Clickable Advent Calendar, 13: “The Office” & Unicorn Princess
Saturday, December 13th, 2008If 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.
