Happy Hour (#6.21)
ComedyFan201019 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Oscar organizes a happy hour to spend some time with Matt.

Great episode. Date Mike is hilarious. All his behavior that scared the poor woman off was fun to watch. And somehow he still managed to get a date! The rest were funny too. am so excited to see everyone again, Phyllis telling how Bob beats everyone up. Darryl telling Oscar to be straight with him. An episode with a lot of great things happening. I just don't like Pam's relative. She should go away, Dwight is Angela's!

Almost Flawless
kobedawson31 January 2022
Truly one of best episodes in Season 6, this episode really shows the audience why fans like me love this show. I laughed throughout the entire episode, every character played their part well and I was very satisfied by the end of this.

It was something that I could watch and enjoy seeing but for real I want and expect more. It was okay, don't get me wrong, but I've seen better episodes.

Probably the funniest office episode

Happy hour is what an office episode is. Michael goofing around while embarrassing himself on a date and Dwight's dilemma between isabell and Angela.

Dates During Happy Hour
vivianla9 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Oscar asks Darryl about setting up a happy hour after work. Darryl know it's because Oscar wants to speak with Matt more.

Kevin hilariously tries to make baby noises to get Pam's breasts to fill up with milk and for milk to spill out.

Michael acts more overly immature around Pam's friend after finding out that the Halperts hope they will hit it off. The manager at the bar comes over.

Later Michael approaches the manager at the bar and explains he is a manager himself and likes to be humorous. The manager ends up selecting his name out of the raffle jar and invites him to eat the free lunch with her.

Attempt to manipulate Michael Scott backfires
PWNYCNY15 November 2018
Great episode. Astute depiction of a man who refuses to be manipulated by others who want to take advantage of his good nature to make social points at his expense. Once Michael learns that he is on a date, he takes decisive action to discredit Pam and Jim, who did not inform Michael of their plan to hook him up with one of Pam's girl friends. This takes place at an office Happy Hour organized by one of the employees who wants to use the event to try to establish a gay connection with another employee. Office politics run rampant as everyone is using a social event to promote their personal, sand selfish, goals. All except Michael. This episode depicts the characters of the Office at their most ridiculous, except for Michael, whose acting out is a form of passive -aggressive behavior that completely thwart Pam and Jim's attempt to use Michael to score points at Michael's expense.. Instead of being open and honest with Michael, they give Michael cause to act out. In this respect, Pam and Jim totally misjudged Michael. Michael does not need their help to meet women nor did he ask for their help. Sadly, although a spoof, this episode, and the series in general, provide an accurate depiction of the more negative and reprehensible aspects of human nature.

I want to like this episode...
normalperson-9281023 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I want to like this episode but I have mixed feelings. I feel like in season 6 things are significantly more disjointed than in the first 5 seasons, in both the episode sequencing and writing.

First of all, why would Pam want to set up her seemingly chill and normal friend with Michael Scott? After everything she knows about Michael Scott? Seems out of character for her to do that.

Also, why does Jim randomly tell Michael that Pam set him and her friend up on a date? It was going so well before he said this. He should know better, and he does but the writers don't. This feels very out of character for Jim.

My last problem is that Oscar is the one who suggested the idea of going out for happy hour yet he is barely seen in this episode and nothing exciting happens to him. At the very end, his crush shows up and they shoot baskets and barely say anything.

It just feels somewhat forced and some characters just don't feel so much like themselves anymore.

Worst episode I've seen of this show up to series 7
chrisrowexxx9 August 2020
I've watched up to the end of series 7 over lockdown and this is by far the worst episode, the next one isn't great either, it seems they've made Erin and kevin into the standard American cartoon actors, where they're almost parodies of people. I knew Erin was kooky but over this and next episode any like or respect or interest in her completely dies, I assume they chose to as she's with the awful Ed helms and he needs someone on his level. Real shame I liked her, she was daft but then they ruined her.

Kevin is obviously an established character and he was always portrayed as bit out there or a bit slow, but ever since the episode where Holly was tricked into the joke that he's special needs they've almost just left him in that state, he used to crack jokes and say dumb stuff but not every word, he's not just an unbearable creepy looking guy screaming a Pam to get her to leak? That's not funny and the humours started drifting from bit out there to down right stupid. Really can't stand the guy anymore, his mannerisms voice and tone just makes me feel his mocking a stereotype and he's just dead as a character now.

But the real reason is what I call Joey stupid, in friends joey could get an acting role and remember a script but get confused over something a toddler would get, just forced stupid for the sake of it. They did this with Michael here, I felt a few too many times they took him out of realism to where no real company would keep him on but here it's just ridiculous, with a girl obviously going well then Jim tells him it's a date and the next few minutes just aren't funny or clever just a lot of bad character and character work that ruined this show for me for a while, even Pam lost her charm and Jim to, making her a mom who stands up for herself and Jim as a stressed but confident boss undid a bit of what I loved of them two. I also thought they are the most natural couple with excellent chemistry I've seen in a show and was disappointed how subpar the wedding was. Didn't do them any favours.

My only other three hates are Toby i liked the distant but efficient character but he's like a stupid zombie and just don't get it.

I knew he wrote some but that BJ Novak is damn awful, he isn't funny, really bad actor just the character with the least everything, fine write it but was so disappointed when they kept bringing him back in, Kelly deserved way better, he was a bad character and an awful actor.

Lastly Ed helms was a terrible cast, I know rashida didn't add much and think her dads connections gets her most roles but how Ed helms has had so many roles is beyond me, the guy is awful, he is the same in every film or show, can't act, has no range, isn't funny whatsoever, he can't act like a normal person, the whole way he speaks to just everything about him is ridiculous. I get trying to make a nice guy loser but he's not it. He is possibly the worst actor out there in comedy. Stole a living. Face you'd love to smack, voice that's awful, the clothes, just everything stunk

Why don't I have my own TV show!!

Warning: Spoilers
I don't know what to say!! Again, Steve Carell is not funny at all.

If Steve Carell is ad libbing, he should do a better job of preparing for the scene. Although, I do like the storyline with Dwight and his new girlfriend. I like the chemistry between the two.
