Like when they all go out as a big group and he's funny and charming and sweet to the woman that Jim/Pam are setting him up with. And then Jim lets on that they're trying to set them up, so Michael goes out to the car, changes his clothes, and becomes "Date Mike," who is totally insufferable.

Are we watching at the same pace? I just watched that episode two days ago. What a loveable train wreck.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

However, the last few episodes are tear jerkers. I know the show ended a few years ago, but i miss it now!

Such a touching and hilarious show.

Did that happen? Did they go from a second kid back to just one? How did I miss that?

If I'm being fair, I think it was more boring than unfunny, but it was hard to separate the two feelings. I know they probably extended it to a "supersized" episode so they could promote Ferrell's appearance, but it probably would've been better as a 22-minuter.
