    Still my favorite Episode - ever!!

    I've seen The Office so many times and this is one of my favorite episodes - it never gets old. Can't wait to hear what The Office Ladies have to say about Gay Witch Hunt!

    I hope they win an Emmy for this one.

    Wow! I just can't get enough of this episode. I recorded it on DVD-R when it came out (no pun intended!) and I watch it over and over. The writing is unbelievable, and the acting is top notch. Steve Carell may just be the greatest actor on television right now! He could just come out as a prick, but with the subtlety he puts in his acting, you can sense a childlike quality behind his antics. He is incredible. This episode gets funnier and funnier with each viewing, but also the ending, with Micheal's voice-over about love, gets more and more heart-breaking. I would give this episode a 15 out of 10 if I could! It will probably end-up being the best episode of the series.

    Making fun of someone's homosexual lifestyle is very offensive and can lead to serious trouble.

    I've worked at several different places and never once did I ever make fun of someone's homosexual lifestyle. If I did, I would be in serious trouble.

    one of the goods

    It is one of the good episodes of The Office. I like it a lot.

    Fine episode

    Despite the changed times when it comes to LGBTQI attitudes, this is still a hilarious episode. There's some pretty cringe moments that people won't be able to help but keep their eyes open for. This is Steve Carell at his finest as he carries the entire episode from start to finish. It centers on Oscar experiencing a homophobic slur from Michael, unbeknownst to Michael that Oscar is in fact gay. The extents to which Michael goes to rectify the situation is nothing short of hilarious and perfection. There's quite a bit of improvisation that this series that to adds to its authenticity in this particular episode.

      Creed: I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing.
