The best Christmas gift NBC could bestow upon the masses? An hour-long Christmas episode of The Office, of course. Last night, the show kicked off to a depressing start when Michael’s girlfriend Carol broke-up with him over some admittedly creepy photoshopped Christmas cards. There’s nothing worse than a broken-hearted Michael… actually, there IS: 30-seconds of James Blunt’s “Goodby My Lover,” Michael’s break-up song of choice (the song douchily trumped later on with his karaoke pic, “Your Body is a Wonderland.”) Andy, Jim and Dwight accompany Michael to Benihana to soften the blow (”Bros Before Hos”), where they meet two Asian waitresses who eventually accompany the fellas back to the office. And if marking an Asian girl’s arm to tell them apart isn’t more offensive than all that “ching-chong” Rosie O’Donnell business, well than slap a rice paddy hat on our heads and get your pants dry-cleaned: That was pretty bad!
Moving along, we see the relationship blossom between Kelly and Ryan (Ed. Note: We’d like to add that we saw Mindy Kaling in NYC last weekend, and she really is every bit as adorable as she is on the show. ) We enjoyed the new frienly Karen-Pam-Dynam, and if judging from the rebound talk Jim had with Michael, you can officially set your “JAM Reunion Countdown Clocks” today. Also, is it supes-pathetskies that when Oscar walked back into the office, we shouted “Yay Oscar!” while laying in bed, alone, and sick? Don’t answer that in the comments.
What you CAN tell us, however, is what you thought of the episode: How did it stack up to possibly our fave ep ever, “Yaaaaaankee Swap”? NBC has its first deleted scene up (warning: it’s really awkward), and will post more later in the week. Also, do you guys think Jan is going with Michael to Jamaica?
later.
