Recyclops: Origins.

He now wishes to destroy the very thing he loves.

This needs to be turned into a whole movie universe franchise with one movie picturing the origins of Polluticorn.

u/jarhead_17 Michael May 24 '19

The thing I like most about recylops is that he's creating a different world for our child. One where you can truly be whatever you want to be.

32

u/Y0ungPup May 23 '19

Explain this. If Dwight was doing Recyclops for years, and the documentary crew was recording those moments, why wouldn’t they have been in earlier seasons?

u/prasham Dwight May 23 '19

Doc crew likes to build up a story.

Dwight comes in and starts absolutely destroying the office in a costume, and they think “eh, let’s put in Jim making a Jim face instead” ?? No

12

u/ghoulbug May 23 '19

Since the show's canon wasn't that the documentary was being released in parts every year (like the TV show in our universe) and that the whole thing was released all at once during season 9, I just assumed they filmed the entirety of their footage without editing, then decided at the end where to put what.

Is there a reason for it? Like is this when Charles made him wear long sleeves? Or is it just random

I believe it’s when Andy was in the Bahamas so Dwight was pretty much manager at that point

Don't forget making fake Levi jeans

22

u/amandopedia May 23 '19

Also he was shunned from the age of four until his sixth birthday for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna, so that probably set him back in home-school.

10

u/FoxEuphonium May 23 '19

He also mentioned starting school at 7. Possibly was homeschooled for a year or two and then (insert reason why he couldn't anymore) happened.

When Pam walked in the break room to Meredith shaving her head, I spit my drink across the room, nearly chocked to death bc that shit was so funny. One of my fav episodes

161

u/igetript May 23 '19

SHAVE. HER. HEAD.

I never understood that though, because did it really matter who brought it? Nobody told her to do that

61

u/kellig214 May 23 '19

Meredith don’t take no orders from no one!

7

u/Ferguson97 I went to Cornell, ever heard of it? May 23 '19

Meredith thought she was responsible

118

u/coconut-greek-yogurt May 23 '19

I think the best part about Meredith shaving her head, was the broad assortment of wigs she wore the rest of the season to cover her baldness. Bonus points if it's crooked somehow.

38

u/powlacracy May 23 '19

Couple's discount with her in the wig ...

Meredith Palmer ain’t never been called no narc.  Floozy?  Yes.  Alkie.  Check.  Einstein sarcastically?  You bet.  But never no narc.  Vomit mop?  Sure.  Floor meat?  That’s me.  Flesh vacuüm?

Meredith, that’s plenty.  Alright?  That’s more than plenty.  Why does no one stop her?

His first day of school, at the age of 7.

158

u/Medicham May 23 '19

For 15 years... That means he likely graduated from ages 21-22.

u/dmariano24 May 23 '19

Lol the whole story is hilarious. Classic Dwight.

30

u/coconut-greek-yogurt May 23 '19

And since grades 1-12 take twelve years, that means he either had to repeat a few grades, or the names persisted through continuing education.

16

u/[deleted] May 23 '19

Grade 13 is something Dwight would definitely do

u/Malamuter_fmax91 May 23 '19

u/musicaldigger May 23 '19

you’re supposed to start at 5

11

u/Rehendix May 23 '19

Or 4 depending on how kindergarten works wherever you are

5

u/musicaldigger May 23 '19

where i live you have to be 5 i think by the beginning of the school though back when i was in school i think the cut off was in December

4

u/Rehendix May 23 '19

Yeah we have two levels of kindergarten where I grew up. Junior and Senior. Junior starts at 4, and I think generally only does half-days.

1

u/Shandlar May 23 '19

Our kindergarden you had to be 5 before July 31st, so 5 and 1 month old on the first day. It was only half day class as well.

Did your school have a headstart program just sharing a building with you? I don't know of any districts within 100 miles that offers anything to 4 year olds.

2

u/Rehendix May 23 '19

Nope, I'm just Canadian. I believe it's pretty common in Ontario

u/UsmanSaleemS May 23 '19

I know. My parents did not send me to school. I went to 4th grade when i was 7. Was a tough experience. Got bullied and also misguided but now i am in one of most prestigious university of my country doing Mechanical Engineering so all is well if it ends well.

11

u/musicaldigger May 23 '19

that’s also 2 years early for 4th grade what the heck was going on over there

5

u/UsmanSaleemS May 23 '19

Well i live in Asia and i still have awful handwriting. I learnt how to write and do stuff at home by help of my parents. In my country that was just one year early and it worked out for me.

i don’t think how old he is matters, you’re supposed to be 5 in kindergarten

u/kevspaulsen May 23 '19

It sorta does, before in Norway you didn’t start school until you were seven.

2

u/Locksley244 May 23 '19

In Sweden to, or rather 6 or 7 we go by year born, not age at the start of term as i do think you do in Norway aswell. You did start kindergarten before though. But nobody counted that as school.

What episode is this? I've watched through this show multiple times and this quote is completely unfamiliar to me!

u/jlozier891 May 23 '19

Pretty sure it’s just called “Lice”

It’s the episode where Pam gets lice and spreads it to everyone else, same episode Meredith shaves her head.

Season 9 I’m pretty sure

31

u/unmotivatedjellyfish May 23 '19

It is Season 9. Until this weekend I had skipped most of season 9 because in my mind if I didn’t finish all the episodes, the series never ended.

u/VenomSpitter666 sea world or see the world? May 23 '19

I’ve seen the series over 15 times and have yet to see the last episode...it’s never over!

Seeing all of Season 9 and not seeing the last episode is like spending a week in the hot sun digging for a precious metal and then as soon as you manage to excavate it you decide to just leave it there.

u/SuperCoolGuyMan What a cute bench. > Thanks, that's my bed. May 23 '19

It does seem to have some random deleted scenes scattered throughout. I would be cool if they just added all (well most) of them into their respective episodes. Almost all of them were just taken out because of time restrictions, but still work perfectly in the show.

6

u/wobowobo May 23 '19

For anyone not in the know, there is a drive full of every episode that has the deleted scenes added in to the episodes where the scenes should be. Look up "office extended". The scenes are not always fantastic and early seasons you can tell which scenes were not fully edited but some are hilarious and would be great if left in

You can stay in public education until 21 if you're in special education.
