I watched an episode of The Office this evening. It was the one where Michael, Andy and Oscar go on a business trip and Andy wants to be Oscar's wing man. Andy and Oscar got drunk on Long Island Iced Tea and called Angela to ask her what is wrong with her. They were funny. But Steve Carell wasn't. His acting kind of sucked. I'm convinced that Ricky Gervais could do the exact same lines that Carell does and deliver them better. I don't think it's the writing. I think it's the acting. Not to mention that it's painful to watch the way Steve Carell kisses.
Dwight did nothing for me in this episode. His wild eyed stare just seems really forced. He says stupid things but I don't find him endearing. If Gareth had been saying the exact same lines it would have been a different story. I love the actor who plays Gareth. He is funny.
