Ben Franklin (#3.14)

Warning: Spoilers
It is Phyllis's bachelorette party at work and Ben Franklin comes over.

Jim inviting Ben Franklin impersonator instead of a stripper was wonderful. Michael introducing him as sexy and Karen with Pam going on asking him sexy questions was the highlight of the episode. Roy telling us how sexy Pam's art is was also really funny.

My second favorite episode

Warning: Spoilers
This is my second favorite episode from the office

I really love the cold open the cold open has Dwight filming Michael Scott and Michael Scott is saying to the camera this is a message to his future son

I loved the part when Michael shows him how to take off a woman's bra Michael wants to show his son how to take off a woman's bra he wants to demonstrate in Pam but she says no so Dwight puts a bra on so Michael takes off a bra on Dwight

Another part I liked was when Ben Franklin came on the elevator it has one of my favorite Michael Scott lines he says are you wearing a thong?

Another part I liked was when Elizabeth came on very funny.

The Guys Don't Like Strippers

Warning: Spoilers
Michael reminds them it is 6 days till Phyllis's wedding and says prima nocte. Jim tells us prima nocte is a term that came from the movie Braveheart and it means how the king was able to deflower all the new wedded brides on their wedding night.

Michael gets jealous when Angela reminds him it is girls only for the bridal shower. Michael says there is also a guys' afternoon out - GAI - pronouncing it as "gay" making Karen snort. Michael realizes this and tries to explain but ends off with that it is like guys' showering together for one hour.

One of Michael's higher-up work buddies come in and Michael tells him to come to the bachelor party - get rid of the work he has to do that time. The guy asks if they are hiring a stripper and asks Michael if he has ever been to a bachelor party. Michael says not personally no. The guy says strippers are bachelor party 101 and it will be lame if there isn't one.

Michael announces there will be co-ed strippers in the office. Michael whispers asking Jim to hire them but he refuses and Dwight speaks up to take the job. Dwight calls and has specific preferences - ruddy cheeks, no tats, etc. It is implied the person he spoke to misunderstood asking no breasts (because no tats). Dwight says yes of course he wants those. Dwight asks Jim for input on what to choose and Jim says blonde. Pam and Karen just watch uncomfortably in silence.

Benjamin Franklin was called in for the girls (Jim did so intentionally). Karen asks him if he has a gf and then Pam asks him about all the women in Paris he was with. Benjamin Franklin ties a cherry stem in his mouth and Karen hilariously cries out Benjamin Franklin just tied a cherry stem in this mouth! Pam asks what type of underwear does he wear - boxers, briefs or pantaloons making Karen smile.

Jim and Dwight are in the parking lot waiting for their stripper and Jim asks if Dwight has ever even seen a stripper. Dwight references an actress. Jim says yeah he neither. The blonde stripper comes in and Dwight labels her as sort of hot.

Michael introduces the stripper and all the guys just watch in silence. There is this feeling of uncomfortableness and vibes that no one wants to be that guy. Pam's ex says he doesn't like strippers. The groom says it's all you and sits back. Michael offers to take the lap dance and the stripper pops off her top and dances.

Michael senses the uncomfortableness - you can see on all the men's faces - Ryan's, Jim's, Stanley's...it seems like the men actually don't like strippers? The atmosphere and vibes surprised me, it felt like they felt they did not support the industry. Michael asks for music to stop and storms up the steps saying she should be ashamed and he has a gf.

Dwight makes the stripper take phone calls because they hired her for three hours and they plan to make her work for the hours.

Jim, Pam, Ryan and the indian girl are in one shot together. She asks Ryan if he thought the stripper was hot because she didn't really think so and Ryan tells her she knows what she is doing.

Benjamin Franklin tells Pam he senses electricity between them and basically hits on her.

Pam asks Ryan to get her connected with one of his business school friends for a date.
