    "Good"

    A good episode, no one really stole the show here though, I guess the women at the mall was a highlight. Michael demeaning women was quite hilarious and Dwight with his sexual predator lookout, and him not noticing that the guy that Pam drew as the sexual predator was Dwight was absolutely hilarious.

    Angela was probably the funniest out of all the girls, her being uptight and cold was hysterical, I also loved all the references to her being a small person, Meredith driving was also another funny thing. The men in the girls bathroom wasn't very entertaining, and I think they were the weak link here.

    I think the most memorable thing about this episode though was Michael breaking up with Jan via voice mail and Jan hearing it for the first time with Michael in his office, such a great scene. Other than that, nothing much happened, just an episode for laughs.moreless

    i don't know about anyone else, but i thought the opening scene was hilarious. when micheal found out that phyliss(i think that's how you spell it) got flashed his reaction made me laugh. "wait, i'm sorry phyliss?" *snorts* "i mean has he seen pam or karen from behind?" haha and when he did that finger thing as his P(i don't know if they block that word out on here), jim's expression was priceless. They also did a great job potraying jim as, well, our classic jim. You would know what i mean if you watch this episode. It definetly will keep you entertained for a half hour.moreless

    I thought this episode would be a filler from the title and synopsis, but it turned out to be one of the funniest episodes I've seen in this series. Dwight and the flasher ordeal was executed flawlessly, with Pam screwing with Dwight's head in one of the funniest ways we've seen. A Jim/Dwight intro to the show is always welcome, as them two have some of the best on screen chemistry in the show.

    Micheal comes clean about Jan, and shows that there is more to him afterall, further developing his character. Yes, he's still a moron, but a moron who doesn't like to wear the dress when role playing. Jan's feature on the show was hilarious, with Mike breaking up with her on voicemail, then agreeing to go out for dinner before Jan hears the voicemail and storms out of the office. The roller coaster ride that is them continues.

    Pam/Karen/Jim's love triangle continues to develop, and viewers can only be left to wonder what will actually pan out. Both girls are nice and seem great fits for Jim, so it will lead for an intense conclusion. Overall, I laughed so hard in this episode, I downloaded it to watch it again. Stanley in the woman's bathroom was more than enough for me to watch this episode again.moreless

    Here's another great office episode for you, Phyllis gets flashed, Michael Laughs at it, Calls Pam fat, breaks up with Jan, takes the office women to victoria's secret, and we find out, Michael can't even change a flat tire. And the saddest part of them all...Michael is the woman in their relationship. I mean come on -- Jan likes to videotape them doing it and play it back for her therapist? How messed up is that? And Michael likes to do the kissing and cuddling?! This has got to be the most messed up relationship on television, and possibly the most hilarious.moreless

    I loved the play of Michael as a big chick in an abusive relationship he can't get out of. I really loved the H.R. nightmare of Michael putting his finger out his fly. The men in the ladies room. There were great lines. "If that is flashing..." "No that is the ladies locker room, and usually there is women in it" "I pay dearly for it" "She has a fantasy of dressing up like a school girl...I hate skirt...her showing her therapist" How could not like this episode. Angela's creepy doll clothes or Michael not being able to change I tire or Dwight putting his own picture up. The show is one of two shows I watch. No I don't care about the British version (I guess I am not clever enough to get it or I am a cultural relativist, but I love this show). Lastly, wow cares about character development. It is a spoof comedy. They talk to the camera. I always loved the "70s Show" for the same reason I love "The Office." It is a fake, insane and funny escape. I can't find many other comedies or dramas that do this for me.moreless

    • We learn Meredith drives a Ford Aerostar with the license plate number CHT8635. Edit
    • Angela claims that due to her petite stature, she's "forced to go to the American Girl store. And order clothes for large colonial dolls." The American Girl colonial dolls are only 18 inches tall, so it is unlikely that Angela would fit into the doll clothing. There are, however, matching outfits available. Edit

    • Michael: You don't want anything? My treat. Some panties or…pick a thong or…G-string. T-back. Get a nice bra. Padded bra. See-through, push-up, lace? Thigh-high? Bustier? Any, it just, you know what, I would love to buy you a fresh set of underwear. Edit

    • Michael says "No Michael, Respect, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me". Aretha Franklin sang a song called "Respect" in which she sang those words. Edit
    • Michael claims, "I threw a coin in for every woman in the world. And made a wish. I wished for Jan to get over me. I wished for Phyllis a plasma TV. I wished for Pam to gain courage. I wished for Angela a heart and for Kelly a brain." This is a reference to Dorothy's companions from The Wizard Of Oz: the Cowardly Lion, who wished for courage; the Scarecrow who wished for brains; and the Tin Woodman who wished for a heart. Edit
