Oohhhh, THAT was the joke? Yeah it definitely did not work in the way Greg Daniels intended, but worked perfectly in another way that apparently was unintentional by him. I've thought for 12 years(The episode is 12 years old already?! Kill me now...) that the joke was that Michael couldn't tell the difference between his original waitress Cindy and the one he actually brought to the party, and thought he WAS with Cindy the whole time, iirc they never mention Nikki's name in the episode which would help that joke work. I honestly can't understand why they didn't just go that route considering that half the episode has an ongoing gag that Michael can't tell Asians apart, he even marked his date's arm for identification purposes, which on a side note is one of the funniest f***ing things I've ever seen on TV. Greg I really hope you stumble upon my comment some day, it will be the ultimate facepalm moment for you.
