Summary courtesy of NBC:
THE SALESMAN IS KING—ZACH WOODS (“THE HONKYS”) GUEST STARS— When the sales staff lets Sabre's new "sales is king" policy get to their heads, Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) hides their new, prized leads. Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Phyllis Smith, Oscar Nunez, Creed Bratton, Paul Lieberstein, B.J. Novak and Craig Robinson also star.
Is Michael going to have a sales contest and give a set of steak knives to whoever comes in second?
The summary is boring, so I'm just going to have to wait until the episode airs.
AMJ, Michael is hiding the leads because they're the Glenn Gary leads. And to give them to Phyllis would just be throwing them away.
You see this watch? You see this watch? That watch costs more than your car.
I don't care if the past few episodes have been hit and mostly miss. I'm still looking forward to the show tonight.
You know what's sad? I remembered that there is a new episode of The Real Housewives of New York City on tonight and forgot all about The Office.
And I'm not even sure the Housewives are on tonight.

They are. It's cool.

Oh wait you said babes not babies. Never mind.
I liked it, for the most part. Disappointed that there were no Glengarry Glenn Ross jokes, but the Dwight and Michael stuff was funny, as was the sales staff acting like asses. Also, Toby. Toby rocks.
Good episode. I liked that the characters all had enough time, and it wasn't the Andy/Erin episode like many this season. Although, if you haven't seen it, there is a couple of moments of Erin/Andy.
Liked that Dwight and Michael are back, and I agree Toby was awesome.
Also, Angela/Phyllis! This episode brought back a lot from the earlier seasons. It's probably a great episode, just didn't pick up everything.
I could have done without the Andy/Erin tag, but their warmer/colder game was fairly amusing for the look on Andy's face. It looks like Sabre is fairly successful and it appears to be rubbing off on what used to be a rather large pack of slackers.
Still not enough Pam.
Blech. This made me like old episodes less. I think it even made me like pizza and my dog less too.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!! OMG!!!! They kissed!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was a pretty good episode, primarily because, as the Goose mentioned, all the characters got involved and there was a lot of interaction among them. Andy & Darryl's wrestling match got the biggest laugh. I did think the Michael & Dwight scene could have been better, I really liked where it was going with the talk about how much Dwight has changed and was disappointed that it disintegrated into them throwing trash at each other. Plus the obvious green screen was distracting. Phyllis brought up a good point that all the non-sales job could be done in India. Perhaps a setup for a plot line down the road? Easy money for Jenna the last couple weeks.
Phyllis and Michael had good lines. "Give us the leads, numnuts," came out of nowhere, and occasionally a Phyllis line is funny.
Also, "the man who never breeds," clue was one of the funniest moments in a while and Michael thinking that Lincoln was the first president was great, too.
The green screen use was really bad, though.
Also, Pam knowing exactly what Michael meant and the Kelly-Jim-Oscar scene were really funny. The rest, not so good.
But better than 30 Rock is right now.

This.
Whaddaya mean? Just read the top of the thread.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!! OMG!!!! They kissed!!!!!!!!!
I know! Totally Team Hamnard!!11!!!11!1!
The bit where Oscar wanted to see the picture of the baby and Kelly stopped him was funny. It was all in the facial expressions.

This. I rarely comment on episodes, but I was just absolutely blah after this one.
Sorry.
This episode was really...weird. It had a surreal feel to it, like it was a dream sequence or something. It wasn't particularly funny, but also wasn't offensively unfunny like some of the recent episodes. Just neutral, with lots of drama, a lot of which was well done.
There were a few things I absolutely hated:
But I also loved:
Overall though, the episode wasn't that memorable. I hope Pam comes back soon.
Friday morning and not even an entire page of posts? Wow.
I liked most of it, but hated that Dwight jumped in the dumpster. Head first. Like he couldn't tell it was empty before he jumped in. Right.
