The Office (TV Series) Get the Girl (2012) User Reviews

Not as bad as people say

[hahn-15479 · 7/10 · 6 March 2023]

This episode really takes a lot of undeserved hate, mostly based off of where they know the storylines end up. I think if the series did not completely tank Andy's character later on, as well as his relationship with Erin, this episode would be remembered more fondly. Unfortunately, they did just that, so seeing the point that Erin and Andy finally get together just brings up bad memories of the disastrous future.

As far as Nellie goes...she's not great. But, again, I think people judge this episode as the turning point where Nellie becomes a main character. If we look at her just in this one episode, then, yeah, she's incredibly frustrating, but it doesn't turn the episode into a 1/10. She actually made me laugh in the final scene: "It's all just random!"

So, yes, this is the episode that heralds a dark future, but pretending we don't know that future, it's a solid 7/10.

Get the Girl (#8.19)

[ComedyFan2010 · 6/10 · 4 February 2019]

Andy goes to Florida to get Erin and Nellie takes his job.

Yeah I agree with other reviewers. Nellie is absolutely ruining it. The show was very high quality so it is not all the way down, but far down by it's standards. Nellie as the manager was the worst time in the office. I never liked her but she was kind of bearable in Florida. Now it is awful. Maybe the episodes where her story doesn't overshadow others will be alright. But this one wasn't even really funny. I have no idea why they decided to put her on the show.

Why is such a hated episode?

[huntfishski-14345 · 7/10 · 18 January 2021]

Honestly it isn't nearly as bad as most make it out to be. I'm not a fan of Nellie by any means either, but there were definitely plenty of good moments. I'm not saying this is the best episode either of course, but it seems like this episode just receives more hate than it deserves.

After finishing the show

[hotrobinproductions · 6/10 · 1 February 2022]

You realize how pointless this episode was. Their relationship literally goes nowhere and what they did to Andy's character for the "boat trip" was just so bad. Then when he comes back he's a complete annoying ass. Sure he has a heartfelt moment at the end when he leaves and does that song on his guitar but boy he's just a laughing stock and all this buildup for their relationship just goes nowhere... I heard the actress for Erin didn't like the idea of her and Andrew together but I don't get it. From the moment they first met they just clicked. Idk why the show ends their connection so weak. Then Plop some random new character that comes in the mix. Nobody cares about him... Clark Green has better growth and story than Plop. He's literally just there to filter in the annoying buildup from Andy and Erin's connection. If they wanted to end it this way I'm okay with it but it's how they went about it... it literally ends in a one note type of deal. Like Andy goes on a boat cruise and comes back a completely unlikable clown.

ANDY BERNARD

[samratsingraur · 9/10 · 2 November 2020]

One of the best character in this show is definitely Andy and it's funny how underrated this episode is. We got to see the love he has for Erin and the plot of him driving to Florida without any consent for his job just to get the love of his life, created a little romantic scenario which was quite fun to watch.

Nellie killed the office

[bvanoven-10737 · 2/10 · 6 April 2018]

Nellie... killed... theeee.... Office! Horrible....

Pointless in retrospect

[tobyalton18 · 3/10 · 14 April 2021]

So, we see Andy and Erin's relationship progress, fall apart, and repair. Later on, Andy neglects Erin and she develops feelings for New Jim in his absence. He leaves her for 3 months and barely communicates with her, now I know this was written in to give Erin something to do while Ed Helms was off filming the Hangover part 3, but this decision made the investment we have in this relationship so pointless and it is insulting. While watching this episode, initially it was fine. However, now I have absolutely zero interest in revisiting any of their storyline together. By far the worst part of the show.

nellie needs to go!

[katertator27 · 4/10 · 26 March 2018]

I keep wanting james spader to go away but instead we get nellie, the most obnoxious person in the world (and that says a lot for an office once with michael scott at the helm). the dynamic was fine but now we get this pushy broad and I want to stop watching because of her.

Worst episode of the show?

[hannahwoodson-66893 · 1/10 · 11 June 2018]

I think there's a pretty strong argument that this is the worst episode of The Office. It's not funny overall and it doesn't even have any funny moments. It's begins the reign of terror of Nellie, the worst part of the show. Overall, a perfect example of why Season 8 is awful. Thank God they fixed things for a passable Season 9.

Really?!?

[BoredNow33 · 1/10 · 29 April 2020]

This episode is so bad it makes me want to stop watching the show completely. Why would they bring on such horrible characters? Nellie is one of the absolute worst character in tv history. And to see she is on for the remaining episodes blows my mind! It better get less about this horrible woman and more about the characters we love quickly. Robert California was a horrible enough character as it was. Why ruin the show this way?

The tipping point

[vsghci · 3/10 · 6 April 2018]

People usually pinpoint a shows decline by season, but I can say this was the point where this show became unwatchable. It has been slowly going down with the departure of Carell. Strikes against: i)I hate Andy and from this point onward his character became more unbearable. He went from overly upbeat annoying WASP to complete douche from this point ii)Nellie as the center...no, just NO iii)painful plot...ok a lot of things are painful about the office. That cringe effect is part of the humor, but this was just plain horrible

Robert California is the crutch they've been using this season and he delivered again. All life is sex...what a delightful weirdo.

Worst episode of this entire series

[ashmerfarook · 1/10 · 16 November 2019]

It is the most boring and annoying episode I ever seen in this series and this new character Nellie is unbearable

Ugh-can't stand Nellie...

[beckyfox73 · 1/10 · 15 September 2018]

I hated her on Dr Who and I hate her on the Office. I can see why this is considered the start of the downfall of this series.

One part that just ruins the entire episode

[sdqftq · 2/10 · 28 August 2021]

Erin subplot was good and enjoyable, 6/10. But the Nellie subplot was god awful, 1/10. It's just that, nellies performance is Terrible, unfunny, and the character it's self is horrible. It's a bad episode, and sticks out like swore thumb in a pool of amazing episodes.

Wrong Turn

[manseetswaroop · 1/10 · 28 July 2020]

Things have taken quite a turn now in the series. It's inclined to the negative, i presume.

Why Why WHY?

[MaxAlshehri · 4/10 · 3 January 2021]

Now first of all you don't renew Steve's contract what resulted in him leaving the show so you basically got rid of your main character that's fine since you already have good characters but INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON DWIGHT OR ANY OTHER CHARACTER YOU CHOOSE TO BRING IN AN ANNOYING UNBEARABLE CHARACTER AND DRAG HER STORY MORE THAN IT SHOULD AND YOU MAKE HER CHARACTER THE MAIN FOCUS WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? Sorry for the rant I love this show and it's so sad how they are butchering it in the worst way possible.

Nelly is a character that should not be!

[serefcanberk · 1/10 · 10 March 2024]

Damn, Nelly is so annoying. The story and characters are greatly written is The Office. And the balance between annoyance and wholesome results are well adjusted, so that the tension you feel in your impression towards a character doesn't harm you emotionally. But Nelly is needlesly annoying. What kind of a plot is it to come in somebody else's office and just on his chair? Please!

Other than than, Erin and Andy plot is well enough. I am just a Nelly hater.

Also, I opened the account just to give this episode one star. Watched the episode by skippin forward. This is my third time of watching the series, but...

Catherine Tate looks like a literal witch, such a waste of a good show

[ansharora-12638 · 5/10 · 21 July 2020]

Jim sums it pretty clearly"What is going on"---- with the show? Catherine Tate originally and her character too is absymal. Her acting skills are equal to a kid throwing a fit in Walmart for a toy. WHAT IS GOING ON?

No mas

[markthespoon · 2/10 · 12 March 2021]

Andy and Nellie should get together and then drive off a cliff because the two of them are ruining this show

The Nadir of the Series

[msleeze · 3/10 · 5 December 2020]

It's the lowest rated episode here on IMDB and for good reason. The Erin-Andy half of the episode is decent enough (and features a nice guest turn from Georgia Engel) but as most other reviewers have already pointed out, Nellie Bertram (played by the insufferable Catherine Tate) is beyond repulsive. Shoehorning this awful character into a prominent position for the last season and a half was nothing short of disastrous. The beginning of the end.

Why?

[chiguy17 · 1/10 · 25 March 2019]

I'm sorry, but the British chick is just fugly, unlikeable, and completely unlikeable. As much as I've hated Dwight over the years, I just hate Nellie violently and with a passion. She looks like a drag queen without the makeup. It was bad enough they had her for the FL episodes; why extend her story arc???

THE W

[soroush_azarian · 1/10 · 19 April 2019]

WORST EPISODE OF THE SHOW THE WORST OUGHGHGHHGHGHGHGKHKHKKHK :P

Terrible

[dflufc · 1/10 · 3 March 2021]

Nearly ruined the whole show. Nellie is horrid. Not funny and no charm. Bad series all round.

Nellie and Andy

[vivianla · 21 February 2021]

Andy goes back fo Florida to get Erin.

Nellie walks in and declares herself as manager. Robert just lets things play out as Andy is not showing up to work.

Nellie offers everyone raises after insisting she has to do a performance review for each individual.

Andy pops out of a box to surprise Erin. Erin refuses him at first saying she got her heart broken too many times. Then as Andy is driving away she calls out for him and they kiss. Erin gets into the car and Andy says they have to go back to get her stuff but she says she doesn't have any.

I agree with all of these comments

[jeanie43 · 1/10 · 30 October 2021]

Glad I am not the only one who was put off by the English woman. Is she in the show because she is a friend of Ricky Gervais? I checked to see if she will continue to appear - is so, I'm done.
