The Office Recap – Moroccan Christmas!

The Office was back in action last night with yet another hilarious episode! It was time again for the annual Christmas party, but it was interrupted by Meredith’s drinking habits, so without further adieu, here are last night’s TOP 10……

1. Opening Scene – Jim seems to have gift wrapped and taken apart all of Dwight’s office possessions and made a cardboard replica – “Happy Holidays Dwight! But you can’t open this until Christmas. I’m a blackbelt in gift-wrapping.” Dwight: “Jim, they don’t give out blackbelts for things that are stupid! If I can skin a mule-deer in less than 10 minutes then I oughta be able to cut my (crash to the floor)!”

2. Dwight’s Christmas investment – the Princess Unicorn: “These aren’t dolls, Jim, thes are commodities, the same as gold or oil! Catch phrase, my horn can pierce the sky! I will sell them out at an enormous profit, isn’t that right princess? FA LA LA LA LA LA LA KA-CHING!”

3. Andy playing that weird Indian guitar thing on the floor (insulting Angela), at his desk (to the demise of Stanley), and at Pam’s desk (disgusting Jim). And we also find out that he had 3 nicknames in college: Ace, Buzz, and Puke!

4. Michael’s concocted drink = orangevodjuiceka!

5. Meredith’s in the spotlight – obviously she loves company parties with the inclusion of alcohol, but she goes overboard with Michael’s drinks, the belly-dancing, and lighting herself on fire!

6. Michael’s definition of an intervention – “It’s a big surprise party for people who have addictions and you get in their face and you scream at them and you make them feel really bad about themselves and then they stop!”

7. Phyllis’s emergence – Big time performance last night from the head of the party planning committee. Not only does she effectively get Angela to do what she wants for this party because she knows “the big secret” (moving the tree, putting on a hairnet, removing the nativity figurines from her desk, and making pitas) but then she shows her power by proclaiming the secret to everyone in the office! Kudos Phyllis!

8. Dwight’s one-liners = Michael asks Meredith, “What happens tomorrow when you come into work and you’re dead?” Dwight: “I stab her in the brain with a wooden stick!” When Dwight confesses he doesn’t like Meredith and isn’t into Michael’s version of an intervention he says, “In the Shrute family we believe in a 5-fingered intervention: awareness, education, control, acceptance, and punching!”

9. Michael asks for the number to a certain rehab clinic to Toby, who gives it to him, and when he finishes writing it down Michael proceeds to fire the pen straight at Toby’s forehead and walks out of the office!

10. Michael tricks Meredith into thinking they’re going clubbing when they park outside the Sunrise Rehabilitation Clinic. He drags her inside and says, “I have a deposit alcoholic – so do I sign?” After realizing they have to check themselves in he says, “I need to find ways to push Meredith to the bottom – I think I can do it – I did it with Jan!”
