Apparently The Office's writing room has 3 people and a filing cabinet left in it: 
1 who writes plot premises but barely fleshes them out
1 who writes Andy's weird shit
1 who writes Dwight and Gabe's weird shit
The filing cabinet is full of "things we wrote/would have written for Michael".

Anyone else feel like the "Can it, ham"-type lines got a little out of control? I don't remember everyone having all of them all the time— it was like they emptied a piggy bank of them all over the script.

You haven't fixed Africa yet.

@PaulKinsey:disqus He must have just found her charming, because lord knows there's more compatible thick white women in brooklyn.

This is the main issue: they created an 8-year backstory with no depth whatsoever, (btw, I'm pretty sure that their no-fraternization policy that just arrived retroactively would forbid the two couples from being BFF) and immediately cast it away so that two characters can rekindle a relationship that had only minor…

@avclub-f900c211bceaaa9016dda3f017176e7a:disqus I think my favorite part was "I mean, girls DO love a buffoon". Just look at these examples from television!  Buffoon does not equal funny, fullstop. Buffoon is not attractive.

Uhh, yeah. That's why it's a stupid thing to get upset about, particularly because the most of the upset people don't get so upset when it's a better looking ass that's being thrown in their face each week.

You seem confused about "people attractive people are willing to fuck a handful of times, especially on a whim", and "people attractive people are willing to take outside.", and "people hipsters from brooklyn are willing to take outside"

@avclub-29501df08e5d9ae59e432e4f188d3735:disqus  I would posit here that you are not a woman. Because being one in any large city involves a certain number of "really?! this guy?!" situations (in which the "really?!" is for a wide variety of reasons) that pop up in your life and can end any number of ways, including…

I'm on board with most of your points.

Ehh, because she's a non-skinny woman and it's usually not used for comic effect?

@avclub-eac75edc18b8546c46893fe4b75ab995:disqus Accidentally wrote this above, hated the outfit from the moment I saw it (also, I think, intentional on Dunham's part).

Dunham Nudity-dislikers! Lend me your ears!

I can't shake the feeling that some version of this, or at least the rant, was written in season 1. She could have easily said this to the pharmacist in Michigan, and it brought back a side of the character that I'm just not that fond of.

It's also something that gets played on acoustic guitars in living rooms where people drink wine out of mason jars. So definitely her wheelhouse.

Meh. Why do you necessarily need to be attracted to every naked person on television?

Yeah, but the actors in question are usually academy darlings (beloved, if not always winners) as actors, which Affleck is not.

oooh, something tells me that the Colonel has beard envy. No doubt, why he joined the military.

Oh come on! Leading On The Married Loser Jessa is way worse than

No way. You might dislike her the most, but Jessa can't be the worst person because there's no way that you don't know what you're getting with her, and we've never seen her use her wiles on anyone wasn't double or triple aware of what they were getting into. You can't say that of Hanna or Marnie, who have found new…
