Kevin was classic, though.

Kevin was very funny, but everything about this show is getting embarrassing. It's almost as though the only reason for going on is so the main cast can pad their Producer and Director resumes.

I thought it was pretty funny, except for the stuff with Andy.
Was there really going to be a radio interview? I thought that was just the prank that Pam was playing on Dwight...only to tell him later that it had been cancelled.
I did LOL at the line about the senator "just wanting a little Mexican..." or something like that. What was the exact line?

Yeah, this was the only halfway-decent episode since the season premiere. The story about Andy's boat fell a little flat on occasion, but everything else seemed to work pretty well.

Yeah, this was pretty good. Do you guys just whine and bitch without actually watching the episodes nowadays?
Loved Daryl's look when Jim started doing the "black man" accent.

I didn't like any of the Andy stuff but everything else was pretty good and for the first time in a while I thought Kevin was funny.

Kevin was really good and the prank was pretty funny. The boat stuff was incredibly dumb, but everything else I enjoyed.

I agree that the prank and Kevin were kind of funny, but the Andy stuff is getting too annoying. He leaves his girlfriend? I know the storyline they are taking it, but it seems so forced.

I don't think I laughed once. The characters have lost all of their charm. They need to take the show out to a field and shoot it in the head.

I think they pretty much telegraphed that once they said we'd find out who s/he really was in an article prior to the start of the season.

I have to agree with many of you. I hated all the Andy stuff, but the other storylines were big hits for me. Kevin was hilarious, and the "little Mexican" line killed me. At first, I thought they were going too far with the fake radio interview with Dwight taking off his pants, but then they really went too far with it and it got even funnier. Andy really brought things down, though. People have said before about how far they have taken the character of Andy Bernard from where he had begun, and something about this episode just seemed to encapsulate all of those things for me. Or maybe it was just all the more obvious because the other characters were really clicking for me this episode.

Is Gabe still on the show? I can't remember the last time he appeared. Has he been in this season at all?
