Traveling Salesmen (#3.12)
ComedyFan20101 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Sales people go on selling trips. And Dwight gets into trouble.

Fun episode. I loved the pairings for travelling. Ryan being chosen by Stanley was a fun moment. Phyllis and Karen getting their haircuts. Andy trying to make Dwight look bad and unfortunately succeeding. I am not sure why Angela would be worried Michael finds out it is for her, Michael is not a strict boss, more like a silly one, she wouldn't be in trouble. Dwight leaving makes one more interested in the next episode. And him hugging Jim at the end was just sweet.

Excellent episode, adds some spicy to this season which was already really good. I liked this episode and how far Dwight can go and do for love, that's pretty adorable.

I can't stand Andy
HaveYouEverNoticed4 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I just can't get into the Andy character. He is a supreme jackass. He brings down the entire flow of the show, and I find myself trying to pass up any scene that he is in. Dwight may have been annoying, but it was in a funny way. Andy is just terrible. I was hoping that when they closed the Stamford branch, he was not going to be shown anymore. I just don't like him.

Ed Helms is the worst addition to an amazing show!
Danes7814 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed this episode a lot. I liked seeing the sales call interactions between the characters who don't often spend much screen time with one another, like Karen and Phyllis, and Ryan and Stanley. I also really like seeing Angela in such a great mood. The only issue I have with this episode is the underhanded and backstabbing way in which Andy maligns Dwight to Michael throughout the entire show. I don't enjoy Ed Helms as an actor and when he was in a few episodes in Stamford I hoped I could ignore him until his character was written out. Unfortunately, he has been added to the core group now and I find him to be a distasteful and unwanted addition. He really does ruin every scene he's in. Though I've watched the entire series from beginning to end several times, this episode always serves as a reminder why I strongly dislike the Andy character and Ed Helms in general. Although I suppose it did serve as a reminder to why I find Dwight so endearing. Sacrificing his career to protect Angela and hugging Jim goodbye. He can be so caring and sweet!

Going Out For Sales
vivianla14 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Michael brings Jim and Pam in to hear his "robotic" computer.

Michael gets the sales team together and they pair off to go out for sales. Michael calls Phillis their senior resident and she replies they are the same age.

Dwight and Jim go together and they previously have done sales together. They do their skit with their potential buyer where Dwight asks to use their phone and shows how large companies don't reply right away.

Phillis and the Italian girl go for their sale together. Phillis chose her when they were picking partners. She gets them makeovers at a salon and it looks too much. However when meeting their potential buyer Phillis asks about his wife who sports the exact same type of look. Phillis looks at the camera and smiles. The man thanks them for the sale.

Stanley picks the kid and Ryan offers to take the lead. Stanley does a crossword puzzle as Ryan tries to spit out his pitch.

Michael calls Jan to ask if Dwight checked in to head office. Dwight is confronted by Michael by his absence this morning as Michael was told of the ticket showing he left for NYC. Dwight quits his job and Pam looks at Angela.

icky andy
abirdnamedloveydovey29 August 2021
I don't understand how the show people couldn't see andy is a terrible character. This ep gets an 8 because i liked the interactions between all the other characters. I remember when the show was airing thinking they'll be writing this guy out soon. Loved angela's flower bun!

Andy is such a bad character
SHU_Movies6 February 2021
There are so many things I want to say about Andy, but for the sake of not risking this review being taken-down, I'm not going to say it

Krua Thai

When Stanley and Ryan are driving back from their sales call I can see them driving past Krua Thai, a Thai restaurant on Sherman Way in North Hollywood CA in the San Fernando Valley where the Office was filmed.
