THE OFFICE Thursday on Give Me My Remote
June 21, 2007 by Kath Skerry
I know I said I was taking a break from OFFICE Thursday during the summer, but a girl needs her Dunder Mifflinites every once in a while. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. It’s been like Christmas this week with Steve Carell and John Krasinski ruling the talk shows. We wish Steve the best of luck with the premiere of “Evan Almighty” this weekend, and of course we’ll be talking about “License to Wed” more as it gets closer to it’s launch on July 3rd.
So as for OFFICE Thursday at Give Me My Remote, I thought I would shake things up a bit this week and have a little fun with y’all. How about some party games? First some news and then some fun. Let’s get to it.
THE OFFICE Marathon Tonight…
The Office – Casino Night (Supersized), Branch Closing, The Merger
Steve Carell is hosting tonight’s Office Marathon and showing some clips of his new movie “Evan Almighty”. I’m not sure if you’ve heard about it or not. He doesn’t seem to be doing any press for it…weird. On tonight’s episodes we get to see Jim confess his love for Pam, Toby daydreaming of surfing in Costa Rica, the first meeting of Andy and Dwight. Not a day day.
Krasinski’s Still At It (TWSS)…
Catch John this afternoon on TRL and later tonight on Conan. He still has a few more talk shows to go. For more of John’s upcoming appearances, click here. Mr. Krasinski – You’ve been running around like a crazy person between NYC and LA. Don’t you think you could come home to Newton…just for a quick visit?! Spend a few days with the fam, and um, me? You did tell me you’d be home some time this summer. Well it’s the summer. We’ll have a few beers, a BBQ, listen to some Death Cab…it will be fun.
Fandomicity…
I’m not sure there are ANY fans like OFFICE fans. You must, must, must take the time to watch FANDOMICITY, a mockumentary about the The Office and the fans who love it. It was created by the brilliant Maggie aka Seat18b. It’s so fantastic. I hope that everyone involved with the show has taken the time to watch it and feel the love from their fans. (Click here to watch Fandomicity)
Happy Birthday Tanster. Sorry your party’s so lame…
Yes today is the birthday of Tanster who as you all know runs OfficeTally.com – the site to go to for all your Office news. I have been lucky enough to get to know Tanster over the past year or so and she’s a not only a great gal but one of the most dedicated Office fans around. Happy Birthday Tanster!! We’ll always have Van Nuys…
What are we doing? What’s the game? I want in…
I thought we could have a little fun this week and play our own version of The Office Olympics. Sadly we can’t play Flonkerton, but hopefully you’ll have a little fun with these games. The answers will be revealed tomorrow and the winner gets to choose an item from the GMMR Store. This is on the honor system, so no cheating (please).
GAME #1:The Office Audio MixMatch
Listen to these clips and name the episodes from which the lines were taken. (1) point for each episode you correctly identify. It’s not as easy as you think!! A special thanks to the fabulous What’s the Scuttlebutt from the audio clips.
Clip #1: Name the 5 episodes featured in this clip (Play)
Clip #2: Name the 6 episodes features in this clip (Play)
More Office games after the jump.
Game #2: Guess the Scene…
The characters have been removed from the scene pictured below. (1) point if you can tell me who is missing; (1) point if you can name the episode.
Game #3: That’s What She Said…or He Said.
Fill in the blanks to complete these classic office quotes. (1) point if you can tell me who said the line; (1) point if you can name the episode.
This is an old adage, but they say that when you find **** ****, you know within the first ** *****. With Carol, I knew within the first 24 minutes of the ****** *** I met her.
A lot of people think that ***** **** is just for kids, and that’s why so many other people in my class were kids.
Mike, I am not having **** ****** in a paper warehouse.
One beer, and one seven and seven with eight ********** ********, sugar on the rim, ******* if you can.
Alright, let’s get started. Um, oh! First off, we’re supposed to be pushing ********* this week, so let’s push ********* this week.
************ friendship, hot and cold, on again off again, sexual tension filled type of deal… it’s very *** and *****.
I called every grocery store in Scranton, no one sells ***** ****.
Do you wanna make ********** and watch *** ** *** **** at my place?
I’m just sad the ****** ****** ****** failed him so badly.

OKAY! Can I just say how annoyed I was today watching TRL. I like Mandy Moore, but whenever she was asked what she was more excited about, her new album or “License” I was mortified when she said the album, and John was standing RIGHT THERE. I was about to slap her. ok, ok, just kidding. But, if I was her, I would have been way more excited about being in that movie with him, than my fourth album being released. That’s just me. hehehehehe

I was really bummed that only one or two of you had answered, but then I realized most of your responses were awaiting moderation. That’s what happens when you have the word “casino” in your SPAM filter.
I know this one was tough, and probably a bit too long. I got a little carried away.
