The Bro Code


Michael Scott: “Bros before hoes.” Why? Because your bros are always there for you. They have got your back after your ho rips yours heart out for no good reason. And you are nothing but great to your ho, and you told her that she was the only ho for you, and that she was better than all the other hoes in the world… and then… and then suddenly she’s not yo’ ho’ no mo’.

PB & J

In honor of one of my favorite shows, and the fact that I now get to use my 2010 'The Office' calendar (seriously, it's the best calendar i've ever had), here's a JAM PostSecret to kick off the new year. The sentiment is there, but I can't say I fully agree with this statement.

This Never Happens at the Yankee Swaps I Go To

So i was searching for a scene from an episode of "The Office" where they did Secret Santa, but Michael wasn't satisfied with his gift, so he decided to turn it into a Yankee Swap instead. Hilarity ensues. Anyways, whilst searching for Dwight, I came across this gem of a yankee swap video. (SPOILER ALERT: PROPOSAL INCLUDED!)

To Be Continued...

Ah yes, we all know the old saying "April Showers bring May flowers." But what does May bring? Obviously the answer is television's season finales. It's a bittersweet time for avid tv viewers like me, where we are excited to see how the season wraps up, however it leavs us wanting more ... and needing it to be September already. So with all the finales that are airing this month, it made me think of some of my favorite season finales in the past. Here are just a few of the best of the end.

PS: One of my biggest pet peeves are SPOILERS, so spoiler alert, if you haven't seen any of these episodes, or are planning on watching any of these any time soon, I might be giving away what happens. You've been warned.



Friends TOW Ross's Wedding



Right up there with Desi and Lucy, Sam and Diane, and Zack and Kelly, Ross and Rachel are one of the greatest tv couples of all time. So when Ross became engaged to Brit chick Emily in season 4, some fans thought they would never see the power couple together again. But when Rachel makes a surprise appearance at their wedding, Ross makes a huge mistake, and of course, the credits roll. Leaving viewers like me screaming "WHAT!?" at the tv screen until that fall. On top of that, we even got the added bonus of Chandler and Monica hooking up. My 7th grade self couldn't handle it. Good thing I had Titanic to get me through the summer.


The OC The Ties That Bind



Remember when The OC used to be good? AKA Season 1? If you don't, let me know, you can borrow the only season I have on dvd. But to recap, SO MUCH DRAMZ happened in that first season that it's ridiculous. So ridiculous, in fact, that I really think it's the reason the show ended so early (besides the fact Misha Barton got killed off). If they had spread out the events from the first season, they would have so much more to work with. I mean, it's really hard to beat investment fraud, alcohol poisoning in Mexico, a secretly gay father, and a crazy secondary homicidal character in just one season. But the first season's finale wrapped up everything so well, bringing the season full circle from the pilot episode. Plus Seth floating away to Tahiti while "Hallelujah" is playing never fails to make me cry.


Weeds Pittsburgh

[click on image for video]

I have a love/hate relationship with Weeds. I like that at its core, it's a dark comedy about a family/mother who does whatever she has to in order for her family to survive. But as some of you know, I'm not a big fan of violent scenes in my entertainment, so watching the whole U-Turn scenario play out in the first couple seasons kind of made me uncomfortable. But what I love about Weeds is that it makes me keep wanting more. Although I feel like the last season shouldn't have taken the turn it did, and that it should bring my boy Conrad back, I can only hope that season 5 will get better with season 4's cliffhanger. Anyways, this particular finale is from the second season, where that entire U-Turn confrontation goes down. A series of (unfortunate) events doesn't exactly go in Nancy's way, and we're left wondering if she's even going to get out of it alive.


Mad Men The Wheel


[click on image for video]

Oh Mad Men. The one show I tell people to watch the most. It's gotten a lot of critical acclaim, and not to mention a best drama Emmy too, but the fact that it's on AMC deters some people from watching it. I have a special place in my marketing heart for this type of show. But it's so much more than advertising in the 1960's. It's how people lived in the 60s, how they were expected to act, how they react to societal pressures, and the stories behind the suits. Not to mention it has a brilliant cast, outstanding cinematography, and great writing. (No, no one is paying me to say this.) This scene from the last episode of season one blew my mind. Everything about it was perfect. It was one of those scenes where I lost myself in what the main character, Don Draper was saying. I was this close from buying a Kodak slide projector myself. (If you only watch one of these clips, because you actually have a life, make this one it.) A lot more happens in the episode like a surprise pregnancy and hidden identities, but you're just going to have to watch it to see how it all unfolds.

Heroes How to Stop an Exploding Man



Just as I was losing faith in Heroes, this past season redeemed itself, looking much like it did in its first season when everything made (relative) sense, and it left me confused jussstt enough to want more for the next episode. Most people probably remember the whole 'Save the cheerleader, save the world' rhetoric, and this season finale was the last hurrah for this chapter of the show. What I like about Heroes is that it's masterfully split up its seasons into 'chapters,' much like if you were reading a book of short stories that were all interrelated. New characters pop up every season, the main ones are still around, but each chapter they must face a new challenge. Then, at the end of the finale, they show a little preview of what's to come. In this finale of season one, we find out what happens when Heroes collide, and if anyone recovers from it. Some do, and some are just never the same again.

The Office Casino Night



So add on to that list of classic tv couples Pam and Jim. I must say I love them even more than Ross and Rachel, and I don't think I can even pinpoint why. Maybe it's because we were introduced to them as two people who could never be together at the beginning, or that they were best friends from the start, or maybe it's even the smart way the writers decided not to make their storyline too gooey and romantic. Whatever the reason, this finale in season 2 was what every Office fan was waiting for. The moment Jim finally had the chance to change everything and tell Pam how he felt. One of the most 'leave-me-wanting-more-oh-my-god-how-many-days-away-is-the-premiere' finales ever. WHAT WILL PAM DO?? SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING!!!


.... i get too involved. i realize this. accept it.

Peeps: Not Just for Easter

As you may or may not know, I am a huge fan of The Office. One of the most, if not the most, popular fansites for the show is Office Tally. The woman who runs this site has been a fan since the beginning, and has even gotten to meet most of the cast and visit the set. But that's really beside the point. This site is kind of like a bible for Office fans. Exclusive interviews, clips, and other fun facts comprise this comprehensive site.

From time to time, they have random contests and giveaways, and recently, in honor of Easter, they have decided to have 'The Office Peeps Contest." Basically the task is to depict a scene from The Office using Peeps and the winner gets an official Office mug signed by the cast. [see the rest of the finalists here]

I feel that for you Office fans, you'll recognize and appreciate the contestants creativity and artistry (trademark Kara DiaGuardi) so much more. But even if you don't watch it, I hope you find this just as amusing!





"Office Olympics" S2.E3

After the Dunder-Mifflin employees spend a day of office games, this is the medal ceremony, complete with paper cranes and Michael recieving the gold medal








"Diversity Day" S1.E2

In an effort to create a more diverse workplace, Michael decides to play a game in which all the employees wear a different race on their forehead, such as "Jewish," "Asian," or "Martin Luther King Jr."









"Safety Training" S3.E19
Trying to prove that working in the office is jsut as dangerous as working in the warehouse, Michael climbs to the top of the Scranton Business Park roof to act out 'depression.'








"Beach Games" S3.E22

The following 3 pictures are all from Beach Games, partly because it's one of my favorite episodes, and partly because all of these are brilliantly made. This is Dwight's attempt at becoming Regional Manager by doing the coal walk.










Again from "Beach Games"

Another task for the employees up for Michael's job; sumo wrestling. This is Andy and Dwight going at it.











Last one from "Beach Games"

Again the fire walk as Dwight tries to prove how much he wants the Regional Manager job to Michael. This is my vote for the best Peeps reenactment.








Which one was your favorite??


Update: Here are the actual winners!
