Glad to see Jim might have a part to play in tonight's episode. He and Pam seem to be footnotes now that they've gotten married.

Saying Timothy Olyphant's character reminded them of Josh Duhamel was awesome.

Not the funniest ever episode of The Office, but still a solid entry, and more importantly it continues the trend good episodes this season. It was much more low key of an episode, which is where this show thrives.
I liked how whenever anyone went in there to stop Meredith she cut them off before they could say a word. I find it funny that Todd Packer is still working for the company. I could've sworn he got fired at some point. I'd be happy to have Olyphant replace him though, he was beyond obnoxious.
Nice to see Andy come back from last week's episode and bond with Darryl and Kevin.
The whole bit about Pam and Olyphant's character having been out on a few dates was funny too, especially when Olyphant then told Jim that Pam stopped calling him when Jim knew full well that wasn't the case. I loved how Dwight was so angry one minute and then all nice and polite once it hit 5:00 p.m.

I can't believe I didn't realize who he was until I read this thread...

That frog song at the end was hilarious. I also had a good laugh when Darrel talked Andy down from $50 a session to $40.

My favorite part wasn't actually a funny one... it was when Michael actually became a real boss for once and gave up on placating the sales staff by giving them the cold hard truth and telling them to deal with it. One of the rare times he's sacrificed his need to be liked for a tough (and correct) call. Plus it was cool to see him in full salesman mode in convincing Oliphant to join.
