Our Office peeps are popping up everywhere these days. I don’t know if anyone has gotten into this new show, spearheaded by the great Jerry Seinfeld, but it’s shaping up to be one of the funniest ‘reality’ shows on TV; touting along some serious star power. Last night our favorite Warehouse Manager joins OCD Game Show Host, Howie Mandel and the Divine Ms. M, Bette Midler to try and sway The Marriage Ref. See the full show here. Craig has some very interesting points of view.

Enjoy!

What looks to be the first official Office convention is getting underway this weekend in Scranton, PA. From MSN comes this news:

As Michael Scott, the clueless boss on NBC’s “The Office,” would say, “ain’t no party like a Scranton party.”

With that in mind, the city where the Emmy-winning cubicle comedy is set is hosting a weekend blowout for thousands of fans.

The inaugural “Office Convention” promises to be as quirky as the show itself, with highlights including an Office Olympics (Dunderball, anyone?), a character lookalike contest, appearances by cast and crew and performances by the Scrantones, the band that recorded the show’s theme music.

“If people leave here saying, `I had a blast in Scranton,’ then we’ve achieved our goal,” said Michele Dempsey, 35, an architect and Scranton native who came up with the idea for the convention.

Is anybody attending? If you are and have stories or pictures, please contact us, we would love to hear how it is going!

Zuppit has posted twelve awesome animated icons from the season premiere. The Stanley one is awesome, but I ended up picking up the entire set. Thanks Zuppit!

…There’s barely more than a day left until the new season of The Office begins! And in our gleeful anticipation, we took the time to hammer out 10 possible plots we wouldn’t mind seeing this year…

7. Angela thinks she might be pregnant. As a result, anything that might in any way harm her baby is forbidden, including loud talking, laughing, singing and Oscar.

6. Andy finds out that his college ex-girlfriend, who was in the Cornell A Cappella group True or Falsetto, had a son the year after they graduated. He brings the son to work to see how successful his Daddy is, and somehow the little boy takes a big liking to Dwight. The two become thick as thieves (Dwight even lets him hold his bobblehead OUT of the case), which drives Andy insane. But will all of those anger management classes help? Or will he lose his mind and punch Dwight square in the crotch? It should also be mentioned the episode ends with Dwight telling Angela he’d like her to procreate a child in the future.

Some fun ideas here.

Thanks to PATRICK for the tip!

Every so often, I poke around Youtube for “Office” content.  I’m always amazed by the amount and variety of it all.  From old interviews with the cast to deleted scenes to fan videos and some random, RANDOM stuff.

So, new challenge!  Submit your idea for the BEST of Youtube: The Office.  Just include the link to the video in the comments section, and submit as many as you want!  Be sure to note if you are the creator of the video so we can tell you how awesome you are!

I’m posting my own submission here (it’s by Atomic Lizard) and it just made fall in love with JAM all over again.
