I searched 'talking' 'head' and 'favorite talking head scene' and did not find a thread for it.

My top favorite talking heads are:

Toby -casino night- I don't really play cards, but I'm not gonna lie to you. It felt really good to take money from Michael. Gonna chase that feeling. ...

Angela-business school-Poop is raining from the ceilings. Poop!

Jan-cocktails- I am taking a calculated risk. What's the upside? I overcome my nausea, fall deeply in love, babies, normalcy, no more self loathing. Downside? I, uh, date Michael Scott publicly and collapse in on myself like a dying star.

Michael-womens appreciation- In all the excitement, I forgot that my primary goal is to keep people safe. Women can't have fun if they don't feel safe. For example, Jan and I have a safe word in case things go too far. Foliage. And if one of us says that word, the other one has to stop. Although last time... she pretended she didn't hear me.


Kevin-Casino Night- I suck...

Pam - When she said talked about Angela not liking betting. I forget her exact words, but it was something about smacking Angela.

No words, just Ryan's eyes shifting side to side after he heard Dwight and Angela's "cookie" conversation.

Just a few of my favourites...

Creed: I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the sixties I made love to many many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain. And it was possible a man slipped in, and there would be no way of knowing.

Pam: It's performance review day, company-wide. Last year, my performance review started with Michael asking me what my hopes and dreams were, and it ended with him telling me he could bench-press 190 pounds. So, I don't really know what to expect.

Michael: I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself.

Creed: www.creedthoughts.gov.www/creedthoughts. Check it out.

Michael: Tonight is the Dundies, the annual employee awards night here at Dunder Mifflin. [holds up a trophy of a business man] And this is everybody's favorite day. Everybody looks forward to it, because, you know, a lot of the people here don't get trophies, very often. Like Meredith or Kevin, I mean, who's gonna give Kevin an award? Dunkin' Donuts?

Creed: I find it offensive. Au natural, baby. That's how I like 'em. Swing low, sweet chariots.

Michael: Todd Packer and I are total BFF. Best Friends Forever. He and I came up together as salesmen. One time, we were out and we met this set of twins. And Packer told them that we were brothers. And so, you know, one thing led to another, and we brought em back to the motel. And then Packer did both of them. It was awesome. So...

Michael: Why did the convict have to be a black guy? It is such a stereotype. I just wish that Josh had made a more progressive choice. Like a white guy... who went to prison for... polluting a black guy's lake.

Dwight: I am greatly concerned about having a convict in the office. And I do not care if that convict is white, black, Asian, German, or some kind of halfsy. I do not like criminals.

And here's a few from the UK Version (though they may be lost in translation)

Brent: Neil makes me laugh though, because, you know, it’s his interfering, it’s his timing. Going on about he wants some report doing-it’s red nose day, you know. Ooh, what’s more important, you Neil, with your report, or some starving children? Ooh I don't know. Ooh what would Lenny Henry say? I think we know-imagine him going out of the door on comic relief day and Dawn French is going ‘Where you going, you haven’t done the washing up. You haven’t put the rubbish out.’ ‘Do it yourself I’ve gotta save some Africans!’. (This is actually the talking head I've used as my avatar where Brent is giving the finger!)

Gareth: That's one reason why gays shouldn't be allowed into the army. Because if we're in battle, is he going to be looking at the enemy, or is he going to be looking at me and going "Ooh. He looks tasty in his uniform". And I'm not homophobic, all right? Come round, look at my CDs. You'll see Queen, George Michael, Pet Shop Boys. They're all bummers.

Brent: Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don’t know whether you’re in a trough until you’re climbing out, or on a peak until you’re coming down. And that’s it you know, you never know what’s round the corner. But it’s all good. ‘If you want the rainbow, you’ve gotta put up with the rain.’ Do you know which philosopher said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she’s just a big pair of tits.”

I could go on all night

There have been many favorites, for instance I like the one with Jim and the inflatable date. But as many great ones as there have been, one shines above all others for me and it ends with the words "What was the question?"

Wow, so many great talking heads to choose from. however, the one that I'm thinking about right now is Dwight's from Health Care. I'm not exactly sure how it went, but I know that you guys know the one I'm talking about, right?

Here's the first one I thought of:

Ryan: (running fingers through hair) "I hooked up with Kelly on February 13th."

I do love Angela's TH! " Looks like some one took the slow train from Philly" and " Sometimes I just think you need to grow a pair"

Since i cantget a transcript cause god **** scholl blocked everything ill just state it

Jim in the cold open for product recall

Pam is my favorite character, so I'll start with some of my favorites:

(Not including Pam/Jim collabs. because those are automatically the best)

Pilot: "I don't think it would be the worst thing if they let me go because then I might... I don't think it's many little girls' dream to be a receptionist. I like to do illustrations. Um... Mostly watercolor. A few oil pencil. Um, Jim thinks they're good."

The Dundies: "You know what they say about a car wreck, where it's so awful you can't look away? The Dundies are like a car wreck that you want to look away, but you have to stare at it because your boss is making you."

The Fire: "Katy and Jim met in the office. And now I guess they're like going out, or dating, or something. And, uh... I don't know! You know? They're just... She calls him, and they... You know, I'm sorry. I feel like I'm talking really loud. Am I talking really loud?"

The Fire: "I forgot what a super, nice girl Katy is. And just... good for Jim! They are so cute together. And, um, what an adorable car."

Halloween: "I'm guessing Angela's the one in the neighborhood who gives the trick-or-treaters some toothbrushes. Pennies. Walnuts."

E-Mail Surveillance: "Just because two people are hanging out, it doesn't mean that they're together, you know? Like people can just be friends. And I think that it was really unfair to think that there was anything else going on."

Boys and Girls: "I don't know how I fit in with these women. Here. Or with Jan. Um... I mean we get along great. Fine. Um... I guess the person I have the most in common with is..."

Valentine's Day: "I really like Valentine's Day in this office. It's kinda like grade school. Everybody gives out little presents and stuff. Like last year, Jim gave me this card, with Dwight's head on it, it was horrifying and funny and..."

Michael's Birthday: "Michael's birthday was actually pretty cool. It was a good day. I don't know... It was a good day."

Drug Testing: "[laughs] Jim does the best impressions. Sometimes he'll look up at me from his desk and he'll just be someone else. Like he'll go um, [makes mournful face, giggles] that's supposed to be Phyllis. I can't do it as good as he can."

Drug Testing: "Wow! He really pulled out the big guns. Fake crying. Did not expect that."

The Convention: "I went on a date. It wasn't a love connection, um... I think when I like someone again, I'll just kinda know."

The Coup: "Movie Monday started with training videos, but we went through those pretty fast. Then we watched a medical video. Since then, it's been half hour installments of various movies, with the exception of an episode of Entourage, which Michael made us watch six times."

Diwali: "I decided to come. Uh... I feel a little under-dressed... but at least I'm not dressed like a slutty cheerleader, right? Is that mean?"

The Merger: "The day's going fine. It's been a little chaotic but it's fine. It's great! A lot of distractions. But, it's good."

Back From Vacation: "No, I didn't mind helping Jim with his problem. That's what friends do. I help Phyllis all the time. Just yesterday, I untangled a piece of tape from her hair. So, yeah."

Traveling Salesman: "Yeah I did a watercolor of Frances Willard Elementary School for a contest they were having. They were calling with the results. And I won. I won! My painting won. So I like to thank my mom for always encouraging me. And I like to thank my dad for buying me my first set of art pencils. And I'd like to thank the sixth grade class that picked me."

Phyllis' Wedding: "Phyllis... ended up using the exact same invitations as Roy and me. So it was kind of like being invited to my own wedding. And I was like 'Wait, thought I called that off'."

Cocktails: "I have decided that I'm going to be more honest. I'm going to tell people what I want. Directly. So, look out world, cause ol' Pammy is getting what she wants. And, don't call me Pammy."

Women's Appreciation: "I don't often miss Roy. But I can tell you one thing. I wish someone had flashed me when I was with Roy. Because that would have been the ***-kicking of the year. [small laugh] Especially if it had been Jim. He would not have wanted me to have seen Jim's... Whoo, I am... I am saying a lot of things."

Women's Appreciation: "I'm kind of in-between boyfriends right now. So I don't need anything sexy. But I do need some new hand towels. I figure I can cut up this robe."

The Job: "After I had my little outburst at the beach, Jim was really nice about it. He just basically said that he missed my friendship too and I would always mean a lot to him and I understand where he's coming from. For the record, I am not embarassed at all. It needed to be said, and I said it, and it only took me three years to summons the courage, so [quietly, and mock bowing] thank you."

The Job: "No, I don't know what the future holds, but... I'm optimistic. And, uh, I had fun goofing around with Dwight today. Jim and I... are just... too similar. Maybe one day I'll find my own Karen. But--- you--- that is, a, um, you know, not--- A man. A man version. But, uh, until then... I can hold my head up. ... I'm not gay."

The Job: "[to camera, tearing up, smiling] I'm sorry, what was the question?"

(Sorry for the length, but I <3 Pam).

I loved the look on Pam's face after she spoke about the medical video. Actually, that would make a great animated gif!



That's what she said

I think this is my all time favorite. Also like:

Michael: Does that make me their doctor? Well, yeah, like a specialist.

Darryl: And then an employee who shall remain nameless pulled the ladder out from under me and said… Michael: Hey Darryl, How's it hangin'?

Kelly: I didn't really think about death until Princess Diana died. That was the saddest funeral ever. That and my sister's.

Phyllis: Dwight had a big personality and so did I (or something along those lines).

Creed: Honestly, I love stealing things. I stopped caring a long time ago.

Also Creed: I'd like to give a shoutout to my friends in Hong Kong.

Toby: It's true I've never won a dundie. I'm more than okay with that.

Be back with more later.

Angela: Sometimes, the clothes at GapKids are just too flashy. So I'm forced to go to the American Girl store and order clothes for large colonial dolls.

Jim: I miss Dwight. Congratulations, Universe. You win.

Andy's song: Oompa, loompa, doopity dawesome
Dwight is now gone which is totally awesome!
Why is he gone? He was such a nice guy.
No, he was not, he was a total douche.

My brother didn't see that episode and I had to sing the song for him about twenty times. I'm sure that the last few were purely for his amusement and had little to do with what Andy actually said.

My favorite for pure laughs is Dwight's "I Miss Jim" TH in Gay Witch Hunt.

I also like Jim's TH with his inflatable European girlfriend.

YES!


And YES!

And . . .

Creed: I find it insulting. Au Naturale, that's how I like em. Swing low, sweet chariots.

Thos are the three that make me laugh out loud every time.

That's one of my absolute favorites:

Dwight: In the wild, there is no healthcare. In the wild, heathcare is ow, I hurt my leg, I can’t run, a lion eats me, and I’m dead. Well, I’m not dead. I’m the lion. You’re dead.


There are so many to choose from. I also have to add:

Creed: Yep, that's exactly what happened. (Christmas Episode, Okay, it's funnier with Jim's talking head beforehand.)

and

Creed: I find it offensive. Au naturelle, baby. That’s how I like ‘em. Swing low, sweet chariots.

Those make me laugh every time!!

I should stop there, because otherwise I'll find myself going on and on and and on . . . .

I like (ones I don't see listed here, yet, anyway):

Dwight: I think one of the greatest things about modern America is the computerization of medical records. As a volunteer sheriff, I can look up anyone's psychiatric records or surgical histories. Yeast infections. There are a huge number of yeast infections in this county. Probably because we're down river from that old bread factory.

Also, the open to Office Olympics...

Michael: I am an early bird, and I am a night owl. So I'm wise, and I have worms.

Michael had two on Casino Night that were golden...

There are certain topics that are off-limits to comedians. JFK. AIDS. The Holocaust. The Lincoln assassination just recently became funny. "I need to see this play like I need a hole in the head." And I hope to someday live in a world where a person could tell a hilarious AIDS joke. It's one of my dreams.

Two queens on Casino Night. I am going to drop a deuce on everybody. (not really a TH, I know, but he was alone with the camera in his office).

Perhaps my personal favorite heartbreaker came in the deleted scenes of The Client...

Jim: What was my worst first date? Umm, it was a couple years ago. It was a lunch date, actually, it was right down here at Cugino's. And we had just met, and we really hit it off...it was kinda nice. And, uhh, then as it turned out it wasn't even a date, because she was actually in love with someone else. So, best first date is also my worst first date, oddly enough.

That's what she said
[/quote]

Excellent timing and usage of this line Brentmeister. So UK Office. Love it.

This one never fails me.

Dwight from Office Olympics:

"I have been Michael's #2 guy for about 5 years. And we make a great team. We're like one of those classic famous teams. He's like Mozart, and I'm like Mozart's friend. No. I'm like Butch Cassidy, and Michael is like Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart; you're going to get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."

Great topic! (still trying to get caught up after the long weekend). I love so many, but I just felt like posting this back-to-back from Sexual Harassment:

Michael: Times have changed a little. And even though we're still a family here at Dunder-Mifflin, families grow. And at some point, the daddy can't take a bath with the kids anymore. I am Upper Management. And it would be inappropriate for me to take a bath with Pam. As much as I might want to.

Pam: He said what?



I think that sometimes it's all too easy to identify with Pam based on the Jim-Pam storyline. It's moments like that that make me identify with Pam for having to put up with all the craziness that having a boss like Michael has to offer.

I LOVE Ryan's silence in Michael's Birthday after he witness the famous exchange between Dwight and Angela..."no cookie!"

One of my faves is Jim in Casino Night talking about Dwight

"It's the strangest thing, every time I cough, he folds." The look on his face and then he walks out of the shot. Cute and funny.

So I guess another one would have to be Dwight's from the same episode where he talks about "an acute ability to read people, Jim for instance has a huge tell, when he gets a good hand, he coughs."

Also in the same episode when Creed talks about how much he loves stealing.

Jim: talking about his best/worst date (and we figure out it's Pam). From "The Client," deleted scenes.

Pam: "It's impractical. They don't even make houses like that in Scranton. So I'm never gonna..." Starts crying. From Boys and Girls.

Jan: "Do you have a light?!" from the client.

Ryan's post-"no cookie" silence

Toby: "It felt really good taking money from Michael. I think I'm gonna chase that feeling."

One more Jim: "Congratulations Universe. You win."

I like the talking head from the Dundies where Jim is talking about what happened in the Dundies and Pam is sitting there nodding her head in agreement and she falls off the stool. Pretty funny.

Also liked the creedthoughts.com one

and who could forget...

"Every night before I go to bed I lay 3 strips of bacon on my George Foreman grill and go to sleep. I wake up in the morning and turn on the machine and go back to sleep. When I wake up I have delicous bacon waiting for me. I like to wake up to the smell of crackling bacon, so sue me" (Sorry if the words weren't exact).

Ryan from The Merger: Yeah, Jim is a nice guy. That’s why I got the desk.

I don't have a particular favorite, but I will say Ryan has the best talking heads.

Okay, I do have a favorite:

"What am I going to do with the award? Nothing. I don't know what I'm going to do. That's the least of my concerns right now."

I like Dwight's talking heads the best.

My favorite is the one where Dwight says "All I see is a chimp begging for his life". I know that isn't the total quote, but the look he gave the camera when he said that cracked me up.

Michaels talking head in Cocktails:

Rachel thinks that I brought homemade potato salad. And I just picked it up at the supermarket. It’s funny, I wish I could make potato salad that good. It’s just potatoes and mayonnaise. There’s something wrong with Jan.

I just love how he goes into "There's something wrong with Jan" at the end without even stopping- it makes me laugh every time

I know, it's an ingenius way to demonstrate that the man has no self-control

YES!



and YES!

I love Jim's TH with the inflatable doll from Sexual Harassment:

I'm in an office relationship. It's special. Um... she's nice. She's shy. She's actually here. You want to meet her? Hold on one second. Oh, my God! Put on a shirt! Put on a... . I told you that you'd be on camera. I'm sorry, she's European. No, I told you that you'd be on camera. Stop it.


and Dwight's TH about his perfect date from Hot Girl:

Let me describe the perfect date. I take her out to a nice dinner. She looks amazing. Some guy tries to hit on her. Uh, now he wants to fight. So I grab him. I throw him into a jukebox. Then the other ninja's got a knife. He comes at me. We grapple. I turn his knife on him. Blood on the dance floor. She's scared now, I take her home. I'm holding her in my arms. I reach in for a kiss. I hear something in the leaves. I flip her around. She gets a poison arrow right in her back. She was in on it the whole time. But, I knew.

Jim talking about Pam "she's so great". aww shucks.

also
Kelly's talking head likening her and Ryan to Romeo and Juliet (the Clare Danes version) methinks this is as close Kelly will ever get to Shakespeare.

Yes, bubblewrap, that's one of my favorites too, for the exact same reason! I love how worried he looks, it's just so perfect.

Thought of another favorite of mine. I absolutely love Pam's in Take Your Daughter to Work Day.

Pam: I'm not very good with kids but I want to get better, cause I'm getting married. So I put out extra candy on my desk so the kids will come talk to me. [pause] Just like the witch in Hansel and Gretel.

My friend and I say this line whenever we get together to watch movies or anything really. We always get candy and share it.

Also, from the Injury (my favorite episode of all time)

Pam: No, Dwight's not my friend. Oh my God, Dwight's kind of my friend.

Michael: Ryan got me pudding, and his kindness healed my foot.

Ryan: I crushed up four extra strength asprin and mixed it in Michael's pudding. I do the same thing with my dog to get him to take his heartworm medicine.

Ok, my ultimate fave (for the moment at least) has to be the last on in "The Job" where Jim asks Pam out. but another one I like is from women's appreciation:

Pam: I don’t often miss Roy. But I can tell you one thing. I wish someone had flashed me when I was with Roy. Because that would have been the ***-kicking of the year. Especially if it had been Jim. He would not have wanted me to have seen Jim’s … whoo, I am, I am saying a lot of things.





FNB is being really honest these days...

Yes, I have decided to shun Andy Bernard for the next 3 years. Which I'm looking forward to. It's an Amish technique. It's like slapping someone with silence. I was shunned from the age of 4 until my 6th Birthday for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna.

Okay, I have to say that for me Dwight probably has the highest percentage of talking heads that make me laugh.

Dwight: My father’s name was Dwight Schrute. My grandfather’s name was Dwight Schrute. His father’s name? Dwide Schrude. Amish

Oh, and I love the series of talking heads that featured everyone's reaction to the "package" left on Michael's carpet. They aren't necessarily great to quote, but I love looking at them all one right after another.

Some of my favorites.

Dwight in Casino Night: I'm Michael's wingman. I've got his back. Two dates. He's got two dates, tonight. My job is to keep Jan away from Carol, and vice versa. Michael said, 'we must deceive them, so as not to hurt them, and in that way, we honor them. (Nods)

Jim in The Convention: You know when I saw Dwight, I realized how stupid and petty all those pranks I pulled on him were, (pause) and then he spoke. I wonder how hard it would be to get a copy of his room key.

Stanley in Performance Review: It's all about my bonus.

Kevin in Gay Witch Hunt: Giggling!

Andy in Traveling Salesman: In order to take down Dwight, I have to chip away at his ally, in this case Michael. And here's the good news. Every success I've ever had within my job, or with the lady folk, has come from my ability to slowly and painfully wear someone down.

Toby in The Negotiation: I don't think Michael intended to punish me by putting Ryan back here with Kelly, but if he did intend that, Wow. Genius.

Pam in Beach Games: About 40 times a year Michael gets really sick, but has no symptoms. Dwight is always gravely concerned.

Another Dwight classic in A Benihana Christmas:

"It is my job to be there for Michael. How can I be there for Michael if I'm here for Michael?"

Yes, I loves how Jim just walks away...also in Beach Games when Jim says how Stanley came after him and he thought he would die...on beach day and waddles out of the shot!!

I love the TH in Booze Cruise with Jim and Pam reading Michaels memo about the toothbrush, swimsuit, and ski mask!

Pam: Jim said mixed berries? Ooohhh... he's got me.






I don't know why I love that so much... (well, yes I do but, still... )

I think all my faves have already been said, but anyway...

Sweet, romantic, and sad...Jim in the deleted scenes of the Client talking about his best
and worst first date with Pam... and later after their rooftop
"date" when he had to say it wasn't really a date again

* Let's hope he gets another on in S4 and gets to really call
it a date! Maybe they'll be together giggling about it

Funny...Dwight in CN talking about watching out for Jan and Carol...We must deceive
them so as not to hurt them, and therefore we honor them. (or something very
similar to this)

I also like all of Jim and Pam's when the end with "Yeah... It was a good day!" and you know it's just because of the other one. Pam...in Michael's Birthday, Jim ...in Diversityl Day...even after he lost the sale to Dwight.

Pam: I have decided that I’m going to be more honest. I’m going to start telling people what I want, directly. So, look out world, ’cause ol’ Pammie is getting what she wants. And don’t call me Pammie.

Wow, some great TH's mentioned here!!! Everyone almost posted all my favorites.

The Negotiation had some classic TH's. From Toby, Michael getting his negotiating tactics from wikipedia, Michael cross-dressing. But my faves are:

After Dwight saves Jim from getting attacked by Roy.
Jim: I guess all things considered, I was lucky Dwight was there. And Roy was lucky that Dwight only used pepper spray. And not the nunchucks or the throwing stars.
Dwight: No, don't call me a hero. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys who wake up every morning, and go into their normal jobs, and get a distress call from the commissioner, and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes.

After Michael threatens to withhold sex from Jan during his salary negotiation
Toby: This may be the first time that a male subordinate has attempted to get a modest scheduled raise by threatening to withhold sex from a female superior. It will be a groundbreaking case when it inevitably goes to trial.

After a number of failed attempts to thank Dwight for saving him, Jim witnesses a Dwangela kiss.
Jim: I will never say a word. And now, we are even.

And one that hasn't been mentioned yet is from The Dundies after Ryan wins the "Hottest in the Office" and gets his butt slapped by Michael.
Ryan: What am I going to do with the award? Nothing. I don't know what I'm going to do. That's the least of my concerns right now.

the ones i can think of off-hand:

1. when jim is explaining how he did the pranks on dwight (paid everyone to call him duane, filled the phone with nickels, etc.)

and

2. the yankee swap episode when kevin realizes maybe he should have gone for the ipod instead...

Pam: This was tough. I suggested we flip a coin. But Angela said she doesn't like to gamble. Of course by saying that she was gambling that I wouldn't smack her.

Michael: Toby is in HR which technically means he works for Corporate. So he's really not a part of our family. Also he's divorced so he's really not a part of his family.

Michael: I am ridiculously anti-drug. So anti-drug that I am above suspicion in any way that involves suspicion, or testing of any kind.

And of course Ryan's tramatized TH after witnessing the cookie conversation.

Oh, I love that.

My favorite Ryan TH is:
"I don't know, I can't explain it."

My favorite Kelly TH is:
"I never really thought about death until Princess Diana died. That was the saddest funeral ever. That an my sisters."

This one's not my all-time favorite, but for some reason, lately everytime I've seen it I've been unable to stop laughing.

Dwight from Branch Closing: "...right now the title of Michael's book is...Something Weird is Going On...colon..What Did Jan Say?...The Michael Scott Story...By Michael Scott...With Dwight Schrute."

I think it's the way he says it and that he keeps adding on to it, but I think it's hilarious.

I love the one where Creed says "honestly, I just love stealing things" and he says he "just stopped caring" or something like that. I can't believe that I cannot remember at the moment which episode that is from Is it Casino Night?
