Asian Jim

Asian Jim Halpert played by Randall Park Hilarious and the rest of the episode is mediocre

Andy's Ancestry (#9.3)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 6 February 2019]

Andy finds out that his family might have owned slaves.

Very fun idea and I liked how they made it. The ending was pretty good. I must say I also liked Nellie in this episode. Really, in this position she is a great character. Dwight teaching Erin a fake language was also a fun part of the episode. But I would like to see more of Dwight

Boring, Terrible Comedy and Awful Character Writing

[kobedawson · 6/10 · 23 January 2022]

Just watch the cold open and save yourself from wasting 20 minutes of your life. The conversation between Jim and Darryl was alright but everything is skip worthy.

One of the best cold opens

There's not a lot to look back on season 9 for except for this cold open, "good for you for not seeing race" kills me.

Different times, higher standards

[parkrangerno7 · 3/10 · 11 February 2022]

Unfortunately, this episode is is pretty racist, making fun of Andy's family's (supposed) slave owning past in a throwaway manner - especially being enjoyed by his white coworkers. At the time, seemed funny, perhaps - thankfully, today, society does not consider this part of history entertaining, or fair game to be used for lighthearted comedic entertainment. Times change. And sometimes, for the better.

Not funny

[merterzurumdag · 8 January 2022]

I like offensive humor and this serie is so good at it. But the scene that others making fun of andy because he has slave owner ancestry was not funny. Because there wasn't joke or humor. They were just making fun of him. I didn't like it.

Generraly it was a normal episode 7/10.
