"Jean Ralphio!"  "Yes?!"  "Dance up on me!"

Agree, @avclub-ee4fadf37efceab02df97947e8d240a6:disqus when Ryan started wearing his glasses, "working" out of the closet in the office with no real job, and saying super douchey things it really dragged the show down for me.  This coincided with Dwight's morphing into an inhuman ass, the introduction of Poochie…

Ah, I realize what you were saying now @avclub-da518aecddbf5c94588f53562012c452:disqus .  That is why I shouldn't comment when I'm falling asleep.  I like safety training and think it is a really good episode, but I wouldn't put it in my top 10.  Of course, the top 30 Office episodes are still golden television…

Both terrific, and I think they both closed out the last few episodes of the series with similarly terrific performances, Fischer especially. 

I agree Safety Training isn't on par with the Dundees, but it still delivers some solid laughs.  "Dwight you ignorant slut!" and Pudge/Madge are quite humorous moments for me along with Dwight and Andy's interaction.  "Do you want a drawbridge?"  "Un-shun!  Yeah, that sounds good."

Also, Happy birthday to David Brent!  

Roy's sweater when Pam's mom comes in to visit was absolutely horrendous, and seeing Jim about to go up to talk to Pam and her mom before he comes in is a great moment.  I've been in a similar situation and it was portrayed perfectly by Krasinski.  

Ryan's transformation was at least more gradual than Kelly's.  I'm like Jim, I liked him as the temp for the most part, but he got steadily more douchey as the episodes went on.  It is a bit jarring though to watch the early episodes with the image of what these characters became later fresh in your mind.

And funny that the info came from Toby, probably the most hapless person in the office in terms of love with the possible exception of Kevin.  Although come to think of it, Kevin had a fiance and a girlfriend later, compared to Toby's ex-wife and possible prostitute he brought to the wedding of Phyllis and Bob Vance,…

"I'm just sad the public school system failed him so badly" is one of my favorite Toby lines ever.  Dwight wanted to go into more depth but Toby cut him off, saying he needed to get back to work.  I wonder what else he wanted to ask Toby about.

Aye, until season 8 when we got an unwanted heaping helping of Todd F. Packer.  I didn't mind him so much in the early years because he wasn't on too often.  The dundies is one of the all time great episodes in my opinion, there were so many great moments and quotes.  "Bushiest Beaver" and "Spicy Curry" awards to…

Sing it Elton!

I do agree with that, with the possible exception of Oscar.  I feel like we got a good look at Oscar's life outside of Dunder Mifflin and got a good deal more content on him versus some of the other secondary cast like Creed, Meredith, and even Kevin.  Kevin looked like he was going to be an interesting character at…

Fair enough, @avclub-b22b95593e42f8875155a84dc8a8ab75:disqus .  Packer is no reason to put a damper on an episode I thoroughly enjoyed, so I shan't let it bother me.  This episode also made me realize that when Dwight turned on Michael right before his exit and was being a total ass, he did have justifiable cause. …

I got a good scolding for wearing my dad's "Disco sucks" t-shirt to school, both from my mom and the principal.  I had no idea people felt so strongly about that word until then.  I stand by the shirt though, disco does in fact suck. 

No matter what her look, she's leagues more attractive than Dawn.  But yes, when they started styling her hair differently she really popped on camera and was more than just pretty. 

Phew, that is…that is pungent.

Maybe he insisted on being skins, or refused to pass the ball to Michael which caused him to be shunned.  In any event, I can't see Packer playing basketball or any sport, let alone being any good at it.  Packer looks more like a backup linebacker or defensive end to me.

A-W-E!  S-O-M-E!  Awesome, awesome is what we are! 

Toby is divorced.  And he has a kid.  It was pretty messy… you, slept in your car one night, didn't you?  Oh Michael, such unbridled and warrant-less hatred for one Toby Flenderson.
