“Didn’t Ben Franklin have syphilis?” “Yes. But I don’t.” Best pickup line EVER.

Something about Jim ordering a Ben Franklin impersonator instead of a male stripper made me die of laughter

You Should Rank Jim’s pranks!

I cant believe you didnt mention Elizabeth 'The Stripper' also appears in season 4 and the final episode! She also played a stripper on Friends!

Is it weird that I would want a Ben Franklin stripper at my bachelorette party? IDC...I'm a history buff..into buff history.

I would give this episode a 3/5; one extra point awarded solely for Jim's greatest save of the entire series -> when he answered, "blonde" to Dwight's question, "Brunette or redhead?" Btw, I'm really enjoying all of these field guides! Excellent content. 😌

I personally think that Michael is the Ben Franklin of this episode. A seemingly good-intentioned man in a committed relationship who got a little frisky when he was away on work. The point of the episode is that Michael realizes that he doesn’t want to be like Ben Franklin, instead emulating the stripper by taking her advice and confessing to Jan.

Andy Daly is the most hilarious comedian you barely know

The other potential strippers are Recyclops and Polluticorn

Albert Einstein and spongebob squarepants since he called scholastic

You know what, Mulverine? You are correct. I've always had that feeling, but couldnt describe it. Thats exactly it. This episode totally belongs to Season 2. Genius! Once again, genius! My man!

I won the 2002 $2,500 no limit deuce to seven draw tournament at the World Series of poker in Vegas. Sooo yeah. I’m pretty good at poker.

I love how Packer breaks a pencil when he sits down in Michael's office 🤣

Making me love Thursday’s more and more I love how you’re trying new things with each video, graphics and now a face revealed intro Keep up the good work you’re hitting your stride

0:54 Albert Einstein, Spongebob and of course Ben Franklin.

One of my favorite office episodes of all time. You left out my favorite clip about stripper turning I have to be really great and Ben Franklin turning out to be a creep.

I actually think this is a very good episode, deserves 4/5 and not 2/5.

My favorite part of this episode is Dwight trying to expose Ben Franklin.

Cognitive dissonance is generally used in moral philosophy, though your explanation is 100% correct. It does make it easier to understand if you for example consider: someone who pays for the slaughter of dogs, knows what's happening on the dog farms, yet somehow does mental gymnastics or pushes the thoughts away/thinks about them quite casually, but still values dogs are beings with a right to life. It's an extremely nuanced topic. For example, you know cars pollute but you are also an environmentalist. Is that cognitive dissonance or are you doing calculation based in what provides the most utility towards your morals? (Let's say your morals are towards preserving the environment, but using your car will help you get to your job where you do research on alternative fuels) Edit spelling

I love Thursday all of my favorite youtubers upload

Ok I gave hours for someone to have a chance but my patience has come to and end. Starts at around 5:41 at the very bottom. Sneaky but not enough to hide him from me

Speaking of reviews, Andy Daly starred in a show called Review

Oscar is gone from this episode on, as Kevin put it, "He's Gayation"

I always took the stripper actress choice as a reference to Friends. She plays a stripper there, in Chandler's depressing bachelor party

THIS episode is hilarious and totally underated!!!

yes chris i love the new format!

USE THE BARREL ROLL I’m not a gamer but that was awesome

2:20 I seen that guy in Mad TV, Yogi Bear, Middle School The Worst Year of My Life, A Haunted House, and in Reno 911.

To be fair, Pam hasn't reached rock bottom just yet.

2:07 any reason Packer’s shoes are untied?

Cognitive dissonace also applies to if you believe 2 mutually exclusive things. It comes up a lot in lukewarm religious people and it frustrates me when i see it

Something that didn't get mentioned in this review, but I noticed right away the first time that I saw this episode. Karen says that they had some "really good talks" and Jim mentions that they "had a long talk last night and the night before that and every night, for the last five nights". Did anyone else think that when they said "talk", they really meant "sex"? It's not just me, is it?

Was that Lylat wars on N64? I loved that game

I never understood why our most loved President was not featured on any of our currency? Not to Mention good ole Ben created electricity, then showed it to Nicola Tesla and Tesla used that info to make Electric Cars!

It’s so hard to find them

Yvette Nicole Brown is Helen from Drake and Josh: I grew up on Helen. She was not unknown to me!

I actually really love this episode! I'd put it top five all time!

Holy crap dude. You look just like David Cross.

Wait the sound is different!!!

In addition to being a hilarious comedian (I've enjoyed his work on many Comedy Central shows), Andy Daly is not bad in the looks department. I always thought Pam's reaction to his seeking a date with her was odd. Obviously, she likes Jim and isn't as open to dating other men as she pretends to be, but her treating this guy like he's repulsive seems odd. He's charming, funny, handsome, he teaches history, and he can tie a cherry stem with his tongue.

No Oscar and No Toby makes this a 5 out of 5 episode !!! The worst characters that were in more than 100 episodes: Oscar, Meredith, Toby. Three characters that should have replaced them: David, Holly and Jan.

Found them in 1:02

Is this the face reveal I'm confused

It’s probably Meredith’s bra...

Usually I rewatch Jim Pam moments. This one about REM cycles is too cringe though, I can't even watch it once.

Turn the power off. No ⚡️⚡️

Found em 1:02

Shoutouts are lame

I'm convinced they wanted "talk" as a euphemism for "sex" to be a running joke, but either dropped it or didn't find it funny enough. Jim's does his whole thing about "talking" to Karen for five nights in a row with that sly Jim grin on his face. I mean, honestly folks, their issue was pretty straightforward; there just couldn't be that much to talk about for five nights in a row to the point that Jim wasn't getting enough sleep. Then when season 4 starts, we see Pam's talking head go on about how she "talked" Jim through his breakup. Again, with a little shit-eating grin to go along with it. Like, these two have been in love with each other for quite some time, we really think Pam wants to talk about Karen now that she's finally gotten her hooks into this man? No, no she does not. To my knowledge, it never comes back up. I don't know if it would have worked as a joke with anyone else because it doesn't really fit the personality of any of the other characters.

Mulverine. No, I’m more off-putting.

That stripper was WAY hotter than "kind of" lol... just WAY 😆
