112 | Pam Scherbatsky Fri. May. 23, 2008 at 6:27amMan, Dinner Party is not getting a fair shake. I thought it was a brilliant episode, one of the best of the series. My only guess is that since it was the first episode back from the strike, people were ready for more wacky Office-antics, but instead they got this really different, dark episode.
I’d say my favorite 3 episodes are:
1. Goodbye, Toby
2. Dinner Party
3. Money
I agree that Survivor Man was easily the worst episode of the season…it’s the “Phyllis’ Wedding” of Season 5, if you will.
111 | Steven K Wed. May. 21, 2008 at 3:21pmi really loved Night Out, I’m surprised its so low on the list
110 | AD24 Wed. May. 21, 2008 at 1:04pmhmmm…not really happy with the list, but what can i do? lol…here’s mine (favorites to least favorite)
1. goodbye toby
109 | oaky afterbirth Wed. May. 21, 2008 at 12:11pm2. money
3. did i stutter?
4. fun run
5. the deposition
6. launch party
7. dinner party
8. local ad
9. night out
10. survivor man
11. DMI
12. chair model (it really wasn’t funny to me…too much focus on JAM)
13. branch wars
14. job fair
1.)Launch Party–9.9
2.)Goodbye Toby–9.9
3.)Chair Model–9.8
4.)The Deposition–9.8
5.)Night Out–9.0
6.)Did I Stutter?–9.0
7.)Local Ad–8.8
8.)Money–8.8
9.)Fun Run–8.5
10.)Survivor Man–8.4
11.)Dinner Party–8.2
12.)Job Fair–7.8
13.)Dunder Mifflin Infinity–7.5
14.)Branch Wars–7.0
I think Launch Party, Goodbye Toby, The Chair Model, and the Deposition are the greatest combination of humor, pathos, editing, and acting.
108 | Button Wed. May. 21, 2008 at 12:10pmI think people were hard on Did I Stutter because of how serious part of it were. Watching it again, I really appreciate the funny in it, too.
107 | Alison Wed. May. 21, 2008 at 11:55amWow never expected the finale to rate that high.

Hey, people actually liked a post-strike episode! The super low rating for “Did I Stutter?” confuses me.
14. The Deposition

i agree with, besides chair model, pre-strike episodes crushing post-strike episodes
104 | mike Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 7:29pmUs Tallyheads have been so hard on post-strike episodes! Chair Model being the exception, of course. But nothing tops Money!
103 | MissTerious Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 6:43pmi find the hour longs so hard to rate. for me the first half of fun run was okay and the second half was awesome. dunder mifflin it is the opposite. branch wars and night out, i loved the a story and thought the b story had funny parts (of course) but i wasn’t in love with the plot. i think every episode of this show is great i feel like i have to be strict with the episodes in order to rank one over another! every episode has moments and lines that are outstanding and rank at the top with any other episode.
102 | tuna tuna tuna Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 5:14pmWhy the lower rating for Job Fair tanster?
101 | motorboat Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 3:08pmSince we’re doing lists:
1. Survivor Man
2. Fun Run
3. The Deposition
4. Dinner Party
5. Money
6. Night Out
7. Local Ad
8. Chair Model
9. Launch Party
10. Branch Wars
11. Dunder Mifflin Infinity
12. Did I Stutter?
13. Job Fair
Mine is NOTHING like the official list. But as someone else pointed out, the rating difference between them is pretty minimal.
100 | Pamalamadingdong Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 2:55pmUpdated once more, my list.
1) Money (9.5/10)
99 | Pam Scherbatsky Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 2:03pm2) Fun Run (9/10)
3) Dinner Party (8.8/10)
4) The Deposition (8.5/10)
5) Local Ad (8.3/10)
6) Chair Model (8.1/10)
7) Job Fair (8/10)
8) Did I Stutter? (7.9/10)
9) Branch Wars (7.8/10)
10) Dunder Mifflin Infinity (7.6/10)
11) Launch Party (7.5/10)
12) Night Out (7.3/10)
13) Survivor Man (7/10)
Job Fair looks about right and it is where I’d place it. I still wish Dinner Party and Did I Stutter? were a smidge higher.
98 | Matt Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 1:02pmThis is my list:
1) The Deposition (xoxo Michael)
2) Dinner Party, Fun Run, Did I Stutter?, Night Out, Branch Wars, Money, Dunder-Mifflin Infinity, Chair Model, Launch Party, Local Ad, Survivor Man
“Everyone inside the car was fine STANLEY.”
97 | Win Win Win Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 12:47pmGiven that there is just a difference of 1.5 points between the top and bottom of the list, I’m not too upset that some episodes I really like are lower down (I, too, loved Survivorman… “Lunch!”)
I also think maybe rankings are affected by the order the episodes aired (I know I probably rated Fun Run higher than I might have if it had not been first, and Did I Stutter and Job Fair may have suffered from coming after Chair Model, which people loved.)
96 | TobyFan Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 12:45pmTanster:
Do you vote on these episodes as well? If so, what were your scores? I’d love to hear them!
[from tanster: excellent question! no, i do not vote in these polls. in fact, i don’t even look at the poll results until after the poll has closed! i would have voted ‘job fair’ lower, and ‘dinner party’ much MUCH higher. :) ]
95 | David Tue. May. 13, 2008 at 11:51amSprinkles’s list:
01. Money - 10
02. Night Out - 10
03. Fun Run - 9.5
04. Launch Party - 9.5
05. Chair Model - 9
06. Dinner Party - 8.5
07. Did I Stutter? - 8.5
08. The Deposition - 7
09. Local Ad - 6.5
10. Dunder Mifflin Infinity - 5
11. Survivor Man - 4.5
12. Branch Wars - 4
I don’t think “Night Out” gets enough love from the fans. I also think I need to rewatch “The Deposition.”
94 | Sprinkles Wed. May. 7, 2008 at 2:58pmDid I Stutter actually had, I thought, some really lovely JAM moments, although they were quite subtle.
(That Pam knew something was wrong with Jim after his “warning,” even though she couldn’t see his face, for one.)
