Beach Games
Ranked #95 out of 186 episodes in The Office
Michael was shocked when he received a call from Corporate wanting him to interview for a position. Michael was happy, but he also had other things on his mind. Beach Day was coming up and he was taking the crew out for some fun in the sun. Not before reminding Toby he couldn't go because somebody had to stay in the office.
Beach setting dilutes office dynamics; cringe lands harder than ensemble comedy.
Directed by Harold Ramis · Written by Greg Daniels, Jennifer Celotta
