Comments

Caitlin O'Connell

Ohhh yeaa, a 5 episode blessing? 🙌 Thank you Asia & BJ!

Edgar Gonzalez

Season 8 fam!!!! Man, we almost finished with "the office" 😦

J. Scott Samuel

The best treat! I’m so happy to be following along with you both, it’s been delightful to see everything again with a fresh perspective! 🙌🏼🥳

MacGuffinStuff

I love these reactions but now that we're getting to the final seasons, I'm a little bit bummed, what now? 😂 No but, Parks and Recreation, or, hot take fellow patrons, Silicon Valley? I loved it. Goofy funny shows with some heart, and clever.

Caitlin O'Connell

Hopping into another Zach Woods show would be a great choice

Tyler Kozer

pls pls parks and recreation after the office

Neal Moody

Yep, the show is still funny but it doesn't hit the same without Steve Carell

MacGuffinStuff

Zach Woods is one of the most underrated comedic actors, and he is great in Silicon Valley. So many funny people and the writing is awesome, that would be a great show for Asia and BJ to react to, I hope so.

Neal Moody

That's a movie you should watch, "Alive."

Charity L

“Chuck” is a really good series

Kiera Walker

FIVE??? 😳 Y’all are the real MVP’s tonight!!! 😩🥹😍😌

FLORIDABOYYY

There was no “beef”, but it’s been said that he would have continued on had he been asked. This is from Wiki: “On April 29, 2010, Carell stated he would be leaving the show when his contract expired at the conclusion of the 2010–2011 season because he wanted to focus on his film career.[41] However, according to interviews in The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s, Carell did not actually plan to leave at the time and was only "thinking out loud" during the interview, but after his statement failed to elicit a reaction from NBC, he decided it was best to move on.”

Ms Vanillabean

James Spader is an amazing actor. He starred in “The Blacklist” for 10 years after his stint on The Office. Some useless trivia is that he can read a script once and have it completely memorized.

Neal Moody

No way. Jackass is awful.

Robert

kevin me think have good idea

Duck

Harpy new year everyone!

Dallas Adams

The original Prison Break would be a great replacement show

Matt F

You guys remember watching the movie Stargate? Robert California (James Spader) from Season 8 of The Office played the main character in Stargate, Dr. Daniel Jackson (the dude with longer blonde hair and glasses). Stargate was 1994 so obviously he was a lot younger.

Darth Brooks

I'm getting spoiled on my New Years Eve with an Office marathon! Won't be home to watch the countdown later tonight so I'm celebrating now at almost 2am lol. That said, all the A&B fam that plans on celebrating out there be safe! Don't drive after drinking, don't cause too much ruckus and keep an eye out for others. Stay safe out there tonight, love y'all ✌️🕛🎊

Neal Moody

James Spader is brilliant

Isn't the kid Beetlejuice?

For some odd reason, Andy's "Bro-nard" brother Walter Jr. just could not successfully figure out which person was Pam. Shortly after arriving to the garden party, he Initially thought Meredith was Pam, since Jim and her were standing together. Not only did Jim immediately shoot down that notion as one would expect, but so too did Meredith, except she actually had the audacity to say it in this way: "Hell no! She wishes." Then later, when Walter Jr. was departing, he made another incorrect assumption. This time he thought Phyllis was Pam, which was once again based solely upon the fact that Phyllis and Jim were standing next to each other.

M4RRS

Yes, indeed, Kevin definitely was wearing a wig. His hairpiece has been a running gag throughout the series, especially during recent seasons. For instance, in S6 E4–E5 'Niagara' at Jim and Pam's wedding, Kevin wore the wig along with tissue boxes to cover his bare feet as a substitute for shoes, since his only pair was discarded by hotel workers due to emitting a foul odor. Another example of Kevin wearing his wig was in S7 E20 'Training Day', when he asked newly hired Regional Manager Deangelo Jeremitrius Vickers if he hated bald people as much as he does, since he was once again pretending to have a full head of hair. Kevin really seemed to enjoy presenting himself as such to people who would not know any better due to all parties involved having never mutually met before that point in time. Perhaps the best part in regards to his hairpiece was when he made the following remark: "Nope, it's not Ashton Kutcher, it's Kevin Malone; equally handsome, equally smart."

M4RRS

LOL at Dwight still thinking Cece's name is Peepee, despite previously being "corrected" — or, rather, more like misdirected — by Jim during a recent interaction between them. Below is a bit of dialogue from that conversation. Dwight: How's your daughter? What's her name again, Peepee? Jim: Peepa, actually.

M4RRS

In reference to why it was called "Señor Loadenstein", Jim said the following: "Porque es muy rápido", which translates to "Because it is very fast".

M4RRS

The following phrase is what that custom, light blue, sleeveless shirt worn by the muscular meathead bodybuilder said: "My balls have biceps and my biceps have balls." NBC confirmed this to put the issue to bed, since apparently there was great debate over what it read. Why it was evidently deemed a necessity to blur the word "balls" will never logically make sense to me, especially considering the fact that Darryl went on to mention his "two big black balls" out loud later during the same exact episode, which was never bleeped. Also, during the split wedding episode in S6, while on the phone with Jim, Pam told him this in regards to Andy Bernard's nards plus torn scrote: "He is in my room icing his balls". So, who knows the reason why there would be a need to censor only solely said text in 'Lotto' (S8 E3).

M4RRS

Nobody's name was erased, except for Andy's when Robert California (portrayed by James Spader) later made a change to his list by moving it over to the other side of the page. Rather, whenever Robert first wrote down his list of names, he merely spaced them out in ways that came across as appearing strange. After all, he is quite the quirky character, so that type of habitually peculiar behavior on his part is simply the epitome of his own wild, weird and wacky ways. Now, if y'all shall allow, then let me just assertively assure thee that certainly plenty more of such oddball sort of stuff is surely / "sure-tainly" in store.

M4RRS

Isaac Hayes was the voice of "Chef" from 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬, not Barry White LOL!

M4RRS

Season 8 was not around 2007 / 2008. It actually ran from September 2011 through May 2012. The entire series originally aired from 2005–2013. To better put it in perspective: Season 1, which was only six episodes, originally aired during Spring 2005 in March and April, respectively. Season 2 started in "Fall-tumn" 2005 and ended in the springtime of 2006. In terms of an annual schedule, every consecutive season thereafter followed that same pattern of beginning in the Autumn of one year and then finishing up sometime during Spring of the next year.

skz

what a terrible take. Jackass is amazing.

skz

Easily the worst season and it's not even close but it's still worth watching once to get to the end.

M4RRS

Ellie Kemper was much different as Erin versus the dirty, flirty, filthy, frisky, freaky, nasty, naughty, raunchy character that she played in '21 Jump Street' (2012). Y'all may recall that she was the teacher who kept hitting on Jenko (portrayed by Channing Tatum), one of the undercover cops posing as a teenage student in her class.

M4RRS

Coincidentally, in the comedy movie 𝘡𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘪 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘰 (2008), Zack, played by Seth Rogen — who auditioned to play Dwight Schrute, by the way — described himself as resembling a beluga whale after he shaved off his beard about halfway through said film. The aforementioned character Zack had done so in an attempt to appear more attractive for his upcoming role in an amateur porno flick which him and his closest friends were about to shoot, but it turned out that he preferred his signature facial hair look.

M4RRS

I'm quite surprised at the fact that neither one of you two realized what Ryan Howard's Halloween costume was s'posed to be in 'Spooked' (S8 E5). I had thought for sure that you two — perhaps even simultaneously — would instantaneously recognize his disguise, since he was clearly dressed in the style of Jesse Pinkman from 'BB' / 'EC: ABBM' / 'BCS'.

M4RRS

During the filming of Season 8, Angela Kinsey, who portrayed Angela Martin, was not actually pregnant in real life, even if it may have looked that way from the time you hit play and the first episode started. Instead, on set, she had to wear & bear a heavy, prosthetic belly, as those in charge of the show had chose to have both Pam(ela) / "Pan" + Angela [ = "Pamgela" or "PANgela"] be pregnant at the same time for the purposes of a storyline. Obviously, the writers had neither a voice nor a choice in the matter with respect to Pam — or Jenna Fischer, rather — what with her really expectin', but it was such a nice touch to add that dynamic of Angela also being pregnant.

M4RRS

Fun Fact FYI: Jenna Fischer, the actress who played Pamela (Pam / "Pan") Morgan Beesly Halpert, actually was pregnant in real life during the filming of Season 8, as is probably pretty evident and not(ice)ably clear. Since there was a blatantly obvious difference in her appearance stemming from said pregnancy which could not be hidden, of course the writers then had to incorporate the expectancy of a second child into the storyline.

parks and recreation after the office

I'm really happy you did 5 episode this time. Happy new year to everyone! And cheers!

Wikipedia isn’t the greatest source for accuracy but he has said in interviews that his contract was over and so he just moved on. He expanded his range beyond comedy with several award winning roles. His comments and the back to back projects, for several years, is proof that that was the case.

Bill B.

Quintuple drop! Happy New Years!

Bill B.

Check out “k stress yo yo guy” on YouTube, it’s where this actor began, basically pranking news stations by getting himself interviewed for fake stories, it’s hilarious!

JB

I thought Ryan may have been Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad with the yellow jacket and that hat

Bill B.

Kevin a beluga whale at sea world 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BJ has me dying here!!!

M4RRS

You're correct in your assessment.

M4RRS

He was actually not new to the show as of Season 8, though. He has already been present in several Season 7 episodes, having portrayed building owner Dwight's newly hired maintenance worker. Below is an earlier comment of mine, which contains another previous comment that I made in regards to the actor, plus the fictional characters that he has played, after Asia and BJ at one point briefly pondered / wondered out loud about who is this guy Nate: Nate is the new maintenance man who Dwight hired earlier this season in E4, just a couple posts of episodes ago. What a funny coincidence that you two thought he might be the new IT guy, since he was indeed one in a show that you two have both seen and reacted to before. Below is a previous comment which I wrote when you two posted that batch of three episodes (S7: E4–E6) . . . Did y'all recognize a familiar face as Nate — the lone English-speaking, Caucasian day laborer who Dwight picked up to be his new maintenance worker and remove the hornets' nest from the tree — in the 'Sex Ed' (S7 E4) cold open? That is actor Mark Proksch, who also played dorky Daniel Wormald aka alias "Pryce" in 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘚𝘢𝘶𝘭. He was also occasionally brought up, yet never seen, in 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘢𝘥, as "Saul" would only call him "Danny" when referencing him to Walt (et al.). "Danny" was the owner of "Lazer Base", a laser tag and arcade place. Previously, in the prequel as nerdy "Pryce", he was the IT guy who worked for a pharmaceutical company, and hired Mike Ehrmantraut as his bodyguard for meetups with Ignacio "Nacho" Varga to conduct drug deals consisting of the respective sale and purchase of Oxycontin pills pilfered from his workplace. After "Pryce" bought a flashy, yellow Hummer with red flames, "Nacho" broke into his house, ransacked it and stole back the hidden drug money plus his collectible baseball cards. "Pryce" stupidly called the police to his home, who found his drug and cash stash "hidey-hole" in the baseboard behind his couch. That lead to him hiring Jimmy McGill aka "Saul Goodman" as his attorney. Jimmy helped him avoid suspicion by concocting a fabricated story about a lovers' spat between "Pryce" and his "digital media art patron", who was the supposed thief. According to Jimmy, the aforementioned "art patron" stole pornographic video tapes which depicted "Pryce" performing a kinky, yet fully-clothed, fetish known as "Hoboken Squat Cobbler" — an act whereby one sits in pie and wiggles around to result in stimulating pleasure for the person who is viewin' him do it. To make the cops believe him, Jimmy falsified evidence by actually recording a video of "Pryce" carrying out the act of a "Crybaby Squat Cobbler", whereby one sits in a pie plus cries. Jimmy had "Pryce" dress up in a lifeguard costume — whistle, white tank top, red "Speedo" bikini bottom and all — to sell the lie. Seasons later, "Nacho" asked "Pryce" for a favor, after "Pryce" was shown coming home to "Nacho" sitting in the dark on the couch in his house. "Nacho" wanted him to obtain empty capsules of a specific medication from the pharmaceutical company for the purpose of using to harm Hector "Tio" Salamanca. He even offered him a hefty fee as a nice PRICE (pun intended) to pocket and profit.

...and the voice of Ultron in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" as well as played Steff in the classic John Hughes movie "Pretty in Pink"... and so on. 👍

[Cue insertion of "Talking Head" interview segment featuring Jim and Pam] Jim: Oh! Yeah. [Smiling and pointing to Pam beside him] Pregnant. Pam: [Smiling and pointing down to her own belly with both of her index fingers] Right here, little Michael Scott! Jim: Nope, I told you I don't like that joke.

Coincidentally enough, in the comedy movie 𝘡𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘪 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘰 (2008), Zack, played by Seth Rogen — who auditioned to play Dwight Schrute, by the way — described himself as resembling a beluga whale after he shaved off his beard approximately halfway through said film.

Great way to end 2025. Happy new years!

TuneinWill

I love how you guys have done the office and sopranos: every time I rewatch the office I watch it up until Micheal leaves. The two seasons without Micheal to me just aren’t that good. I’m curious to see what you guys think once you finish! Happy new year!

M4RRS

Robert California wrote every employee's proper name on his list except for Creed, who he had placed in the "Loser" column as simply "Old Man".

Soph

He did want to continue. The cast have stated multiple times he wanted to renew but CBS said no. And agreed with the rest of the cast that they’d finish the show after s9.

M4RRS

Darryl's ex-wife Justine was played by Erica Vittina Phillips, who was also in both 𝘛𝘩𝘦 40-𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳-𝘖𝘭𝘥 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯 (2005) and 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘥 (2007).

Kain D. Zero

You guys got to watch some anime too.

Kain D. Zero

The actor of Nate is awesome in What We Do in the Shadows as an energy vampire. His way of talking on The Office reminds me of how he talks in that show too. :D

Kain D. Zero

Andy's "costume" reminded me of "Home Improvement" with Tim Allen

Kain D. Zero

Had to look it up. The one playing Robert California's son is the actor David Mazouz who is the young Bruce Wayne in the series "Gotham"

Supes

The new boss was also the voice of Ultron in Avengers Age of Ultron

Jay Rivera

I’m the 69th comment…. That’s what she said

Poopy McDoodooface

Thanks Asia & BJ for more great Office reactions. They hit the spot . Happy New Year

TJ Harrington

Wait, I’m a Jets fan… what is the Jets lore here?

Josip Buretić

I didn't know how I would feel about the Office without Michael but so far I am loving it season 8

Josip Buretić

Yes he is awesome in What We Do in the Shadows I would love if Asia&BJ would react to that great show I am sure they would love it

Mami's Gatos

Another great show I started rewatching since it originally aired. Watching certain things as an adult just hit so much differently
