The Finer Things Club


Pam should have been barred for life for bringing Jimothy in to the club. This story line made no sense because Andy would have been perfect and would have bankrolled their efforts to read other crappy books like Angela's Ashes.

Get on the scale son! Get off the scale.

Just another example of how awful the writers were on this show. Instead of doing the sensible thing for the Andy character they fail, because they have such a massive throbbing, veiny, pulsating hard-on for Halpert that they give him the honors instead.

Agree. Oscar and Toby would have booted Pam long before they would have let Jim in.

Still, the storyline had a hilarious Michael/Toby moment.

Snazzy bowtie Toby :-)

reply

Isn't that the time Michael says "My god. This is why people are leaving" or something to that effect when he turns to see Toby in his bowtie? LOL Hahahaha!


"Your petty vengeance fetish will have to do withOUT Mr. Groin!"

That's the one; I love the patheticness of Toby, he's so underrated.

reply

Nope they wouldn't have kicked her out and I'll tell you why. Toby is practically in love with her.

How is Toby not murdered every hour?

Get on the scale son! Get off the scale.

reply

Reason is since HE actually murders every hour cause he's....the Scranton strangler!

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

reply

Because he is Bacchus's friend.

Andy may have WANTED to be in the club, but would he have FIT in it?

Andy is a crude banjo-player and people-pleaser, not to mention manipulator. He also has an anger problem and some form of OCD judging from his reactions to when things don't go his way (think about his cell phone in the ceiling).

Andy is EXTREMELY UNLIKABLE character, that would never have TRULY appreciated the 'finer things'. His motivation to join the club was obviously wrong. He wanted to join the club because it's 'exclusive', not because he actually naturally and organically appreciates the 'finer things'.

He is also trying to WEASEL his way in; how would that be compatible with people that just want to quietly appreciate these 'finer things' and discuss them honestly?

Whatever you say about Pam (and I don't like her on any level), she at least seemed to honestly appreciate the 'finer things' an wanted to discuss them, and in my opinion, she would've been a good fit for the club.

Of course bringing Jim in, immediately destroyed the whole thing, so there's that.

Andy might have been good on some levels, he would've supported the club enthusiastically and driven some kind of ego fix from it, but in the end, such a club was doomed to fail sooner or later.
