| Post subject: | Halpert Pranks |
There’s a great episode of The Office shortly after the Stamford office has been absorbed by Scranton. Andy tells Jim that he’s agro horny and wants to take that out on his new coworkers. Jim, being Jim, uses that as an opportunity to prank his coworkers. The target is Pam. Jim, knowing Pam very well, seeds Andy with the worst possible advice, which Andy uses to formulate his pitch to Pam. It’s so aggressively misguided that Pam is speechless. When she realizes what’s going on - via a classic Halpert chair turn - she appreciates the effort immensely. I feel like Pam today. |

I hate Pam. I hate CeeCee. I hate what both of them did to Jim's character |

I've never watched an episode. I have the box set and am going to try and get into it soon. I heard season 1 is pretty rough but that's how it is with most good shows. |

Never really watched much after the kathy bates character came along. |

Kind of. Basketball and Healthcare are pretty funny overall. |

Season 1 is really rough, but if you get past that there is a lot good stuff up until Michael leaves. |

I think it takes awhile for the actors and writers to get in sync with the characters. I've watched the UK one so I know I'll like it. |

To me, the best prank was when he hired an Asian guy to be himself. The “Asian Jim” even had a family photo with Pam and two kids. Dwight was completely confused. |

I haven't binge watched the whole series, but I know season 2 had "the Client" and that was really good. By season 4 we had the "Dinner Party" episode and that was hysterical. |

The episode I've heard about the most had a CPR dummy and I'm looking forward to that one. Senior year I took life saving and one of my buddies started humping the dummy during class. He got kicked out for the day and got 2 Saturday school's but it was pretty funny and we still talk about it. |
