Even diehard fans can admit that season 8 wasn’t The Office at its finest. Regardless, the show still knows how to sling a punchline — especially if it’s delivered during the pre-credits cold open or by Ellie Kemper’s Erin Hannon. Those who stopped watching after Michael Scott made his exit missed out on a lot of great gags — which is a shame, especially if they plan to tune in again for the show’s last season.
So, before watching the sitcom’s final premiere tonight, catch up by reading this list of season 8′s funniest moments. Sure, none of...

Most of Jim's pranks on Dwight affect only Dwight. But the one he pulled on "The Office" Thursday (Oct. 13), while excellent in its planning and execution, also caused some collateral damage.
Andy was likely in a no-win situation, inviting his parents to his own Connecticut-casual garden party a week after they threw one for his favored, name-stealing younger brother Walter Bernard Jr. But the ridiculous guidelines in Jim's fake handbook, which Dwight of course followed to the letter, made a bad situation worse for the Nard-Dog.
As with a couple of the other episodes that have aired this season, "Garden Party" could have, with a few alterations, easily been a Michael Scott story. But because Ed Helms is very good at playing poignancy, it worked pretty well anyway.
Josh Groban didn't get a whole lot to do as Andy's younger brother, aside from the obligatory singing scene. But he was...

"Garden Party" brought one of the classic The Office dynamics back to the forefront. Jim Halpert hasn't pulled a prank this elaborate or this hilarious on Dwight Schrute in quite some time, and as you would assume, it resulted in the best episode of the season to date.
There were a number of one-offs that added to the hilarity this week - Mose's valet heist stunt, Kevin's hair piece, Walter Jr. thinking Meredith and Phyllis were Pam, Kevin and Ryan on the see-saw, and everyone sucking up to Robert California - but watching Dwight pull off a successfully ridiculous garden party thanks to Jim's fake book was definitely the highlight.

On June 26, Milton Glaser turned 80 but there's no retirement in sight for the world's most celebrated graphic designer.

'Sometimes People tell me I should go into politics, but I'm not interested. We've got enough boobs in the White House. Peo ple would ask about foreign af fairs, and I'd say, 'What's wrong with American men?' Then they'd ask about global warming, and I'd say 'When my globes get warm, I just take off my sweater!' "
