Jim Halpert as Popeye
Popeye (from Season 7’s Costume Contest): light button-down shirt tucked into dark pants, dark tie, corn cob pipe.
Jim: I am Popeye. Just after he retired from the Navy and took a desk job in corporate America. (From this promo.)
Later in the episode, Jim goes all out and wears an actual costume!
Jim: Spinach in a can. Powerful spinach. Ah-gah-gah-gah-gah.
Pam: Oh my hero!
I’m going to be all of those combined but I wish I knew what he’ll do this season so I can plan ahead.
Ah 3 Hole Punch Jim, i will always love you most of all.
i really don’t think “book” would (or should) be written in marker. eyeliner will do the trick.
Those are what myself, son and wife (respectively) went as last year.
[from tanster: awwwww, how cute! got pics?]
You see, when I first saw “Koi Pond” I thought Jim was “nose in a book”. Doesn’t make that much sense now that I think about it, haha!
I love three hole punch Jim.
Callan,
That was totally my first idea too! I didn’t really catch it until after the episode…
“Bookface + social networking site =….Facebook! Oh I get it!”
The repetitive description of light shirt, dark pants, etc. had me rolling. Well done.
[from tanster: thoroughly repetitive. that’s how i roll. :) ]
Callan – I had the same idea. I thought he had his nose in a book!
I did “Three Hole Punch Anthony” two years ago. People seemed more confused by the fact that I was wearing a dress shirt than the three random black circles, haha.
Bookface only reminds me of how much I hate the unnecessary edit on the S6 DVD. I really miss that scene.
Oh three hole punch Jim, how I love thee!
So this season’s Jim is “Popeye”, with just a pipe because he “retired from the Navy, got a desk job… and a cool new haircut”. Haha I never thought his “costumes” can get any lazier.
Whoa! I didn’t notice that scene was missing till I saw this! What’s the deal? Does anyone know why it was edited out?
I went as three hole punch Jim two years ago, Chuck Bartowski last year and will go as Don Draper this year. I’m sensing a pattern here…..:)
13:
They took it out because people complained about Michael pretending to hang himself at the halloween party, completely ignoring the fact that the joke was that Michael was (yet again) being inappropriate.
I agree, Jimmy. Plus, he said “Suicide is no joke”… haha but when Michael pretends to… maybe. I mean, he was dressed as D*ck in a Box! How could you take him seriously?
I love all of Jim’s costumes. I thought I read a comment somewhere that called it “a new level of uncaring” or something like that. I also love how much thought he apparently puts into looking like he puts no thought into his costume. Can ‘t wait how Thursday!!
Love Jim’s “awesome” costume. A classic… right? :)
I love Jim’s popeye costume, first time in history.
Went as three hole punch Jim last year for halloween. Went to a large party and everyone came up to me and told me how much they loved my costume. Of course by the end of the night people were referring to me as three hole punch Justin. But BookFace will definitely be a great costume this coming year!
Does the author of this article know that he was supposed to be “Facebook”?
Already Did The “Hello My Name Is Dave” Thing And It Was Great.
I’m definitely going to go as Dave this year but i can’t seem to find Hello my name is stickers… :(
Check it out for your costume party.
I actually did this in school, and so far no one has asked me what I am
He’s a good book because he has his nose in the book
dave is so dank
I really wish they would have left that scene in the show cuz if you don’t do a deep dive you don’t understand it
