I'll agree, that was funny in a weird way. Probably because it's so Michael, as well as being at the same time both the perfect and the absolute worst thing to say.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
And it was exactly what Jan had said. There was no subtext there.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Really -- how many sitcoms would venture so close to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?-land?
That's funny. While we were watching, my wife asked, "Did Edward Albee cross a picket line to write this?"
30 Rock was very, very funny tonight.
That it was. The very idea of "MILF Island" still gives me the giggles. I've forgotten the four most important demographics, though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Watching The Office. Pain. Lots of pain. I want to kill Jan.

Why single out Jan? Michael also bears a lot of the responsibility. (Serious or joking, it's never a good idea to tell your SO, "I'm living in Hell!") Though she did plan a menu that wouldn't be ready until three hours after everyone got there.

We laugh now, but 5 or 6 years down the line some new Fox executive hungry for reality programming to develop is going to remember that episode and get the premise greenlighted.

I have a feeling Michael had a hand in the selection of the menu. It's just his style to make the party last as long as possible. Consider what he did to make the party happen in the first place!

Because I just dont like Jan and I think she represents the worst of the worst of overbearing, manipulative, bitchy women.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Can't argue with that. On the other hand, as long as she and Michael are together, there are two decent people out there that they aren't making miserable.
