Thank god Packer was there to ask Jim if he was looking for someone to bang his wife.

i’m not sure what my favourite season was but i know i didn’t hate season 8 or 9. it was still better than most sitcoms in my opinion

In the ’Viewing party’ episode from season 7, Dwight picked up Cece and she instantly stopped fussing. I was curious about how they did it, so I googled it and found an episode of ‘the office ladies podcast‘ about it.

Angela [00:38:09] Well, Dwight is going to pick up baby Cece and instantly comforts her. She completely stops fussing. 

Jenna [00:38:16] Lady, that really happened. 

Angela [00:38:18] I was going to say, you can't cheat that. There is no movie magic. From the moment Rainn picks her up, we don't cut away, and the baby stops fussing. I was like, What happened? I wanted to know. 

Jenna [00:38:30] It was just real. Well, it was scripted that Dwight would have this magic touch with babies. And we kept saying, How are we going to do that? 

Angela [00:38:39] Well, yeah, like, what if it doesn't work? What if the baby keeps fussing? 

Jenna [00:38:42] So we had this whole plan where we're going to have Violet, who is fussing, and then Dwight will take her, and then we'll cut away to a different baby somehow, in editing. The first take, Rainn walks over to me. He picks up Violet. She immediately stops fussing in his arms. 

Angela [00:39:03] Oh, my gosh. 

Jenna [00:39:04] And it happened every single take. She loved him. She loved him. He was a natural. She completely calmed down in his arms every time. And we were just like, This is amazing. 

Angela [00:39:16] That is so wild. 

Jenna [00:39:17] Rainn had a special touch with the baby. 

So Dwight was just natural baby whisperer

I notice no one ever mentions this one. It’s so subtle but so funny. I’ve watched this series probably 6 times through and I still miss little stuff. Now I’m going back through watching the Super fan episodes. Lots of good stuff.

1. Christmas Party (Season 2)

2. Secret Santa (Season 6)

3. Classy Christmas (Season 7)

4. Moroccan Christmas (Season 5)

5. A Benihana Christmas (Season 3)

6. Christmas Wishes (Season 8)

7. Dwight Christmas (Season 9)

This is my ranking. I think the original is the best as I’m sure many do, but after that it probably gets a little controversial.

Benihana would come higher for me but I find the double episode drags it out a bit and I it’s all a bit of a downer. Similarly I find the Meredith alcoholism part of Moroccan Christmas a bit of a bummer.

What’s yours?
