The Office: Angry Andy (2012)
Misrepresentation of comedy
Every single persona in this episode is acting out of character and as a mindless dummy. Character development and established qualities are traded of for silly attempts to make the audience laugh. Reality check, people acting dumb is not comedy, it's ridiculousness. This episode mocks everything that made The Office popular in the first place (witty humour and likeable characters). Nellie Bertram is without a doubt the worse thing that has happened to the series. It's so obvious that the creators are trying to recreate Michael Scott and I think It's very insulting to Steve Carrell's phenomenal performance and legendary character. Instead they should've tried something fresh. And as a matter of fact they did, for a time. Robert Califonia's presence is very well felt and entertaining in most scenes, but in this episode he's acting like a total fool. Kelly picking Ryan over Mary Sue is presented with no rational decision and made only to have some cheap laughs. Andy breaking the wall is clear spit in the face of his character development. It is common agreement that Ed Helms' character was unbearable in the early seasons, but the creators did a 180 on him. Often his absence as part of anger management is viewed as his cathartic recreation of the character. Now he breaks a wall again, for no reason what so ever, except - cheap laughs. The press conference meeting talking about erectile dysfunction was more cringy than funny.
We all know that The Office was declining in quality after Steve Carrell's departure. And that is normal, he played vital part to the show's success. Still the show was pretty decent for the most part. And somehow, they managed to really drop the ball last 3 episodes

The Best of...
Nothing new to see here. But if you need a reminder why you fell in love with this show it'll be a breath of fresh air to enjoy some laughs on your favourite The Office moments so far. But if you binged the show hard up until this point, like I did, those scenes would have not faded out enough so you can enjoy them yet again.
