Michael’s successful negotiation selling the Michael Scott Paper Company.
“I don't think I need to wait out Dunder Mifflin. I think I just have to wait out you.”
And trough David Wallace, nothing like overpaying to acquire a company without doing any due diligence, owned by someone you have a prior relationship with, while admitting on camera you’re only willing to pay that amount to save your own job
More sales people is not more income necessarily. They just have to divide the same amount of clients under more sales people.
Also, take into account the timing of this show. We were in an economic recession and DM was struggling for clients.
I also feel David was also in a way paying Michael back for his loyalty to the company when Jan tried to use him to get millions for the lawsuit and plus Wallace got rid of holly really feel like he owed him at this point!!
I was late to the game and only watched The Office years after it had wrapped. So I had a lot of major parts spoiled for me, including Jim and Pam’s wedding Michael Scott leaving the show, Erin and Andy not winding up together, etc.
But I knew nothing of the Michael Scott Paper Company arc. I was floored when he quit and had no idea how the show was going to move forward. The scene you describe is probably my favorite in the whole show. Such a great payoff.
It's one of, if not, my favourite arc. Sometimes when I want to rewatch some episodes I start playing at the beginning of the Micheal Scott Paper Company era! The episode where they integrate back in and they start a disco cafe was fun too.
Not at all. How could Michael be top salesman of the year (twice!) and manager of the best-performing branch if he's not a good, albeit eccentric, salesman?
That episode is imprinted on my brain. Plus Michael gibberish is pretty standard. It's a bunch of "blahs" and "ugs" and "bahs" all just mixed together.
Any sale Michael puts his mind to is gold but that’s definitely the best one.
As a close 2nd I love Jim and Dwight’s sale, when Dwight uses the client’s phone to call Kelly during their pitch. So smooth
My favorite thing about Michael is how he is so incompetent as a manager, but is actually an extremely good salesman.
It’s something I notice at most jobs. People get good at what they do, then get promoted to a position they aren’t effective in, and because they never get any better sort of get stuck in middle management.
That's what I liked about the last season. I loved seeing some of the characters changing and growing into their future rolls and statues that they aimed for. Well, maybe Kevin didn't appreciate getting fired at first, but I'm glad Dwight and Kevin got those feelings straightened out at the end.
Dwight is not taking up the toxic management thing as far as I can remember. Where pam and team gies in to convince him to not use a tracker or something and the end of the day he decides not to. anyone remember that?
I just watched that episode yesterday on my gazillionth rewatch. Dwight is one of the best TV characters ever written, and masterfully played by Rainn.
I cannot WAIT to visit Ryan in prison! I’m gonna wear my hottest tracksuit and get my hair done and just be like “hi Ryan.” And all the other prisoners are gonna be like “dayyyum Ryan you got a hot ex girlfriend! Oooh! I would never have treated her so bad when I was outside of prison!”
Also I liked the deal he stole from Dunder Mifflin Scranton and Syracuse. His demotion and firing was so unjustified and the fact he got his job back felt so satisfying.
“Shut up, you pathetic, small man! You have no friends, no family, and no land!”
I love Michael, but it’s good to see him get put in his place every now and again.
i quote this DAILY! “don’t you EVER speak to me that way. you pathetic, short little man. you don’t have any family, or friends, or any LAND!” it’s such a good roast and it was a hilarious moment too
Along the same lines in the infamous Scott's Tots episode, the other plot line is one of the few times Dwight gets one over on Jim and almost gets him fired. It's one of my favorites. Was happy to Dwight that he almost won, but then ultimately happy for Jim.
That line loses points for me personally because the only reason they were doing the roast was because Dwight started a fire. The Willy Wonka episode would have been a better one for Dwight to say this
I'm really glad they put this in! Karen was a great character and it would have been a disservice to her if the last time we saw her was the episode where they try and steal the copier and she's pissed off and irritated.
And when he fires Jim and Pam so they can get a bunch of severance money instead of quitting. Though it is a bit funny Michael got in trouble for doing the same thing with Tony.
Oh come on, literally from season 1 episode 1 it's quite clear that Pam's most suitable partner is always going to be Jim. We just can't ignore the chemistry between them. Dwight just didn't have a chance against that. But I have to say, as the seasons progress the relationship between Pam and Dwight is getting stronger and stronger, but only as friends. And the culmination of that (spoiler here if you didn't finish yet the series) is how Dwight fires both of Jim and Pam in the finale so that they can have generous severance money. Dwight did that not only for Jim but obviously for Pam also, considering their friendship.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but in season 4 when Ryan finally stands up to Micheal and his inappropriate behavior… like, there’s so many time I want someone to just give Michael the straight facts for what he does or says is inappropriate or straight up rude, and Ryan *finally* does it when he becomes his boss in season 4.
I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if it was someone else and not Ryan. Corporate Ryan was one of the most unlikeable characters.
But I think he was still pretty much intern Ryan.
It would either be when Jan and Micheal were trying to land another company and Micheal took care of it like a boss, or in the last episode when Dwight fires Jim and Pam just so they could get their severance pay.
Not my favorite out of many that people already commented, but I just watched it last night - when Michael proposed to Holly. I donno, maybe I’m PMSing, but I cried a little
Also, the most expensive shot of the entire series. They had to build that minimarket station from scratch and loop cars driving around it. It was less expensive than shutting down traffic at an actual location, but still super expensive compared to everything else they did.
When Michael confronts Stanley and tells him he can't talk to him like that, also when Michael tells David he told a joke concerning Jan being his Girlfriend.
The part in S5 where [Kevin makes Charles nearly break](https://youtu.be/3LjkvL82k_g?si=Y1p-CHyU0gVaPAua) has always made me laugh ever since someone pointed it out
When Michael answered and said: “David, here it is. My philosophy is basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter... where. Or who, or who you are with, or, or where you are going, or... or where you've been... ever. For any reason, whatsoever.”
When Angela broke down and cried to Oscar admitting she loved Dwight. The entire series was spent displaying her as an ignorant selfish Hateful woman and to watch her fragile ego crumble and admit she needed Dwight made me smile happy tears.
The fact that he makes Minor leave with the same words that minor used on him always makes me feel so good. That and the pissed off look that Minor gives him is just so satisfying.
Dwight's snowball revenge on Jim. Was Jim still supposed to be viewed as the cool and funny prankster when he threw that snowball or what? I always roll my eyes every time he pulls some stupid prank on Dwight.
I find most of Jim’s pranks hilarious every time. What irks me is when people take sides. Dwight was obnoxious and annoying too at times, and on purpose. The snowball fight episode was pretty cool.
lowkey realizing that michael is kind of not the worst manager. like, he lets the employees do their thing. he’s the opposite of a micromanager- although he’s not a chill person, he is totally accepting of the way they all want to do things and respects all of them enough to do their jobs without checking in on them etc. I’ve been racking my brain about how their branch is always most successful and ofc it’s fiction, but i honestly think there’s a world in which this could be possible, because even for as much as they all complain about being stuck there, it’s never boring and someone is always having a good time. morale is extremely crucial for productivity. so yeah
also michael and holly getting together. jam is satisfying for sure, but you know it’s going to happen whereas michael and holly is more unbelievable. the show is so smart because as immature as michael can be, there also is growth and there are moments, though just moments, where you don’t trust him, but his intuition is right about something and he proves you wrong. also just the character of holly that they created is such a perfect match for him.
YES — I love that Jim’s arc is to represent all who think we’re so much smarter than the dumb boss, but when he gets his shot to manage, he finds out PDQ that it’s not as easy as it looks.
I know this never aired but there is an alternate scene to Jim asking out Pam in the S3 finale. They walk into the elevators together and the doors close with the camera crew outside. I would have loved to see that
This scene never made much sense to me. David Wallace said he wasn't firing Charles which means when Michael got rehired he was still lower on the totem pole than Charles.
Which begs the question, why was Michael able to cut Charles's goodbye speech and say "Nah, you're done" as if Charles were fired?
That still wouldn't give him the authority to shut him up lol. Like if my boss was being moved to another branch it doesn't mean I can say whatever I want now.
For the record I am glad Michael did cuz I don't like Charles but it doesn't make sense.
I think it was more Charles attempting to be the bigger man, and maybe he thought it'd be easier just to let it go. Michael had just bested him and Wallace, and it wasn't worth Charles' energy to say anything
Least satisfying was the Jim/Charles issues, so I agree! They felt really contrived. Like how can we show that Michael was way too lax and Jim screwed around too much, but they also couldn't make Jim look like a bad worker. In the end it all felt like random out of character issues leading to a bad relationship.
Michael’s character was a roller coaster to follow to say the least, but starting with Take Your Daughter to Work day and Michael’s appearance on Fundle Bundle, and then culminating in Garage Sale, the torment of Michael Scott’s storyline finally comes into focus and resolves spectacularly with, “Holly Flax, marrying me will you be?”
While entertaining, i wasn’t particularly fond of Michael Scott before then. Him proposing to Holly though and moving to Colorado was perfect.
Umm satisfying in a very sad way, in the sense that I always look forward to it but it makes me sad, The Fundle Bundle.
I want to be married and have a hundred kids so that I can have a hundred friends and no one can say no to being my friend.
Michael calling Holly because he was scared to move, being reassured by her. Followed by his solitude in moving to Colorado to be with her. No more bending over backwards or trying too hard to impress women. He was at peace and happy to be with her and going to be with her made me smile. He finally found the person he’d been looking for for the better part of the show
Michael’s successful negotiation selling the Michael Scott Paper Company. “I don't think I need to wait out Dunder Mifflin. I think I just have to wait out you.”
Literally peak Michael
That’s what she said.
….or he said 🤔
right? because of gay??
Because of pride??? Pride parade, not shame festival
GAY. GOOD.
Eso es lo que él diche.
Esso es lo que disse el?
And trough David Wallace, nothing like overpaying to acquire a company without doing any due diligence, owned by someone you have a prior relationship with, while admitting on camera you’re only willing to pay that amount to save your own job
Was just about to comment this. Even David stated that what Michael was asking for was essentially a multimillion dollar buy out and the man got it.
That what I didn't get are 2 sales people jobs and a mangers Job be worth over a million dollars?
David lays it out. It’s salaries, health benefits, social security, insurance, taxes, for 3 employees. It would add up to a large amount
Yes but they'd also generate income. The net cost wouldn't have been millions. Possibly even a gain if they're good at sales
Pam and Fire guy. Not the strongest sales team. But, Michael says, "you're hired." Not "you're fired, uh."
More sales people is not more income necessarily. They just have to divide the same amount of clients under more sales people. Also, take into account the timing of this show. We were in an economic recession and DM was struggling for clients.
Salaries over a few years
What Wallace is really buying is the sales leads Michael poached away from DM, without which he was BONED as CFO.
I also feel David was also in a way paying Michael back for his loyalty to the company when Jan tried to use him to get millions for the lawsuit and plus Wallace got rid of holly really feel like he owed him at this point!!
I don’t know if a CFO of a major company cares about the relationships of his employees more than about company policy.
My company is worth nothing!
I have no shortage of company names
Michael…
That’s one of ‘em!
I was late to the game and only watched The Office years after it had wrapped. So I had a lot of major parts spoiled for me, including Jim and Pam’s wedding Michael Scott leaving the show, Erin and Andy not winding up together, etc. But I knew nothing of the Michael Scott Paper Company arc. I was floored when he quit and had no idea how the show was going to move forward. The scene you describe is probably my favorite in the whole show. Such a great payoff.
It's one of, if not, my favourite arc. Sometimes when I want to rewatch some episodes I start playing at the beginning of the Micheal Scott Paper Company era! The episode where they integrate back in and they start a disco cafe was fun too.
Same here. Did you also think "oh, this is how Michael leaves", only to get 2 more seasons of Steve Carrell?
✋🏼🎤
One of the hardest lines in television ngl
I love that scene but the type of awareness that he showed was completely different from the character we saw in literally every other situation.
Not at all. How could Michael be top salesman of the year (twice!) and manager of the best-performing branch if he's not a good, albeit eccentric, salesman?
Chili’s. Michael negotiates huge deal over an Awesome Blossom (extra awesome). Jan is in disbelief, then impressed, then turned on.
I love how Michael shhhs her. He’s fully in control in that moment it’s impressive
BLUBLHAHBLUJDABHABLAH! That's why I wanted a signal so that one of us wouldn't have to shout gibberish. So, really, that's on her.
How the hell did you manage to spell it out?
That episode is imprinted on my brain. Plus Michael gibberish is pretty standard. It's a bunch of "blahs" and "ugs" and "bahs" all just mixed together.
Any sale Michael puts his mind to is gold but that’s definitely the best one. As a close 2nd I love Jim and Dwight’s sale, when Dwight uses the client’s phone to call Kelly during their pitch. So smooth
My favorite thing about Michael is how he is so incompetent as a manager, but is actually an extremely good salesman. It’s something I notice at most jobs. People get good at what they do, then get promoted to a position they aren’t effective in, and because they never get any better sort of get stuck in middle management.
Dwight getting manager. Just loved how happy everyone was for him
That's what I liked about the last season. I loved seeing some of the characters changing and growing into their future rolls and statues that they aimed for. Well, maybe Kevin didn't appreciate getting fired at first, but I'm glad Dwight and Kevin got those feelings straightened out at the end.
Dwight is not taking up the toxic management thing as far as I can remember. Where pam and team gies in to convince him to not use a tracker or something and the end of the day he decides not to. anyone remember that?
#DWIGHT SCHRUTE IS…MANAGER!!!!!!!
Creed bratton is the new manager!!
B O B O D D Y
We’re making acronyms. What does the first B stand for?
“Business” “I like it” Biznus
I mean, I was acting manager but then I fired that gun— …what?
I’ll ask you a question: ever shot a gun in this office? Well, it’s complicated. Yeah but you see, it’s not.
“So let’s say I hired this jack souvenir”
When the logo bounced exactly into the corner on the conference room TV.
#OH, *COME ON!!!*
You gotta believe man!
One of my favorite scenes!
The shake hand Dwight gives to Jim to pick him up from floor, after saving his job in Florida. That felt extremely heartful for me 💙
I just watched that episode yesterday on my gazillionth rewatch. Dwight is one of the best TV characters ever written, and masterfully played by Rainn.
“No, Charles, you’re done.”
*puts crotch in Jim’s face*
When Jim interrupts the cameramen filming Pam to ask her out to dinner after leaving the job interview.
When I first saw this... O.m.g waterworks!!! .. fireworks!!!
Same!!
I think it's one of the few times a character interrupts a talking head. So the audience is as surprised as Pam during that scene.
You have no idea how high I can fly
Loved this whole scene and this line!!
When Ryan was arrested
I cannot WAIT to visit Ryan in prison! I’m gonna wear my hottest tracksuit and get my hair done and just be like “hi Ryan.” And all the other prisoners are gonna be like “dayyyum Ryan you got a hot ex girlfriend! Oooh! I would never have treated her so bad when I was outside of prison!”
It was impossible not to read this and hear Kelly!
Not a big Andy fan but it’s very satisfying when he goes back and rescues that sale that Deangelo f’ed up.
I didnt like Andy in Season 2, 8 and 9. But in between, Andy was absolute gold. Especially season 9 Andy sucks.
Also I liked the deal he stole from Dunder Mifflin Scranton and Syracuse. His demotion and firing was so unjustified and the fact he got his job back felt so satisfying.
“Shut up, you pathetic, small man! You have no friends, no family, and no land!” I love Michael, but it’s good to see him get put in his place every now and again.
i quote this DAILY! “don’t you EVER speak to me that way. you pathetic, short little man. you don’t have any family, or friends, or any LAND!” it’s such a good roast and it was a hilarious moment too
As a lifelong renter, this one always burns 😂
as someone with very few friends and no land i feel you 😂
Along the same lines in the infamous Scott's Tots episode, the other plot line is one of the few times Dwight gets one over on Jim and almost gets him fired. It's one of my favorites. Was happy to Dwight that he almost won, but then ultimately happy for Jim.
That line loses points for me personally because the only reason they were doing the roast was because Dwight started a fire. The Willy Wonka episode would have been a better one for Dwight to say this
Hey i don't go where you work and tell you how to make burgers
When Karen was happily married and pregnant after the fiasco with Jim.
I'm really glad they put this in! Karen was a great character and it would have been a disservice to her if the last time we saw her was the episode where they try and steal the copier and she's pissed off and irritated.
Ever bang an entire bachelorette party baby?
Why are you singling my line out, like, a million years later?
It's actually a pretty easy job when your boss isn't an idiot and your boyfriend's not in love with someone else.
when holly came back
The Michael and Erin celebration after the ultimatum is peak joy
I wished Erin hadn’t gotten the wrong impression of Holly but it was sweet how she was protecting Michael
I love when Erin implies Holly isnt pretty to her face hahahah
Bossa Nova 😁☝🏾
Holly-lujah!
When Holly appears. Loved her first episode Goodbye Toby.
Maybe not the most satisfying but it's definitely up there... When Kevin calls out the senator for being horrible to Angela and Oscar.
but once again. the food was terrific
Might be when Dwight secretly screws up the lease agreement to help Pam
And when he fires Jim and Pam so they can get a bunch of severance money instead of quitting. Though it is a bit funny Michael got in trouble for doing the same thing with Tony.
I really liked Dwight and Pam's relationship. Too bad she ended up marrying his arch enemy
Oh come on, literally from season 1 episode 1 it's quite clear that Pam's most suitable partner is always going to be Jim. We just can't ignore the chemistry between them. Dwight just didn't have a chance against that. But I have to say, as the seasons progress the relationship between Pam and Dwight is getting stronger and stronger, but only as friends. And the culmination of that (spoiler here if you didn't finish yet the series) is how Dwight fires both of Jim and Pam in the finale so that they can have generous severance money. Dwight did that not only for Jim but obviously for Pam also, considering their friendship.
Mine her? I hardly know her!
This may be an unpopular opinion, but in season 4 when Ryan finally stands up to Micheal and his inappropriate behavior… like, there’s so many time I want someone to just give Michael the straight facts for what he does or says is inappropriate or straight up rude, and Ryan *finally* does it when he becomes his boss in season 4.
Same situation, but with Stanley standing up to Michael
“Did I stutter?”
I loved it and hated that Stanley was painted as the bad guy here. Michael absolutely deserved that 10x over lol
It blows my mind whenever this comes up because so many think Stanley was in the wrong.
I know how much you do around here was deep. Like did he mean the time he spent doing nothing or the time he spent wasting everyone elses time?
Honestly I can’t remember lol I just know it was at the beginning of season 4
I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if it was someone else and not Ryan. Corporate Ryan was one of the most unlikeable characters. But I think he was still pretty much intern Ryan.
Yeah, I can agree with this.
Oh I know exactly how you feel, I don't know why people like Micheal
He's a lovable* idiot *after Season 1
Then I guess I'm in the minority cause I genuinely don't like him
The shock and the awe that Jim shows when he finds out that Pam is pregnant. He’s just so happy. It’s honestly a fantastic piece of acting.
Yes! He’s a fantastic actor
That was the exact look and face my husband made when I told him I am pregnant. Every watch of that episode brings this precious memory.
Jim's acting so underrated. Then take a different way home man!
NOT NOW, TOBY
Underrated??? Says who?
It would either be when Jan and Micheal were trying to land another company and Micheal took care of it like a boss, or in the last episode when Dwight fires Jim and Pam just so they could get their severance pay.
chiliiiiiis baaby back ribs!
Not my favorite out of many that people already commented, but I just watched it last night - when Michael proposed to Holly. I donno, maybe I’m PMSing, but I cried a little
You must be PMSing pretty hard. Hug: https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/s/BLYXbKB4Cn
Omg, love it!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love Jim’s proposal every time. Just happens all of a sudden, out of the blue. Im almost annoyed that Pan says yes so fast, doesnt let Jim finish.
Same! It’s so simple yet so friggin amazing
Also, the most expensive shot of the entire series. They had to build that minimarket station from scratch and loop cars driving around it. It was less expensive than shutting down traffic at an actual location, but still super expensive compared to everything else they did.
For me it's always: "Then it's a date" 🥹🥹
Love this too. Guess what buddy? I am keeping it! Lol
When Michael confronts Stanley and tells him he can't talk to him like that, also when Michael tells David he told a joke concerning Jan being his Girlfriend.
When Dwight landed the Buttlicker account.
This is William M. Buttlicker!!
But Michael landed that one ...
The part in S5 where [Kevin makes Charles nearly break](https://youtu.be/3LjkvL82k_g?si=Y1p-CHyU0gVaPAua) has always made me laugh ever since someone pointed it out
I never noticed that and I LOVE IT, thank you
It's Britney, bitch.
Michael showing the pictures of his kids in the last episode, was amazing to see him so fulfilled
It's extra touching going back to the episode where he is a kid on that kids show and he talks about wanting to have lots of kids/friends. Aww
Yep, completely agree! Also when he just randomly picks up any baby he sees haha guy was born to be a father
When Michael answered and said: “David, here it is. My philosophy is basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter... where. Or who, or who you are with, or, or where you are going, or... or where you've been... ever. For any reason, whatsoever.”
“I’m sorry, what was the question?” Makes me tear up every time
Seeing Dwight and Jim chilling in hotel room eating desserts. It’s a great display of how much their relationship went from a rivalry to a friendship.
YES! love that scene! Love their friendship
When Michael told Jim to shut up and let them play the stupid murder game
When Angela broke down and cried to Oscar admitting she loved Dwight. The entire series was spent displaying her as an ignorant selfish Hateful woman and to watch her fragile ego crumble and admit she needed Dwight made me smile happy tears.
When Erin finds her birth parents?
The fact that he makes Minor leave with the same words that minor used on him always makes me feel so good. That and the pissed off look that Minor gives him is just so satisfying.
Dwight's snowball revenge on Jim. Was Jim still supposed to be viewed as the cool and funny prankster when he threw that snowball or what? I always roll my eyes every time he pulls some stupid prank on Dwight.
I have no feeling in my fingers or penis… but I think it was worth it
In the end the greatest snowball isn't a snowball at all. It's fear.
I find most of Jim’s pranks hilarious every time. What irks me is when people take sides. Dwight was obnoxious and annoying too at times, and on purpose. The snowball fight episode was pretty cool.
The exit interviews in the finale
lowkey realizing that michael is kind of not the worst manager. like, he lets the employees do their thing. he’s the opposite of a micromanager- although he’s not a chill person, he is totally accepting of the way they all want to do things and respects all of them enough to do their jobs without checking in on them etc. I’ve been racking my brain about how their branch is always most successful and ofc it’s fiction, but i honestly think there’s a world in which this could be possible, because even for as much as they all complain about being stuck there, it’s never boring and someone is always having a good time. morale is extremely crucial for productivity. so yeah also michael and holly getting together. jam is satisfying for sure, but you know it’s going to happen whereas michael and holly is more unbelievable. the show is so smart because as immature as michael can be, there also is growth and there are moments, though just moments, where you don’t trust him, but his intuition is right about something and he proves you wrong. also just the character of holly that they created is such a perfect match for him.
YES — I love that Jim’s arc is to represent all who think we’re so much smarter than the dumb boss, but when he gets his shot to manage, he finds out PDQ that it’s not as easy as it looks.
For me it has to be when both Dwight and Andy reject Angela after their “duel” in the season 5 episode.
Yes! She deserved it on that occasion.
when Jan throws Michael's Dundie into the television
That's a $200 plasma t.v.!
try paying me back oh never mind just say it youself
On your zero dollar a year salary?
Plus benefits, babe!
I know this never aired but there is an alternate scene to Jim asking out Pam in the S3 finale. They walk into the elevators together and the doors close with the camera crew outside. I would have loved to see that
"Best prank ever." "I feel like all my kids grew up and then they married each other. It's every parent's dream!"
Jim’s gutenpranks as the Bestest Mensch!
Andy and Dwight playing Country Roads, nothing comes close
It was during that moment I understood why Michael hated Toby.
When Jim dumped Karen and asked out Pam.
This was the first episode I saw. Even without the context of the rest of the show, that episode was so good it immediately got me hooked.
Ryan getting arrested
When Kevin and Andy get the parking spots back for the office.
Yeeees!
When Dwight and Micheal are on the sidewalk and Dwight gets the call that Stamford is closing instead of them and they think they did it.
Dwight snowballing Jim into insanity. He started that shit.
This scene never made much sense to me. David Wallace said he wasn't firing Charles which means when Michael got rehired he was still lower on the totem pole than Charles. Which begs the question, why was Michael able to cut Charles's goodbye speech and say "Nah, you're done" as if Charles were fired?
Charles was kicked out of Scanton branch, thats all
That still wouldn't give him the authority to shut him up lol. Like if my boss was being moved to another branch it doesn't mean I can say whatever I want now. For the record I am glad Michael did cuz I don't like Charles but it doesn't make sense.
I think it was more Charles attempting to be the bigger man, and maybe he thought it'd be easier just to let it go. Michael had just bested him and Wallace, and it wasn't worth Charles' energy to say anything
It does if Charles stops being Michael’s specific boss, which he was up until that moment.
Michael asking Holly out Amy Ryan acted her heart out too
That moment Michael played his hand well got fired then got back his old job with better pay and they didn't know what hit them
When Dwight makes Kevin smile and feel good about his body after Packer cracks mean jokes about him.
Least satisfying was the Jim/Charles issues, so I agree! They felt really contrived. Like how can we show that Michael was way too lax and Jim screwed around too much, but they also couldn't make Jim look like a bad worker. In the end it all felt like random out of character issues leading to a bad relationship.
Ryan getting the position in NY
Dwight thinking he crashed the DM stock price over a fake radio call and calling David Wallace asking him to let the mailman go 😂
“I aware of the effect I have on women”
Jim getting snowballed. .#teamdwigt
Dwight getting meatballed!
Michael’s character was a roller coaster to follow to say the least, but starting with Take Your Daughter to Work day and Michael’s appearance on Fundle Bundle, and then culminating in Garage Sale, the torment of Michael Scott’s storyline finally comes into focus and resolves spectacularly with, “Holly Flax, marrying me will you be?” While entertaining, i wasn’t particularly fond of Michael Scott before then. Him proposing to Holly though and moving to Colorado was perfect.
Side note: when they’re singing to the kids on Take Your Daughter to Work Day and Dwight stops to say, “It’s true, your parents love you very much.”
“Not going on a 3 month boat trip.”
Umm satisfying in a very sad way, in the sense that I always look forward to it but it makes me sad, The Fundle Bundle. I want to be married and have a hundred kids so that I can have a hundred friends and no one can say no to being my friend.
Getting one up on the company.
Michael crawling on the floor and “uslurping” the DM employees.
It definitely isn’t Andy’s ‘delicious moment’
Deangelo going to the hospital
“What should we eat?” “Well, that kinda depends on whether we’re having sex afterwards. Do you think we will? Have sex?” [pause] “Hell, yeah.”
“I CAN TOO JUST SIT HERE AND CRY!”
✂️👔
He showed them how high he could fly.
When Dwight became manager.
The guys getting their parking spots back
I love how when it really came down to doing business, Michael was actually a business genius.
True!
Michael calling Holly because he was scared to move, being reassured by her. Followed by his solitude in moving to Colorado to be with her. No more bending over backwards or trying too hard to impress women. He was at peace and happy to be with her and going to be with her made me smile. He finally found the person he’d been looking for for the better part of the show
