Shrute's dentist is named "Crentist."
I haven't heard anything so lame since Willow's ('Buffy') crack dealer was named "Rack."
"You can be in charge of the women." - okay, that was actually funny enough to make up for 'Earl.'

Freaking hillarious. The mid-episode "I thought you went to the dentist" confrontation between Michael and Dwight was probably the funniest thing all season.
And the CoD references were great.

Creed "Just looking" at Pam was awesome.
What's with the computer game themed (or semi-themed) tv shows lately? South park/WoW last night and now The Office and Call Of Duty.

I don't know. I think this was probably the worst episode of the series thus far. And it's not because it wasn't funny. I did laugh out loud at least as often as last week(Creed staring at Pam and the Michael going Ari on Dwight at the end were both classic moments).
It just didn't feel like The Office to me. A lot of the cast seemed too over-the-top and out of character. And what the hell was up with the rival branch having a LAN party in the middle of a work day? Aren't these people supposed to be working hard to avoid being merged with another branch? And the chick behind Jim was really annoyed by him 2 weeks ago but looks at him longingly all day long now? Wow, I guess putting a bullet between his eyes in Call of Duty really does it for her.

b> you've never been attacted to someone you're also annoyed by? I can totally see Jim having to choose between the meek/mild cute girl and the rabid sex-hungry predator. how big WAS her gun in that game, anyway?

Oh man, I totally need a screencap of Dwight with the "Liar" sign. 
Something just cracked me up about how seriously Jim's new branch was taking CoD. That and him calling his new coworker "psychopath" but still obviously being into her. I think we knew a love triangle was coming all along, I just hope they use a little creativity.
Something was off about Michael in that episode though. He came off as much smarter in getting Dwight into the right position and then turning the tables on him. It was very un-Michael, even if it was great to see Dwight's reaction.
