I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration! You go Phyllis. I’m glad that someone found joy in this week’s Office.
Yes it’s Phyllis wedding and the whole Dunder Mifflin gang is invited for some reason. I guess its just easier to invite them than to deal with the annoyance and anger involved in their not being invited. Especially Angela, can you imagine the tyrant she’d be? Oy.
I love Phyllis and I love that she tries to be so accommodating but seriously what the hell was she thinking by putting Michael in charge of wheeling her Dad down the aisle. Michael infuriated me tonight. Not in the way he normally does, I actually wanted Bob Vance to beat the shit out of Michael. I wanted bad things to happen to Michael so that he would once and for all learn his lesson. I know that is the point of Michael being Michael and that is the point of The Office but damn, he can test some patients huh?
While he did bother me, I still found some of his hijinks to be quite brilliant. I loved the video of his Mother’s wedding and how he peed his pants. I loved that he was unable to see that this day was NOT about him but that it was about Phyllis. I mean come on, he was mad that the Father of the Bride upstaged him, who does that? Michael Scott does that.
The episode started strong with the whole Pavlov’s Dog bit. Dwight’s conditioning was quite hilarious. Everytime Windows shut down he expected a Altoid. Pretty funny stuff.
The JAM stuff was all over the place and for the most part I liked it. I don’t like Jim playing both sides of the fence. I don’t like that he’s totally in love with Pam but willing to still string Karen along knowing that in his heart of hearts, she means nothing. His cell phone arena rock wave was almost out of pity not out of fun, excitement, or love. Jim mentioning that Beesley’s fancy dance moves were cute really messed with Pam huh?
Before we knew it, she was dancing with her ex fiancé Roy and soon going home with him! Wow. I wonder if she was “actively not thinking about Roy” when they knocked boots that night? Poor Pam.
I mean she walks into a wedding to find that Phyllis has basically used and copied her whole wedding idea. The invitations are exactly the same including the monogrammed P & R on everything. The flowers are the same. Damn, even the dress is the same. Though I gotta say, strapless on Beesley might not be the way to go.
She deserves the world and Roy’s willing to try and give it to her, too bad Halpert’s still playing games with her heart. Roy’s slipping Kevin and the rest of Scrantonicity $20 to play his and Pam’s song (Jewel) was quite the gesture. It’ll be interesting to see where they end up and whether or not Roy will be the one getting hurt.
Some of my other likes:
- Angela’s Jackie O Box Hat tribute outfit.
- Dwight’s Grandfather’s Burial Tux made another appearance.
- The whole “hypothetical” scenario
- Ryan knocking the bouquet across the room so that Kelly wouldn’t get it. Smart move.

Let’s face it– the Jim incident(s) has given Roy a whole new depth. He is almost worthy of Pam now. He is less brutish and seems wounded and learned to be thoughtful. But JAM will continue because the heart wants what it wants. Poor Karen. And it’s funny that it is only Michael Scott’s second wedding. Clearly not someone high on anyone’s invitation list, pathetically he spent Phyllis’ wedding trying to make up for the fact that he was replaced by the family dog as ringbearer. And nice touch that Kelly wore a wedding dress and tiara. I rewound three or four times just to watch Ryan tip the bouquet. Hysterical. Scrantonicity! “With one breath, with one flow, you will know Scrantonicity”.
