Michael + stripper in the office = Hilarity ensues and lots and lots of it.

I need my Jenna fix, now dammit!

There isn't much better than a day that has a new episode of The Office at the end of it.

All the Andy-haters out there probably won't be too happy with this news:

Helms gets promotion at "Office"

But I am.

I hate his character, but it is great for laughs and offers a foil for Dwight (and everyone else), so I'm glad he's staying around.

Good news.

I like the dynamic between Andy and Dwight. Hopefully, it becomes all all-out war between them.

You're not supposed to like his character. I believe his character though. And his ringtone was maybe one of the funniest gags ever on this show.

Absolutely the funniest cell phone ringtone gag I've ever heard.

I'm predicting at least one "That's what she said" in this episode

That would be great. I hope they also fit in a shot of Jim starring at the camera.

I'm hoping for some uncomfortable silence

Loved the adult bookstore scene.

On the DVD release hope they include both the blurred and unblurred scene via seamless branching.

I loved Meredith and Angela this episode, as well as Michael trying to talk his way out of the "man shower."

But the line that had me on the floor was Roy saying what he found attractive was Pam's art.

The Pam/Karen conversation was really... realistic. I liked it.

Hilarious episode, I haven't laughed as hard to as much in a while.

When is Karen going to be made a regular?

also loved when Dwight asked Jim if he wanted brunette or red-head and he picked the neutral blond.

The whole video to his future son at the beginning was great. Loved the demonstration on how to jump-start the car.

I was on Wikipedia while watching the show so I jumped over to Braveheart and the term was on there.

It wasn't a Guys' Night Out.

It was a Guys' Afternoon In.

A GAI.
