Don't forget to rate the show in the poll thread!

Enjoy the show!!!

OMG, a colonoscopy!!!!!

Oh my god, Michael!

A safe word? Might I suggest foliage.

Safe word?

Only Michael would try to turn that procedure into a sensuous experience.

Micheal's request of Oscar! How inappropriately funny!

And WTH would Micheal go to work on the day he's having a colonoscopy?

"The pregnancy really brought us closer."

daryl with a football jersey

No HE DIDN'T! Michael! He's serious!

Aw, poor Darryl! And Dwight's impersonation of him!

A doctor's note from Dr. Dre. Oh Dwight. haha

lol creed

I love Toby making fun of Dwight's Daryl imitation, when his own Humphrey Bogart impression is even worse.

Toby and Dwight pairing up = comedy gold.

lol kelly

Awww! Niagra Falls!

Agreed.

I love that Kelly wants to be there to support Jim.

Well, that explains why one of the 3 Amigos would have to go to the bathroom.

I HAAAATE that they had to go and show their political preferences by stating "If i were in Sweeden I wouldn't be worying aboyt this cause they have universal healthcare".........ARRRRGGG, stick to entertainment PLEASE!!!!

andy and michael with the cheese cart plan

The return of the Dwight stake out!!!

toby and dwight

I wanted Dwight to bring up the ever popular Amish healthcare options.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Mchael.... good lord.

Jim=Big Bird

wow michael dissing jim

Big Tuna is like Big Bird!

oh wow

REWIND. (I'll catch up)

Michael is so good at putting his foot in his mouth and/or shooting himself in that foot.

Love that Michael has to ask his mother about a promotion.

Why would David EVEN ask Michael's advice??????????????????

Gotta love the Sesame Street analogy.

Geez, I hope Wallace isn't going to take what Toby wrote seriously

I love that Burt is higher in Michael's list of replacement managers than "the real grown-ups."

I hope that there's some way that if Wallace does consider it, Toby's crush on Pam is brought up. That would probably help.

Maybe that was Michael's review and he changed the names. But then again, Toby did have that skeevy perv thing for Pam, ergo he isn't Jim's friend anymore.

So are Oscar and Andy the Office Bert and Ernie (Ainbowray Onectioncay aside)?

"I should have known that Michael can do just as much damage in the dark."

And that's Darryl's sister? Love Toby: "I... I don't see it."

ouch

OMG! Are you serious! She looks just like you!

lol dwight

oh wow

jims co branch manager

Dwight's having title-crisis again. I think wite-out and business cards will be involved next episode.

Mean Mister Mustard shirt was interrupted by Michael!

Co-Manager of Your Butt!

I just said to my sister, "Poor Dwight." And then he screamed.

I don't think I realized until this very episode how utterly stupid David Wallace is.

Exactly. Co-managers? Expecting Michael Scott to give up some of his duties and share? And seriously, has David never seen a performance review of Jim's before?

Not happy about this episode either.

He must have seen at least one. This isn't the first time Wallace has interviewed him.

So Scranton absorbed Buffalo's clients but not it's employees? I guess there was no need for a merger since 1) they did that already and 2) they don't need to get Jim back in the office somehow.

Exactly, Wallace thought enough of Jim to interview him for the corporate job back at the end of season 3 and even thought enough of Jim to call him into the meeting with Charles and Dwight last season...and Jim proved to have strong ideas and suggestions. And now he's relying on an unbalanced Michael to evaluate Jim as a manager,geez.

It was almost like Michael was reading his own performance eval. and who is to say that Michael was not just making up what he was reading? If it was a legit eval from Toby then it has to be taken with a huge grain of salt because of Toby's bias against Jim because of Pam (as someone else mentioned).

I know that Jim needs to remain in the Scranton branch to make things work but in the real world I would hope a "Jim" would high tail it out of there and realize the place and the people are looney tunes. I can't help but feel that Jim compromised his integrity and potential but buying into Michael's and David's plan.

Very disappointed in Michael's continued lack of growth and integrity...and Dwight is out for blood! Yikes!
