Synopsis:



Episode 21 of 24


Blah Blah Blah, the Office sucks, it hasn't been good since season XX, it hasn't been good since Carell left. Andy sucks as manager, Nellie sucks, Robert California sucks, why is the show still on the air?

This thing is god damned horrible. That Nellie is about as annoying as any human being can be. Sorry I actually watched this episode.

DJLinus

Andy's out. Nellie sticks around as manager. Now *I'm* angry.

Nellie is the worst character in the history of television.

Mr. Calfornia...."Andy if you say No one more time you are fired. Now do you have anything else to say?

Andy...."NO"


LMAO


I have to watch this episode again before I go to sleep

FanofComedy

She was actually low key tonight because of Andy being so WILD

I like how he's in the description yet Sendhil Ramamurthy was on the show for like 5 seconds. And yeah, strongly dislike Nellie. But it was good to see Angry Andy back. The open and close were pretty good too.

astrochimp

Some really great lines in this one I thought. Not that I can recall them but I laughed quite a bit.

FanofComedy

What about this one?

Robert California: "Andy if you say No one more time you are fired. Now is there anything else you would like to say?

Andy: "No"


LOL

madcougar

Agreed.

majorjoe23

My favorite line?

Robert California: "Andy if you say No one more time you are fired. Now is there anything else you would like to say?

Andy: "No"

Surprised no on has mentioned it.

That was easily the worst episode of the entire run of the show. Nellie refusing to step down from her self-appointed job, Robert California passively accepting her insubordination, the entire office following her orders and ignoring Andy's, then an office conference on impotence and Dwight trying to showcase his erection...seriously??? This show might as well be a Happy Madison production at this point. I think I'm done with it.

I haven't watched since this year's Christmas episode. Just checking in to see if I've been missing out and need to catch up. Wow, guess not...

magiccmom

This show has gone from being one of my all time favorites to simply just being backround noise while I play WWF. I hardly look up. It's horrible.

Mr. Flix

This is one of the few times I've actually enjoyed a Ryan/Kelly storyline. Everything else was rubbish and/or uncomfortably graphic.

DeputyDave

I've been avoiding the bandwagon for some time now... I am one episode away from jumping on board and joining the hate.

Jacoby Ellsbury

Best episode of the season. The impotence meeting reminded me of one of my favorite episodes of all time "Diversity Day" Season 1 episode 2.

Gabe-"Erin doesn't even like sex, she told me it's like getting tackled by a skeleton"

Then Gabe's prostate comment, then Robert's reply then Gabe eagerly agreeing.

So many funny one liners. The opening was pretty good too with the rain comments and then the Ryan-Kelly thing was decent.

I had to join this forum simply because I was sooo upset about watching the Office last night.. ok, some venting...

Who is writing for this show now? Having seen every episode since the beginning, this has got to be one of the worst seasons ever, and this last episode one of the most frustrating from a whole host of perspectives.

Thoughts:
-when was the last time you saw anyone in that office actually work? Does anyone call on the phone or go to a clients for a sales call? Everyone sits around and doesnt work. Its like Friends without the coffee shop.
-When is it plausible that someone who has been fired in another state can simply walk into a different branch and assume a managerial position? With that logic, Dwight have moved out Nellies stuff long ago and simply barracaded himself in the office and survived as manager.
-what purpose does Robert California serve? He seems to wander aimlessly through each episode as if on 'shrooms and has no ability to say "no" to an ugly woman such as Nellie?
-where is the coworker loyalty or support for Andy when he returns? Instead you have everyone supporting a fictious manager?
-Of all the irritating characters, is there anyone worse then Nellie?
-Does HR, Toby serve a purpose anymore?
-Where is corporate, and why would anyone who is aligned with corporate, such as Gabe, go along with a hijacked manager?
-Is it me, or is Pam flat out annoying now? She sticks her nose into everyones business, but I never see her do any work.
...
At this point, my thoughts on the characters:
-Nellie-so irritating I want to stop watching the show, or else Id like to see Dwight get some sandpaper and file off that mole on her face. If nothing else, how about a brawl between her and Erin and Erin kicking her butt?
-Robert-talk about a spineless, useless character. Once upon a time this guy was actually a fairly decent actor, and it makes me wish the guy from Pretty in Pink would take his alter ego.
-Jim-has really lost his sense of pranks, loyalty to Andy, etc.
-Pam-annoying and butts into everyone business.
-Angela-has always been annoying, but, she also was a stickler for following the rules and protocols of the company. Anyone in accounting or auditing would be laughing at the lack of Sarbanes Oxley etiquette for simply docking peoples pay at the whim of a person who isnt even legally on the corporate payroll.
-Kelly and Ryan-how many times do we need to see that drivel.
-Oscar-he himself no longer is a stickler for detail and instead seemed more insterested in that Ravi guy.
-Meredith-did she even talk last night?
-Toby-as he himself stated, hes useless. Since HR is corporate, and theres no heirarchy anymore, and people can do whatever they want, why even have an HR person there?
-Stanley-he would never put up with a mgr as bad as Nellie, and he instead would be sitting there doing crossword puzzles or ignoring her. Was he suddenly neutered too?

A better ending last night.. Andy seeks out Dwight and promises Dwight a promotion if he helps take down Nellie, Dwight provides information that Nellie is afraid of magicians, Andy does magic in Nellies office, she goes running out, Robert sees Andy back at his desk and says, well done.

Or.. Erin and Nellie get in a fight with Erin whaling on Nellie and when Dwight steps in, Ellie nails Dwight with a right cross, and Dwight then subdues Nellie and Jim calls Hank the security guy and says theres a crazy woman in the office, and in checking with HR, Toby says, I dont show a Nellie being employed here, and shes dragged away by her hair.

the possibilities go on and on.. but if this is the best the writeres can produce, then surely the show has jumped the shark....

Sorry to vent...

TGM

is it too late to get this guy to come and burn the place (with all inside) to the ground?

CharlieK

Another great cold open, though.

madcougar

The exception to the rule...

Rob V

Huh... and I thought having Andy angry would make the show better. I want to punch the writers in the face for introducing Nellie.

fumanstan

I thought all the impotence talk was pretty funny.

Jacoby Ellsbury

Seems to me its about 50/50 on this episode. I've watched every episode of this show, its one of my all time favorites, but this season has been horrible and Im at the point of wishing they would end the series, but I thought tonight's episode was a nice throwback. The impotence meeting was hilarious. I agree, I can't stand Nellie. I came to the revelation on this episode that her character is basically that of a dominatrix. Not really a likeable character type unless you are into that kind of thing

Don Homer

Catherine Tate's back on the show? Ugh, I hated her character in the finale last season. I'm way behind on this show and was going to catch up on Hulu, but now I think I'm done with it for good.
