    Filler

    It's apparent that this episode didn't have much of a budget. The whole episode is a sequence of flashbacks to previous episodes with about 1% of new content, with even the new content not being that great. What was going on with Michael's wig? It was brown!

    You can safely skip this episode.

    Come on

    All the sitcoms got this kinda episodes, even more than once. Perfect to remind.

    A needed episode, but could have been done so much better.

    OK, so this episode deals with a banker from the company that is buying DM, coming to the Scranton branch to review some things. He begins to interview Toby, who answers his questions and-wh-WHAT?! Why are we being shown scenes from other episodes. Yes, my friends, this is a clip show, which is a staple of any good comedy show. Now, the major problem with this episode is not that it is a clip show, but the way they set it up.

    1. There is no transition between present day and the clips, which makes it confusing, because, for the most part, this is a show that takes place in ONE location. This means that we will see Toby and the banker in the annex, and then cut to something happening in the main office. But it's actually a flashback, and there is no way of telling.

    2. There were SOOOOOOOO many better ways to set this episode up. I mean, really, just through Toby's memories? Really? In fact, a much better way to set this up would be to actually acknowledge for once that there is supposed to be a camera crew filming their daily office lives. Maybe, we could actually see who is behind the camera, and they would show the characters a tape of some of the events that they have filmed, and we could see the characters reacting to it, which in my opinion would be hilarious.

    I love this show, but i consider this to be the worst episode of all time.

    Yup, it's a clip show...those meant something in those bygone days...

    Before binge watching, clip shows reminded us of why we loved the thing that drove us to our sets the same time every week. This clip show was actually well placed as the show as the Dunder Mifflin owned company transitions into its new Sabre world of wacky. So, the plot really doesn't move along...but relax, it picks up next episode!!!

    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.

    • Trivia
      During the flashbacks of past episodes, a clip of the hot dog eating contest from Beach Games (2007) is shown. Michael suggests dipping the hot dogs in the water "so it will slide down your gullet more easily", to which a small majority of the group replies "that's what she said." This clip was not a part of the original episode, but an outtake.
    • Goofs
      When Micheal is talking to the investment banker in his office, he pretends to take a call on his cellphone. When it cuts back to Michael, he's holding his office phone, and then it switches back to his cell phone when it cuts to him again.

      Eric Ward: You don't know?

      Toby Flenderson: I don't know.
