I'm beginning to get just a tiny bit sick of jokes about Mr. Yee's stupidity. Good episode, regardless.
Will there ever really be a proper punchline to one of these jokes, or will there just be awkward dialogue upon awkward dialogue?
A real, quick, funny joke would be nice once in a while, that's all I'm saying.

It was an alright episode, but it felt a little too long for my liking, you could've shaved off a couple lines from Mr Yee, or not let Jennifer speak, like ever again.
I was having a hard time hearing some of the voices, Beth and Bob to be specific, I didn't want to crank my volume just to hear them and then turn it down when the others talked.
I wish they had a little more animation in their faces, like when Gary was talking about firing them at the end, and Roger's face was close up, you'd think he'd be pissed off while Gary was talking. But it looked like Roger was happy? That kind of detracts from the message in my opinion.

Okay...have to agree...things drag on way too much. :/ At the start of the episode, I was totally interested and prepared to be amused at the reaction they would have to playing the game, but it never even came close to happening. In fact, I've felt that way at the start of every episode. An overlying theme sets in and hints at what will happen next...but that event never does happen. The characters talk for a while, and as each episode goes by that talk is just repeated, so even if I laughed at some of them, I'm now growing tired as it's just the same long jokes each time. The odd quirky mixes of canine behavior with human life are funny, but not enough on their own to hold up the show.
I would love to see this show speed things up and find more direction. There doesn't necessary have to be a ton of stuff that happens each episode...but it would be nice if at least ONE thing happened each episode. Particularly if it was what we thought we were going to get in the first place.
I'm sorry for such a negative review, but I'm really having a hard time keeping interest now. I love the characters, the design, the music, and the animation . . . but the writing is really dragging this down into the dirt.

They stretch Mr. Yee's stupidity too much. The peek of the episode was Garys laughter at the end.
I predict Bob is going to "bla bla clearly states that any work related accidents resulting in a injured employee will inmediatly cause the employee to take recovery time taking from him all his responsabilities and autorithy" thus not being able to fire the others and in wich time Mr. Yee will come around and take back is permission for Gary to use his signature.

Was kinda hoping it'd say "To not be continued."
Couldn't you have maybe edited it down to 6 minutes? They're getting longer, but staying the same level of funny. :|

so basiaclly the plot wasn't continued at all, if you skip this episode, it doesn't fucking matter.
Nothing happened here.

The whole setting of "Huge Software Corporation" has a lack of authenticity. It's trying to be Dilbert, but there's no sense that any of the writers have ever worked in such an environment for any amount of time.
I realize that part of the joke is that they're an afterthought of the CEO, but there needs to be more interaction from other departments within the company. HR handles issues related to firing employees, Marketing would have to be involved in promoting the game since it reflects on the company as a whole.
The whole venture has the feel of "small startup venture", but it doesn't work if the company has an established presence in the Software World.
There's a serious disconnect and the office-based jokes don't work except as very thin tropes.
You need to build up the cast more beyond what there is now. Code Monkeys did something similar but at least there was a feeling that it was a real company with different departments.
