If you go back and watch the first few seasons and view them through the lens of how well the jokes would work if they were aired as new episodes today, you'd probably hate every one of them. It's not a fault of the writers, it's just that this kind of comedy relies on being fresh. I can't imagine how difficult it is for the writers to come up with new ideas that are actually funny after 7 seasons. I give them a ton of credit for wringing out the towel a little harder than usual last night to produce a quality episode with great timing and chemistry.

"Yeah I get it, Andy's slamming my girlfriend" and Kevin's laugh was hilarious to me for some reason

"She goes to a different school!" was great too

I actually think Oscar has consistently gotten better over the course of the series.

I think Erin is doing pretty good lately, had some decent lines contrary to last season (iirc)

this episode was fantastic

"she goes to a different school" had me lol'ing as did creeds example of pda (actually surprised no ones mentioned it as the "creed killed it meme" is usually huge)

jim and pam were good, andy and erin were good, dwight was ok (worst of the ep), gabe had some nice moments

i dont really care much for michael/holly, im glad hes happy though and i hope they write him better and have less of his cringe-inducing/michael moments based on spite

oh yea kevin implying that oscar must hate michael/holly at the end was gr8 too

Jim plopping into the warehouse box and trying to coax Pam to join him for drunken sex while she walks away disgusted still makes me laugh in my head. Drunk Jim and Pam, ftw.

Then I think he dropped about 10 IQ points a season until he was just a complete bumbling ******.

This is a very good example

Homer Simpson is another example.

Feel like it's THE example, my first thought as well.

Kinda funny people complain about this factor then people still love Kevins monkey ****, I feel like he, after Michael, is the character they've completely turned into an idiotic cartoon while before he was a sincerely slow funny character.

Any chance this won't be the worst episode in series history?

To see how Kevin should have been done, see the UK version. In fact, to see how all the characters should have been done, see the UK version.

Pretty sure he wasn't a cartoon character during the basketball episode.

Like I've always said, there is not one US Office character that is better than their UK counterpart. Unless you count Pam being hotter than Dawn, which is definitely true, but Dawn was a much better and more believable character.

The awkwardness of when Ryan realizes Pam and Jim wanted to have sex in his office is underappreciated in this thread.

So Michael is gone in 1-2 episodes?

Also, how far in advanced do you guys think they film shows?

I'll have to rewatch the first few seasons, but still doubt even up to season 3 Kevin is anything like seminar running Kevin.

Gabe gained a lot of cool points in this episode. I have always liked Kevin, especially since the episode we found out he is a WSOP Bracelet winner lol can't remember which event but that cracked me up.
