This episode was on Comedy Central last night. I don't think it's the greatest episode of all time, but the sheer number of things in it is pretty amazing. Consider:
Cold open where Jim impersonates Dwight, complete with "What kind of bear is best?" and the immortal "Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica (which I have as a T-shirt).
The watermark drawing of "Donald Duck" banging "Mickey Mouse"
Creed laments that he's supposed to do 4 hours of QA a week at the paper mill, and the one year he blows it off, this happens.
Kelly's reaction to hearing she's going to be training Oscar, Kevin, and Angela, and her and Kevin's ensuing British and Australian accents.
Creed going into damage control, calling the mill to see who was absent the previous week and pinning the entire situation on that person, ending with him buying a card for her when she gets fired, having everyone contribute money to the card, then trashing the card and keeping the money.
Michael's proposed headline for the story that the Scranton paper will do on his press conference: Scranton Area Paper Company, Dunder Mifflin, Apologizes to Valued Client; Some Companies Still Know How Business is Done."
The reporter from the paper gets a Level 3 security badge from Dwight, who tells him don't be too excited because there are 20 security levels.
Dwight tells the angry customer who is disgusted by the watermark that the sex appeared to be consensual because both animals were smiling.
Michael's apology video ends with an ultimatum
Andy and Jim with the school principal:
Principal:
The issue with the watermark is very serious.
Jim Halpert:
Absolutely.
Principal:
We teach our students that character counts.
Jim Halpert:
And you should--
Andy:
Pfft. You don't teach it well enough. One of your students is a *****.
Michael invoking the term "Threat Level Midnight" for the first time.
Dwight's closing impersonation of Jim.
Karen:
Hey, Dwight. Lookin' sharp.
Dwight Schrute:
Yeah that's because I'm your boyfriend Jim Halpert. Hey Karen, wanna get together later and sexual intercourse 'cuz you're my girlfriend.
Dwight Schrute:
I'm Jim Halpert.
Jim Halpert:
Spot on.
Dwight Schrute:
