Todd Packer sucks.

I know viewers of The Office are meant to dislike this chauvinist, but he was fun to hate in the past, when he'd show up occasionally, toss in a few bawdy insults and be on his way. On an episode named in his honor, however, and filled with more Packer than any other character, I was legitimately hoping he'd leave the screen every time he appeared.

That's not exactly a recipe for a winning installment of The Office, but "Todd Packer" was saved by the temporary alliance of Jim and Dwight - once they got that Justin Bieber vs. Justice Beaver issue sorted out - and the great use of Kevin.

The latter is my favorite employee at Dunder Mifflin. He was involved in what may have been my favorite running gag on any sitcom, back when Holly thought he was mentally challenged for a couple episodes.

And he came through this week in every scene, kissing up to Packer simply because the guy is a (self-proclaimed) womanizer, admitting that he could shed a few pounds and coming down hard on those who don't understand the meaning of the word "approved." Seriously, people, Kevin has very little patience for stupidity!

Some great throwaway lines and glances on the episode, too, from Stanley's complaint about anything good happening to him being deemed "crazy" to Creed's expression when Michael said the office can't just wait for him to die. I also can't be the only one who finds Erin's random hatred of Holly hilarious, can I?

Nothing stands out about the Pam/Andy B story, but these two don't often interact, so it felt like a nice change of pace.

My one, non-Packer based complaint? The Steve Carell Farewell Tour is getting a little tired. Each episode for weeks now seems to center around the concept of Michael growing closer to Holly, evolving, maturing, etc. I'm ready for the guy to simply move on (and, in case you're wondering, Darryl has my vote for new branch manager).

What did everyone else think? Sound off now as you review The Office quotes from the episode:
