‘Let’s put a smile on that face’

Let's put a smile on that face

Overall last night’s episode of The Office was kind of lame, but the opening sequence was great. The characters on the show dressed up for Halloween, with Creed, Kevin and Dwight all showing up as The Joker. If you’d like to see it for yourself, you can check it out for free over on NBC.com.

That’s Creed up top; check out Kevin and Dwight after the jump …

I've been up since four!

    Yeah, that was definitely the best part of the episode but a “blah” ep of The Office is still better than most anything else on tv.

    Worst episode of the Office yet; but that scene was priceless.

    Was it just me, or was last night’s Dwight/Andy subplot a remake of a 30 Rock episode from last season?

    I agree that was an excellent sequence in an overall mediocre episode. Was quite surprised to see the “My name is Dave” tag magically disappear from Jim in the next sequence.

    I do love that the styles used by each person is pretty much reflective of their personality. Creed - extremely accurate and disturbing. Kevin - trying, but comes off more goofy than scary. Dwight - creepy, but obviously Dwight.

    Was that episode really that bad?

    I didn’t think so.
    It didn’t have a great “punchy end,” but was interesting and had enough laughs in it to sustain a quieter episode.

    “It’s pronounced Colonel, highest rank in the military.”
    I wish that there was Creed, though.

    Well, I haven’t been very pleased with the Office this season; with the exception of the very first episode, I don’t think any episodes have been that great. There have been some good moments in each of them (last night’s Halloween opener, Dwight’s watermelon baby, Dwight driving up the price for Phyllis’s hug, anything involving Daryl) but overall the larger storylines aren’t doing it for me.

    In particular, last night’s episode was kind of jarring … after the Halloween opener, it jumped to Dwight walking in in a Cornell shirt. I thought maybe he had changed his costume as a result of all the Jokers walking around, but come to find out it wasn’t even Halloween anymore. So that was kind of confusing; the transition wasn’t very smooth.

    Add to that the lameness of the Jim/Pam story and the quick wrap-up of the Michael/Holly relationship, and it was kind of disappointing.

    I think it could be fixed with more Creed, though.

    Loved the opener!

    Everything else… meh.

    Thought the same thing, but thought it was own fault for not paying enough attention or something; I feel better now knowing it wasn’t me.

    The Office wasn’t lame. YOU ARE LAME!!!!!

    It was weird seeing Dwight pull a “Jim” on Andy, but kinda funny. Pam needs to get back and Michael will be funnier now his female counterpart is gone.

    Now bring back Toby.

    I thought it was a pretty good episode personally.

    LIFE IS A HIIIIIGHWAY!

    The part when Holly starts crying and Michael Whispers “Did darryl touch you?” and darryl is obviously offended “WHAT?!”

    The new office have taken a step back.
