I’m coming out of the closet as an 8.5 fan of NBC’s “The Office.” This new video (titled ‘The Office’ Obsessed Fan”) is directed toward the creators and actors of “The Office.” It’s rated 5th highest “video of the day” on YouTube and the second most discussed. So hopefully the staff finds it. (Click “more” to see transcript of this video, done by the wonderful Jan L.).
I have a parasocial relationship with you, and can’t wait to meet you at The Office Convention on October 27 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. My wife (wifeofnalts) was born and raised near Scranton, and I plan on stalking the cast for a collaboration video. If you readers and viewers would like to join me, please do. But don’t stalk me, because I’ll be busy stalking the cast.

“This video is directed at everyone involved with the
creation of The Office; television show on NBC.
Ahh quick introduction, I’m Nalts. I’ve made some 500
videos on Youtube; kind of a big deal there.
Ahh, but I’ve never been so nervous as this one; I
mean just addressing you guys is….
Alright, three ground rules. For anybody else that is
watching this not involved with the office.
First of all, there will be no calling me obsessed.
Okay? Cause you all got your own obsessions.
Some view high school musicals [unintelligible]
Second of all, there will be no comparisons of the
British version and the U.S. version, they are both
fantastic; in their own rights.
And third of all if anybody dares to make a negative
comment about The Office I’m gonna remove it, and I
don’t usually bikini wax my comments, but I will.
Okay, back to the staff and this is directed at
everyone from Steve Carell to the person who does Ed
Helm’s makeup (lay off the pancake sweetie it’s a
little much).
Three things. First of all I’m a level 8.5 fan, which
means I represent no imminent danger, but I’m obsessed
with you, okay?
Ahhh, I don’t, ya know, have a blog about The Office.
I don’t run a chapter of the fan club, ya know I don’t
bid on Janet Fisher’s stuff on ebay and I’m not gonna
dress up like Dwight on Halloween, but I’m committed
to the show.
Second of all I can not wait to meet you guys on
October 27th in Scranton at Office convention I just
bought my two tickets for 50 bucks a pop.
[Kay, realize I ‘m coming across as a crazy 9 level
fan]
Ah, but I want to make a collab video, ahh with any of
you that ah that are there. Collab video is what we
call, eh, when we collaborate with et uh… Nevermind!
I’m just gonna, I’m gonna be your ticket onto on line
video.
Um, so I know you are big in the main stream, but if
you’re in a video with me that’s your ticket, okay?
That’s your ticket.
And thirdly! What was thirdly? See I’m so nervous
See it’s not just caffeine. Okay I’m just gonna take a
deep breath I’ll be right back.
Oh! I remember my third point. I got a bunch of links
to other videos and what I would I would like to pitch
to you guys is that you do video about online video
where someone [unintelligible] watching online video
and you play one of these videos, I mean that would be
a dream come true!
Calm blue ocean
Calm blue ocean
Calm blue ocean
But let me start with Steve Corell ah with whom I have
so much in common. I mean we got um a list we share
we’re both Catholic, I got one shoulder lower than the
other so do you, you were educated in Massachusetts
and Ohio, me too! Ah, I’ve got two kids roughly your
age and sometime we have play dates together. Ah. it’s
not real play dates, it’s kind of ah thing that goes
on in my mind, it’s part of Para Social Relationship
with you and the other people in the Office. Sometimes
we just hang out; ya know like you me and Stewart and
Colbert um we just head out, hang out and have drinks.
But ya all, all of this in my mind
Do you think anyone has a Para Social Relationship
with me like I have with the people in the Office?
It’s much more comfortable being on the other side of
the Para Social Relationship.
Angela I am so sorry about your cat dying.
Dwight sure who is only second only to Christopher
Walken is one of the best staring people on SNL. I
mean it’s looks Shakespearean like acting, beautiful
stuff and not everybody can act as well as you.
Take BJ Novak, the temp, Okay? Sorry BJ, she’s not
that great of an actress either, but she’s got two
other things going for her. But there’s hope for you,
because Janet Fisher did not start out as a really
good actress, but she’s refined over ti…
Jim, every time you look at the camera. I know you’re
looking at me.
And and Jim and Pam you’re so cute I just want to put
you in my pocket. and just take you everywhere
Look at you two!
To say all I can say is that my marriage is at rocks
when you two aren’t in sync and now, okay someone else
is pulling up, this is creepy.
Let me say something about Kevin Malone. Okay, you
guys need to give him more lines, that stuff is
hysterical. Sometime when the other members of the
office where refer to him; his name on the show is
Kevin, I pretend that they’re talking to me.
Ed Helms besides the pancake batter face, when you
fell over in that sumo costume and landed in the
water, I had to rewind that like 50 times. I can’t
even watch The Office in less than two hours, because
I have to keep replaying and replaying.
Let me say something also to this writer of the resent
the resent Entertainment Weekly. How dare you! How
dare you begrudge The Office for not being let in on
future plots. I don’t want to know what’s gonna happen
of the future episodes of The Office. I had to turn
off closed captioning last night because it was
feeding me your lines before you deliver um folks.
Ahhhhh Dwight!
Would like to see more of Roy and Daryl. Get um
upstairs, bring um back.
Okay, I gotta get to work, gotta get to work! And if
my office is not nearly as interesting as yours, but
do me a favor let’s do a cal lab video, stick some of
my videos in the show; would make me so happy, so
happy.
I’ll just end with, keep it up. Keep doing what you’re
doing. This show will Never jump the shark. Never!
It’s gonna be like M.A.S.H..
It’s gonna be like a final episode where they all go
different ways and I’m gonna cry. And I’ve only cried
two times watching TV shows. Once, when Jim and Pam
were fighting, and then the other time was with
Charlotte’s Web. Ya know, when Charlotte
left…Wilbur….and the little eggs flew off…
“Good bye… goodbye…”
“Oh don’t go you all can’t go!”
“We’re going out in the world to make webs for
ourselves.”
“Wait a minute, you can’t all go!””

First comment. Hey- if anyone is bored at work and feels like transcribing this video, please send to kevinnalty@gmail.com and I’ll post it (to increase search engine optimization).
nalts: you can delete this after you read it… but it’s Life in the Office (LITO), not Live in the Office
great video today!
“8.5 fan”
Kevin can you make a list and/or a video of the top 10 with definitions?
I’ll transcribe if it’s not done by the end of the day. If someone else does it or planes on doing it before hand please post, “I did it” here. Thanks
I really hope something happens with you and The Office. That would be hilarious. I’m right up there with you, maybe even higher. I have every single link you posted already in my bookmarks and they are checked on a daily basis. Check out the myspace page of “Fleece It Out” on your top friends list. That’s just partly how bad my addiction is. I also ordered the “Support The Rabid” bracelet from the season premier. Only bad thing is they aren’t sending them out till the middle of the month.
I can go on forever about how much I love the show and all the great things about it but I’m not sure everyone would want to read about that lol.
Yey- Maxed is as obsessed (or more) than me!
I actually picked my classes for my last 2 years of college so that I would be home Thursday nights before 8pm. Had a 6 hour break between classes on Thursday’s for 2 years in which I sat around and did nothing. To be honest, it was totally worth it.
That’s right, nalts, keep telling yourself you’re an 8.5.

OMG OMG- JAN did the trasnscript! Click “more” on above post to see it. Thanks!!
you’re most welcomed, but I missed some stuff. If anyone wants to set the stage, fill in all the props and expressions feel free. Of course, to do all that you’d have to be a level 10 Nalts fan, control freak or a very super detailed person, perhaps a little OCD
I think that the comment after high school musicals was “Go Zach Efron!”. Haha! I’m not OCD (at least I hope not) but that was a hilarious quip!
Being completely honest with myself, I have to say that I think I’m probably a 9. Or a 9.5. Or a 9.7.
Upon even further consideration, I have literally chased Kate Flannery down the street while she was in a moving vehicle. That might just tip the scale at a 10. (But she was very nice about it!)
