From Wikipedia: WUPHF.com | 11.18.10 D: Danny Leiner W: Aaron Shure
Michael helps Ryan by charming people to invest in his internet company, WUPHF.com. Dwight creates a hay festival in the parking lot for the Thanksgiving holiday. Jim learns of a new Dunder Mifflin policy that prevents him from earning commission. -----
I never thought they'd have made this whole WUPHF thing a running joke for so long, as it seems remarkably similar to Ryan's role with DUNDER MIFFLIN INFINITY back in season four. Michael out looking for investors? Sounds a lot like the MICHAEL SCOTT PAPER COMPANY plotline from season five. Here's hoping writer Aaron Shure can breath some life into this limp sounding summary. As always, join Kevin and me in the TWSS Chatroom during and after the broadcast, and leave your comments below. Best comments get read on the next podcast!

Yay I'm back(: Ok, so I am liking Ryan more this season, although the Kelly jokes are getting old. And I do like this season a lot better than last, which I won't be buying the DVD of it was so bad. I really liked Daryl, and Michael was being classic with his made up sayings. Pam as always was the voice of reason. Altogether it was a very classic episode and very similar to others. I did like it, but some other episodes this season have been better. We will just have to see if they are really going downhill or if they are going to spike back up again.

I Liked the Episode, overall. I seem to remember Dwight being a HEROES fan. How funny would it be if Dwight started accusing Angelas new boyfriend of being undercover, that he's actually Jack Coleman, and he's sure Dwight's got superpowers? I know it's kind of ridiculous, but I could see Dwight accusing someone who resembled a famous Superhero of actually being one. They could have Jack say something about everyone telling him he looks like Noah Bennet. anyway, thats my far fetched theory of the week. looking forward to hearing the show.

This season started off SO strong. It feels like it's going downhill. This really felt like a webisode. It just wasn't as solid, funny or rich of an episode. I love the old seasons when you see something new in the background every time you watch it. I really don't feel the need to see the last couple episodes more than once. They were mildly funny the first time through (with the exception of The Christening), but I feel like they weren't strong enough to hold up to several viewings. Am I just being a negative Nancy? Looking forward to the podcast as usual! (P.S. On my Christmas List this year would be a "Delivery" podcast to fill in from last year. Maybe Santa could help you guys out with that?)

I'm taking a sign language class and had to watch this episode with no sound and closed captioning on, as an exercise in cultural sensitivity. During the opening credits they captioned "Cheerful Music Playing," I guess to cue deaf people that they were about to watch a comedy? Anyway it didn't detract too much from the show and it was nice not having to hear Gabe's nasally whine of a voice. Overall, I thought it was a good episode and an appropriate ending to the WUPHF storyline. It was worth it all just to watch Daryl yanking Ryan out of his chair by the scruff of his shirt. I LOVED Michael in this episode, and how he handled the whole Ryan problem. Some people might hate his new maturity, but I've been sick of the idiot-clown routine for a long time now. His speech about believing in people was heartfelt and wonderful. Is this an end to Dwight and Angela? God, I hope so! Their relationship was one of the highlights of Season 3, but has been a total cartoon creep-fest ever since. Can they both please move on to relationships that at least resemble something human? The new caps on sales policy reeked of plot manipulation. How come none of the other sales people were up in arms, threatening revolt? I mean really! And I am hating Jim more and more. Gabe may be an annoying whiner (Toby II), but he didn't deserve to be the butt of a practical joke. Oh, and Dwight's hay bales were actually straw. Overall, a good episode, thanks mostly to Michael, and partially to Angela acting like a human being.

Maybe Jack Coleman should have been Dunder Mifflin's new traveling salesman, as opposed to Tim Olyphant. After all, he has his Primatech Paper background (on Heroes). With the change in commission caps, one has to wonder if Dwight will still be able to afford the mortgage payments on the office park. I can't imagine that he had enough money to buy the whole office park and warehouse outright. Will this lead to raising rent on the businesses there? I have to admit that I peeked at a few future episode descriptions at OfficeTally.com, and I'm wondering if this will be the impetus for one of the storylines hinted there. Overall, I loved this episode. It was a great return to form after 2 rather pitiful episodes. And bravo to the return of the real Jim.

I hope I'm wrong on this and that I simply have misunderstood the show. I normally don't hold continuity errors against a weekly comedy show. It just isn't that important in the long run... but wasn't an entire episode dedicated to the idea that Sabre has no caps on commission? Isn't this the reason Jim wanted to go into sales rather than taking over the office? Isn't this the reason the sales team actually seem to do their jobs now? Why now are we discovering that, conveniently for one episode, sales caps have reappeared? Somebody please tell me I have this wrong in my head. Because this is not a continuity error I can forgive.
