Oh, D! (THE OFFICE CONTENT INSIDE)


Recommended Posts

Apparently McCain named Dwight Schrute as his running mate on "The Daily Show" last week. Here's Dwight's response/list of demands (as read, in part, by Rainn Wilson on Leno):

###

My fellow Americans and select Canadians,

My name is Dwight K. Schrute. Recently, it was brought to my attention that a Presidential candidate has selected me as his Vice President -- or as I prefer, Assistant President. I was not surprised by this information, because I am the only suitable choice. As this country’s second in command, I will be cunning; wily; exceedingly loyal to my superiors; and will not hesitate to use heavy artillery. However, unlike my predecessor, I will not fire it off in a friend’s face.

As for Mr. Jonathan McCain: I will accept your offer, old man. But before I do, certain terms must be agreed upon.

• I may borrow Air Force One whenever I want. I am not required to refill the tank. When piloting Air Force One, I am only to be addressed as “Iceman.”

• Effective immediately, Jack Bauer is promoted to Secretary of Defense.

• I demand full government financing of research programs into the beet as an alternative energy source. Beet juice is cheaper than gasoline, better-tasting and only slightly flammable.

• My bunker must contain a foosball table and be zombie-proof.

• Secret Service members are to be armed with guns, nunchucks, throwing stars and flamethrowers.

• I would like a flamethrower.

• From now on, the National Anthem will be replaced with Van Halen’s “Panama.”

• My current employer, Michael Scott, has asked for an advisory position, a la Karl Rove. I am not adverse to this; however, it is not a deal-breaker. The rest of my coworkers are to be placed in an internment camp. And the entire city of Scranton should be surrounded by a wall and converted into a futuristic prison.

• I want to see an eagle fight a falcon. Whoever survives is our nation’s mascot.

• No more tours of the White House. I distrust schoolchildren.

• All pictures of Abraham Lincoln are to be removed. He is creepy.

• J.K. Rowling should be required by law to write a new Harry Potter book. If she refuses, I advise torture.

• All of the above items are negotiable. Except for the flamethrower. Basically, if you get me a flamethrower, I’m on board.

In conclusion, I consider it an honor and a privilege to serve the American people. I will display complete loyalty to my President. I will take a bullet for him and even provide a quality foot massage. But if, say, Barack Obama values that loyalty more highly … I’m going wherever they value loyalty the most. Make me an offer. And America -- at 3 a.m., when the phone rings in the White House … I won’t even hear it. I’m an extremely sound sleeper. Vote Schrute!

I saw him do this on TV; it was pretty hilarious. There were definitely things he cut out when he read it on TV, though, and there are also a few more things he added in. I'll see if I can find a video of it.

I agree. For a pretty disappointing season, this episode was amazing.

yeah, it was pretty good.

im wondering how they are going to handle the Pam and Jim wedding though. the cliche "office wedding episode/finale"

the entire show has pretty much wrote itself into a corner with jim and pam. either they get married and it gets even more boring than when they were in a relationship, or something happens and they are put into a "ross/rachel" situation from friends.

either way, boring.

I have a feeling Toby is going to take over Ryan's job.

Pam going to NY for 3 months, corporate being in NY, and Pam saying Toby is cute are all damn good signs.

This would rule. Pam and Jim need a rift in their relationship. They're too perfect.

or what if jim gets ryans job?

also the phone bit in the beginning was awesome. old school right there. i always loved when jim messed with dwight.

best part is when mr. scott gave toby his going away present....i actually laughed out loud. didnt do that to much this season.
