Recap of “Local Ad”

Posted by officefan

October 26, 2007 |

Here is my review of last night’s “Local Ad” episode.  I had to give this episode an overall rating of B.  It wasn’t my favorite but it was pretty good. It had a good dose of the characters and the plot was pretty good.  My grade was raised at the end when they showed the Michael Scott version of Dunder Mifflin’s ad.  I really loved his ad A LOT!

But now here are my brief comments on several areas of the episode.

1. Cold Open - I didn’t really like it too much because it really had nothing to do with the rest of the episode and I prefer opens that are integrated with the episode.  Grade: C

2.  JAM - not too much JAM going on but I did like the few sprinklings such as Jim bringing Pam breakfast in the morning (only to have hilarious Creed steal the hash browns) and at the end when the bartender tried to hit on Pam, Jim was very protective of her.  Grade:  B

3.  Dwight - poor Dwight still trying to get over Angela.  I have to admit that he is becoming very likeable this season because of his crushed heart and Andy is totally oblivious to it all by asking Dwight for romantic advice from him. I love the “Oh, D” dance they both do in the break room.  Totally hilarious. Grade:  A

4.  Michael - he was actually rather calm in this episode which has been a change so far this season.  I think the talk with Jan on the train calmed him down a little bit and I actually liked him and his ad.  A few comments from him were “train-wreckish” but overall he was good. Grade:  A-

5. Dunder Mifflin rapping - I love the rap group with Darryl at the keyboard and Creed, Kevin, and Kelly on vocals.  I really enjoyed the jingle they came up with. Too bad Michael hated it.  Grade:  A

6.  The Ad:  I LOVED it.  In fact I love it so much I am adding the video to it right here.  Grade:  A++

Stay tuned for next week when I preview “Branch Wars.”
