The Office running thread

"Yeah, like the guy in the $4,000 suit is going to hold the elevator for the guy who doesn't make that in four months. COME ON!"

 

It's too complicated to actually pull off, but Tambor and Arnett pulling off a father/son management team based on the Bluths would be amazing.

 

93, can you pop over to my office and bring me a new pair of pants? Thanks much.

 

There is always money in the banana stand.

 

Flamer.

 

To go off-topic from The Office, but sticking on topic with AD: Anyone watch Archer? Kitty voices a secretary, Lucille is Archer's mom, and George Sr. voices the head of the rival spy agency. Also has H. Jon Benjamin and one of the guys from SNL.

 

Ricky Gervais is the one who brought up Will Arnett, but I think it was discounted pretty quickly because he'd be too much like the Michael Scott character. Also, FWIW, Sepinwall thought the episode was a home run.

 

Another off topic remark on Arnett. He is hilarious on IFC's Todd Margaret, which also features AD alum David Cross.

Arnett swears like a sailor on Todd Margaret. I think Cross and Arnett ad-lib every episode and Arnett drops as many f-bombs in one sentence as he can.

I think Arnett would be great on The Office. Though I think you gotta bring in Tony Hale as a co-manager at Dunder-Mifflin.

 

Also noting that Lucille made an appearance in last night's Big Bang Theory, as well.

 

I think Jason Bateman would be a good choice for the new boss at Dunder-Mifflin. He's been in that role before. Think I'd take Arnett first, though.

 

Not only on "Arrested Development," but also in "Up in the Air."

 

I loved Todd Margaret.
