Ok just a quick continuity Error….Meredith said she has been sleeping with Bruce from Hammermill for six years. Dunder Mifflin was not authorized to sell hammermill products until the third season at the convention in Phillie….oh wait does this make me a loser….wow…!!what has two tumbs and needs a life…this guy!! (points at self)

#201- COMPLETELY DISAGREE. Very wrong. This episode gave each character a great one-liner in both the cold opener and during the conference room scenes!

I was a little disappointed in this episode because the whole episode seemed to only be about Michael and Holly. I like it when everyone is touched on, like they were in Weight Loss.

I thought it was a really excellent episode. Classic Office. I am glad Jam wasn’t the focus and nothing absolutely needs to happen to make an episode great. You know it was good when you are upset to see the credits roll.

I have a question…wasn’t Hammermill exclusive with Staples until the Convention? How could Meredith be with the Hammermill rep for 6 years?

This episode was amazing. It really reminded me of a season 2 episode…which in my opinion was the BEST season. All the JAM stuff was great, even though there wasn’t much of it. I was a little worried that the engagement would sort of ruin the show, but I think that they’re handling it really well by keeping it a minor plot point. I agree that the meredith stuff was a little extreme- but it is very much in her character to behave that way. Anyway- all in all, fantastic episode and I can’t wait for the rest this season!

Does anyone else think that Jim’s smirks to the camera are getting too expected? Don’t get me wrong, I love Jim, but I think there is an unusual focus on him thus far…he gets a lot of exposure compared to other characters. Am I just crazy?

I really enjoyed this episode. There were so many great lines. The conference room scenes always crack me up. Downloaded pirated music..discovering youtube…calling the INS on Oscar! LOL The Meredith thing was a little over the top but glad to see her part of the storyline. I missed Pam. I hope she attends the baby shower.

After watching it again, I realize why David Wallace didn’t like their HR person, Kendall. IMO, it is pretty darn believable that companies would look the other way. Whatever makes a buck, folks.

this was an interesting episode. i expected it to revolve around the new JAM engagement, and i was half-pleasantly surprised that it didn’t, even though i love JAM. it reminded me of the old Office days, like in Season 2, when it was all laughs and not as much dramatic storyline. I miss Pam, though, and when is she coming back exactly? Or is she even coming back? I’m a tad confused.

I didn’t particularly enjoy Michael tackling Jim either, but other than that, I thought this was a really great episode. Definitely better than Weight Loss in my opinion.

#169 – Perfectly said!
I think after so much JAM, I was (weirdly enough) happy to not see any Drama in this episode at all. It was just a typical day in the office – what I hope we all started watching for. Again, one of my personal favorites since Season 2. Reminscent of Local Ad last season.

I loved when Michael attempted to turn the CD player on before he did the dance with Holly… it made me crack up…

I loved the stop watch scenes between Jim and Dwight! Great episode! I would love to see more Jim/Dwight pranks in the future.

I’m with you Schruteclone…except…

Michael tackling Jim is so, IMO, forced humor. A glaring example in fact…….

Love it. What a well-written episode!

I like these episodes that focus on the workplace, because they feel so relate-able, and the supporting characters get more screen time. I also love how the Michael-Holly (Molly?) relationship progressed. They tested each others’ boundaries and personal values, and their mutual attraction still survived. Love it, awesome job by the writers!

While the Jim-Dwight stuff was funny, this episode was otherwise forgettable. I hope this is not a preview of things to come . . .

Okay, unrealistic that corporate HR would support Meredith being tacky and unprofessional, but a hilarious episode nonetheless. I was laughing so hard at the “let’s get ethical, ethical, let’s get ethical, ethical” and then Michael “whooooooo” like what a tough act of entertainment. I love it!
