TGI(A)F
Thank Goodness it’s (Almost) Friday.
Have you ever had one of those Thursdays when you’re at work doing serious tasks and something breaks your concentration? We’ve all been there, particularly when we’re cognizant of the fact that only one day separates us from the weekend. The problem is we can’t allow ourselves to break our 9-5 “character.” This lapse in protocol can come from a big, dramatic distraction or it can be a few declarative words from your offbeat coworker.
Dwight always had the perfect beet for comedy.
Fact: You need the strength of 11 full-grown men to get through that clip without laughing.
Laughter is the Best Surround Sound
If you work in any kind of office, you’ll understand.
The second day of the workweek can feel exhaustive if the workload pile looks like an infinitely high skyscraper of papers on your desk or a digital inbox that never stops adding emails. Worst case (not really, but go with it), the week may already feel repetitive. If either of these feelings describe you, perhaps you should buy a small TV and mount it on your living room wall and host an awkward dinner party. For some, just looking at this technological “invention” is enough to throw all your cares away in exchange for uncontrollable laughter.
I’ve always imagined this blooper from The Office was a pretty close reenactment of an actual sales pitch and demonstration by an employee trying to sell this ridiculous TV to consumers as he or she was desperately trying not to laugh.
And now, the same scene that finally made it on NBC.
Hopefully, you’ll watch and laugh at these clips repetitively.
We’re All Thinking It…
Posting an alternate opening credits video for The Office in the style of a classic ’90s sitcom yesterday has inspired me to post another clip from this show that seems appropriate for today: Friday. At any point this morning or afternoon when our boss begins to speak, we’re all hoping he or she will say that magical phrase.
Stanley, we’re with you.
Hey, it’s Friday, make it count!
Happy Throwback Thursday!
Throwback Thursday is a great weekly tradition because it puts people in a good mood right before Friday and the weekend with a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
And on that note, have you ever wondered what some shows that aired in the 2000s would have looked and sounded like if they had debuted during the 1990s?
“You are in luck! There’s a town about 3 miles that way, I’m sure you’ll find a couple of guys there” (bonus points if you can guess that ’90s reference!).
Actually, it’s more like visiting Dwight at his beet farm lucky.
‘That’s what the ’90s said!’
