The Office Thoughts on the Ben Franklin Episode?

schrute posted on Feb 02, 2007 at 06:32PM
I thought it was just a so-so episode.

It started out great but got lame midway through when Michael threw the bachelor party.

On the plus side it was fun to see Todd Packer back.

Meredith's "shut up Angela" was a fun little moment.

I also loved watching Kevin as he subtly oogled the stripper.

Dwight's trivia battle with Ben Franklin was also funny.

I hope next week's episode is better though.

my least favorite episode this season, but it did advance the jim-pam storyline

I thought it was SLIGHTLY below par but no where near "bad". I (like milf) loved the man meat part as well as Dwight's pestering of Ben Franklin. And what the hell is up with this Jim/Karen back together again?! >:o

This was a disappointing episode. I mean, i only seemed to be laughing when dwight was on-screen. And whats the dealio with Pam. Her flirting with Jim sounded like Andy flirting with Michael. I love the Jam relationship, but this episode had me thinking no.
Although andy was gone. bonus. I'm so over the andy/michael saga.

Andy is at anger management, it was explained at the end of the director's cut.
this episode was good, but it made me uncomfortable to watch. like pam trying to flirt. i think jim got it though when she asked ryan to hook her up. anyone see the look on jims face? he got it. dwight and the man meat, totally funny. micheal seems back to his old self. the past few episodes with him and andy have been strange, hes not the same crazy guy, almost serious. i can't wait for next week. i predict drinking and love confessions at the wedding.

There were some good moments in this one.

- "I want my son to know the dealio. The dealio of life."

-" Actually, I was never president"
" Right but Ben Franklin was"

- "Its more like a Guys-Afternoon-In... a GAI. NO no there's nothing gay about out its just a guys bridal shower. Just an hour long shower with guys..."

- "The stripper gave me great advice, and it rhymed. You know it just makes you wonder how someone like Ben Franklin can become president, but someone like Elizabeth can't!"

- "Didn't Ben Franklin have syphillis?"

- "Are you nearsighted or farsighted?"
"Both. thats why I invented the bifocal"
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHH!!!!"
