This episode was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Dwight/Andy was funny, and Daryl's reactions during the road trip (and Michael's whining about Holly breaking it off with him) cracked me up.

On the other hand, I wasn't really getting the whole sub-plot with Pam and Jim's brothers. That didn't really go anywhere, and the performances of the actors playing Jim's brothers seemed strangely broad.

Sad to see Holly go, but it does add another element of the bittersweetness that enhances the show.

I thought this episode was pretty solid, but I wish we could have had more Halloween stuff. That was a bit disappointing. Liked the Cornell stuff though but, as most, sad to see Holly go.

"Did Darryl touch you?"

So confused on the Halloween part. Didn't the whole episode take place in the course of one day? Did they change out of their outfits after being at work for an hour? Dwight goes into the elevator as the Joker and comes out in a Cornell sweatshirt and the whole office is "normal".

I disagree. I think they spent the perfect amount of time on the Halloween stuff. They made the jokes that needed to be made, and they especially nailed it with 3 different Jokers in one office. IMO, the fact that they only spent a few minutes on the Halloween stuff will give this episode a lot more replay value.

It threw me for a second as well, but it was pretty clearly two days.

It just keeps getting better and better! This season might be the best one yet.

Loved the part when Holly was crying and Michael asks her, "Did Darryl touch you?"

It was?

Seemed like they were all dressed up and then Michael was downstairs packing Holly up while Jim left to NY. I don't recall ever even seeing Michael in the office (where he would no doubt be dressed like an idiot). And Halloween is on a Friday...so are they working on the weekend?

i loled when Dwight wanted to do the pencil trick line, but the elevator closed on him before he could finish.

If we are staying true to what the show is (a documentary about a paper company) then it can't possibly be this Halloween. But then the Joker makeup wouldn't make any sense, since that movie came out this summer. So maybe it's best to not be so literal about the show and just enjoy the comedy.

Yeah, there's no reason to think that it has to be this Halloween on a Friday. I just assumed it was a day later and moved on, although it was odd at first.

Boring episode. The intro with Joker Creed was great but confusing when they werent in costume. Pretty stupid.

I still dont see what makes "Pam" attractive...

awful episode. other than the Creed-Joker, didn't laugh once. The scenes with Jim's brothers were tedious. The Andy/Dwight stuff went on way too long, and again tedious. This was the first Office turd of the season, IMO.

That had to be the worst episode ever. The only real laugh I got was Pam's costume when she took off the hat.

The whole moving Holly thing and the Cornell stuff was just annoying.

These were the two LOL moments for me last night. Both cracked me up.

Poor Darryl. How the hell did he get roped into driving up with them?

"It's pronounced Colonel and it's the highest rank you can achieve in the Army" -- classic line by Creed.

If Michael EVER leaves this show, there is no show. I can't understand why people are so annoyed with him -- that's the freakin point!

Daryl joining in on the "Life is a Highway" singalong had me laughing.

Agree, weak episode. Two out of the three stories happened away from the office. It's called The Office for a reason.

Let's hope Jim's brothers are never heard from again. How lame was that?

And why was Daryl moving Holly? Weird.

It should have been a full Halloween episode. It started out with so much potential.

^This.

Perfect setup for a hilarious Halloween episode, then dropped. Really disappointed not to see Kevin's response when Dwight showed up with the same costume.

Moving the story line along I suppose for the couples, but not very funny, and overall a dud.

I'm happy he went because Darryl always brings the funny when he talks to Michael. Although, I would have liked to see a scene with Michael trying to convince Darryl to drive them up there.

I agree that this episode was just meh but it did have its moments. This would have been better served as a complete Halloween episode and they should have moved the plot points that happened this week to next week.

That and Michael "singing the blues." !

I also felt it was a weak episode. The Halloween stuff should have been longer. There were some good parts but wasn't one of the top episodes, just kinda blah.

I loved the part when Michael goes
"I just want you to find a man who makes you happy."
"Thank you"
"... and you did..."

yea this episode wasnt funny, only about 2 funny moments
