Probably the best Office yet....this had absolutely everything going for it.

Creed being an absolute creep.

Stanley rolling his eyes about 74 times.

Kevin getting giddy about his shredding

The absolutely priceless Dwight-Andy power struggle.

Pam messing with Dwight.

Jim and Karen CONFIRMED

Phyllis rambling about Bob Vance.

Awesome, awesome episode.
 
My gosh what an awesome episode. Everything was awesome. I feel so bad for Toby.

And dammit Jim, just ****ing get with Pam already you're so stupid.

Even though I love Karen.

No way, Karen ftw. Pam had her chance and blew it.
 
That was such a great episode. BTW I'm squarely in Team Pam's corner! Why can't you see that she loves you, Jim???

Oh and Andy coming to Scranton is just hillariousness.
 
Wow they really nailed it with this episode. I couldn't stop laughing. Andy vs Dwight is pretty much awesome. Ed Helms better be made a main castmember pronto.

so how do they fit in the office uk storylines? Just wondering, because a merger happened in it, not sure what series. Just curious if this is an episode with ricky et al involvement or not.

They've gone totally away from the UK storylines as far as I can tell. And its working really, really well. Awesome episode. And Karen > Pam. No contest.
 
This has got to be one of the best episodes yet. Toby trying to pound fists with Jim was probably the best part.

And Team Pam all the way.
 
oh man. every episode should be this long.

easily best episode of the season

i dont know how anyone can still be on team pam.
 
Not likely...
If you're impatient dailymotion.com manages to usurp Youtube in one regard by swiping the full episode for viewing quite quickly.
 
I'm just wondering how they're going to give each character enough show time.

Also something that bugged me (I have no idea why): how do they have room for that many people in the office? It seemed crowded with just the Scranton people there.
 
Just wanted to chime in with another "best episode of the season/top 10 ever". So much awesome.

"What is that? Is that a squid eye?"

I actually gasped when Michael told the new black guy that he'd show him "where they kept the slaves." Holy shit.

:lol :lol :lol Yep pretty much the best episode EVER!

Oh and I'm team Karen all the way!
 
I'm sad because it was a Team Karen win in the short term but I can already tell it will be a Team Plain win in the long term.
 
I liked the episode, but I think it's going to wear on me fast. It feels like a crossover show now, escpecially the Andy/Dwight thing. It's like some exec's kid said "YOU KNOW WHAT'D BE AWESOME? IF, LIKE, SAVED BY THE BELL MET FAMILY MATTERS AND SCREECH AND URKEL HAD TO COEXIST!! THEY'D KILL EACH OTHER TRYING TO BECOME THE ALPHA-DORK!"
 
Still onboard with Team Pam -- she's so sweet and cute.

"If you think sheÂ’s cute now, you should have seen her a couple of years ago. Rawr!"

- Michael Scott
 
"Jim's a nice guy. That's why I got the desk."

Awesome ep, nice comeback after the two weaker eps of the season.

Team Karen, btw.
 
"...maybe italian, possibly filipino."

exotic girls FTW.

"was your dad a GI?"

ahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

*the young black guy giving the older black guy the "my brother" chest pound*

ahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
What a fantastic episode.

"I'll take you to where the slaves work"

:lol


Andy is 100% what dwight's character should have been from the start.


oh, and poor pam. =(

I'll take the risk... what's a GI? US Soldier? I don't get it.

Yup, US Soldier. He was implying that she's a daughter of a US soldier and a Filipino woman he married while overseas:P
 
After blasting the last episode in last weeks thread I have to joyfully praise this one

I was LOLing the entire episode, well done writers, well done *golf clap*


Oh and team Karen...( even b4 pam pulled that shit in the parking lot)
 
Just snagged it off iTunes. Great episode so far. I like Pam on her own, she's a great character and seeing her not play buddy cop to Jim makes me wish we had more Jim-less Pam.

This Staples product placement is ridiculous. They even mentioned Staples last week.

Agreed. I thought the shredder stuff was hilarious until the Staples ad came on advertising the exact same shredder. Then I felt kind of angry and gross.

edit: I felt the same way about the way they made sure you could see the HP logos in the Stamford office AT ALL TIMES.

well its not like this is the first time we have seen this. Anyone remember the iPod last year?
 
Woah. Total Pam-bomb this weekend. She had more character growth in this episode than she has in the last 2 seasons.

PREDICTION: Jim dates Karen, Pam dates ?, Jim and Pam fall in love, anyway.

:lol i just saw the full music video for Lazy Scranton on nbc.com

also, from jenna fischer's blog..
Yes, Oscar is coming back. If you remember from the first episode, he got a 3 month paid vacation. But, he will be back. Oscar Nunez, the actor who plays Oscar, has his own show on Comedy Central that he's been working on while his character was on "vacation".

We have an hour long Christmas special this year. It's VERY fun. Directed by Harold Ramis. We LOVED working with Harold Ramis (director of Groundhog Day). The episode is rumored to be our best ever.
