I hate to say it, but 30 Rock is so much funnier than The Office right now. The only part I really laughed at last night was when Jim was first tallying the votes up and Angela voiced that she would not be participating and Jim quickly and nonchalantly says "No one cares."
"Whatchu talkin' bout, WALLACE?!?!?" and the COLD OPEN made Mrs. SwoLy laugh extremely out loud. WTF? A G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-ghosssttt!!!!! glad i could help you feel 'back' with my annoying posts, sir. Toodles.
This episode was weak. I think they should bring another storyline or two into the show. It's good that Dwight/Angela/Andy is sorta dead and Jim & Pam's wedding isn't force fed every week. But since the show is mature, it's needs some threads to follow. Either that or make the individual episodes more funny. This one had potential but the presentation was wanting.
I actually thought the Hilary Swank scenes were excellent...classic office banter. Michael and Dwight scenes were classic Office "Michael squirm scenes" that I didn't care for as much. But it was far from one of the worst episodes ever...not even the worst episode of the season. Loved it when Michael came in at the end and broke the tiebreaker.
Whatchu talkin bout wallace was hilarious. But the rest of it just dragged. I laughed maybe 3 times. Nothing like last weeks episode.

Wow, I'm shocked to read the other posts. This episode was really really funny. Think back to "The Injury" from season 2. This one was simillar in having LOL moments one after another. Who cares about building story and plot. Quite frankly I was dead tired of Jim/Pam and Dwight/Angla story plot lines. Freaking funny hilarious moments for the win.
The Office isn't funny anymore. I don't know what it is, I think the writers have become too serious.
Have you watched the whole season? That's not true at all. At least they got this out of the way: http://tvdecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/16/nbc-renews-30-rock-the-office-biggest-loser/ NBC Renews ‘30 Rock,’ ‘The Office,’ ‘Biggest Loser’ By The New York Times The Associated Press reports: NBC is renewing Tina Fey’s “30 Rock” for the 2009-10 season, along with “The Office” and “The Biggest Loser.” Besides the return of the comedies and the weight-loss reality show, NBC announced Thursday that it has set a premiere date for Amy Poehler’s new comedy, a mockumentary about local government. The show, yet to get a title, will debut 8:30 p.m. EST April 9. “Southland,” a new police drama from “ER” executive producer John Wells, also will debut April 9, at 10 p.m. EST.
i've seen every episode numerous times.. this one wasn't even close to the Injury. not by a longshot, sorry
