The rules of table tennis

[edit]

For some reason, people keep trying to add a Note mentioning that returning the ball before it strikes their side of the table (formally known as obstruction) is not permitted (Rule 2.10.1.5). Each time it's added, somebody else deletes it as pointless trivia. (A decision with which I agree.) For the record, many rules of table tennis are violated in this episode. Nobody serves the ball legally (rules 2.6.1 through 2.6.3), "volleying for serve" violates rule 2.13.1, and a score of "19 serving 4" is not possible (rule 2.11.1). The characters are obviously playing "house rules" rather than the official rules. This is not noteworthy. -- Raymondc0 (talk) 14:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quick bit of information for someone to add.

[edit]

I'm not quite sure how to cite a video, so if someone else can, that'd be great. Anyway, in the [Comic-Con panel that NBC.com has put up], someone mentions (at around 17 minutes left in the video) that Michael pushing Toby's meal off the table was an unscripted moment that Paul Lieberstein came up with. Thanks. -- Viewdrix (talk) 01:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll find a time to put it in. Mastrchf (t/c) 02:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should be Season 4 Episode 8

[edit]

According to IMDB (and Netflix) Did I Stutter is Episode 12; https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031451/

The Deposition should be season 4, episode 8. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031476 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mt1955 (talkcontribs) 00:54, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Season 4 Episode 12 is correct – see "The Deposition" in List of The Office (U.S. TV series) episodes. The episode numbers used here are the original broadcaster's (NBC's) episode numbers, not the Netflix or IMDB episode numbers. NBC counted hour-long episodes as two because The Office is a half-hour show. —Bruce1eetalk 08:00, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 October 2021

[edit]

Episode no is wrong it is episode 8 112.196.188.101 (talk) 11:03, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Wikipedia uses the original broadcaster's (NBC's) episode numbers. So episode number 12 is correct. See List of The Office (American TV series) episodes.
