Not a bad episode. Creed was fantastic. It was good to see his character used but not overused. The cameos didn't work out so well.

The previous episode was so good that it did feel like a bit of a let down of an episode.

Huge letdown, besides Creed.

I thought it was a funny episode. Andy's button was hilarious.

Yes I know. The Dwight/Gareth role is the straight man in the show.

Wikipedia says differently.

Jim is the straight foil/man, whereas Dwight is the comic foil.

I wish Jim Carey would be the new manager. He's hilarious, sadly he's too big for the show and his character was a weirdo. He'd be perfect though in my opinion.

When the show ended I was sitting there going, "wait, isn't this the finale?" I mean, there wasn't any resolution, OR a cliffhanger, so it just felt like another week's episode. Tune in next week to see how they pick a manager, except next week is next fall. Other than what I felt was an abrupt ending, I thought the episode was pretty good. I liked Creed's plans for his own paper company.

Also, I think Jim will of course be the new boss, although a lot of characters seem more annoyed with him lately, and it seems like he would have to cut down on the pranks if he was Dwight's supervisor.

I disagree, Jim Carey the goaltender had his moments, but was nothing special.

Jim CarRey the comedian, is pretty cool though. (Not just picking on you, I've seen this 3 times this week...)

In all seriousness, the episode seemed to drag. I actually really liked James Spader, but the episode was slow just to get to a hook we all knew was coming.

Creed was fantastic.

This show jumped the shark a long time ago though. And that's probably part of why Steve left.

I really hope the new manager is either the crazy woman or Ricky Gervais.

Andy seems like he us written very simiarly to Michael's, so I think they could transition Andy into the manager role.

What was with Jim Carey? Did I fast forward through something? I just saw him at the end, and it was quirky, but not particularly funny.

I think you are right. Seem to be setting it up that way.

I keep wondering the same thing. He was on for about 20 seconds that I saw and it was funny enough, I guess, but not worth the attention he's getting in this thread IMO.

No you don't know what a straight man is.

James Spader was the highlight of that episode for me.

Will Arnett's plan was pretty funny.

Major let down with just a video clip of David Brent. I guess Gervais wasn't up for it. Spader was funny. Carrey was funny. I thought Kevin was really funny in this episode. Nothing on the horizon looks that interesting. Show needs a major shake up or just to be canceled. I wonder how ridiculous they can make it before I'll stop watching.

If Dwight wrapped up like a Mummy/burn victim is considered the straight man, than how can someone top him, and be the comic foil?

Finally checked out the episode yesterday, and it was okay I guess. Haven't really watched most of season 7, but I actually found the regular cast to be less funny than the guests in the finalie (Creed, Dwight, and Daryl aside). James Spader was easily the best part, but I did enjoy the other special guests (aside from Kathy Baker, and her "best friend").

Also I have always disliked Phyllis, but she was just plain irritating in that episode.
