Was really looking forward to being able to discuss a new episode of The Office following the summer reruns and … NBC puts up a rerun of “The Incentive” against the World Series. Que sera.

Dunder Mifflin/Sabre apparently does not have much in the way of sensitivity training for its managers. Now that Andy has taken the Regional Manager reins, he is continuing to make the same type of inappropriate comments that were the hallmark of Michael Scott’s tenure. Andy’s explanation for why he calls Oscar “C-Span,” his offer of a vibrator as a sales incentive, and his attempt to placate Kelly by trying to pass off a tablecloth as a sari — each of these sounds like something Michael would have said. And that doesn’t even take into account Andy’s ultimate incentive: to allow his office mates to select a design to tattoo on his rear end, and the accompanying trouser drop. Although no one seemed particularly offended by these comments (and, indeed, the entire office had a great time at the tattoo parlor), such statements can sound quite different down the road in litigation, divorced from the immediate context in which they were made.
