The Office

 

NBC - Thursdays at 8:30 p.m.

It's sort of annoying that the show is so popular, but I like it anyway. And yes, I loved the British one, and yes, I thought the pilot for the American version was just a not-very-good rip-off of the British one with bad timing, because let's face it, Americans and subtlety don't really go together. But once they stopped copying the other one and just started making their own show, things got better.

My favorite funny moments on The Office, as of late:

1. Kelly seeing Jim after a long separation, and filling him in on Tom Cruise's & Brad Pitt's babies after he asked "What's new?" (My friend Wendy & I totally copied her when we were sending a video of ourselves to a friend in Iraq.)

2. Phyllis & Karen's makeovers.

3. Pam's secret CIA correspondence with Dwight.

4. Dwight.

5. Michael outing Oscar in a staff meeting, and then saying "All the other office gays out themselves or I will do it for them."

6. Stanley's reaction to....everything.

7. Michael making snow angels in styrofoam peanuts in the warehouse.

8. Kevin's band.

9. The way Pam pretends to transfer Michael's calls, waits until he says something stupid, and then sends the call through afterwards.

10. Michael making Dwight do his laundry as punishment.
