(sigh) this, is, far, too, drawn, out.
please tell me this is the end of a series which startled in the middle, rose for 2/3 episodes, then plummeted into an abys of tired, long winded and punch lacking gags mostly focused on merely applying the fact that the characters are anthropomorphic dogs to the office scenario.
Would they please just play the damned game already, or move onto something else?
If this is the build up to the end then I beg you to go out with a bang at least.
Oh and Mr.Yee is still infuriating and tiring

Why are you still wasting resources on this? I mean you gave it the old college try, but it's just not funny! The dialogue is tedious and pointless most of the time, the jokes are blisteringly predictable. It doesn't even make me smile! I just feel bad for the creators and the people who continue to work hours on this. It's just not worth it guys. I'm not trying to be mean or flame you it's just the truth.
okay, i've stayed quiet and watched this series hoping it would get funnier with time, but it hasn't, it's a good premise with good voice actors, but the writing itself is so comically bad that it is the funniest part of the series, long winded situational jokes about Mr. Yee being an air head isn't funny, the only series that made the 'long winded stupid character lines' was Family Guy with peter falling over all the time and that was only funny because it was deliberately long winded and repetitive.
i'd like to say that this series is a 'sum of it's parts' deal, but the sum of it's parts are lame jokes about air heads and social steriotypes that make themselves less funny every time they're used, the anal retentive co-worker, the demonic devison boss and the air head CEO just don't serve the series so much as deflates it. please, please, please find a better writer and spend more time on you're character development.

I decided to watch this weeks episode out of pity, how nice of me.
There were no jokes or witty moments, the only part of the show that made me even crack a smile was when Bob would refer to his chances of getting overtime.
Captain Dipshit (ie. Mr. Yee) has become too stupid, obviously used merely to drag the drek out to a reasonable time length because it was one of the very few things that there was any positive response regarding.
Jennifer/*****'s voice and personality are too annoying, like when her debut episode was out I (and most likely countless others as well) could not tolerate the sound of the voice, it honestly hurt my ears and I had to close the page (I unfortunately mean this literally, the pitch was bad enough, with the personality choice just nudging it off the cliff edge the load of bullshit was dancing on) and unfortunately, even with viewer response, this hasn't changed.
The "vocalized sound effects" (for lack of a better term) that the token female group character has is still there and aggravating more people than ever, except now it's spreading to more sounds than a talentless woman saying "sigh" because she's not intelligent enough to know that sighing is a sound, not the noise itself, and the growling, you don't say "grrrr" like you're trying to push out a turd but you ate too much damn cheese, it's a sound effect, not the pronunciation. If you must continue this garbage do yourselves a favor and drop this dead-weight voice actor and pick up someone else, it's been done countless times before, with major shows no less. I doubt I need to go into the personality of the *****, since everyone else has complained about it in EVERY previous episode and been ignored.
The animation needs some mixing up, there's the basic frame-work of a model created well, the characters at least look nice, however the hing jaws and the vocal pitch doesn't change the way the hinges moves, there's not even an apparent attempt for any kind of voice synchronization. Characters will always look like they're at one standard emotional state, Chet always looks like he's just been scolded for pissing on a rug, even when he should be grinning ear to ear, like when he was about to get some ass in the after-party. Rodger just looks like he's happy that he was able to lick some cotton candy off the ass of a inebriated prostitute without anyone noticing, even in scenes where they should be devastated, like where he was fired in the end, sitting there with his shit-eating grin whilst being told that he's lost his dream job. The token ***** has the same issue as Rodger, except replace the hooker and cotton candy with having pissed on the car of that skank who took the last coke from the break room fridge. I'll stop listing off characters here since none have any emotions that they are able to show. The voice acting being monotone and weak doesn't help this issue either.
SIDE NOTE: On a friendlier note, since Russ Pitts has opened this thread I felt I might just say that I hope to see you do more of the video supplements of the sites, Your vocabulary is quite varied and interesting, not to mention that for whatever reason I find your voice strangely soothing, somewhat like a white Morgan Freeman (lesser extent, I won't go overboard, but I can't think of a better voice over). Dearie me, that sounded a bit homo-erotic, did it not? Unintentional, but no less disturbing.

I know, it's baffling, and I'm one of the people who hate the crap. I can't explain it myself, I personally want nothing more than to see the show canceled and the worst of its workers fired (I'm a horrible asshole, I'm a terrible person, I'm aware, I don't care about other people and their issues; it's who I am and I like it that way, stops my opinion from being clouded by pity and other similar issues), yet I still watch it each release and attempt to eat my shoes in pure rage! Though I rarely ever comment because of my lack of ability to understand why I feel compelled to view it. Normally I'd agree with you in saying "If you don't like it, don't watch it", but I can't control it and neither can countless others disturbingly enough. Because of my inability to understand my compulsion to view it I choose not to post in the threads normally, however I was so irritated this time I felt it would be good to bring up some gripes, so this is my 2nd comment regarding the series to date.

Cheer up guys, there may be a silver lining.
At the end of the episode Gary said their useless asses were fired. If they've listened to all the negative comments this may just be the Escapists way of finishing the show off with a bang.
Imagine if you will, the annoying tools marching out of the office, in tears, holding their crap which was hastily crammed into boxes and slowly walking down the street, not sure what to do next. Only knowing that they've lost their dream. Then a truck drives by and runs down the annoying little fuckers.

That one dragged on a bit..this is definitely not one of the greater episodes. Also what was with the shocked face of BOB at the end is he gonna get some showtime?
I take it the art department hasn't finished making game play images for "Satan's Rertrievers" yet. There was that brief tease during one of the E3 episodes. I hope you don't go the route of 1950's B movies where you show the characters awed face as they narate the action in leu of a decent money shot.
1: I am glad you decided not to have any sex talk in this episode. Thank god!
2: It was way too long! Mr. Yee being absent Minded, Jenniffer being a *****, and Bob... being Bob (To be honest, I've never liked Bob's Droning).
3: Why was Bob like... DUH DUH DUH!? at the end, he wasn't around when they were told they were fired... was he?
4: Damn that Greg! Firing our main characters! What're they gonna do now?
Overall, it was okay, a huge improvement over last weeks stupid episode. Just shorten it and stop using stereotypes.

I have to believe this is written to be bad, I mean the whole series.
13 episodes and it's never been good, that can't be just a coincidence.
Some parts of some of the episodes weren't god awefull and that's the coincidence.
I can't phantom a world where people write this then read it back and find it funny or good.
This is a willful attempt at terrible and always has been.
It's impossible to write something this horrible without wanting it to be so, thought and effort went into making this show suck, it's a carefully crafted masterpiece.
This is either the truth or the madness I've retreated into.
