  • Michael Scott is a strangely complex character. There are a lot of implications that kind of explain why he is the way that he is. Is he actually the world's best boss? Let's find out.

      OK Bill. I love the video but IMHO i think you missed an important piece. There is another character who Micheal looked up to. He sees this character as the cool guy ( the sterotypical toxic male behaviours and all) he is someone who Michael would have looked up to in highschool. who everyone likes, and he patterns himself after. Once he realizes this character isn't all he is cracked up to be and is actually liked at all moves away from acting like him. That character is outside Sales Rep Todd Packer.

    In fairness, it was not unethical for corporate to make Toby Michael's counselor. It was a conflict of interest because of how Michael treated Toby but Toby had never actually mistreated Michael and he even made an honest effort to help Michael.

      It's considered "unethical" in the therapy/counseling world to have a dual-relationship with a client.

      @@10KProductions True but at the same time, Toby's job as HR permits him to do this. Would it be unethical if he were giving counseling to someone like Oscar or Kevin?

      Also yes. Counselors aren’t supposed to have any prior or post relationships of any kind with their clients.

    Aggressive title but very very very very very good video. Thank you. This is maybe the first Office video ive seen on UA-cam that represents the next level of analysis for the series that can see it catch up with the S tier of shows (aka the “Golden Age of TV” that began with The Sopranos). This is analysis that wasnt necessarily considered even by the creators at the time but still apply nonetheless and signify a certain scholarship around the show that only exists for a few series so far. That was possibly the most pretentious sentence ive ever written but that just goes to show how advanced this video is compared to the run of the mill office analysis videos on here. Thank you, sincerely

    great vid as always. instant click when I see you posted. one thing I did disagree with is around the 9:30 mark when you said Michael was fully supportive of Jims love for Pam. I agree with the point your making, how Michael treating the office as a family grew to become what they love him for, but I don't think Jims crush is the best example. Michael repeatedly refused to acknowledge their relationship for a good when in the beginning, ("I have some experience in office romance" "who, pam?" "yes, were still dating") and kinda outwardly had a crush on pam.
    don't mean to come across as rude at all, just wanted to give my two cents! Hope to see more office content!!
