I agree that Phyllis’s lines were WAY out of character. Who thought of “Hand ‘em over numnuts” ????? WTF!?!?! Not realistic at all. I get that they treat Michael disrespectfully, with good reason… but c’mon. Phyllis is more reserved than that. It weirded me out.
Other than that little flaw, the episode was hilarious. Erin and Andy’s kiss was perfect and his “Riddit-dit-doo” literally made me laugh out loud. When Michael poured that dirty sink water onto himself, I laughed pretty hard… that dump scene was great. 9/10 on this one
It was nice to see an episode that was somewhat related to the workplace, which more of these episodes should relate to. Surprising to see all the disappointment over it.
I LOVED it! The green screen was distracting, but the episode was so great, I can forgive them for it. I have to ask, why did they do so many wide shots when the background looked so fake? Other than that, the dynamics between characters was old-school classic Office!
this is probably my least favourite episode ever. Phyllis was so out of character. first time i’m going to rate lower than 5.
I know I’m late on the uptake, but I wanted to add my “thumbs up” for this episode. Absolutely accurate portrayal of how corporate culture works (and why it’s a bad thing). I thought Andy and Erin were wonderful – that their first kiss was in a garbage dump while he was wearing a women’s coat was just perfect! Loved Creed in the “lost” glasses. And Kevin’s “I’m still enjoying this” was a classic.Oh, and Stanley’s smile…
This episode is pretty good. But I wonder what were Erin & Andy doing in the dump? I mean Andy did get the leads from Erin. And I thought the kissing moment came little bit too soon. But sales vs other scenes are great!
The episode was okay. I didn’t like the tension between sales and everyone else but after giving it a second watch, it wasn’t that bad. The green screen was a disappointment but I’m not going to be nit-picky. I liked how the Michael-Dwight storyline at the dump somewhat reflected the situation in the office and its resolution. The “rid-dit-dit-dit-do” at the end was adorable. Go Nard Dog!
I think this episode had a great amount of laugh-out-loud moments, but what turned me off was the villainy of the sales crew, especially towards their boss. It used to be that the attitude of the staff towards Michael was complete and utter frustration but still relative respect (see: Season 2, as well as especially the end of Did I Stutter?) Phyllis is sassy, not violent. Jim is deadpan, not rude. Sabre couldn’t have so completely changed the personalities and office etiquette of D.M.
Wow… no love for such an awesome episode. This was probably my favorite Brent Forrester episode of any season thus far.
For what it’s worth, I didn’t notice the green screen thing… LOL.
I thought it was a good episode overall. :-)
It pains me to see so much hate for what I think is one of the best episodes this season. It really is true what they say – you can’t please everybody.
As for the green screen thing – yeah, it was noticeable but I got over it. It didn’t bother me and I’m surprised that it ruined the episode for a lot of people. I really don’t think it’s that big a deal, people. It’s not like they do this all the time.
I personally loved that this ep showcased all of the characters. That’s what made this show so special in the first place.
The Dwight/Michael fight was hilarious and Michael’s “that’s my wife you’re talking about, man!” got the biggest laugh out of me (seeing them be buddy-buddy again made my heart soar, btw), outside of Stanley’s reaction when he realized that the sales team didn’t have to give away some of their commission.
Andy/Erin are adorable and the hotter/colder thing was priceless as was their first kiss.
Best TWSS of the season.
The whole Gabe on the phone thing reminded me of David Wallace. It just isn’t the same without Andy Buckley.
OK episode, funny moments. Not a whole lot going on though. I think because of the recent greatness that was the baby episode, it may be easier to be tough on this one though. But overall, it just wasn’t that great. I really hope they get it back and stop being hit and miss.
Oh, and the green screen thing was just horrible. Not to be mean, but did they even try? That was probably the worst done green screen I’ve ever seen in a TV show or movie. The 5 people I watched it with ALL noticed it.
@73, he was in the opening credits last week too but I don’t think he was there before?
I loved this episode! The cold open was hilarious, as was the rest of it. I was laughing the whole time. I noticed some weird stuff with the dumpster scene, but I overlooked it mostly, especially after Michael picked up the sink…hahah. I seem to be in the minority, but I thought this was a great episode. I feel like the ‘old office’ is coming back. Makes me happy :)
#70, M. Night Shyamalan is a director who lives in southern Pennsylvania. He wrote and directed “The Sixth Sense”, among other things.
I really liked that all of the characters were represented in this episode.
Ignoring the green screen, this episode wasn’t too great. There were a couple of funny moments, but they never really amounted to anything hilarious. I honestly don’t care at all about Andy and Erin’s relationship (although the hot and cold thing was definitely a highlight), and I can’t stand Dwight anymore.
Honestly, I didn’t even pay attention to the background of the dump scenes as I was watching it. I always thought the writing was what was most important to this show, but maybe that’s just me. It shouldn’t have had that much of an influence on your opinion of the episode. Besides, how many other times has the show completely screwed up the setting of a scene? Nothing is coming to mind. Give them a break.
Is this the first time Ed Helms was included in the opening credits, or did I just notice?
Maybe I’m weird/in the minority, but I just can’t hate on any Office episode – including this one, which I liked! I think this epiosde’s humor was mostly subtle, but even though it wasn’t always super obvious and “in your face” it was hilarious and brilliant nonetheless. Rereading over the quotes from the episode on this page made me love it even more. And, a first kiss in a dump? Only on The Office :) and yes, the green screen or picture or whatever may have been a tiny bit obvious, but just be thankful that they mostly don’t do that.
“Hope grows in dumps” may be one of my new favorite quotes ;)
Is M. Night Shulman a real person? Or was Jim just messing with Michael again?
Besides the horrific green screen, I thought this episode was BOMB! LOVED having Jim back as Jim. He’s been so weird and awkward and unlikeable as a manager. Plus, Dwight’s “You couldn’t handle my undivided attention” was tops. Love it!
