Welcome to the All-Time Fan Favorite Poll, 2009, where you pick your favorite single episode of The Office from the past five seasons!

The poll lists, in chronological order, the top 50% of episodes from each Survivor Poll. When a season has an odd number of episodes (Seasons 3 and 4), the top 50% + 1 episodes are listed for that season.

   I knew The Injury would win(my personal favorite of the Mindy Kaling-penned episodes is the vastly underrated Take Your Daughter to Work Day). I will not be reactionary and say it’s overrated, because it is very funny and highly quotable. I am, however, so glad my pick, The Job, ranked at #5…with less than 4% of the vote. Still Paul Lieberstein (and Jen Celotta) is THE BEST!

   It’s funny how Stress Relief ranked higher than Weight Loss AND Broke. I knew it was better!

   Glad that Dinner Party was in the top ten as it was probably my fave episode.
   Kinda surprised about the Injury though…and Casino Night was only good in the last 2 minutes…

   I’m glad Conflict Resolution got some votes. It will always be my favorite episode ever! I love all of their ID photographs.

   Is it ironic that “Heavy Competition” is last? Haha.

   “The Injury” kind of surprises me, especially by such a big margin, although it’s probably in my top 5. My top pick got #4 so I’m happy with that. To be honest though, “Casino Night” wouldn’t even be close to the top if it weren’t for the last 30 seconds (it is a great episode though) and I’ve always thought “The Dundies” was a bit overrated.

   I’d like to have seen season 1 do better (did the pilot not get any votes?), and even most of season 2 I think got lower placements than those episodes should have.

   [from tanster: correct; the pilot episode didn't receive any votes.]

   I personally think that the Injury is really overrated…

   Yes! The Injury will always be my number one favorite by far!

   Wow, The Injury? Really?

    Season 2! Woooooooooooooooooo! I think The Client and Back from Vacation should be higher, but love the S2 pwnage. Best evah! But hey, where’s Cocktails?

    Well “The Injury” is certainly one of the best episodes…But I am a bit surprised that it won by as much as it did.

    Absolutely! The Injury has always been one of my favorites as well as Casino Night. YAY! :)

    I’m just going to come out and say it: “The Injury” may well be my least favorite episode ever. It’s way too over the top. The Office is always better when it’s subtle.

    Some of the newer episodes would climb up higher with time. I was quite shocked that Broke one of the best epiodes ever landed on the nineteenth spot. I’m guessing that it would be better appreciated with time like so many episodes.

    Hopefully Mindy Kaling gets a chance to view this poll, two of her episodes ranked in the top 3!

    Cool to see 11 others picking Email Surveillance. Cheers to you all.

    tanster – And your favorite is…?

    [from tanster: while i did not vote in this poll, my favorite episode is 'the fire.' that episode motivated me to start officetally. :) ]

    ahhhh, I spent so much time deciding that I missed voting. Oh well, it’s a great top 10.

    I’m surprised The Injury won! It’s my absolute favorite episode of The Office, but I didn’t realize so many others loved it too! I mean, not much is advanced in the way of character development or big plotlines, but it’s just one of those episodes where so many great jokes happen inside the office.

    This was a fun poll and it’s so interesting to see what makes a great episode for different people. ‘The Injury’ definitely a worthy winner!
