“The Office” episode “Test the Store” (“The Office” S08E17 “Test the Store”) weaves together transgenderism and pyramid symbolism—for whatever reason.
In short, Andy “got beat up by a fifth grade girl” but is embarrassed to admit it. Within the context of self-defense, Toby states, “Okay, look, in a real crisis situation, you’re not gonna have time to think, okay? So just remember, I-A-A-T-G: It’s All About The Groin.”
Andy asks, “What if you’re being attacked by a Smallish man who happens to not have a groin?…What if you’re being attacked by a 4’11” man – who’s penisless?” and Oscar asks him, “Why are you fixated on this hypothetical transgendered attacker?”
Also mentioned is the “latest Chad Flenderman novel” which is “Based from the point of view of his nemesis, Dr. Lucifer Wu.”
Erin states, “I’m camped out in front of the Sabre store so I can be first in line for the new pyramid” as Pyramid is the name of the new Saber/Dunder Mifflin smart device.
Someone tells Todd Packer that the character he will play within the sales pitch presentation, “be the sexual predator who has come to prey on the trendy teenage girls who are obsessed with the pyramid.”
As Jim prepares for the sales pitch presentation he is asked, “Did you find the eyeliner?” he states, “I’m not wearing eyeliner” and is told, “You are wearing eyeliner, Jim”—in other words, a man wearing makeup.
During a key portion of the presentation, Jim states:
Time. Space. Gender.
There are no rules anymore.
All boundaries are breaking down in the wake of the infinite future.
The only thing that—the only thing that remain—the only thing that remains are the things that have stood the test of time—love, values, and of course, the pyramids—the strongest shape ever constructed, a shape that fits all other shapes inside of it.
He softly denies this, “No, that…” insinuating that he does not think it makes sense but from offstage Dwight states, “It’s true.”
Jim continues:
This is the future, because this is the past. I’ve been through a lot of issues in my life. I’ve seen drug addiction, unemployment. I’ve been in a relationship that tore my heart apart without ever being able to accept that love drove the pain.
When I was ten years old, my parents took me to Disney World. I cried the whole time. I was not able to comprehend the beauty that was before me. I just wanted to go home.
This is what the pyramid will do for you.
It is the bridge to the world. It has a USB port. Wireless Will be available in 2013. You can play anything from Chuck to Cars 2.With the pyramid, you have the connection to everything, in time and space.
