Alright, now that everyone has seen the show, I get to put this picture up.

My wife says that this kiss was a perfect kiss. Not overdone. Not awkward. I wonder how many takes it took. What say ye?

    Dude, If I was kissing jenna Fisher, I would take as many takes as possible.

  2. Kim says:

    That kiss goes to an 11 ! :)

    Seriously, as far as impact and passion. Pam even put her hands through his hair. Come on! Love JAM.

  3. Daniel Simon says:

    I was shocked, to say the least. I have to agree that the kiss was PERFECT! He made the first move, but you could almost see her body melt into his as she responded. Very well done by the two of them. Very well done.

    I loved this kiss! It was so passionate without being.. lusty(? is that the word I’m going for?), just as a true first kiss should be. (I’m not counting the Dundies since she was drunk and we all know how that goes…) Anyway, it was so well done I almost felt bad for watching what seemed to be such a private moment. (The key word there was “almost”!) It was just beautiful.

  5. kristy says:

    I barelly remember the kiss I was so much shock and excited!!!! a complete 10 though!

  6. Brian says:

    Remember the first kiss between Jan and Michael in the Chili’s parking lot? What a vast difference between this one and that one.

  7. Lynn says:

    Love the kiss!!! It was so cute, so perfect!! This was my favorite TV kiss because it was so real. I can’t wait for next season!

  8. J says:

    I agree with Brian. That kiss was nice, but they were both drunk. This kiss was absolutely stunning, and I am looking at it as not just the end of this season, but the beginning of the next. It is not just a perfect kiss, but the true begining of a drama that will comedically carry on through the next season, and maybe more seasons. It was amazing.

    Sweet, tender, and heartfelt! What an awesome ending! I would rate this kiss a 22!!!! I’m going to show it to my husband over and over and over until he gets it right:)

  10. Erin says:

    I wish I was Pam!!!!! Sigh.

  11. Abby says:

    It was pretty damn good.

  12. Amy P. says:

    It gave me butterflies. Even looking at the picture makes me grin from ear-to-ear.

    I think it was perfect. One of Jenna and Jim’s strengths is their non-verbal acting skills. The subtle way they use their bodies – their eyes, their smiles, their posture – it’s really amazing acting.

    The best part was she totally kissed him back. She didn’t just stand there, but she fell into him. Something I’ve always wanted to happen.

    Yay! :)

  13. Becci says:

    Totally perfect. I can’t stop thinking about it.

    absolute perfection.

    my dad is sitting across the room and he just said, “you must be reading something good,” because i was smiling and didn’t even realize it :-)

  15. Mark Spittle says:

    I kissed my wife right after that scene. The thing is, I imagined she was Jim. Don’t tell her.

    Solange, if you are reading this, someone hacked into my account and I didn’t really write that.

  16. Kim says:

    Loved it!

    Still have goosebumps…

    I wish I was Pam too!!!

  17. Erin says:

    It gave me me goosebumps, immediately… so well done and natural and just passionate, without going overboard. I give it an 11, for sure!!

  18. Susan says:

    Jim reached the Everest of hotness when he told Pam he loved her… then he did it AGAIN with the kiss. He is all that is man. Definitely one of the top three TV kisses of all time.

  19. Brian says:

    Wow, this kiss brought along a lot of would be commentors! Happy to hear all the new voices. =)

  20. Bland says:

    Totally perfect kiss. A sloppy makeout would have been completely out of place. Those two can act so well. I could see Jim’s desperation in that kiss.

  21. Justine says:

    It was a timeless kiss!!!

    Jim Halpert is the new Lloyd Dobler, it took 17 years but we got a new one.

  22. Chris says:

    Not sure if anyone saw this on the Office NBC site… but under the picture of Pam and Jim kissing, the caption says,

    “A conflicted Pam called her mom for advice and admitted she was in love with Jim. She ended the conversation early when Jim walked in on her. He didn’t say anything, he just kissed her and she kissed him back.”

  23. Robyn says:

    I’m glad that I am not the only one who went completely nut-bar over the end of this episode. My husband thought I had lost it. I’ve re-watched the last 3 minutes of this show now 4 times this morning and still have heart palpitations.

    Some very wonderful person put that bit here on youtube for any of you who want to re-live it:

  24. Christian says:

    ^WOW Chris thanx for that, we’ve been wondering if she said what we thought she said, that’s awesome!!!

    And the kiss…whoa. Very reminiscent of Ross and Rachel’s first kiss, it was beautiful to say the least. Great scenes, great show, great season!!!

  25. JIm says:

    I wish I was Jim, well I am a Jim, I just wish I was “the” Jim. I’ve had a crush on a girl in my office, years ago and it was tense, and when we finally kissed it was just like that. Sweet, soft, tender, and tenison that only a knif could cut. I married her! I’m not sure what’s the power this show has over us, but I can’t wait for next year. When Jimmy Jr, comes to work on bring your son to work day.

  26. Mindy says:

    Fantastic-a great way to end the season. Can’t wait til they start season 3!

  27. Becci says:

    Thanks for the link, Robyn–I could only find the first two minutes or so and not the end!! I wanted to watch it over and over again too!

  28. Landon says:

    I think we all agree… it was perfect. Realistic, fantastic… anything with “ic” at the end.

  29. Donatella says:

    Best screen kiss ever. Period. Real, sweet, understated, and yet totally powerful. And all my female friends agree.

  30. Chloe says:

    perfect kiss. perfect. 10. no, 100.

  31. Shannon King says:

    I recorded the episode and I’ve already re-watched the kiss twice today. It was perfect and amazing. God, I love this show!

  32. Kenneth says:

    This is the best TV show kiss I have ever seen. I was watching this with my girlfriend and she asked me why I’m not as romantic as Jim.

  33. Rob says:

    It was so romantic…can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait till next season

  34. Kenneth says:

    By the way, did anyone see the look Jim gave Pam right after the kiss? It was kinda like a “did you kiss me back?” look. Amazing.

  35. Christi says:

    This is a great fanvid too. I love the end where it cuts from Pam kissing Roy to Pam kissing Jim.

  36. MG says:

    I absolutely loved the kiss! It was perfect. I’ve been on the receiving end of a kiss just like that and it is such a rush. It brought back so many great memories. Oh, and as a Scrantonian myself (born and raised, now live in MA) I just love the show, this site and the Scranton Insider (I’m from West Side, too). =)

  37. Jane says:

    There is nothing better than that kiss, it killed me and will continue to do so until we find out what happens next season!

  38. Kay says:

    Afterward I was screaming and jumping up and down, I have never been that excited about people on a TV show kissing! I can’t believe it! I totally wasn’t expecting it until Jim came in, then I was like Yeah!! Go Jim!

    Earlier in the episode when Jan asked Jim for a smoke and he refused, I was so proud of him, that’s my guy!

  39. Lindsay says:

    Yeah, if I were kissing John Krasinski, I’d definitely make sure to screw it up the first few times. On a scale of one to ten, I give the Jim/Pam kiss an eleventy billion.

  40. Gillian says:

    Perfect kiss. Long over due.

  41. Sissy says:

    I record The Office on DVR, ao I re-watched the entire episode again today. And then the end another 3 times! So fantastically well done. You felt like you could hear Pam’s mom on the other end of the phone. And then the kiss…so sweet and so sexy….Perfect! Can’t wait until next season!!!

  42. Jenny says:

    I cannot stop thinking about that kiss! I had a dream about it last night. So great!

  43. Jess says:

    I kept thinking about this kiss until the next morning. It really was perfect. It was made everything seem so real. So heartfelt. It gave me butterflies just watching them. They are so cute. I kept watching the video on YouTube over and over.

  44. Marc says:

    That last episode wrecked me! I’ve never felt myself care for TV characters so much as I do for this show. Perhaps it’s how they make everything so genuine in the dialogue and the acting.

    That was a phenomenal ending, with a perfect kiss. I’ve actually been pretty down and out since the finale, having re-watched the show multiple times, needing desparately to see what happens to them both – needing to see it work out.

    John Krasinski, my man, you are an amazing actor!

    And Jenna, you sell comedy and emotion like no other, makes my heart hurt! Oh, and on top of that, you’re stunning. Needless to say, I’d have loved to be Jim. :)

  45. Erin says:

    OMG! Best kiss, movie or tv, ever! Loved the way he just grabbed her yet it was soooo tender! Sigh!

  46. Janet says:

    Wow!!Thank Goodness for my DVR. I’ve watched the “kiss” about 10 times. I am flipping out.

  47. Angela says:

    You all make me feel like less of a freak for watching the scene about 12 times (so far) on Tivo. Best. Kiss. Ever!

  48. Brian says:

    Office freaks are among friends at LITO

  49. Becky says:

    I think I’ve rewatched the scene about 50 times since Thursday.

    I seriously need help…

  50. Kim says:

    They must have changed what it says on the NBC site. Now it says:

    A conflicted Pam called her mom for advice…. She ended the conversation early when Jim walked in on her. He didn’t say anything, he just kissed her and she kissed him back.

    No mention of Pam stating that she loves Jim back. :(

  51. Danielle says:

    I now have hope that love is real! Yay JAM! Nothing short of perfection.

  52. Anonymous says:

    Is it wrong that Jim Halpert has ruined me for all other men?

  53. Lori says:

    I would have to give that kiss the best kiss ever on t.v. it was perfectly done. not too much, jst right enough. at the best moment too becuase we were all hanging on the edge of our seats…aww….

    10/10 kiss

  54. Cynthia says:
