carell, Ed Helms, Paul Lieberstein, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Phyllis Smith, Oscar Nunez, Creed Bratton, Ellie Kemper also star.
So we all know from past episodes that the Scranton kids don't really like Jim in charge...anyone think we're going to see Jim opening up a can of whoopass in this episode?
As much as I'd like to see it, I just don't think Jim is the whoopass type.
Pam would like cash instead of wedding gifts.
This is going to be good. I wonder if she'll get a Schrute buck tied to a raccoon.
I'd like to see Jim break out some whoopass. Not the Roy type of whoopass, but the Jim kind that I like.
Or why they don't have a local IT guy for 20 people. They could bring back the guy with the funny hat. I liked him.
First. Also, cool! Tension!
(really long karate kick to the head by big fat hovering pregnant lady a la Fruit By The Foot)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I'm just nervous that they're going to keep making Jim the bumbling idiot when it comes to managing. Not only would that be slightly unrealistic, but it would completely negate the promotion in the first place, thus setting the Jim storyline back to nothing.
Anque, you made a kick to the head fun, which it almost never is.

Not a terrorist.

I don't think they'll make him an idiot, I just think most people are going to hate him. He's one of the young ones of the office, and a lot of them have probably worked there longer than Jim has, so of course a lot of people are going to hate him. I think he'll do something that'll gain their respect...eventually. And that's what I meant by him opening up a can of whoop ass. Jim Halpert style...
Personally, I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens. I thought it was a smart move for the writers to give him this co-manager job. I always thought he'd just be an Ass. Man. till the series finale...

That commercial makes me laugh. I've discovered that I find certain kinds of violence very funny. I blame/thank Chuck Jones for that.
He'll be the best Ass Man since Harry Tang joined the CIA.
When evildoers go to sleep at night, all they're gonna see is Tang in their face!
Dear Friends,
Yay Jim has an Office. I don't think we have ever seen that side of the room before. Why didn't Dwight use it when he was promoted to head of the medical plan choosing?
Kelly is totally right Lauren Conrad is totally better than Heidi Montag

"To Love's Eternal Glory"
Best line ever! Okay, hyperbole, but still. Sooooo funny!
Dear Friends,
OMG Creed and Meredith had sex at some point. Is that what that scene meant? What is Meredith's job? Creed is QC/QA Angela Kevin and Oscar are Accountants, Pam, Andy, Phylis, Dwight, and Stanley are Salesmen, Kelly is customer service, Toby is Personnel. Erin is reception and Ryan is a temp wtf is Meredith?
Jim's an idiot. He should have never done it like that. You don't announce in front of the whole office that the sales men are getting a raise and no one else is of course it is going to piss people off.
