Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Michael realizes he is what is causing people to stress out in the office so he arranges a roast.

Our Take

The roast half of this one is mostly hit over miss, with some genuinely cutting jabs at Michael, though a few land too mean to be funny. The episode runs long and some bits, like the casket storyline, feel like filler. Still, it ends on a surprisingly warm note that earns its sentiment. Worth a watch, just not the classic it’s often made out to be.
