Probably; it seems Jerry functions terrifically around his family and in the words of Ron "shrinks up like an eskimo's scrotum" when attention is focused on him. 

I go back and forth between thinking The Office peaked in season 2 or 3, but I agree season 2 was absolutely fantastic.  I liked season 3 more than a lot of people, but you can't really go wrong with either season in my opinion.  I agree with @disqus_okgItcD0yy:disqus that they are two different shows, and since they

Death Pocket!

Even better; that picture of Jerry eating cake, the same one she used to describe him as "slothily out of shape" always cracks me up. 

@avclub-32b63dd70d870580128d83e930199e1c:disqus I'm pretty sure Tom is doing something similar to Ann, splitting his time between the Parks Department and Rent A Swag, though this would be next to impossible in reality with a newly launched business. 

Absolutely the same for me.  I couldn't quite make out if that was Brandi Maxxxx on the cover of Chris' porn, I can only hope that it was.

I agree, and hope that the writers continue to give some more screen time to the man-eating force of awesomeness that is Donna Meagle.  She is hilarious and one of my favorite characters on the show.  Whether it is popping up at the cigar club or sidling in with popcorn while Chris and Ron conduct psychological

I love the fact that Gary/Jerry's scrapbook covering 40 years of work consisted of 4 pages, mostly consisting of pictures of him eating cake. 

Andy doing a naked cannonball into the lake was utterly hilarious and perfect for Andy's character.  I'm sure it was scripted but I could totally see Chris Pratt improvising something like that.

I liked how when they showed Jerry at home he deftly caught the coffee mug and wasn't a total clutz.  I also enjoyed Tom becoming the temporary new Jerry, failing to pass that title onto Andy because he is like a big shameless puppy. 

Why does everyone in this town still use Alta Vista, what is it 1997? 

"I'll eat what I'm going to eat, I'll live how I'm going to live, and I'll die the way I'm going to die." (paraphrasing)  This was the perfect line to sum up Ron and his character.  He's a no frills, no non-sense man who wants to live and die in his own way on his own terms with as little interference as possible. 

Ann is a successful dark-haired woman who on more than a few occasions has cooked pancakes.  Ron loves pretty dark-haired women and breakfast foods.  Definitely not as far fetched and ridiculous as her and Tom or her and the Douche. 

Toby is so much like Jerry on Parks & Rec, everyone detests them for no real reason whatsoever, and it is hilarious to me in both instances.

Oscar knew right away, before he was even hit on.  I remember Phyllis making a face that indicated she knew he was gay a few times when Angela was talking about him, so I'd be willing to bet others figured it out fairly quickly.

I always assumed that was an escort because of Kevin's laughing reaction to Toby's explanation of where he met her.  Likely she ended up one of the Scranton Strangler's many victims, along with Jordan and the guy who played Geary on Prison Break who used to work in the warehouse. 

"Toby Flenderson is everything that is wrong with the paper industry."

Creed has a lot of experience in cults, both as a leader and as a follower.  Perhaps he can start a cult and lead everyone to commit mass suicide, while craftily switching his cyanide laced kool-aid out at the last moment for Hawaiian Punch. 

Was there any mention of why he wasn't with the group?  It seemed like they just ignored the fact that Pierce was nowhere to be found.

@avclub-c7684d43035cba8fe351d14a41209dc5:disqus Good call, that's immediately what I thought when Pelton put that puppet in front of Jeff.  I shudder to think what that little guy's been through.
