No. 5: "Moroccan Christmas" (Season 5)

Phyllis is head of the Party Planning Committee for the first time, and so she decides to throw a themed party, "A Night in Morocco." It's rather amusing to see the usual authoritative, stern Angela crumble under Phyllis, and it's all because she learned that Angela is cheating on Andy with Dwight. Blackmail at its finest.

Like any party at Dunder Mifflin, things take a turn for the worse. A drunk Meredith manages to set her hair on fire, resulting in an impromptu intervention, while Phyllis shares with everyone about Dwight and Angela's affair, only to have Andy come in playing "Deck the Halls" on his sitar, none the wiser. (This is the one time I truly feel for the guy.)

However, I think we can agree that the highlight is Dwight buying all of the "Princess Unicorn" dolls in town and upping the price for desperate parents.

Moments of Note:

  • Did it really only take Jim five minutes to wrap Dwight's "desk" in gift wrapping paper? 'Cause that's a lot of boxes. Also, where did he put Dwight's real desk?

  • It's no surprise that Michael not only knows but sings the "Princess Unicorn" catchphrase.
  • Scotch, absinthe, rum, gin, vermouth, triple sec, and two packs of Splenda make up Michael's "one of everything" concoction. No wonder Meredith gets hammered and sets herself on fire. Hey, Michael, don't quit your day job.
