From MathIsHard: This is such a huge honor, especially to be a finalist in the company of such amazingly talented people. I’ve loved The Office for years and the chance to write a musical toast for Jim and Pam was something that I couldn’t pass up. The video went through three different drafts – one in my pajamas, one with me in the suit playing the guitar and the final one that got submitted. Also, I really just enjoyed the challenge of getting “Flonkerton” to rhyme in a couplet. Congrats to everyone, every single video was so amazing!
Lyrics:
He saw you sitting at reception typing 90 WPM
You captured his heart when you invented flonkerton
He loved you during every sales call
But he loved you from afar
She laughed at your pranks and she played along
When you both started swaying to that iPod song
She loved you during every phone call
But she loved you from afar
But now you’re together
Yes now you’re engaged
And you’ll be together the rest of your days
You’ve got the kind of love everyone understands
Congratulations Jim and Pam
At your reception you’ll be dancing like it was Cafe Disco
And when you met for lunch that day how could she know
He would get down on one knee
And ask for her hand
He knows you love Mixed Berry you know he loves pranks
And now that you’re together we’ll all be giving thanks
That she walked through the fire to tell you how she felt
But now it’s your wedding
And no one misspoke
And nobody’s upset that the copier broke
You’ll be the happiest couple in all of the land
Congratulations because
You’re getting married
And you’ll be around
You’ll live in the house with that picture of a clown
Let’s all raise a glass while Michael thinks he’s best man
Congratulations Jim and Pam

I really liked all of them, but I voted for Bill Buttlicker cause he thought of those original talking heads that were actually pretty funny and seemed like things the characters would say.
“I have 20 kids, I name them all Michael, but I give them code names. Like, Michael….. and Mike….. and 18 others”
Those were great but 3 definitely stuck out. Can “Ampay” get some sort of honorable mention gift. That was awesome. It would have been in my top 3 for sure.
Wow! What awesome videos! I wish I would have done one, but I don’t think I could have come up with anything nearly as wonderful as my favorites from Bill Buttlicker, Colleen, Delegate from Iceland and lastly the one my vote goes to, JMJ! She was super great, really made me laugh.
What a tough decision!! I really wish we could vote for more than one. I absolutely love the abundance of musical tributes – 2 hot guys writing and singing songs about Jim and Pam? Yes please!!
Remember guys, the poll allows you to choose THREE entries! Not just one!
Andrea, Bill Buttlicker, JMJ! Way to go everybody. So much creativity–these were funny & enjoyable to see. Hope the cast gets a big kick out of them. Tanster, I’m also campaigning for some kinda somethin’ for Ampay, she was HI-LARIOUS and would’ve had one of my votes for sure. :)
Good job, everyone! I really loved the musical tributes and the many references to specific events and episodes from most of the entries. I went with Andrea (adorable kids, nice costumes and good references) and the great in-character offerings from Bill Buttlicker and Colleen. Good luck to the contestants, and I hope everyone enjoys the show on Thursday night!
Wow! These are awesome! Good luck to all!
Wow! A lot of heart and soul was put into those! It was tough to decide.
When’s the deadline tanster?
Good Luck all!
These were all wonderful and so much fun to watch! I really admire everyone’s creativity (and wish I had some)! Special shout out to Ampay—that was hilarious!
Great job, guys! These were all wonderful but I especially enjoyed Junior and Delegate from Iceland. Congrats to you all!
Way to go, guys! I enjoyed them all – I don’t think I can pick a favorite! Excellent work.
Mindy’s made me want to cry, and Andrea’s was hilarious– when the little boy raises up his hands to match the high notes– haha! ALL of you guys did such a good job! Thanks for representing us Tallyheads so beautifully!
[from tanster: nicely said, brigette! i completely agree.]
Bill Buttlicker was fabulous! I am proud and I don’t even know that kid!
“Some things were meant to be, they’re special like a ham!”????!!!??!? I am still laughing! Was that a line from an episode that I just somehow don’t remember or is that kid just a genius? And Andrea – your kids, and your singing computer – AMAZING! and the character impersonations….all done by the same butt-licker…..wow. I …wow. There are no words.
THANKS for this, Tanster! I can’t wait for Thursday!
[from tanster: yes, “special like a ham” refers to a line from the show! tallyheads, which episode is it from and in what context? :) ]
JMJ…haha, awesome. Heeeeeyooo!
I think it was Valentine’s Day…Dwight asking Pam about what he should get his girlfriend for V-day!
She says it should be something special to let her know you care…
So Dwight asks, “Like a ham?”
And Pam responds, “No…not like a ham…”
[from tanster: that’s it! :) i don’t know, if someone gave me a ham, i’d feel pretty special.]
Definitely Delegate from Iceland. And I have no idea what Andrea’s kids are saying but they are pretty cute. Delegate from Iceland is the clear front runner for me- very funny and creative.
Andrea’s was the best, hands down. Those kids are so cute! “Now you are arried-may, and it is awesome day!”
Please don’t judge me when I now admit here that MathIsHard’s video made me well up a bit. I also got chills. That was fabulous!
Go MathIsHard!
Ampay for the win!
Wow, I’m super excited to be a finalist but it’s a little scary to now have it so people are actually going to see my video. Congrats to all the other finalists. They are all really good.
Delegate from Iceland, Andrea, and Mathishard! Ampay, you’re a winner, too!
All were great, hard to pick just 3.
Mathishard, Colleen, and Bill Buttlicker get my vote.
Bill Buttlicker, JMJ, and Andrea
Although Delegate from Iceland, you did come close, simply for that line “Some things are meant to be, they’re special like a ham, congratulations Jim and Pam” :)
Bill Buttlicker- wow, you are a great actor..
I’ll marry you Bill Buttlicker!
ANDREA FTW!
So. Freaking. Funny.
All fun to watch! Good job, everyone. My votes will go to Andrea, JMJ, and Mathishard.
JMJ was hilarious. She should be in next week’s episode!
special like a ham” is that in s2 Valentine’s day episode where Pam is trying to give advise to Dwight about what to give Angela????
I know I don’t have a chance against all the awesomely creative videos. I was seriously so excited to be a top 12 finalist (that’s prize enough for me, haha) Congrats all!
BTW, the vids are awesome!!!!! =) so proud to be a part of Office fans!
Oh, sad, I thought Ampay’s was great
Holy cow, these are fantastic! So hard…so hard. (TW…oh, you know the rest.)
ANDREA FTW!
Seriously, I had tears on my eyes!
Andrew, FTW! JMJ and Delegate from Iceland were also fab!
Andrea, not Andrew. Sorry. I was still laughing!
Great work to all entrants! Hilarious, heartfelt, and very clever videos. :) Congrats on the final product (obvious that lots of work went into them). I have to say that using children as characters from the show is hard to beat. Good luck to you all!
Great job everyone! They were all so good!
Matt Jenkins for the win!!
to Jam! Great job everyone! I really loved Andrea’s though, those little tunas were too cute!
These were awesome guys! Bravo I picked Andrea, Junior, and Bill Butlicker those were the best!
Good work, everyone!
My votes are for
Delegate from Iceland
Colleen
Bill Butlicker
Who won?
Tanster this is killing me…. When are you going to post the results?
Congrats Winners! Colleen, I really liked yours too!
Congrats! The three winners are the three that I voted for – Man, I’m good. MathIsHard – I am so impressed by everything about your song. The lyrics are wonderful, it’s a really good melody and you have a great voice. Awesome! My family thinks I’m a little nuts because I’m so obsessed with everything related to The Office, then I come on here, and I am home. :D
[from tanster: awwwwww!]
Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who made one of these videos. What a great idea for a contest. These were so awesome that I watched them all twice. I love the lyrics, MathIsHard!
Congrats guys! @mathishard, enjoy that mug…Cherish it forever! haha
Oh my gosh these are so good! Congratulations everyone! I really love the song by MathIsHard — so great — a well deserved win!
