The Sting (#7.5)

Michael gets a great new sales person.

This episode was alright. Not hilarious but funny. The thing with the Office is that even episode that are not too funny are better than in most other sitcoms. I liked how they tricked Danny with the Meredith interview. And omg, he is really so hot. Keep him, get rid of Packer.

Weak Late-season episode
michaelangellcanfield25 October 2018
This one and following with Danny character, are bad partly because his character is so pointless and unamusingly written. He's doesn't have the tics that make even the most peripheral Office characters seem funny and real. His purpose is to fill a 1-dimensional role of a smarmy, jerky guy. Boring. The songwriting storyline feels like a cloyingly upbeat way to root for Andy, Kevin, and Darryl, and flesh out their characters in a safely likeable way, while throwing in some obligatory Office quirk to make it seem like it's in keeping with the original feel of the show. At this point in the show, you're either ok with the show adapting to a new feel, or you're not (or you're unaware that it's even happened). I'm not ok with it in general. This episode is emblematic of the weaknesses of the last few seasons.

Danny Cordray, The Best Salesman

Warning: Spoilers
Jim and Dwight are out to do a sales pitch but sees Danny, one of the best salesmen out there. Jim calls Michael immediately for backup and help.

Michael tries his best to persuade the client but they walk out losing the sale.

Jim and Dwight plan a sting where they will watch on camera as Danny meets Meredith who is pretending to be a buyer to find out how he does his sales pitch. Danny comes in and Meredith cannot resist. She unbuttons her top and gives signals. Michael calls but she pushes him away. They send Oscar in to replace Meredith but Meredith calls him her cleaner who does not speak any English. Next they bring in Ryan who Meredith also says is a cleaner.

Michael bursts in and stops the mess. Danny is furious and leaves. Before leaving he knocks on the wall as Jim and Dwight are behind it. Michael goes after him and persuades him to join his team. This annoys Jim and Dwight.
