    S6 is my favorite Christmas episode, I think. The whole rivalry with Phyllis and the comedy that comes out of it is so good.

    Kevin sitting on Michael's lap kills me every time. You can see Mindy Kaling in the background unable to keep it together at all.

    That episode is also home to one of the best Michael Scottisms of the entire series.

    Well, that is a perfectly good mini-tree, Kevin.

    And we are going to sell that... to charity.

    Because THAT, is what Christmas, is all about.

    Christmas is awesome. First of all, you get to spend time with people you love. Secondly, you can get drunk and no one can say anything. Third, you give presents. What's better than giving presents? And fourth, getting presents. So, four things. Not bad for one day. It's really the greatest day of all time.

    No discussion in here how it's dropping off Netflix at the turn of the year?

    P&R was a dagger but this was the final twist that made me cancel the service.

    Scene from Benihana Christmas is one of my favorites in the whole show.
    Dwight “looks like you got a little nigiri knife action going on?”
    Chef: “actually it’s suba”
    D “ah bet you wish you had a nigiri”
    C “suba is better for this quantity”
    D: “I don’t know still think nigiri is better”
    Random woman at table: “I think he’d know”

    Her delivery, his reaction. Incredible.

    random thing from that Benihana Christmas that always cracks me up is the two girls they bring back to the office you never even see in the restaurant.

    I wonder if they had shooting availability issues and just made it work.

    It was a joke on how Michael couldn’t tell them from the hot waitresses, and again when he couldn’t tell those two apart.

    I wish I could stand their show. So god damn drawn out it kills me. Now if someone condensed their actual insight/knowledge into what would likely be 15-20 minutes I would listen to that.

    At the end when the one pulls up on the bike during karaoke and it hits him... and then he marks her arm.

    I am not going to judge Phyllis for desecrating Christmas.

    There is one person who will, though, and Phyllis just stuffed Him into a drawer.

    just finished my last the office re-watch on netflix. season 9 is just brutal for long stretches. I know they had their hands tied with Mindy leaving and both Jim and Andy skipping half the season to film movies, but man it was awful for long stretches. they absolutely nailed the landing though.

    Jim and Pam should have just gotten a divorce in like episode 3 of season 9 and left us alone the rest of the season.

    "I didn't know you were going to ask me that" is subtly one of the funniest lines in the history of the show.

    No, that's an intended gag. The joke falls a little flat because the two that they take to the office weren't substantially uglier enough to immediately notice.
