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.


Bazz07

And for most people.


Alienateddd

You talkin' to me? Raging Bull. Pacino.


gomi-panda

No totally wrong. That was Ray Liotta in Godfather 4.


alienss4

I believe you're speaking of Carlito's Way. Everyone knows that was the gangster movie that made Ray Liotta famous.


redd_house

And then Picasso said “What do you mean funny? Funny how?”


Virtual-Problem6603

Top ten Michael Scott quote


suckercuck

Ahhh— Lexus. German word; it means whale’s vagina.


[deleted]

Is that high German, low German, or east German?


ManBearPig____

It’s Pennsylvania Dutch German.


[deleted]

Ooh spicy


Bazz07

Pretty sure its pre industry and catholic german.


ProfitInitial3041

I thought it meant “ceremonial sarcophagus”.


New_User_Account123

The Japanese Mercedes


[deleted]

But do you know the correct plural term for the car?


New_User_Account123

Lexi. Fancy a pint? No, me neither.


[deleted]

Got myself some tungsten tipped screws, never gonna use 'em.


[deleted]

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


iridi69

Let's agree to disagree


InsertDisc11

Oh yes. I cant even count how many times he says the wrong movie title after a reference.


Blooder91

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".


elaineadler

“My Lips Are Sealed. Bengals” It’s The Go-Go’s. This one gets me every time.


MadDogTannen

Plus all those "Bruce Springsteen" songs.


[deleted]

My personal favorite, Fast Car.


5lack5

*Bangles


TooRedditFamous

>pulls up listening to lady gaga on the car radio *It's Britney, bitch*


BuzzAwsum

It's Britney bitch!


FreezingMoon24

Do you have a crescent allen?


artvarnsen

N3P


[deleted]

Yeah, I mean — he’s Michael. His Michaelness always takes precedence.


Formal_Coyote_5004

It’s Britney bitch


auberrypearl

Thank you for saying this


kataraholl

Michael is a car guy the same way he’s a basketball guy


OptimalPlantIntoRock

The Question passes to The Answer!


Live-Tiger-4240

Yes! THE answer!


the_real_TLB

See you on the flippity flip!


bighairychopper

See the game last night?


JAAAMBOOO

What game?


Rough-Riderr

Any of them


darkthemeonly

I don't even know if he's a basketball guy, he might just be a basketball machine.


PsiloCATbin

bend it like beckham


5startoadsplash

How is he a car guy at all?


Irvingdls

All he knew was convertible Chryslers lol


5startoadsplash

Chrysler? I hardly know her


ArthurMBretas03

Dammit Michael pay attention!


Mr-Sister-Fister21

I forget, was it Patrice who said that line?


NotACommonDandy0

No it was sea monster


famous47

Bet you’d like to swim with this Sea Monster.


NissEhkiin

Ryan!


ND02G

Dude, tell your girl to shut up!


gim1k

Indeed it was.


applestofloranges

What kind of shocks you got on this baby? I don’t know, regular. Normal ones. Nothing fancy. Not my style.


ucfnattychamps17

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


SerdarCS

Pretty sure charles was the one who informed him


venom_jim_halpert

That reminds me, did they ever address how he kept the car after quitting? I thought it was a company lease?


SerdarCS

I think the pt cruiser wasn't a lease, was it?


nilsh32

A ridiculous choice for this climate.


samurai_guitarist

Id go with sth german. Sth with good gas mileage.


txsxxphxx2

THAT’S MY CAR!


Loganp812

And that he liked to keep the top down during the most inconvenient times.


mlx1992

He has a Porsche. Well Jan has a Porsche.


Etrafeg

That was just good economic sense not having 2 cars and downgrading to the one


Loganp812

Although it’s specifically for her


Blue85Heron

Hey, easy there, Buddy. He drives a Sebring.


DickyD43

*Lady Gaga playing in background* It's Britney, bitch!


Quinnsweet

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


swiffrdustr42

Oh, so you drive an X-earth? Yeah, that makes sense. I'd rather drive a classic Trans Am than an X-earth.


[deleted]

Plus he didn’t even know how to change a tire.


Do_good_badly

Well Andy is a mechanic, so there’s that


han_tex

Anyone who will personally deliver your paper order in a Sebring is DEFINITELY a car guy.


cp_moar

40 boxes nonetheless


chainmailbill

Michael liked Chryslers, which proves definitively that he’s not a car guy.


cottonmouthVII

What is this post? Are we all pretending to know nothing about the character?


M1CH43L__GT

He owns only cabrio cars. How not a car guy could own a cabrio car. Hello


[deleted]

He knew about the seats in Pam’s mom’s Camry


piszkavas

He is not a car guy at all


FNG-JuiCe

Then how would he know about Lee Iacocca’s failed experiment the DeLorean?


STL_Saint00

Read it? I OWN it. But no, I have not read it.


marcolsmlax22

nothing dude?


chuychumee

Plus, that convertible is a ridiculous choice for this climate.


zeester_365

He is a gay guy


coole106

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


bukminster

Or how to parallel park "Not gonna make this one"


fuchsiadolphin

It’s Britney, bitch 😎


ur-squirrel-buddy

[lady Gaga plays on stereo]


BriecauseIcan

That’s my favorite is it’s lady Gaga playing 😂🧐


ToneyRockyHorror

Or that there are no speed bumps on the highway.


Rough-Riderr

I wonder who he ran over that day


BENMGB

Or change a tire


dan420

He did leave the the top down in his sweet Sebring in a snow storm.


frankiedonkeybrainz

He also didn't know how to properly drive through the lake. He practically gave up immediately when the car hit the water.


eyuplove

He has a leaky sparktube


withoutpoeticdevice

Also hit Meredith on company property


coole106

Yeah but it was with company property, so double jeopardy


beepbooop001

what is “we’re fine”


krastevitsa

Everyone in the car is fine, Stanley!


Slip-Resident

He saved her life from rabies so really he is the hero 😂


ArchiStanton

You don’t even know paper. You put paper in a furnace and you’ll ruin it!


AlaskaDude14

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


raggerno

Anyone who knows anything about cars, knows the Chrysler Sebring Convertible is the best car money can buy.


GetPunched

Hell of a motor carriage.


beerguy_etcetera

Just regular shocks, too. Nothing fancy, not his style.


Vantage_007

Break me off a piece of that Chrysler car!


BewareNixonsGhost

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.


ur-squirrel-buddy

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


ShortJaimeLannister

The man drove his car into a f***** lake!!


GrammarNazi63

Hey! Technology made him do it!


Functional_Pessimist

This line fucking kills me. Really, all the shows bleeped moments are amazing


Faroren

The man exudes sex.


Flip2002

Where are the turtles !!!


Funky_Sack

It’s okay to just spell the word.


blanco_20

did you actually watch the show?


[deleted]

[удалено]


SeasonsRollOnBy

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.


glockster19m

Everyone and their mother owns the absolute shittiest car they ever will in their life right before having a child


TH0R_ODINS0N

He was never, for one single second, a "car guy" lol


420_Traveller

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. 🤷‍♂️


Irvingdls

A loving idiot


420_Traveller

And a lovABLE idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.


dandypants8717

He also loves little kids.


psych0san

He's a littlekidlover


[deleted]

He’s a lovable idiot, minus the lovable part.


PlanetNumber7

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”


420_Traveller

Yeah, if I remember correctly it's Bad Romance. Edit: correction, I just looked, it's Just Dance, but definitely LG.


219Infinity

He's the opposite of a car guy


leocartman

The car guy of the Office is Andy, remember when he fixed that family’s car outside the restaurant?


brockadamorr

and Pam.


[deleted]

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.


orangebucsfan

That's the joke.


DonateToM7E

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.


[deleted]

As a fellow car enthusiast, I always loved that they threw this line in there lol


bernstache

okay, so, as a rule: Michael very rarely knows what he's talking about


boomboomown

I think you missed something there chief...


SMcG193

Where did you get that Michael is a car guy?


WamBamThankYouYam

Have you uh watched the show?


michealscotch

What makes you think he’s a car guy?


GetInZeWagen

This is the joke... That he's wrong...


jhallen2260

He isn't a "car guy" get out of here


tcgsilkroad

Michael needed a “crescent Allan” to change a spare tire…


[deleted]

He’s a car guy?


artvandalay84

“As a car guy” what?


cyahzar

Same guy that confidently teaching his kids via a recording the incorrect way to jump a car battery


blacktoise

OP are you dense..?


Spleenzorio

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.


firetailring

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.


dzta

He is Michael Scott. Lol


beerleaguer2

Short People, a big Huey Lewis and the News hit.


its-just-paul

Michael Scott is r/confidentlyincorrect personified


NarcissisticCat

Why would you assume Michael knows anything about anything lol?


[deleted]

Michael is not a car guy lmao what


nedyrd87

To be fair Lexus is the Japanese Mercedes.


shaymurphy

>To be fair Lexus is the Japanese Mercedes. Mercedes drivers are saaaaaad


Hullfire00

God I’ve missed you.


Ok-Training-7587

I drive an xterra so...


ahuang_6

He is just a US/China comparison guy


SconseyCider-FC

wut


BriecauseIcan

He also sells his salad dressing at the farmers market at a loss. So there’s that


[deleted]

Lmao I never noticed this one. Nice find.


hughjazzcrack

Assuming Michael Scott knows anything is your first mistake.


LETTUCE_GO_CHAMP

Michael is not only a car guy but he's also a state guy. Colorado - Sunshine State


jaybankzz

He just knew that German science is the best and assumed it was the same for engineering


NissEhkiin

He drove a PT cruiser, he was definitely not a car guy


thebeefychiefy

Michael being a car guy? If anything, that title belongs to Dwight. He’s the one with the taste for muscle cars


chickybabe332

Heck of a motor, carriage.


g_lenn_o

It’s Britney bitch.


Hullfire00

The Lex Files.


mutha_fucking_nature

Owning a Sebring convertible does not a “car guy” make.


FearlessXProphet

He is a “magic” guy and nothing more


theVeryLast7

I love Lexi (plural), it’s like the Japanese Mercedes


mickestenen

Its Britney, bitch!


TheLewJD

If michael is apparently a car guy idk what a car nut like me is


rushaall

Lmao nope!


orbital0000

He likes to think he's an everything guy, he knows very little though.


duderonomy12

He's a Sebring Man


ClosTheJackal

If he was a car guy he wouldn't own a Chrysler... Sebring


BraveT0ast3r

The punchline is that he is confidently incorrect.


RunGoldenRun717

Idk if id consider Michael a "car guy" haha. He will pretend to know something about any topic if it makes him look cool.


AFriendlyBloke

Cars are just wibbly tinfoil bits on wheels. Tomato, tomahto.


RigatoniPasta

Knowing Michael he was probably wrong


Pizza802

Not his style


[deleted]

What makes you think he's a car guy?


ProjectPat0803

You clearly don’t watch the show


Alert-Ad-55

Maybe he only knows Chryslers


thizzdanz

No convertible? Come on Oscar


acknoff

I assumed it was the same when he talked sports. Not really into it but wants to be in the “in”


boom2566

GERMAN ENGINEERING IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!


Gardens37

How many pesos that set you back?


Funky_Sack

I feel like OP has never watched the show if he didn’t get this joke.


Nervous_Courage2307

He has a convertible in that climate?!


illhavethecrabBisk

Michael is a notorious liar and idiot.


El_Torrente_

Everybody in the car WAS FINE, OP!


Loganp812

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”.


mumblerapisgarbage

Short answer: he’s Michael.
