firthgalHoozah! It has been too long, Andy my love, too long. Let us count the ways in which I am way too much like Andy that it scares me. Well, only one scene is me to a T. The rest are just Andy being his adorably obnoxious self. These are all season 4 deleted scenes, so if you don't want to be spoiled, don't click. But I don't blame you if you can't resist, because these are the creaming it up of the croppage.
First off, the scene that should have never ever been deleted. Especially since The Deposition contained ZERO Andy footage. This has grunting, suggestive manlove, and Andy doing some sexy stretching that has me thinking dirty, dirty thoughts.
Now, the ping pong bit. That is me. That is so very me when I get competitive. Why? Because I suck at EVERYTHING but act like I'm actually really good at it and it's everything else's fault, then I resort to accusing my opponent of cheating, then I lose some more, then I throw something (be it the playing cards that I'm holding, the game controller, the pool stick, the ping pong paddle...) and I yell. A lot. Stuff like, "OH, COME ON! WHAT IS THIS?" But the part that really kills me? The bit where Andy says that he could kill Jim at squash, because I do THE SAME EXACT THING! Take the Wii, for example. My sis-in-law will be kicking my ass at tennis or golf, and she'll be gloating, and I'll be like, "Whatever. I could kick your butt at boxing." And then I lose at boxing. Because I'm even more pathetic than Andy. But I'm pretty certain that Andy would lose at squash too, because it is freakishly amazing how much he is me in that clip. Oh, Andy, I feel your pain. I ambiguously threaten my opponents with bodily harm, too. Except I'm a cream puff, so they know I'll never actually do anything. I'm all talk.
And then we have the scene from Fun Run that had me laughing for five minutes straight.
Ed doesn't even say a word. Everyone always coos over JKras and talks about how "expressive" his face is and omg he's so adorable oh ooo no one does the faces like JKras. BULL CRAP! Ed can reduce me to nonstop giggles with just that one single look. No one does bafflement like he can. NO ONE! But, hey, JKras is okay, a lot of the comedy comes from his reactions, but Ed's faces are the ones that rock my world.
Okay, you guys are going to shun and un-shun me for life, but... this next scene made me full-on slash Kevin/Andy.
They were already BFFs in my head, but after seeing how Andy comforts Kevin, the tenderness in his voice, the way Kevin calls him out on his jackassitutde and Andy listens... Oh dear lord, I want me some Andy/Kevin fic. I've gotta say, I love how this season kind of made them unintentional BFFs. Like, I don't think either one of them even realizes how much they get each other and don't mind hanging around each other. Andy is set on being best friends with Jim and Dwight, neither of whom appreciate him. But Kevin is a follower with a simple mind, and Andy is a leader of followers with simple minds. It all works out.
Speaking of BFFs, at the end of season 3 the Dwight/Andy relationship was blossoming, and by Fun Run they were pretty much best friends/best sales team/meant to be together forever. Despite their past wars, they came to enjoy each other's company (sort of). Dwight tolerated Andy because he allowed Dwight to have all the power in the relationship. Andy was his lacky. And for Andy, Dwight was his in at the office. Being friends with him finally made him feel comfortable at Scranton, and in his own deluded mind he believed that Dwight actually liked him. They made a good team, and he loved having someone he clicked with, and to him being in Dwight's good graces was equal to being in Michael's good graces (and a whole lot easier). It was hard for him to achieve this. Dwight was his fiercest enemy at one point, but he wanted to put all that behind him, start anew. And he did. But then... well, unbeknownst to Andy, he wooed Dwight's girl. And so Dwight starts treating him with much more contempt than usual and he does things to Andy purely for spite, and poor Andy is baffled as to why this man who he thought was his best friend [in the office] would treat him so horribly. It's not easy for Andy to make friends. And he dies a little whenever he finds out that his friends aren't actually his friends. So when he sold his beloved Xterra to Dwight, Dwight very hilariously pressured him into selling it for way below the asking price (pretty much bullied him into it and Andy panicked and just said yes), and then he puts it on ebay and is selling it for a much larger profit. And we get this scene:
Oh man. My heart hurts for him so much there. The way he looks so betrayed, so alone. :'( I just want to hug him and never let go.
And, because it's just not possible to do an Andy spam without a little a cappella:
Hee. Andy Bernard is the epitome of adorableness.
Oh man, that turned into way more meta than I had planned. But I can't help it. When I talk about Andy I have to analyze his every detail. I don't know why. He just elicits that kind of dorkdom from me. Oooooh, I love him! Greatest character in the universe.

Rock it, girlfriend.
Date: 2008-09-08 08:30 am (UTC)Ahem.
Big fat WORD on JKras' expressions being overrated. They're comic, cute and well timed, sure, but I've always thought Ed Helms has the most expressive face on the show. His eyebrows? Wow can they arch. No competition, JKras. NO COMPETITION.
Also, you and I? Exact opposites when it comes to competition. I don't say I'm good. I downplay my abilities. I say I'm just okay so I have an excuse to fall back on if I lose, but when I win? AHAHA, I BASK IN PEOPLE'S INCREDULITY.

SO SO HARD! OMG I LOVE YOU!
And, the competition thing. I don't know where it comes from. I know for a fact that I suck, but I somehow always think that I'll crush whoever I'm playing against, and I never do, and I get all shouty and violent. It's quite sad, really. I'm not quite as extreme as Andy, because I usually stop caring halfway through, but in the beginning I am totally him.

I love JKras but Ed's the one I want to be my boyfriend.

Date: 2008-09-11 07:55 pm (UTC)Yes!!! Oh, how I love him. &hearts
And, well, sorry to have to tell you this, but Ed is actually my future husband. He just doesn't know it yet.
