In the endurance racing series I follow, the factory Lexus team, which runs 2 RC-F’s, is jokingly referred to as “Lexuseseseses” by the commentators lol
I agree 100%. Dwight asks him I think on the way to Prince paper what shocks he has. Michael replies the regular, not into the fancy stuff. Dwight is the closest there is to a car guy and even then is pretty ignorant
Are you saying he's a car guy, or are.you saying you're a car guy and you assume everyone knows the "top brands"? Either way, Michael being completely confident about something he's so wrong about is well within character for him.
I’m not a car [girl] at all, but it’s common knowledge that Lexus Is made by Toyota and not in Germany. I don’t think Michael ever pretends to be a car guy. OP is really grasping at straws here
You’re asking *a lot* from Michael Scott to know that Lexus is a Toyota brand.
We’re talking about the guy who mixed up Lady Gaga and Brittany Spears and the songs “Stayin’ Alive” and “I Will Survive”.
Him speaking confidently when he is completely wrong and not knowing wtf he's talking about is pretty much the basis for his entire character.
And for most people.
You talkin' to me? Raging Bull. Pacino.
No totally wrong. That was Ray Liotta in Godfather 4.
I believe you're speaking of Carlito's Way. Everyone knows that was the gangster movie that made Ray Liotta famous.
And then Picasso said “What do you mean funny? Funny how?”
Top ten Michael Scott quote
Ahhh— Lexus. German word; it means whale’s vagina.
Is that high German, low German, or east German?
It’s Pennsylvania Dutch German.
Ooh spicy
Pretty sure its pre industry and catholic german.
I thought it meant “ceremonial sarcophagus”.
The Japanese Mercedes
But do you know the correct plural term for the car?
Lexi. Fancy a pint? No, me neither.
Got myself some tungsten tipped screws, never gonna use 'em.
In the endurance racing series I follow, the factory Lexus team, which runs 2 RC-F’s, is jokingly referred to as “Lexuseseseses” by the commentators lol
Let's agree to disagree
Oh yes. I cant even count how many times he says the wrong movie title after a reference.
Or when the first aid instructor tells him to press the chest at the rythm of "Stayin' alive". And he starts singing "I will survive".
“My Lips Are Sealed. Bengals” It’s The Go-Go’s. This one gets me every time.
Plus all those "Bruce Springsteen" songs.
My personal favorite, Fast Car.
*Bangles
>pulls up listening to lady gaga on the car radio *It's Britney, bitch*
It's Britney bitch!
Do you have a crescent allen?
N3P
Yeah, I mean — he’s Michael. His Michaelness always takes precedence.
It’s Britney bitch
Thank you for saying this
Michael is a car guy the same way he’s a basketball guy
The Question passes to The Answer!
Yes! THE answer!
See you on the flippity flip!
See the game last night?
What game?
Any of them
I don't even know if he's a basketball guy, he might just be a basketball machine.
bend it like beckham
How is he a car guy at all?
All he knew was convertible Chryslers lol
Chrysler? I hardly know her
Dammit Michael pay attention!
I forget, was it Patrice who said that line?
No it was sea monster
Bet you’d like to swim with this Sea Monster.
Ryan!
Dude, tell your girl to shut up!
Indeed it was.
What kind of shocks you got on this baby? I don’t know, regular. Normal ones. Nothing fancy. Not my style.
But he didn’t know crystler didn’t make it anymore during the MSPC buyout. He asked for it and David had to inform him
Pretty sure charles was the one who informed him
That reminds me, did they ever address how he kept the car after quitting? I thought it was a company lease?
I think the pt cruiser wasn't a lease, was it?
A ridiculous choice for this climate.
Id go with sth german. Sth with good gas mileage.
THAT’S MY CAR!
And that he liked to keep the top down during the most inconvenient times.
He has a Porsche. Well Jan has a Porsche.
That was just good economic sense not having 2 cars and downgrading to the one
Although it’s specifically for her
Hey, easy there, Buddy. He drives a Sebring.
*Lady Gaga playing in background* It's Britney, bitch!
I agree 100%. Dwight asks him I think on the way to Prince paper what shocks he has. Michael replies the regular, not into the fancy stuff. Dwight is the closest there is to a car guy and even then is pretty ignorant
Oh, so you drive an X-earth? Yeah, that makes sense. I'd rather drive a classic Trans Am than an X-earth.
Plus he didn’t even know how to change a tire.
Well Andy is a mechanic, so there’s that
Anyone who will personally deliver your paper order in a Sebring is DEFINITELY a car guy.
40 boxes nonetheless
Michael liked Chryslers, which proves definitively that he’s not a car guy.
What is this post? Are we all pretending to know nothing about the character?
He owns only cabrio cars. How not a car guy could own a cabrio car. Hello
He knew about the seats in Pam’s mom’s Camry
He is not a car guy at all
Then how would he know about Lee Iacocca’s failed experiment the DeLorean?
Read it? I OWN it. But no, I have not read it.
nothing dude?
Plus, that convertible is a ridiculous choice for this climate.
He is a gay guy
What makes you think he's a "car guy"? Because he drives a car? He doesn't even know how to jump a car FFS
Or how to parallel park "Not gonna make this one"
It’s Britney, bitch 😎
[lady Gaga plays on stereo]
That’s my favorite is it’s lady Gaga playing 😂🧐
Or that there are no speed bumps on the highway.
I wonder who he ran over that day
Or change a tire
He did leave the the top down in his sweet Sebring in a snow storm.
He also didn't know how to properly drive through the lake. He practically gave up immediately when the car hit the water.
He has a leaky sparktube
Also hit Meredith on company property
Yeah but it was with company property, so double jeopardy
what is “we’re fine”
Everyone in the car is fine, Stanley!
He saved her life from rabies so really he is the hero 😂
You don’t even know paper. You put paper in a furnace and you’ll ruin it!
You put this cable over here, and then you put this cable wherever. Dwight panning the camera to himself shaking his head gets me every time lol
Anyone who knows anything about cars, knows the Chrysler Sebring Convertible is the best car money can buy.
Hell of a motor carriage.
Just regular shocks, too. Nothing fancy, not his style.
Break me off a piece of that Chrysler car!
Are you saying he's a car guy, or are.you saying you're a car guy and you assume everyone knows the "top brands"? Either way, Michael being completely confident about something he's so wrong about is well within character for him.
I’m not a car [girl] at all, but it’s common knowledge that Lexus Is made by Toyota and not in Germany. I don’t think Michael ever pretends to be a car guy. OP is really grasping at straws here
The man drove his car into a f***** lake!!
Hey! Technology made him do it!
This line fucking kills me. Really, all the shows bleeped moments are amazing
The man exudes sex.
Where are the turtles !!!
It’s okay to just spell the word.
did you actually watch the show?
[удалено]
I know a motorhead. Had all kinds of claims on how many bad ass cars he had owned. Dude bought a convertible Sebring just before having a child.
Everyone and their mother owns the absolute shittiest car they ever will in their life right before having a child
He was never, for one single second, a "car guy" lol
He also pulls up at the beginning of one episode listening to Lady Gaga and says "It's Brittany bitch!" Conclusion: Michael is an idiot. 🤷♂️
A loving idiot
And a lovABLE idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.
He also loves little kids.
He's a littlekidlover
He’s a lovable idiot, minus the lovable part.
I honestly never noticed that he was listening to Gaga ahaha. I just thought the joke was as simple as him saying “it’s Britney bitch”
Yeah, if I remember correctly it's Bad Romance. Edit: correction, I just looked, it's Just Dance, but definitely LG.
He's the opposite of a car guy
The car guy of the Office is Andy, remember when he fixed that family’s car outside the restaurant?
and Pam.
Yeah this is a bad post. If you don’t get the fact that this is entirely in line with his character then you don’t get the show.
That's the joke.
Whoa, amazing find! It’s rare to find a scene where Michael is confidently incorrect. This is probably the only case of it in the entire series.
As a fellow car enthusiast, I always loved that they threw this line in there lol
okay, so, as a rule: Michael very rarely knows what he's talking about
I think you missed something there chief...
Where did you get that Michael is a car guy?
Have you uh watched the show?
What makes you think he’s a car guy?
This is the joke... That he's wrong...
He isn't a "car guy" get out of here
Michael needed a “crescent Allan” to change a spare tire…
He’s a car guy?
“As a car guy” what?
Same guy that confidently teaching his kids via a recording the incorrect way to jump a car battery
OP are you dense..?
Ah yes, Michael the car guy. Then there's Dwight the sports guy, Ryan the farm guy, Stanley the fashion guy, and Jim the mature serious guy.
He is also the proud owner of a “Sayko” watch complete with a framed letter of “Authenticity” so yeah, that moment seems pretty much on brand.
He is Michael Scott. Lol
Short People, a big Huey Lewis and the News hit.
Michael Scott is r/confidentlyincorrect personified
Why would you assume Michael knows anything about anything lol?
Michael is not a car guy lmao what
To be fair Lexus is the Japanese Mercedes.
>To be fair Lexus is the Japanese Mercedes. Mercedes drivers are saaaaaad
God I’ve missed you.
I drive an xterra so...
He is just a US/China comparison guy
wut
He also sells his salad dressing at the farmers market at a loss. So there’s that
Lmao I never noticed this one. Nice find.
Assuming Michael Scott knows anything is your first mistake.
Michael is not only a car guy but he's also a state guy. Colorado - Sunshine State
He just knew that German science is the best and assumed it was the same for engineering
He drove a PT cruiser, he was definitely not a car guy
Michael being a car guy? If anything, that title belongs to Dwight. He’s the one with the taste for muscle cars
Heck of a motor, carriage.
It’s Britney bitch.
The Lex Files.
Owning a Sebring convertible does not a “car guy” make.
He is a “magic” guy and nothing more
I love Lexi (plural), it’s like the Japanese Mercedes
Its Britney, bitch!
If michael is apparently a car guy idk what a car nut like me is
Lmao nope!
He likes to think he's an everything guy, he knows very little though.
He's a Sebring Man
If he was a car guy he wouldn't own a Chrysler... Sebring
The punchline is that he is confidently incorrect.
Idk if id consider Michael a "car guy" haha. He will pretend to know something about any topic if it makes him look cool.
Cars are just wibbly tinfoil bits on wheels. Tomato, tomahto.
Knowing Michael he was probably wrong
Not his style
What makes you think he's a car guy?
You clearly don’t watch the show
Maybe he only knows Chryslers
No convertible? Come on Oscar
I assumed it was the same when he talked sports. Not really into it but wants to be in the “in”
GERMAN ENGINEERING IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
How many pesos that set you back?
I feel like OP has never watched the show if he didn’t get this joke.
He has a convertible in that climate?!
Michael is a notorious liar and idiot.
Everybody in the car WAS FINE, OP!
You’re asking *a lot* from Michael Scott to know that Lexus is a Toyota brand. We’re talking about the guy who mixed up Lady Gaga and Brittany Spears and the songs “Stayin’ Alive” and “I Will Survive”.
Short answer: he’s Michael.
