michael telling a bunch of third graders that he will pay for their college is COMPLETELY in character

when he talked about thinking he would be a millionaire by then? you know that was the truth

and since when does michael think shit out before he talks...he's always saying ridiculous stuff...and he did backhandedly help those kids out with graduating, plus now they know not to count on white people in suits

was that a hilarious storyline...no...was it funny when he brought up laptops, then gave them batteries?...yes

dwight manipulating everyone in the office perfectly, yet having his plan fail? and leaving his plan in the copier like he leaves his ninja weapons everywhere?...funny...maybe not hilarious, but funny

summation...the show has not been as funny since folks left to do parks and rec...but it's still solid, and it's not like they've lost the characters...they just need a good ensemble episode to bring everyone back in
