Best. Night. Ever.

[anoel]

OMG YOU GUYS. First How I Met Your Mother and now The Office bringing me personal moments of TV heaven. If you watch The Wire (WHICH YOU SHOULD), you HAVE to watch tonight's episode of The Office. Or a clip of an especially amazing part of it. Have I mentioned how much I love Mindy Kaling lately?



EEEEEEEE Wire reference!! This must be the first Wire reference on TV which is the coolest thing and of course it happens in the most perfect way possible. Oh, Michael, how are you so awesome? And it FITS because Michael has commented in the past about watching HBO so of course he'd see The Wire. And it's totally an inside joke because all the Office writers love The Wire except ironically Mindy but hey, it was in her episode. So the full quote:

And then you put a wire on him and you find out who's selling him drugs. And then you get that guy and you flip him and turn him into a snitch. You follow that guy to the people who are really, really bad. Been watching The Wire recently, I don't understand a word of it.

OMG LOVE. And you know, he actually gets the basics. But of course he doesn't understand. Oh, Michael ILU.

Okay so I love this episode. Like Branch Wars, it starts with an awesome premise with huge potential: Michael, Ryan and Dwight go clubbing. I will say that like that episode it doesn't *quite* live up to the potential but there is enough love and funniness that I don't mind. Might as well start big. Things I love:

Michael hugging Ryan! (and needing a girlfriend) Ryan hugging Michael! MICHAEL AND DWIGHT in Ryan's apartment!!! Dwight singing to Ryan *loves* Oh the slash writes itself. "Let's hear it for the boys" *squee* Queer as Fuck Folk song reference!

The hobbit! OMG that was hilarious. And of course Dwight once again believes the fantastical can be real. Because who doesn't want to believe that? The hobbit jokes never got old.

Awww Toby! Don't leave us :( But the awkward hand moment was too funny as is the WTF of him jumping the fence. (random fangirl moment: I was at that fence!)

Oscar! I love him so much. "Why are you assuming they only speak Spanish?" Mmmm Spanish speaking Oscar, "They happened to speak Spanish" hee.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!



The Office + The Wire = My Personal Heaven.

And one 30 Rock reference to top it off:



Hee Project Runway reference! "Rami is better at draping" or whatever the quote is was hilarious.

I am reeally looking forward to the Ugly Betty episode with Christian and Nina Garcia. Going to be so good :)

OH DUDE. Don't forget Michael asking Ryan to take off his clothes, and honestly, Ryan's whole "this is a one time thing, you know that" is like, the opening line to many a sex scene in OTHER FANDOMS, so.. XD

\o/

[anoel.livejournal.com]

OMG I KNOW! The taking off his clothes was priceless. There BETTER BE FIC after this episode. I want to read fic for them now sooo much.

[snoopypez.livejournal.com]

I hate the fandom if there is not. XD

[annaalamode.livejournal.com]

The Office writers are all fans of the Wire? Really? OMG KEN TREMENDOUS I COULD NOT LOVE YOU MORE.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

They are! They all think it's the Best Show Ever! I was so happy when I found out.

[indybaggins.livejournal.com]

Have you read some of the House spoilers for the rest of the season? It's bound to be made of awesome!!!

[anoel.livejournal.com]

I haven't, want to be surprised but it sounds great :)

[tinted-glass.livejournal.com]

I built up so much HIGH HOPE for the episode that it didn't quite live up to my expectations, but it was a damn close thing. I adored it. A lot. I love Michael/Ryan to pieces and I hope fandom pays it the ATTENTION IT DESERVES now.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

Yeah expectations are hard to live up to but it was close! Which was amazing and all the good things make me so happy. Let's hope!

I have not watched 30 Rock or The Office yet, but I now cannot wait. God, I love those shows!!!

[anoel.livejournal.com]

They are so awesome (especially The Office)!

[stephmck.livejournal.com]

Poor Ryan though! Somehow I'm seeing him back at Scranton with only Michael on his side. Should make for some great TV :D

(Hee hee, gotta love those QAF crossover moments)

(can I rec your QAF vid in whatsup_qaf ? )

[anoel.livejournal.com]

It would definitely be interesting/entertaining to see. Knew you'd love the QaF crossover moment too :)

Of course!

[lucie-fanfix.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, yes. Just yes to everything you said.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

:) I love this show.

That's how I felt. It could have been amazing, but it was very good and that is good enough for me. :) I like watching Michael and Ryan "interact".

Oscar was great. He and Stanley are my favorites of the "minor" characters.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

Yeah they're always fun to watch. Stanley is definitely one of my favorites and I do love when they give Oscar the chance to shine. Really I just love them all.
