This was the first episode in awhile I really didn't care for. It wasn't that funny.. some really awkward moments (Andy and the lady with the dead car), but I liked the Kevin bit.

I thought we went from one of the best episodes to one of the worst. I should've figured without Jim and Pam on it.

I agree, we went from a classic to the least interesting and least funny one that I can remember for a long time.

It's like they were burnt out after the wedding.

I didn't think this episode was really all that great, either. The first time in quite a while I really didn't care for. And it boggles my mind why the creators of the show would choose to delete the scene with the painting and leave in all the unfunny. That single deleted scene was funnier than the entire episode.

It was a small thing, but the "gabba gool" thing had my wife and I laughing pretty hard.

I know that this should go in last week's thread, but look what came in the mail today:

Someone explain. Is this a pop culture thing I missed out on? The gabba gool thing escaped me.

It refers to "capicola", which is a traditional Italian cold cut:

Capicola

Often referred to in different dialects as something resembling "gabba gool", my wife (Italian American) was trying to be offended by it but was laughing too hard.

I didn't get this either. Even after the explanation I still don't find it funny

It's a Sopranos thing. That's what made me laugh. Michael has mentioned how much he likes the show several times before, I think. Isn't Prison Mike somehow related to his love of the Sopranos?

Okay. I still wasn't getting it after zombeaner's link either. I never watched Soprano's but that does make some sense.
