The Office (TV Series) Mafia (2009) User Reviews

Mafia (#6.6)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 15 January 2019]

An insurance salesman comes by and Dwight thinks it is mafia.

Now that Jim and Pam are on honeymoon there is nobody to stop the crazy. Oscar alone isn't enough. The whole mafia paranoia was great. I loved all three of them dealing with it. Andy dressed up as a mechanic was wonderful. And how they told Michael that it wasn't mafia and then told him it was so they all thought he defeated mafia. Priceless.

[Edvis-1997 · 8/10 · 13 November 2021]

I wouldn't agree with this 7.6 IMDB. I'm convinced that this deserves at least 8/10. It had creative idea, plot wasn't hard too fallow and it finished with cringe. Just delightful.

The Office 'Mafia' Review

[maine_310 · 7/10 · 22 October 2009]

It wasn't really established whether or not the insurance agent was 'mafia' or not. He actually seemed like an insurance agent, because when it comes to Dwight, Michael and Andy, they usually can blow a simple solution out of proportion. The one thing we as people learn over the years is that you don't mess with a newlywed couple on their honeymoon, no matter how dire the situation is. I am sure Jim and Pam were well aware that Michael would find a way to interrupt their time away, I think Jim dealt with it the best. Usually when you are trying to cut someone off you pretend as though you are breaking up. A little harsh, but calling someone to talk about the mafia while you are on your honeymoon, I would just hang up. Knowing Michael would probably keep calling for sport, so it's always best to just keep the conversation short and stop it from ever happening again. I couldn't believe it when Oscar called Jim, I didn't know he relied on him for office advice so profoundly. So when Michael actually got intimidated into signing the insurance policy and then backing out when he believed he wasn't Mafia, I kept wondering why he didn't fear for his life upon the surface of Dwight and Andy's lie. It's funny how low they perceive Michael. I probably know what Michael thinks of both Andy and Dwight. Jim, next time do not leave your social security lying around, the person that steals your identity could very well be your best friend, or at least someone you know. Now that the honeymoon is over, what's up for the Newly Weds and gosh how would their baby fit into the office lifestyle? Three and A Half Stars Grade B-

Still Laughing the Next Day

[nbrice18 · 10/10 · 20 September 2021]

I'm watching from the beginning for the first time, and Mafia is the only episode that made me literally laugh out loud. I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes, and I'm still laughing today.

I'm a fan of the Sopranos and other Mafia shows, Mafia movies, and Mafia books so I instantly said to my husband that Mr Grotii looked and sounded like he was in the mob. Dwight and Andy were so funny as straight men and as another reviewer said, Michael is funny when he's not trying to be.

The scene in the restaurant was the icing on the cake and every time I think about Michael ordering "gabbagool" (the way Tony Soprano pronounced capicola) I crack up.

Kevin and Oscar were great too. Outstanding episode!

Loved it.

[bastiaanzijlstra · 10/10 · 10 January 2022]

Not sure what's wrong with me (compared to other opinions about this episode), but I just totally loved this one. Tears in my eyes from laughter on Kevin in his private office, and Andy, Dwight and Michael and the mobster. The fact that I believe he is a mobster, doesn't say anything.

Not Bad!!

[annamp-89146 · 7/10 · 1 April 2021]

I actually enjoyed the show. The only time Steve is funny is when he is not trying to be funny. This story line suited him.

WHO ARE THESE IDIOTS?

[cervantes-4 · 8/10 · 22 November 2022]

For those giving a rating of 1, or 2, or even 4 to this episode is totally unconscionable. Many people check out these critiques and skip those episodes with poor, or poorer, evaluations than for others. This episode maintains the wonderful quality of the series and is enjoyable at every level of writing and performance; ie., it is completely underserving of such low (bogus?) scores. Are these low raters just oddballs with the proverbial 'only taste is in their mouths'? Are they the nuts who routinely give scores at the bottom FOR EVERY EPISODE but reveal themselves when they believe they have found a weak sister fallen down and can now kick her in the head?

Good enough

[Faristuta · 7/10 · 17 September 2018]

The main story about the Mafia was very silly. What made this one stand out was the minor characters especially Kevin- strong jokes there.

Boring, silly episode

[drewstewartcola · 2/10 · 18 October 2018]

We're used to the whole paranoid, Dwight thing, but this just isn't funny, it was clear from the start even with Mike Grotti in his typical stereotypical Italian Thug fashion, it wasn't funny at all. It was just boring.

Jesus

[jjblue202067 · 1/10 · 23 March 2020]

Did a 9 year old write this episode?! it's like watching a different show, what hell were they thinking when they wrote this

Content lost

[monixeded · 1/10 · 19 March 2019]

I'm a bag fan of the office, have watched it over atleast 5+ times

Let me just start by saying this is the monkey wrench in the 6th season, every episode wether irrelevant or direct to the narrative has some underlying dictation to the outlying plot, it's like the writers hit brain freeze without Jim & Pam

This plot maybe would of worked in season 2, when characters where still building their portfolios but this is such a big miss, like seriously Dwight thinking the mob is shaking down Dunder Mifflin and him being a former "Volunteer Sheriff" taking that it contradicts his character values absolutely

I could go on but I love this show, and should someone read this review that hasn't watched the show, I wouldn't want to defer their judgement from an anomaly review, that being said this episode is the only sub-par one in all of 6, I really can't fault the writers their after but seriously people that review plots really should of reviewed this over

Silly plot, not the office

[jakoulecroustillant · 1/10 · 3 March 2021]

From season 6 the show is falling apart, this episode is one of the dummiest content ever, who would believe that story to be true, seriously...

Insurance Agent

[vivianla · 5 January 2021]

A Southern Italian insurance agent comes in and Andy and Dwight immediately assume he might be in the mafia. His name is Angelo Grotti and is tough. He tells the waitress his order and that he will send it back if it is not what he wants.

Kevin uses Jim's office and picks up a call. Kevin accidentally cancels Jim's credit card. Another hilarious scene is when asking Oscar about it and Oscar said this is identity fraud, Kevin says he cannot last in jail like Oscar can. Oscar asks what does that mean?
