The full length "Threat Level Midnight"

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

In my Steve Carell binging to hype myself up for Space Force, I found this again:



Honestly, this is still better than Welcome to Marwen.

The Rashida Jones part is still my favorite. Lololol.

The Toby part and the bit where Jim makes the comment of humping Scarn's dead wife always have me in tears laughing. Just so funny.

Came into the thread to post this.

Ever banged an entire Bachelorette Party, Baby?

I used to think "Threat Level Midnight" was the absolute nadir of "The Office" (although "The Scarn" dance scene absolutely still is), but in the years since this aired, I've slightly warmed to the overall episode itself. That being said, if you really look at it with a critical eye, none of it makes sense. Why would any of the Dunder-Mifflin employees, nearly all of whom have varying levels of contempt or antipathy for Michael Scott as a boss and a person, participate in his home movie?

I get why Dwight would, he's always been Michael's sycophant. Todd Packer's always been his hanger-on, Ryan's needy for the emotional support, and Andy was Michael's yes man from the moment he arrived in Scranton from Stamford. But Darryl, Roy, Oscar, Jan, Angela, and Karen would have wanted nothing to do with a Michael Scott movie project. They would have immediately rebuffed him the moment he asked, begged, and pleaded for their participation.

I mean it was when the Office was getting into more cartoonish territory. If they bothered to explain it though it could’ve been done simply enough. Just like one line where Michael pitches it to everyone then he says, “This will be our special project and I’ll make sure you all get time and a half.

Exactly.

Like when he gave Phyllis all that time off for her wedding if Michael could be in it. Or giving everybody days off to go to Jim & Pam's wedding. If you sucked up to Michael, even a tiny bit, you would probably get whatever you wanted.

Darryl would be in to be able to goof on Michael. I imagine Jan's scenes would've been filmed after she was fired and moved in with Michael... What else is she gonna do? My guess about the hostage scenes would be that they were filmed at some point between The Client and Casino Night, so Pam talked Roy into it, as they'd still be together. Anybody else that was hesitant, Jim probably managed to talk them into it. The bar scenes would've been filmed between The Merger and The Job, so Jim easily could've talked Karen into it and Dwight likely talked Angela into it.
