Lots of toy story references. A Woody doll was actually part of the plot. Michael Scott threw Holly’s Woody in the trash out of jealousy of her new boyfriend, then it became this whole thing where they try to figure how who threw it away, which lead to a funny moment where Kevin puts out the theory that Woody was alive and got in by himself. Did I mention it also got covered in sandwich scraps? Holly also said her kids, (sorry if I’m off here, my memory is fuzzy on the details) never seen any of them so they watched all 3 in one night. Michael also said the best character was Andy’s mom, because without her these movies wouldn’t have happened.
Ehh, you have to see it to fully understand, I don’t exactly have the episode in front of me. The point is the office has given Pixar shutouts before, but never to this extent I don’t think. it was pretty amusing.
Oh and for anyone wondering, the Woody was not a TSC one. kinda wish it was, but maybe not if it was going to get covered in tomatoes blue cheeze and whatnot. haha
Edit: oh, and there was something about Randy Newman too, but I can’t remember what was said.
Oh god that episode was so classic cringe-worth on so many levels, particularly the psychotic kamikaze war monger Dwight. And I loved the Toy Story references on the show too.
I have a feeling that they specifically chose the older Disney Store Exclusive version because they needed a Woody that looked somewhat ugly. Having a TSC version would be way too realistic and probably extremely unsettling for some viewers, particularly myself.
EDIT: Had to replace the link because it didn’t gave me the wrong one, so it just directed to a “Video not availiable” page. Let me know if it doesn’t work.
It’s the first full episode i’ve ever watched, and I really enjoyed it too. I’ve heard a lot about the show, and i’ve been wanting to watch, but I’ve never had the chance.
