mitchco a go go!

When people ask me what my favorite TV shows are, I often joke that they’re whatever NBC puts on Hulu. 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Rec– this honestly isn’t that far from the truth.

I was catching up on episodes of The Office this weekend and discovered a little three episode arc about Kelly and Erin’s “girl group” and their quest to make a music video. They’re definitely worth watching, if you’re a fan:

There’s so much to love here: we’re finally getting a glimpse into Erin’s personality, which appears to be minimal in a hilarious way, rather than a “Tara-from-Buffy” way. I love the way that she just mirrors what Kelly says and does. If I could sum up their effort, I would say it lies somewhere between impressively shitty and shittily impressive. This includes their shoot costumes.

Oh my god, could Andy be more of a weirdo? I have such a love/hate relationship with his character. His “audition pieces” will be forever burned into my brain.

Yes!! Finally! Paydirt! I love how Erin sings the second verse. Did Andy custom tailor his suit with a pair of scissors?! And Ryan– his performance isn’t surprising, but my god do I love that wink. My biggest regret is that I didn’t see this until Halloween day, because how good would getting a group of four to go as this video be? Mindy Kaling, you are a genius of untold and under-appreciated proportions.
