May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

What is even happening?

Call of Duty != Call of Booty.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've never even played Call of Duty. But gamer chicks are hot.

Call of Duty != Call of Booty.

It is my duty to please that booty.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

I thought last week's episode put an end to the mini-slump the show had been mini-enduring since Phyllis's Wedding. There were impressions and B-A-N-A-N-A-S and "Beer me the CD" and "It's my job to inspect the stock once a week and it's unfortunate this happened the year I took off". And the stories unfolded with pithy grace. And Creed's actions were a nice little hidden razor blade of a kicker.

I think that's the most absurd Michael's been, at least in a setting where I couldn't buy into the behavior, even coming from Michael.

The only time I haven't bought Michael's behaviour over an extended time was the second last episode with the threatening to jump from a four-storey building onto a trampoline. That was frightfully cartoonish.

And, as much as I want to hate Karen: I kinda like her.

She's my favourite of the three. Some of that is down to my contrariness but mostly, and this is very punk rock of me, it's because she's very together and, for me, there's no more attractive feature in a person.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Late because I only tiptoe in here every once in a while and lurk.

You may know her from such cancelled hits as Popular and Life as We Know It and of course Profit.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'll forgive the trampoline because that episode managed to ride the fine line of comedy dealing with depression without falling off.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Oh, she was the secretary on Profit! She's awesome.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, thought it was funny. But I'm a sick fucker. And Michael totally thinks everything is about him. But it's not really like "You're so Vain"...more like "You're So Needy,"

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Lord beer me strength is my favorite. Oh, Halpert!

How I Met Your Mother--oh, Barney, bless. You thought Bob Barker was your dad! How awesome is that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Barney.

And now I'm super excited for Marshmallow and Lily Pad's wedding. I'm crying already.

There were impressions and B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Oh, my god, B-A-N-A-N-A-S made me howl. And I've already stated my love for "Lord, beer me strength." The look on Jim's face...

The building/trampoline thing from mumble-ep was quite over-the-top, but I loved the moment when Jim and Pam realized what he was planning - they did such a fantastic job of changing tone in that split second of recognition. Awesome.
