One of favorite recurring gags in the show is the way that everyone seemingly loves Jim yet will turn on him at the drop of a hat

You should make an Office encyclopedia like they do for the Bible where you show every time a topic or word is used with references. You’re the only one qualified and we need it.

WHAT DOES A BEAN MEAN!!!???

Jim James Jimothy was the funniest thing Michael Scott ever said.

great video again!! not sure if you or any other fans knew what Michael was trying to say but it’s a funny palindrome “a man, a plan, a canal: Panama.“ I love how Andy is the one to correct him.

I’ve loved this episode for the soul fact that it shows the parallel between Jim and Michael. Jim thinks he knows best and what to do but completely botches it. Michael than again shows that experience rules over all and I believe this is shown throughout the time that Jim was co-branch manager. Just my opinion tho

Jim as a manager arc bugs me a bit with how it shows a bit of Jim’s most arrogant side, but this arc was a change of pace that the writers needed a new storyline & some of character development changes were nice to see. I love when Jim is humbled by some of his experiences when he’s a bit over his head, especially by Michael.

Ideally, Jim should have been moved out of that office. His ideas & concepts are sound, but they would never go over in that office without everyone hating him. Despite his solid sales record, they all still know him as the pranking guy that doesn't take anything seriously, but is now suddenly a manager over them. Michael obviously doesn't help matters, but Jim didn't learn his lesson from the birthday party issue and the time they had to work late, but got locked in. Also, you live within jogging distance of a place that sells pizza, ice cream AND doughnuts? How are you able to resist?

0:00 Best montage in Office fandom history!!

Honesty, giving raises only to the sales staff seems backwards to me; the non-sales staff should get the raises because they don't have the option of earning commissions.

im binge watching these videos and cant get "what does a bean mean" out of my head 😂😂

It's odd that the beans idea is so ill-received given that it is a basic "shares" concept. Everyone gets 1 share, then sales gets a share, then seniority, then HR performance, etc. But what really bugs me is how they seemingly have no control over a trouble-making subordinate (Dwight). If I was Michael/Jim, I'd have removed all the beans from Dwight's plate for doing that and made him watch.

Another awesome breakdown especially with the deeper meaning. Loved the doughnut skit aswell🤣🙌

My favorite episode next week I’m pumped! I’ve now officially watched all of these as well lol

Something you seemed to miss about the cold opening, is that Dwight was being incredibly childish and disrespectful to Jim. He used please with Michael, but he demanded Jim to sign his expense report, he didn't even state what he wanted Jim to sign. It's also possible this isn't even the first interaction they had they had since Jim's promotion, with Dwight acting petty and jealous every time. I dont think Jim teasing Dwight was the right response, and if this were real life, Dwight would have probably been given a warning for behaving unprofessionally.

At this point, I really want to know what a bean means.

I love this episode and think its one of the best written office episodes of any seasons. It was a very unique setting and shift in the character dynamics

The word Conference no longer sounds like a word to me

Now I want donuts Also, in my family, a walk/jog, stop to eat, walk/jog, is known as a “triathlon”. Just incase you want to start “triathlon” training.

Could you remove the music and just have you talking. Hearing the music it's distracting.

bring back the old intro

First time watching the channel and loved the video. Also, I really think that the donut sketch should have been a solid reference to the rabies run episode where Stanley Kevin and Creed (I think, it has been a while) get into the car and drive to a restaurant instead of running.

I hope your t-shirt slogan is referring to this new field guide style being just experimental and not permanent. You know I'm a huge fan of yours but I don't like this intro, the continuous music, the 'blah" graphics, etc... I think you are most excellent at how you chop and edit so many great scenes together. But this format just didn't seem as "fun" as your previous videos. If I'm being completely honest, it didn't seem as though you yourself even enjoyed it that much. "Niagara" is my favorite episode of the series and I've been so excited to see your field guide of it. So I hope next week is in the previous format that we've all come to love. You know I'll always watch you and you're still the best KZfaq channel THAT EVER EXISTED!! :) Also, you gotta give shout-outs to the weekly winners of trivia and easter eggs....we work hard for that recognition! :)

13:35 - To be fair, after Jim said he shouldn't prank Dwight anymore due to his Season 3 promotion, he ended up changing his mind that very episode. So he didn't really learn it at the time.

Did anyone notice that the trivia challenge was unchanged from "The Meeting" (the previous episode)? Three states, cheese, Andy, etc.?

Love this episode. Best Jim/Micheal moment until the finale IMO (in terms of feels).

Looking at this in retrospect, it reminds me of Ed Truck's advice to Michael. Being the boss means people are going to dislike you when you have to make unpopular decisions. Sometimes the decisions are rational and correct, and sometimes they aren't, but regardless, people need the camaraderie of being unified by bitching about the boss. If you can't handle the complaints and general dislike, you can't be a boss.

The sudden existence of a second private office magically appearing, with no mention of it or its construction is something I have always hated. Really breaks the immersion. I actually hate that tiny glass room, by proxy. Any time it's featured in the show, it makes my skin crawl.

"what does a bean mean?" "Frank and beans"

I actually found the easter egg on my own!! :) It just made my day! Its at 5:05!

It's great for you that you live in a place that has palm trees!

Love your vids but wtf is the constant background doing in this video

Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Illinois? Am I not remembering correctly or is this a trick question? 🤣

Maybe this episode just doesn’t have a deeper meaning…

5:05!!!!

That desk was also andy's when he returned from anger management in s3, until Karen filipelli left

Nice vid as usual but the background music might be a bit to loud (or too present) and I had difficulties to follow your speaking as I do usually.

But... But what DOES a bean mean?

Did u see Paul liebersteins clip on why michael hates Toby? Thought it was interesting

Why didn't they make Jim assistant manager? Comanager makes no sense

love the video, dislike the music

What always got me with this episode is that Jim and Michael way overthought the whole thing. Just spread the raises out among everyone. People would have understood getting smaller cost of living adjustments during an economic downturn. It was the playing favorites that they had a problem with.

I believe that this entire Co-Manager Plot SUCKED in my opinion as we had the WORST Episode of the office Scott Tots That should not existed in the first place

I always see you ask why everyone hates Pam and I'm just rewatching the last season since my first watch through and season 9 is why I hate pam in season 9 but I like her alot the rest of the show
