This week, Darryl brings Pam along to Philadelphia where he interviews for a position at Jim's new startup. Dwight and Clark pretend to be a father-son sales team in an attempt to get the business of a family-owned suit company. Back at the office, Clark surprises everyone with a new espresso machine.
I didn't think this episode was as consistently funny as last week. I only found myself laughing out loud for the last ten or fifteen minutes, but that's not to say "Suit Warehouse" is completely devoid of things to chuckle at. The inevitable, caffeine-induced chaos that comes with the new espresso machine is an utter riot. We also get a long-awaited first look at the offices of Jim's sports marketing startup. "I dig the Facebook vibe," as Darryl puts it. "You really Zuckerberg'd the place out."
Darryl's job interview is also funny, dripping in the awkward humor that's made "The Office" a favorite. The scene made my skin crawl in the best way possible, something the show has been inconsistent on since the days of Michael Scott. I'm also anxiously awaiting the conversation between Jim and Pam regarding a move to Philly, something that's hinted at in this episode.
