Jim’s Pavlov-esque experiment that opened the episode was terrific. It’s amazing how the show can consistently come up with hilarious one-minute bits. Of course, whenever you have Jim messing with Dwight, it’s a recipe for success.
I think I’ve realized something about Michael and his antics. When he makes a complete ass of himself in front of his employees, it’s funny, but when he makes a complete ass of himself in front of a bunch of strangers, it’s just uncomfortable. That was the case tonight when he kept trying to inject himself into Phyllis’ wedding, creating a number of his patented “cover your eyes” moments.
Kevin’s transition from “…[Uncle Al] has dementia and his family is very concerned. This is a very serious situation,” into his horrible rendition of “Roxanne” was one of the best moments of the episode. It’s always great to catch a glimpse of Scrantonicity.
Did you catch Ryan coming in and batting the bouquet away from Kelly? I doubt he’ll ever extract himself from that relationship, though that would make for a great episode. On a side note – nice work, Toby!
It looks like my not-so-hard-to-predict prediction is going to come true. Pam was so beat down, first by Phyllis stealing all of her wedding ideas and then by seeing Jim dancing with Karen, that she succumbed (out of loneliness) to Roy’s subtle moves. They’re going to get back together before Jim realizes he still wants her.
But who knows, maybe one of them will have the balls to tell the other how they really feel. I think it’s Pam’s turn, but it doesn’t look like she wants to put herself on the line like that (or betray Karen). The only problem with a Pam/Jim romance is that I like Karen and I don’t want her character to leave Scranton.
Here are a couple of great quotes from tonight’s episode:
Dwight: (to Angela) “You look as beautiful as the Queen of England.” (What??)
Angela: (to Phyllis) “Your dress is very white. It’s so white my eyes are burning.”
