I don't understand how this episode has such a low rating, one of the lowest in the series. I guess it must stem from the fact that it is a "filler" episode or doesn't present anything new.
But this episode is full of pure heart. 6 seasons in, its great to look back on all the comedy and moments that made the show, right before the show began to slowly die out.
Seeing all the great parts is enough to bring a tear to your eyes. Personally, I was balling. It was refreshing, rewarding, and truly beautiful.

What people lose sight of is that The Office was made before Netflix streaming was invented, so episodes like these were a great opportunity for viewers at that time to look back and appreciate the series. People who binge-watch it in one week over Netflix don't get it.
Worst episode of this season and maybe of this entire TV series? Like, what's the point to fill 50 or 60% this episode time with old clips, that just seems like lazy writing, sorry.
This isn't the episode of The Office that you would recommend to a friend who hasn't seen the show, but its one that if you have been following the show, should be well received. As many of you, I have felt a little disappointed in what The Office has given us in the last couple of seasons. This episode rekindled the memories of how great to us it was when it was at its best, with Dwight and Jim still having a rivalry, Pam and Jim still having a connection we can all relate to, and the rest of the workers being individuals rather than fill ins for the show. While it was hard to swallow that the show isn't what it used to be, it brought hope that it isn't entirely lost. I hope they wrap up what has been a sub-par season six on a high note, and end the show like it started rather than where it is now.
If I wanted to watch a sum of clips for a bunch of laughs I'd just watch a YouTube edit of it that has better. This is just lazy I thought it was funny when he asks him the first question and it showed some flashbacks... that would have been fine but the movie goes back into the plot and then goes back yet again in the flashbacks and then vice versa rinse wash repeat. We don't need to rewatch what we already know. This is probably the worst episode I've ever seen in the office of all the episodes.

- TriviaDuring 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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
