Clickable Advent Calendar, 13: “The Office” & Unicorn Princess
December 13, 2008 at 8:00 am by Curt Holman in A&EIf I were on top of my game, I’d have an entry about the holiday-themed series finale of Ricky Gervais’ “Extras,” which airs on HBO on Tuesday night. But apparently I’m not, because I don’t. What to do? Wait, I know: Gervais, who co-created “Extras,” also co-created an even more acclaimed sitcom, “The Office.” And the Dec. 11 episode of the U.S. “Office,” titled “Moroccan Christmas,” has a holiday theme. Not too tenuous? Anyway, here’s the episode in its entirety:
The episode’s a little dark, but includes a great prank in the teaser. In a hilarious subplot, Dwight Schrute reveals that this year’s hot holiday toy is the Unicorn Princess doll — basically a Barbie knock-off with a long, sharp horn protuding from its forehead. Those net-savvy kids at NBC have created a Unicorn Princess website, which I include just to make the Clickable Advent Calendar extra clicky.
Incidentally, “The Office” has launched another batch of webisodes, collectively titled “The Outburst” and focusing on Oscar.

Dwight is the man. I just ordered a sweet Dwight Schrute for President shirt from http://www.PantherTees.com. They have tons of stuff from The Office. They said not to tell anyone, but here is a 10% discount code, pts10 (it is case sensitive, so copy and paste it). Enjoy!

When I ran in the Peachtree Road Race, I saw a guy in a shirt that read, “Michael Scott’s Dunder-Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For The Cure.”
