The Negotiation (#3.18)
ComedyFan20102 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Dwight saves Jim from Roy. Darryl asks for raise and turns out Michael doesn't even make as much.

Oh god, Michael with his business techniques! And wearing a women power suit! And him threatening to withhold sex from Jan without a raise. It was all gold comedy.

And Dwight saving Jim also brought so much. Angela wanting to hear the story over and over again. Dwight telling us who the real heroes are. And it was also wonderful how Jim found a way to repay Dwight.

And there were also small things in between that were perfect. Like Toby feeling punished by Kelly and Ryan sitting together while the two were bickering.

This episode was just an amazing. One of the best so far not only in this season but in this whole TV series. I loved scene with pepper spray and when Michael dropped the bomb about sex, lmao.

FUNNIEST EPISODE SO FAR IMO
fran6d230 January 2022
I might have to add that i watched it stoned as balls, but thats how i frequently watch the office. This episode felt different. I found myself laughing hard at the gags all along the episode, and i do not usually laugh out loud. Hope you enjoy it as much as me!

Pam
HaveYouEverNoticed5 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I can't stand Pam right now. She knew EXACTLY how Roy would react when she told him about Jim. Right now, she is "in her feelings" and resentful of Jim because he's not her lost little puppy anymore. He told he how he felt, and she turned him down. What was he supposed to do, keep on pining for a woman who told him that she was marrying someone else? Now she sees that Jim is dating an attractive woman, and she's jealous. It's a dang shame.

Pepper Spray and Pay Raise
vivianla19 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Pam's ex comes in ready to hit Jim but Dwight saves him by spraying pepper spray.

Darryl looks at Michael's pay check and laughs because he has been working there for 17 years but never asked for a raise. Darryl crosses his arms and is present as Michael calls Jan about it. Darryl knows he cannot get a ten percent raise because it would be more than what the boss is making.

Toby has cute photos of his daughter.

Michael tries to negotiate using personal reasons saying no more sex if she does not give him the raise.

Ryan and Kelly make out next to Toby's office. Toby wonders if this was a punishment.

Angela and Dwight kiss in the office and Jim walks out of the washroom witnessing the scene.

Andy Bernard is poison
dickhill-inc25 November 2023
I really liked this episode. It was great but it was torpedoed at the end with the return of Andy. I wish I could pepper spray this character.

I hate Andy Bernard. He ruins every scene and makes every episode he is in worse. I love the office but if Andy Bernard just ceased to exist as a character the whole series would be improved a thousand fold. Goddamn banjos and singing and just all around irritating garbage. Name something Andy Bernard has done that is funny or has made any episode better. Not possible. He's the worst. I'd rather eat a thousand nickels than watch Ed helms ruin another office episode. It's almost like an unnecessary surgery that I'm forced to watch being performed. Andy Bernard is both the rusty scalpel cutting me open and the junior mint giving me sepsis. I hate you, Andy.

How to deal with workplace violence.
alanbourbeau2417 June 2020
Violence in the workplace can be unpleasant, overwhelming, and frightening. I remember last year, I was on Facebook messenger and was trying to speak to a former employee i knew from work and he wasn't in a good mood at all. He planned on coming to his former workplace and was about to do physical violence towards me. But sure enough, he never did. Afterwards, I felt relieved.

Slight dip in quality
altbrz28 October 2018
While the end of season 3 (and really season 3 in general) is very good, this episode was a bit of a let down. It's just kind of boring. Not that it's bad, it's just doesn't hold up to most other episodes in season 3.
