Re: The Office -- "Michael's Last Dundies" -- 4/21/11

I'm so glad we got another Dundies episode before Michael left, definitely seems fitting.

Meredith winning "Best Mother" was hilarious; made funnier by the fact that earlier in the episode we see her coming home in the morning to a house with an open front door.

Creed nodding to trashcans being under-appreciated, lol.

Manager: "Who gave you those crayons?"
Kevin: "I brought them from home."

Erin breaking up with Gabe on stage was incredibly awkward, but I loved it. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse..."I've just got to be honest, right Pam?"

Stanley laughing again when Michael was talking about his Phyllis impersonation

I'm glad they're addressing Dwight being mad at Michael for not recommending him as manager and not dropping that plot point. Hopefully there's a resolution between the two before Michael leaves.

I like that they're giving Michael a proper sendoff. It was nice to see everyone singing the song for him and it was definitely a pretty touching moment. Hard to believe that we've only got one more week of Michael Scott.

Everyone: "That's like watching Die Hard, 80,000 times."

Toby winning the extreme repulsiveness award and everyone telling him to just play along, since it was Michael's last Dundies.

---

I just noticed I used a lot of emoticons, but whatever. I couldn't stop laughing during this episode.

Watched the early East Coast feed while at work. Hilarious episode.

Loved Michael's impressions, especially of Phyliss.

to Erin breaking up with Gabe, though it was messed up.

Extreme repulsiveness award to Toby.

The song at the end was cheesy, but catchy. It's nice to see the family atmosphere this cast has with each other. Michael is going to be missed.

I find it funny that the Dundies are supposed to be a yearly event and this was only the 2nd episode they did with it. But, it was fitting to do it in Carell's final season.

Why do I sense a cliche 'I'm not mad that you didn't recommend me, Michael. I'm mad that you're leaving me. You're my only true friend in this office.' moment next week with Dwight?

Re: The Office -- "Michael's Last Dundies" -- 4/21/11

Did I miss a reaction shot of Andy when Erin was breaking up with Gabe?

Here's my prediction on what is going to happen to Deangelo Vickers.
Spoiler:
I think the Scranton Strangler will kill him. OK, that was my original prediction on how Michael would leave the show but I think they could actually do this with Vickers especially since Toby said he thinks the man he helped convict isn't actually guilty.

Interesting idea windom. I hadn't even considered that, but it does make sense with that little detail.

You guys do know that the song is from the broadway musical Rent, right?

I'm pretty sure everyone knew that the song was originally from Rent. It was just cool how they integrated a lot of what has gone on during the show into the song; it made for a nice "parody," of which we all know Michael is fond.

I just hope Will Ferrell isn't in next week's episode all that much. It shouldn't be about him.

Somehow I think that is too dark for this show.

I liked seeing the Dundies one more time. BTW, does anybody know if we're getting any hour long episodes this season?

Pretty sure next week's episode is an hour-long episode.

EDIT: Yes.

The Peacock announced that the comedy’s April 28 episode — Carell’s last as Michael Scott — will air from 9-9:50 pm. Additionally, Parks and Recreation will follow with an extended episode of its own from 9:50-10:30 pm. A regular 30-minute 30 Rock will close out the night.
