I'll buy some only if they still sell the red Swingline staplers.

If sales targets are met, the licensing deal can be extended.

My guess is about 3 years longer than is necessary.

Boom, roasted.

The paper brand will be priced largely above private-label copy paper, the Journal said.

Clever. Figure out who the purchasing geniuses are that would waste money buying t.v.-themed copy paper for their businesses instead of the exact-same generic product at a lower price. There's no telling what a sucker list like that could be sold for.

The funny thing is that there are probably enough fans of the show who actually would make large purchases of this paper for their business that NBC and Staples could make a nice little profit if they priced it to be competitive with other brands. I'm not even a huge fan of the show, but if was was looking to buy 100 boxes of copy paper, and my choice was between Dunder Mifflin and Brand X for the same price, I'd probably go with the Office paper, just for the lulz.

As it is, you'll have fans buy one box as a novelty, and they probably won't even use the paper.

Way to strike while the iron is hot.

I don't think that's ironic, subby.

Primatech paper is great for about a year. After one year the paper starts to crumble and fall apart.

I assume all of the Dunder Mifflin paper used will be recycled, lest one dare anger Recyclops.

I don't think this paper is meant for business. My CFO is a cheap basterd however we do get the good Hammermill paper. It is for the home use crowd. I think some people will pay a buck or two more for the Dunder Mifflin, espicially they only buy a ream or two a year for coupons and maps.

This ironic tag is the best, subby!

it reminds me of that no smoking sign on my cigarette break

They could be out tens of dollars! Good catch, Dwight.

Really.

Nothing like being 5 years too late with product tie-in.

The Office needs to end.

Meh. Call me when I can buy a Bob Vance refrigerator.

Damn, you beat me to it.

Tyler Dunder Mifflin Paper Street Company?

The paper from the Department of Parks and Recreation is so much better these days.

You can now buy Dunder Mifflin paper. Courtesy of Staples

You can also recycle someone else's headline and submit it as your own and get it greened if you link it to a Fark partner's site.

Just so you know.

Cute. I'm still not paying a markup on farkin' copy paper though.

OK, first of all, the show hasn't been consistently good since the third season. The latest season has gone crazy with trying to be sentimental or profound in every episode, but rarely bothers to be funny. Maniacal Dwight is overused, douchey Ryan is a bore, and Andy is supposed to be a lovable loser rather than a dopey boss. Oh, and Robert California is a huge disappointment since he had the potential to be more than just an enlightened, enigmatic boss.

Also, am I wrong in saying that Dunder Mifflin shouldn't even have a line of paper since they're just a supplier and not a manufacturer? They're an office supplier serving as a middleman, and I don't think they've ever shown the company selling a private label brand. But then, maybe I'm overthinking things, since this is clearly a stupid ploy for PR for both the show and for Staples anyhow.

Charging more for the same product, while trying to cash in on a popular show that is already creatively dead, five years after they should have done it, knowing full well that people are looking for cost over some misplaced sentimentality? What kind of idiot would come up with that idea....




Oh my God.... This is the most meta, brilliant marketing strategy ever!

The Office should've ended about 3 seasons ago with Jim and Pam leaving the company to go be parents and work for a more stable company, and Dundle Mifflin bought out by Staples and shut down.
