The premise sounded bad, but that episode was a lot of fun. Glad to see the show do an episode where everyone just got along and had a good time.
I liked how Angela just walked right under the limbo pole. And way to go Kevin.

Didn't care much for this one. A little too weird for my tastes. Still had some moments but the Phyllis thing was REALLY stupid (feeding her carrots like a horse? Really??) and the disco wasn't funny enough to counteract that. I liked Pam and Jim's stuff but the rest of it was pretty poor.
Weakest episode of the season, by far. Which is a shame because they were on a real roll.

The show picked up 1/2 way through.. I was worried that this was going to be one of those Michael buffoon episodes, but when everyone started to dance - the episode became "fun"
I loved the Kelly / Andy dance off.

Wasn't the best episode, but it was just an enjoyable filler. You just have to remember that this is a sitcom, and a silly one at that.

That's what I was going to say. For the first half, I was thinking it was pretty bad, but I ended up enjoying it. Not one of their "sharper" episodes, but good.

That new receptionist is pretty cute. She seems familiar though, but maybe it's because she sort of looks like the actress who played the blind girl Kenneth liked in that episode of 30 Rock a while back, except she is a brunette and not a red head. Yes, I'm too lazy to check all of this on imdb right now.

Last week's My Name Is Earl flat-out explained why they made a filler episode. It was a nice capper to explain the waste of time.
This episode of The Office was terrible. Absolutely nothing happened.

After last week's enjoyable episode, I thought this one was a real disappointment. Additionally, Jim & Pam are really starting to get on my nerves. Well, Pam has been for awhile. Looks like they may be building up to a big wedding episode.

What dance competition? I was just dancing casually with my friends ya'llllllllll.
"...also, this song is fantastic." *starts dancing*
I wouldn't have any problem at all if Dwight and Erin started playing more pranks on Jim and Pam.

Googling her "Ellie Kemper" shows that she is an active improv comedian.

I think it was a pretty weak episode for what has been a good season. It reminded me a lot of Season 4, where there were several episodes filled with similarly contrived quirkiness, and plots that went nowhere.

Though it may be reading into it too much, it is not that far fetched.

Yeah, I'm totally agreeing with Draven on this one. The whole episode seemed to really have no point, as if they needed to come up with one more show to fill out the season, and this was the best they could do on short notice. Even the little subplot with Jim and Pam seemed forced and inconsequential.

My tastes with regards to The Office are very similar to M.Giant's over at TelevisionWithoutPity and he called it the worst episode ever, so I'm glad I'm not alone too

Yes. I posted the video in regard to her in the previous Office episode thread. I guess no one peeked with the NSFW button...
