    I think she became funny in the episode right before the xmas one (the one with her life insurance theory) and it's because they finally figured out that the naive girl routine only had so many jokes and that most of them were already used up. I love that they're going the Creed route with her by just making her totally insane.

          Funny thing is, Amy Ryan is the woman who plays Holly.

            It was uncomfortable with Jim-Dwight, it came off as malicious.

            I liked the rest of the episode, but that all just felt wrong.

                I dunno I kind of agree with Burns on this one. Jim has tormented Dwight for years, but it has never been anything physical like that. I found myself feeling a uncomfortable about it, although I loved the last scene, so I dunno haha.

                  I think the Jim/Dwight thing was the reason I loved the episode so much. I've started liking Jim less and less once he started dating Pam, and so that might have something to do with it.

                    Jim has never done anything malicious like that though. It's like someone loosening the salt shaker top so you stab them in the eye with a fork. It was just way over the top to me.

                      But isn't that Dwight's whole persona. That's the reason that he can be pranked so easily by Jim, because he's so over the top. If Jim had done this prank to Dwight, I would have hated it and thought the same as you, but because it was the first prank that worked for Dwight towards Jim, I thought it was great.

                          I can't help but think the snowball fight went beyond "prank". Someone said it was uncomfortable, and I completely agree. It didn't even find the end funny, just sad. That isn't what I want from The Office. I want to see Dwight get on top, but then lose it eventually.

                          In the last episode, he showed compassion and in this episode, he was as ruthless as always. Not witty inconsistency, but just poor inconsistency.

                          Plus, we've seen Jim get in trouble with pranks before, such as wearing the tuxedo when Charles was there. Jim was embarrassed and it was funny, but when he got in trouble this episode for the snowball, not funny. Due to the physical nature of it all.

                          Oh well. Still a very funny episode.

                            It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                              No, he directed the episode. It was written by Mindy Kaling (Who plays Kelly).

                                You're right...I thought I read that he wrote it.
