Last Thursday marked the end of the ongoing romance between Receptionist, Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Salesman, Jim (John Krasinski) in a special hour long Wedding episode of NBC's The Office. After watching the episode I have to say that I was a little disappointed. I don't know if it was all the hype surrounding the episode but I thought it would be more gut busting funny. The episode set itself up for gut busting humor by Michael (Steve Carell), the boss graphically describing to Pam's offended Grandmother and the entire Wedding party how Jim got his future wife pregnant. There was also a scene where Andy (Ed Helms) did the splits and stabbed himself in a not so fun place. Both scenes were amusing but I would have laughed if Michael's comments caused Pam's Grandma to pass out or Andy's incident more resembled the episode of the King of Queens where Doug shot himself with a staple in a bad place.

However the show had its memorable moments with Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) being forced to wear Kleenex boxes to the wedding because his shoes were thrown away, Jim cutting his tie in half to make Pam feel better about ripping her veil and who can forget Pam and Jim tying the knot in front of beautiful Niagara Falls. I also enjoyed the scene based on a YouTube video where each of the characters on The Office danced their way down the aisle at the wedding because it spotlighted each of them in a way that reminded the audience who they are. I thought this best applied to the character of Dwight (Rainn Wilson) who danced his way down the aisle and kicked a Bridesmaid in the face because it showed him as the inconsiderate knifing jerk that the fans of the show love.

In conclusion, The Office Wedding was enjoyable but it was not the funniest episode of the show or a Sitcom in general that I have ever seen. Again the Writers might be holding off until Pam goes into labor with her baby because emergency situations on The Office always have a tendency to be extremely funny. There is also going to be a shocking revelation that may generate a lot of comedy, I won't give it away if you haven't seen the Wedding episode but make sure you watch the ending credits.
