In this episode of The Office, Michael, Jim, and Karen go to corporate to interview for a new job, not realizing that it is Jans job. In the beginning, Kevin makes a list of why Karen and Pam are competitively hot the list went as follows:
Pam:
- taller
- bigger breasts
- also a pretty face
Karen:
- prettier face
Both were a tough call for Kevin. This could be viewed as Gaze theory and objectification/sexualization because it shows that Kevin is viewing them both as people he would like to potentially “do it” with. Dwight and Angela also discuss sex because Dwight is getting promoted. They still only work together and sleep together at this point. Jan then return to the office to talk to Michael about how she is unhappy with how her relationship ended, and Michael is not happy about it. He does not want to see her again. No matter how unhappy he was with her, when she shows him that she got a boob job he concedes. This is sexualization with Gaze theory at its finest because he is only getting back together with her for her boobs. He then continues to feel them in his office, and he tells Pam that “her advice was good but Jan’s was bigger.”
