When Jim convinces Dwight that the building is unsafe, Dwight rents a bus and sets up the office inside. Nellie asks for Andy's help in adopting a baby. Meanwhile, Jim tries to make Pam happy with some pie.Download Video The Office Work Bus Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch The Office Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.A fly-on-the-wall "docu-reality" parody about modern American office life, "The Office" delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell) is a single, middle-aged man who is the boastful tour guide for the documentary. With unshaken enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of business wisdom and his employees' cool friend. He has no clue that his employees tolerate his inappropriate behavior only because he signs their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked and to look cool, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic. His prize possession is his "World's Greatest Boss" mug -- which he had to buy for himself.
Here we are at the beginning of the end - the last season premiere The Office will ever have. So yeah, I got a little more emotional about "New Guys" than I expected. And because of that, I think I enjoyed the episode more than I expected.
It felt at times like the writers were talking directly to the audience, acknowledging where they've gone wrong in the past and tossing out little morsels to make up for it, from Jim and Pam's self-aware interview in the cold open to everyone throwing trash at Nellie in the last scene. Talk about your meta moments.
Knowing that original executive producer Greg Daniels is back at the helm, I was looking for signs of a return to form, a more realistic brand of humor rather than the off-the-wall randomness of late. I found a bit of both. Jim being reminded that he once had ambitions and Angela treating her cat adoption as if she were giving away a child were relatable situations and reminiscent of the Office of old.
At the other end of the spectrum, Andy's slackline demonstration turned public humiliation exercise, Kevin's disturbing turtle mutilation and Dwight's attempted bicycle stunt off the roof pushed the envelope a bit to much for me. One of my personal peeves is when the show relies on topical viral videos and Internet memes as a source for humor (e.g. lip dub, planking, parkour, and now slacklining).
It comes off as cheap and almost immediately dated, and not exactly the hallmarks of a classic television comedy. Also, a dead turtle is just sad, no matter what you glue to its shell.
I also hoped to see the seeds of some ongoing arcs that could be sustained over a few episodes, or even an entire final season. On that front, we were rewarded with some actual professional momentum for Jim (about time), an affair (!) between Oscar and Angela's husband (foreshadowed by Oscar's response to Angela's insistence that if you pray enough you can turn yourself from a dog person to a cat person:
"Those guys always turn back, Angela"), plus Andy promising to make this a terrible year for Nellie. I'm actually looking forward to watching all of these plots pan out. I also really enjoyed seeing Toby get under Andy's skin, to the point where he's starting to understand why Michael hated him so much.
It may be a bit of a rehash, but I'm willing to forgive that because that's just Toby's personality and I've missed the hilarious pot shots Michael used to take at him.
that and other aspects of the modern American workplace. Steve Carrell leads a large cast of talented actors that succeed in creating a smart, silly comedy that works.
Carrell is Michael Scott, the dim-witted boss of paper company Dunder Mifflin's Scranton, Pennsylvania branch. Rainn Wilson is Scott's odd second in command Dwight Shrute, a man who prides himself on knowledge of survival techniques and bears. Jim Krasinski is Jim Halpert, a salesman who has a crush on Pam(Jenna Schafer), the receptionist. These are only a few of the major characters in the ongoing, hilarious saga of Scranton at work.
Several story lines can take place in the course of a single episode, giving the show more chances at laughs. In one episode, for example, there are conflicts between members of the Party Planning Committee, Michael's usual antics of procrastination, and the secrets of two characters's affair. These just make the show more original than ones that have a single narrative.
