I hated this episode

Yes, the Michael &amp; Holly stuff was good and it moved their story along really well by underscoring how much they really are a match. They showed this well by taking it beyond their silly jokes and voices and showed that, even in silence and separation, they&apos;re on the same page.

But I cant get past how obnoxious ALL of the office people are in this episode. The show is best when you feel like a part of this family of loveable oddballs and root for them, and celebrate with them, and even hurt when they do. This mean crap they do to Gabe for no reason is not Office level humor. It&apos;s not creative or clever, it&apos;s not what makes the show special, and I&apos;d daresay it feels like something from a CBS laughtrack sitcom like Big Bang Theory or something. Pointlessly insulting someone for kicks is uninspired humor.

Unfortunately, this became a staple of the show for the season, and it made me hate the characters at times, which is another problem with this writing, because it makes the characters seem a bit schizophrenic. Loveable and sympathetic one moment, obnoxious and mean the next.

I love this show and have watched it through many times, but these types of elements just dont age well at all.
