HILARIOUS! One of the Best Office episodes EVER!
2 February 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I thought this episode was absolutely hilarious,I enjoyed the whole episode and I was disappointed when the commercials came on because I was basically anticipating more, I was a little disappointed with the appearances of Jack Black, Jessica Alba, and Cloris Leachman, because I thought they were going to interact with the Dunder Mifflin workers, but even thought that didn't happen what they did do was hilarious and I enjoyed it. If you are a fan of the Office I guarantee you will love this episode as much as I did. Shout out to the Creators, GREAT JOB! I am really looking forward to the next episode, and I hope it is just as funny as this one. Greg Daniels you are my hero keep doing the amazing work that has already been done!
