Watching one of my favorite episodes of The Office, “The Dundies.” An awkward faux-awards ceremony at a Chilli’s where Phyllis receives the “Bushiest Beaver” Award and Pam gets drunk. Then she drunk kisses Jim. What’s NOT to love?

For nine seasons The Office followed a group of average looking Americans who had nothing in common except for working in the same place. We watched them form friendships and romantic relationships—ordinary interactions that happen to common folks. Mixed with awkward humor and bizarre situations, their crossing from co-workers to friends, was presented in such a beautiful way: ordinary. Like Pam’s swan song—“There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn’t that kind of the point?”—that was what The Office gave its viewers. Well that, and “that’s what she said.”

To make it even better, the finale brought realistic closure to its favorite office employees:

  • Kevin was fired and bought a bar
  • Angela & Dwight got married
  • Erin’s biological parents found her
  • Darryl is living a good life at a better job
  • Creed was arrested
  • Andy was hired by Cornell
  • Stanley retired
  • Meredith is still a drunk
  • Toby was fired and remained unhappy
  • Nellie left to Europe and got the baby she always wanted
  • Oscar is running for State Senate
  • Phyllis found her new Stanley
  • Pam and Jim sold their home and move to maybe Austin
  • Michael Scott returned to watch his kids marry each other.

And by tying up loose ends in this simple way, it showed that beauty Pam was talking about.

 

Gosh, I just love gambling here in Vegas. Sure, I may lose $100,000 but the drinks are free so it evens out!
