    This one so far is the best episode of this season and maybe one of the best episode of this TV show so far. This legend meme "that's what she said", damm, it's just iconic. Whole episode was inappropriate and I'm not even sure if they could've made something like this now. Because everyone is snowflake somehow atm.

    Sexual harassment is no laughing matter.

    Sexual harassment is very serious and it shouldn't be taken lightly. In my past memories of the workplace, I've never been accused of sexual harassment and no one ever has sexually harassed me. As for this episode, I give it a big rating but I don't find it amusing.

    Michael is just as corporate as Toby

    Michael says "Toby is HR and he works for corporate." But Michael is a branch manager and thus also works for corporate. And also Michael's irrational grudge against Toby is never explained over the course of the entire series.

    That's what she said

    The start of the iconic catchphrase and a changing point for Michael, a good amount of humour and cringe, and more Jim and Pam- but not a memorable episode.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The debut of Michael's infamous "that's what she said" joke.
    • Goofs
      When Michael states that the office is Friends, he says that Dwight is like Kramer. Kramer is one of the main characters on the 90's sitcom Seinfeld (1989). He probably meant Gunther (a character from Friends).
    • Quotes

      Michael Scott: Attention, everyone. Hello. Yes, I just want you to know that, this is not my decision, but from here on out, we can no longer be friends. And when we talk about things here, we must only discuss work-associated things. And you can consider this my retirement from comedy. And in the future, if I want to say something funny, or witty, or do an impression, I will no longer ever do any of those things.

      Jim Halpert: Does that include "that's what she said"?

      Michael Scott: Mhmm. Yes.

      Jim Halpert: Wow, that is really hard. You really think you can go all day long? Well, you always left me satisfied and smiling, so...

      Michael Scott: That's what she said!
