Stanley getting tranked reminded me of this...

When Dwight pushed the elevator button at the end, I thought for sure it would reveal that it had been working all along despite the signs.

Stanley getting shot was hilarious. The rest with Stanley, Dwight and Clark, is just another lame plot with characters that are no longer human beings and just characters in a comic strip. Painfully stupid.

Also Kevin keeping Oscar's secret was pretty good. Probably the funniest thing he's done since the writers made him a full on special needs case years ago.

I liked it, the Stanley, Dwight, and Clark bits were funny.

Another good episode for the most part. Glad to see it's ramping up here at the end (although given how bad this season has been, that doesn't take much!).

I thought Stanley getting shot was another stupid and completely ridiculous Dwight plot up until the point they wrapped him in bubble wrap... and then it got really funny. Clark asking Dwight to call them arms and legs really cracked me up for some reason. The rest of the episode (besides Kevin keeping the secret!) were pretty terrible but that still makes this one of the better episodes this season.

Clark has been a great addition to the cast this season. The guy is pretty damn hilarious. I got tons of laughs over the Dwight/Clark/Stanley bit. Not too many from the other three storylines. Overall it was a solid episode.

It's weird, I'm not a big fan of Clark Duke but he's about the only bright spot this season.

Yeah, I didn't like Clark at first but he's one of the few palatable characters. These past couple episodes have been solid, hopefully it finishes strong.

Yeah, ever since Clark came back from captivity with Jan, and was recast as mini-Dwight, he's been a bright spot. A far cry from his creepy earlier self.

The Jim/Pam marriage counseling thing seemed oddly out of place... I mean, I think we all know where this is going, so I almost feel like it's going through the motions to setup a reconciliation at the end.

I did like how the Senator blindsided both Pamela and Oscar (and then Creed's comment). I also liked how they explained why Dwight would just lose it and do things his own way.

How did they missed the opportunity to use Creed, I'll never understand. He was standing there watching the news conference the whole time and only comment was "His chief of staff is gay"? Really?

Security guard watching them the whole time was the biggest laugh for me.

This felt like a good old The Office episode.

What was the joke when Andy called the first talent agency?

A bit too slapsticky for me with the Stanley stuff. The senator stuff was fun though.

That he could just call them from nowhere and ask to speak to the head guy. That particular agency is one of the biggest in the business.

There was one agency he called that apparently said they were hanging up & he said he'd hold. They told him again & he got the message.

Are we sure just Kevin was the only one who knew? It seemed Phillis already knew.
