The Office: "Murder"

Michael having the entire office to role-play in the titular "Cluedo" like scenario in order to distract them from the rumor that Dunder-Mifflin is going under came across as somewhat unbearable at times. This is especially so when Michael insisted on continuing when the office had heard from Oscar that the company had asked the accountants to withhold payment to suppliers, and when Michael refused to take Wallace's call because he was so insistent on remaining in character. However, as is the trademark of "The Office", even when the premises aren't delivering joke-wise, they almost always have a great payoff. In this case, Jim following Michael's lead in everyone role-play in order to hide the bad news that he had just heard from Wallace. Andy and Erin are shaping up to be Jim and Pam: The Early Years 2.0. Ed Helms is slowly revealing a soft side to Andy (but wisely not so much as to make the change too unbelievably drastic), while Erin is easily likeable being so perpetually perky, so this could actually work, even if first impressions are that the writers might be treading familiar ground. Love the tag with the standoff when it was revealed that Pam was in on the zaniness too, and I also enjoyed the throwaway running gag of Ryan donning ultra-douchebag outfits.
