Trivia

When Oscar asks what happened to Dwight, Creed says "You didn't hear? Decapitated, whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird." Creed obviously got Dwight mixed up with Ed Truck, but Jim says "I'm pretty sure none of that's real." Jim was working at the Stamford branch when Ed Truck died, and still doesn't know that any of that happened.

User Reviews

it is not funny..

The Office

The Return

They seem like off the track and don't get me wrong I do appreciate improvised script but it shouldn't lose its tone since it has been a while I laughed like I used to.
