A great episode that covers a lot of territory. My favorite moment is Michael’s line during the CPR demonstration: “No..Rose…they are not breathing…and they have no arms or legs. Where are they?” The way Carell delivers that line is hilarious. The roast was great too, although I would’ve liked to see Kevin, Phyllis, and Creed take a crack at Michael.

I really like this episode!!!!! Michael, Pam, Jim, Dwight and Andy were all amazing there. Dwight’s “fire drill” was awesome, terrific and also, terrifying for his office-mates. Too bad for Stanley. The Jim/Pam storyline was touching and heart-warming. Andy’s reactions to the bootleg movie, specially when he’s crying, was pretty funny. But I enjoyed more with Michael’s roast; my favorite roasts were Pam’s (in reference to Season 4 episode “Fun Run”)and Andy’s (an alternate version of “What I Like About You”). I loved the way Michael roasted his employees, making Stanley laugh his head off. Awesome!!!!!

Did anyone else notice after the first meeting where Dwight says “Well, I guess we papered over that pretty nicely.” Anyone? Cuz Dunder-Mifflin is a PAPER COMPANY :D bah ha ha. Favorite episode of the show, hands down

Where’s Angela? There you are. I didn’t see you behind that grain of rice. Boom, roasted.

I, for one loved the pirated movie. Mainly b/c it gave Andy such an awesome way to shine. “This muffin is bad”. It also was a great parody to me of “serious” films that I usually find ridiculous.

A little moment that I only noticed the second time I watched it. David Wallace says something about the CPR dummy costing thirty five hundred dollars. Michael replies, “wow, five thousand three hundred dollars” Wallace gives a classic double take. A very small moment, yet classic.

Tanster, do you know when the “Stress Relief” Q&A with Paul Lieberstein is going to go up?

[from tanster: no, haven't received the answers from paul yet.]

I have to add that the scene of Angela throwing her cat up in the ceiling was brilliant!

I thought Dwight’s behavior, the effects of it, and his meetings with David Wallace were hilarious! That plastic mask was truly horrific! I loved it!
I also really enjoyed the ridiculous and totally inappropriate movie with Cloris Leachman and Jack Black. It was so funny!!

While I thought the episode was decent (and I haven’t been that impressed with this season so far) I want to know what was up with the Pam’s Father/Divorce story arc. Was this put in to kill time or foreshadowing or what? Is it me or does it seem like they are just trying too hard lately?

Wonderful episode, but… why wasn’t Dwight fired for almost causing a co-worker’s death and causing general terror in the office? Is it because David Wallace thinks Michael is some sort of “secret genius” and doesn’t want to mess that up?

This episode was at least my favorite episode of any T.V. show ever. It was brilliant. The opening scene couldn’t have been more perfect. John and Jenna were amazing and I loved Michael feeding the birds that “flew west for the winter”.

That was the best episode from season5! The Panic was fantastic, i had to stop playing the video, to laugh. (Bandit falls down, oscar stuck in, kevin broke the machine :D:D) and I loved Andy’s songs (What i hate about you, stayin alive)

Great episode! Did anyone else notice that Michael skipped Phyllis when he was roasting everyone? I wonder why…

I loved this episode soooooo much!!! Opening was hilarious, i keep saying Boom Roasted every chance i get, Jam was amazing as always, but my favorite part was Creed saying “What’s a text?”

I guess I am in the minority here. I thought this was a hit and miss episode. Everything with Andy and JAM could have been cut. It seemed to me that NBC just wanted an advertisement to say ‘Here’s Jack Black and Jessica Alba’. It doesn’t seem like it’s an idea where the office writers went to NBC and said “we need two recognizable names for this script we are writing.” The Roast, and Michael’s stress relief ideas were very funny. They could have shortened this down to a perfect half hour episode.
On the bright side, both Jenna and John show why they should be best supporting actress and actor.

This was probably the best episode this season! The quotes list needs more from Kelly. Her lines at the roast were amazing!

One of the best episodes in Office history. The opening scene was absolutely incredible. The CPR class had me laughing really loudly. The roast of Michael was spot on and his “boom, roasted” sequence at the end was classic. And, of course, the bittersweet moment with Pam and Jim. I am so happy 22 million people saw this show for what it is: the BEST show on TV.

Did anyone else notice that Jenna was wearing her UGG boots in the CPR conference scene? Thought that was funny
