Michael: It is the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas.
Dwight: Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumbass have been away on maternity leave.
Dwight: Getting hooked on Mega-Desk was my own damn fault. But … I don’t care about assigning blame. All I care about is Mega-Desk. That is all I care about. Getting. More. Mega-Desk.
Jo: My dogs love peein’ in that snow. Makes me think they’re on to something.
Michael: Good morning, honey pile.
Jo: We don’t get much coal down in Tallahassee. I mean, just alligators and some of the worst Chinese food you’ve ever tasted.

Jo: You’ll probably feel better once you get some pants on.
Michael: Does her family owe your family something, in terms of a past injustice?

This was on again tonight…MEGADESK!
1. Wow, so it seems like everyone was surprised by the foster brother hitting on Erin? I wasn’t surprised by that at all- they were together from what, 10-12 and 15-18, or something like that she said? It makes perfect sense for him to be attached to Erin. I see that playing out more in the future.
2. I like Isabel too. :) I hope she stays in the show!
Agreed with @#38. Jeff
The show is way better without Pam, for sure.
I think Oscar offering to pay definitely had something to do with his line “put the credit cards away”. He’s aware that Michael’s living on credit, and as an accountant, it irks him to no end.
Oscar was being nice because Michael had just got the whole crew out of the office. Jo was keeping them around, and Michael stood up for them.
I thought this episode was great. The only oddity I noticed was at the end when Michael offers to pay for drinks at the bar and Oscar is the one who refuses and says drink were on them. Considering how much Oscar is continually annoyed by Michael I was surprised by how cordial he was towards Michael.
Totally late in commenting…but so glad to see Todd Packer! More Packer please!!!!!!!
I totally agree with 89. Loved this episode. Really like Erin more now that I know she’s a foster child-it makes her character more real.
C:
A. It’s a sitcom.
B. Michael gave everyone a day off if they went to the wedding.
I really liked this episode a lot!
Loved it when Michael says to Jo “Good morning, honey pile”. Hilarious!
I’m an episode late commenting but how many people from your workplace show up during the delivery of your baby? That’s not normal.
The same thing goes for Jim and Pam’s wedding. They met in the office but their wedding was out of town. It just doesn’t make sense for all of them to be at their wedding.
I loved it :) It’s cool to see that so many others were as moved as I was by that 2 seconds of Andy’s face when Erin kissed him on the cheek. That was so good, and I agree with the poster who said that it showed such a depth to Andy’s normally goofball character. The “first date” wasn’t as expected, but that’s The Office for ya :) Still loving Jo, loved the baby picture of little Miss Halpert in her festive outfit :), and the Jim and Dwight Megadesk/Quaddesk!! :) and YES TODD PACKER! Also, I have to respectfully disagree with anyone who says that seasons 2-3 were the only “really good” seasons of The Office. I appreciate the growth and change that the characters have gone through over the years – you’ve gotta expect that stuff to happen, ya know? :) For me, The Office still delivers, and last night’s episode did.
The foster brother thing is what bothered me with Erin. He was a creeper, seemed like he was dependent upon Erin supporting him and also seemed to think of Erin as a little more then a foster sibling who he lived with.
However when Erin was saying goodnight to Andy it was great. Even though Andy was scared to make a move Erin just kept smiling and focused on him and made the move. It helped ease some weirdness but that brother is freaking creepy!
I thought this was a good episode, but I was disappointed in Erin… She seems rather… dysfunctional. But, I loved seeing Packer and the Megadesk subplot was creative and funny! I also feel as though Kevin’s getting to do more… but that may just be me.
In all, a fantastic episode!
Megadesk was brilliant! Kathy Bates plays her part phenomenally. And we finally get a Packer episode! This felt like a classic episode without having to be too over the top.
Laurie: There have always been “crude” lines in the show. That’s the way Packer, and to a lesser extent, Michael are. Remember the Sexual Harassment episode? Or all the “That’s What She Said’s” over the years?
Also, Mose was in Koi Pond this year, but he’s probably not going to be around a whole lot, since Mike Schur (who plays Mose) is the Executive Producer of Parks and Rec.
I thought this episode was somewhat funny – some good moments like megadesk and “Cat’s in the Cradle”. But:
1. I thought Jan would be the old character returning. Did anyone else besides me think she was lying about Astrid’s paternity, and that Michael is really the father? Would like to see that played out.
2. There were some crude lines in this show, from Michael and Packer. The show didn’t need them to be funny.
3. Wayyy too much Erin this season, not enough Angela, Kelly, Toby or Ryan. And where’s Mose?
4. I thought Jo Bennett would be meaner, like she was on the webcam chat with Michael.
Great episode! How many sitcoms have done a St. Patrick’s Day episode before? Kathy Bates was amazing, I hope she’s back some more before the season ends. I missed Pam, but it was nice to see more of the supporting cast (and Andy and Erin’s date!). A subtle thing, but I really liked the look that Michael and Darryl shared…I think Darryl understands a little more about what Michael’s life and job are like.
Good episode! Packer finally returns! That really was a plus. Darryl being in it and his “small television” comment were great. Felt like an older episode to me. The Andy/Erin element was good, although her foster brother was kinda creepy. And Andy in the kilt! Haha! And then to end with a scene of everyone having a good time at the bar. Always like to see the office workers enjoying each other’s company. Notice Matt and Oscar sitting next to each other? And before I forget, Mega Desk and Quad Desk! Hilarious! I like seeing “Old Dwight” back.
