Even when Michael quits his job, and when he hears David Wallace say Michael was never considered for Jans job he’s respectful. Michael has so many flaws but even more redeeming qualities. Such a wonderfully written and performed character.
I absolutely love how Michael relocates to the opposite side of the table to completely disassociate himself from Dwight when he senses that the meeting is going badly.
You missed that entirely. Michael went to the other side to make them ON Dwight’s side. He took over their judgement and softened the punishment from firing to something much more trivial.
@@aps-pictures9335 No, I didn't. You're giving Michael way too much credit. He panicked and acted in his own best interests. Michael is not a subtle person. Ultimately, his actions ended up helping Dwight, but that wasn't his intention in the specific moment I referenced.
"After 15 years of service here. That doesn't seem right to me, that doesn't seem fair and I think that I've earned more than that" I'm not going to lie I felt that.
Dunder Mifflin is hilariously mismanaged. 1. Constantly trying to close the Scranton branch, their consistently best performing branch 2. Company going bankrupt, they take their executives to a top-tier Manhattan hotel in a limousine each, to a public investor meeting More and more hilariousness everywhere
Eh, it only became the best branch after the merger when they trimmed the budget (people quitting cuz of Michael) and maintained the clients that came over. However it is impressive they kept most of the clients while gaining even more.
Kind of like the power company in my city had massive outages leaving millions without power for weeks, while the CEO was spending millions on private jets, and lobster. They also are now charging people more for "upgrades"

@@hasselett wellll, if it had been someone other than their top sales rep... yeah, fired. They’re not gonna fire their biggest earner unless there’s zero way around it.

I’m 37 years old and after 10 years working in an office setting similar to this I can honestly say that having a boss like Michael Scott would be amazing. He genuinely cares about each of his employees and compared to the supervisors I have had I would take Michael any day. He is unorthodox and sometimes childish with his methods but he is a good person and would be a lot of fun as a boss.
That's why they wrote David Brent more sympathetic and caring, closer to what Michael was like actually, in the original UK version. Because he wasn't a bad guy. He was a bit silly, starry eyed and childish, but he wasn't 'the worst boss', something that the media really started to push after the first series. If you watch the UK one(I remember taping it on video when it was out first since we have BBC in Ireland) you will see a difference between the portrayals of him. I spent years in college working in call centres and offices and I have had some absolutely awful wankers for managers one or two genuine cunts. I'd love someone like Michael for sure. Kindness is sadly in short supply in this world. You could do worse than be nice towards your employees.
well said. I think most real world bosses learn pretty quickly that they cant be friendly with their employees and still be able to have some level of control over their department/ make their direct supervisors happy. If you are caring and kind towards a subordinate it makes it really tough when you have to inevitably be a strict manager. There has to be some level of respect/fear towards the person in charge or nobody will work. But its why I keep coming back to the show. Makes us all laugh about real worlld/everyday things
That whole build up of Michael’s frustrations to dealing with Charles and David completely blowing him off and avoiding him, that moment was just so good
@@Pendarr as much as I love Michael it was a pretty stupid reason to quit..... the company was failing and all he cares about is his 15th anniversary party.....and being called out
13:28 and at that exact moment, Michael realised that Wallace in fact did not get it. He still thinks the reason Michael was upset and why he drove all the way to New York is because he cancelled the party (and the figs) without telling him and not because he deserves to be treated with more respect after 15 years at DM. He felt that there's no point in talking sense into Wallace anymore because of Charles and the fact that he's constantly tried to avoid him for the entire day and he quits. Throughout the run of the show Michael was always portrayed as a goofball and immature. But when he got it right, goodness did he got it very right. And this is one of those moments. He's had it with being the butt of the joke and did the right thing.
It's a fascinating thought, if Michael was a less lonely individual in his personal life, then he would have a lot more moments of clarity like this and when he got Pam to try again after MSPC's horrid first day
"You have no idea how high i can fly" These are words that lets you know about the true *Michael Scott*. One of the most successful managers ever in Dunder Mifflin
I think Wallace did genuinely like him though. Look at when they read his deposition when Jan was suing them. He tried his best to defend Michael even when he wasn't in the room for it.
People never seemed to understand that Michael wasn't just complaining about him loosing his 15th anniversary party. He quit because he realized he was being treated as a child. He wanted the respect he deserved from David and nothing else. The fact that David tried to calm him down by only giving him his party was what made Michael finally realize
That and Charles was put in his position to micromanage Michael, and take away whatever power he once had at his branch. Michael probably said it best when he said they thrive without accountability.
@@harroldinab Because he was the best salesman the company ever saw and his branch consistently had the best numbers. Because despite the fact that he acts like a child all of his best employees would all agree he's the best boss they've ever had. Because he wasted 15 years of his life to garner absolutely no respect from his superiors. Who cares that he acts like a child when the numbers prove he's one of the most competent employees they have?
@@lancepate he literally hit Meredith and broke her bones without a single care. Moved the ladder from Darryl so he fell down and injured himself. He literally didn't even show a single bit of empathy when Kevin thought he had cancer and selfishly tried to make himself the attention. Forcefully kissed a gay man to prove he isnt homophobic and many more I can't remember. Ya he's funny until you realised he's a trash human being if you put him in our real world. Also the golden ticket episode proved he dosent actually value his co workers at all
@@abderrahmanedif Many lawyer jokes are about lawyers being terrible people, so the only reason a lawyer would like them is if he didn't get them - Michael's train of thought
The reason that Michael quits at the end is because David missed the whole point of why Michael was upset. It wasn't about the party, it was about the way he was being treated for which David never apologized.
Michael quit because David wouldn't demote or fire Charles just because he didn't get along with him. He was acting like a spoiled child who wasn't getting his way , and likely expected David to try to stop him and beg him to come back. He's somewhat good at his job , yet he's also extremely unprofessional in many areas of his job...the way he treated Pam alone was classic sexual harrassment and pretty much everyone working with Michael had numerous complaints about how he treated them.
@@phan643I agree he's a bad person but he quit because he was tired of being treated like a child, and it was a very mature thing to do. An uncharacteristically mature thing, sure, but definitely mature. He saw that David didn't actually respect him or feel remorse for the way he was treating him, just saw him as a child for whom the easiest way to make him shut up was to give him what he wanted.
@@phan643David didn’t have to demote or fire Charles. Just tell Charles, yo whatever Scranton is doing, they’re doing right. Leave them be, don’t try and mess with the flow of how smooth things operate over there . They’re the one and only successful branch. He should be micromanaging the failing branches.
The last scene is one of the realest scenes in modern TV history. Anybody who's ever given everything to a job, organization, team, marriage, etc that you have loved just to be treated like you're a bum off the street knows exactly how this feels. The instant realization that it was all for nothing and you really don't matter.
Melora Hardin is by far the most under appreciated aspect of this show. I feel like people always highlight Michael, Dwight, Creed, Jim etc but she is absolutely hysterical. One of the best performers on the show in my opinion.
"Yes I shouted fire. I shouted many things. I also should instructions and how to get out of the building so you can imagine my frustration as a safety officer"
Daryls move was incredibly smart in that regard. He realized Michael is a lonely guy who seeks social attention and admiration from normal people, so he used the group to hype Michael up to a point where he couldn't go back without looking like the bad guy, which Michael ultimately feared. He wanted the groups sympathy and he got it, but for what cost
Honestly, this show almost works better as unrelated bite sized office segments. It's more like what it's like working in an office, one weird out of context event every few days or so
The way David talks to Michael when telling him they're firing Jan was so.... surprisingly wholesome, he lowered his tone and put a little bass in it, like he knows its going to hurt Michael so he wants to put it in the best way possible for him..
**You have no idea how high I can fly** That was a jaw-dropping moment for me when the episode first aired on TV. What a great scene to end this compilation on ❤️
12:49 This scene always make me tear up a little bit for Micheal. He putts in 15 years of service at DM with out missing more than a couple days & even had David’s back in the Jan firing lawsuit, but David gets his new VP of sales hire to be the blocker middle man between him & Micheal in order to avoid speaking. Steve acted this scene out flawlessly.
I think these scenes are so important. The Office tends to kind of romanticize corporate and work culture; sure, it's boring, but there are good friends and memories, and you can make a living off it that is sufficient to pursue your happiness. These scenes are important to remind us that not every boss is a Michael Scott, who cares about us on a personal level, they are perfectly willing to fire you on a moment's notice, and will rarely acknowledge your contribution, if ever. No one is indispensable, everyone is expendable.
Maybe it’s time to choose better employers instead of those who see their employees as objects to be used. Thankfully, you can choose who you work for.
@@lonefaolan6042 Well, you're paid to do your job. Why should they care about your feelings? You don't like it, then quit. The feeling of entitlement is strong with this lazy generation.
@@Yammie_Moto671 ostensibly it's true that you do choose your job, but like... you can't be that picky, we all gotta eat. yeah i get that you have to work for things, but you do realize that everything is created *by* the workers? the bosses are the ones that are enriching themselves through other people's labor. workers are indispensable, not bosses. yes, everyone has the right to be treated with basic human dignity instead of being dehumanized & having your worth reduced to your labor... that's not "entitlement", that's just a fact
My favorite part between david and scott is the simple interaction of "What could we be doing better?" "I've never been a big fan of the name Dunder Mifflin." And davids face to the response just makes me laugh.
I think the line where Jim says “say what you want about Michael Scott, but he wouldn’t do that” fits him quitting. He will do a lot for Dundee Mifflin but he just cannot stand the idea of the company not being loyal to its workers. If his work and time isn’t worth the company sticking with him, he’ll walk out. Great scene.
It was pretty dumb of corporate to start micro-managing their one profitable branch. They came to regret it when they lost clients to the MSPC, but even before that, they should have stuck to the mantra "don't fix what ain't broke".
It was the Golden Ticket idea fiasco that caused David to hire Charles. That was when David’s patience ran out. But yes, hindsight...should’ve had hindsight.
Oh man, one of the greatest comedies ever. The "that's what she said" scene has me in tears no matter how many times I watch it, from "you can consider this my retirement from comedy" to Packer's face egging him. Such an incredible tv show.
The whole exchange between Michael and Jan during the unionizing bit is severely underrated. Michael's "We have a history" line is perfectly executed. All of it, really.
I’ve been looking for a comment on that scene 😭 everything from Jan’s expressions (esp at Michael saying “let’s be rational here”) to Michael grasping at whatever straw he could find to escape her wrath destroyed me.
I can't imagine how many takes it took Pam to keep a straight face, when Michael turned to her and said "can I help you?" And then when Michael's feelings are hurt after Jan delivers the "what do you think... The.... Pros.... Are.... Here??? The scene is perfect
@@misterpractical not rlly lol. his relationship with micheal was supposed to represent micheals development as a character. in season 7, after he finally gets with holly, and packer comes to visit the office, micheal finally sees that he wasn’t a very good person.
Michael sits down at the table trying to talk to Jan. Pam does literally nothing Michael: Caan I help you? This is so random and it gets me every time hahha
“That doesn’t seem right to me. That doesn’t seem fair, and I think that I’ve earned more than that.” Did anyone else’s heart break when he said that? ☹️
David Wallace is the kind of boss I want to work for. Never cruel, never cowardly, always fair. Unlike Activision who just fired a bunch of employees and gave their CEOs a bonus.
I love how Michael actually knows what doing to Dwight would be punishment. Removing him as safety manager or whatever WOULD bother him more than something else haha
its always in those little moments where Michael gets serious and just surprises every one. that he's not as dumb as every one thinks , and i think thats how the character is supposed to be played as. having some one under estimate him , and then you bring it out when its needed.
I love how Michael supports his team and has their back. He doesn't want any of them to get fired. The scene at the beginning with Dwight is a prime example 😂😂
0:46 when he pauses the whole scene, stares at the window and only says "this city" it's so Michael Scott. He probably watched this cinema cliché alone in his house the day before and wanted do reproduce it in real life. And then he was supposed to do a monologue about his path in Dunder Mifflin but didn't where to go from there. Pure genius.

The ‘Michael Scott Paper Company’ arc was one of the best parts of the series
@@Pendarr as much as I love Michael it was a pretty stupid reason to quit..... the company was failing and all he cares about is his 15th anniversary party.....and being called out
That it was tuna
Almost as powerful as when I quit to pursue acting and become famous. I am proud to say I achieved that dream as "baby wawa"
"Do you want that on your conscience?"
"Do you?"
"Michael?"
"You are talking to me?"
😂😂😂
For Michael standards though, lets be honest he did nothing wrong
330 is 1 33
What was the question?
@@salvadormunoz7642 that's what made it funny 🤣
13:28 and at that exact moment, Michael realised that Wallace in fact did not get it. He still thinks the reason Michael was upset and why he drove all the way to New York is because he cancelled the party (and the figs) without telling him and not because he deserves to be treated with more respect after 15 years at DM. He felt that there's no point in talking sense into Wallace anymore because of Charles and the fact that he's constantly tried to avoid him for the entire day and he quits.
Throughout the run of the show Michael was always portrayed as a goofball and immature. But when he got it right, goodness did he got it very right. And this is one of those moments. He's had it with being the butt of the joke and did the right thing.
It's a fascinating thought, if Michael was a less lonely individual in his personal life, then he would have a lot more moments of clarity like this and when he got Pam to try again after MSPC's horrid first day
"You have no idea how high i can fly"
These are words that lets you know about the true *Michael Scott*. One of the most successful managers ever in Dunder Mifflin
That all may be so, but nobody can say they could have been more patient than David when it comes to dealing with Michael.
Well said. So many here obviously missed the bigger picture.
I think Wallace did genuinely like him though. Look at when they read his deposition when Jan was suing them. He tried his best to defend Michael even when he wasn't in the room for it.
Everyone’s smile at 3:40 when they realize Jim’s plan to provoke a that’s what she said joke is always my favorite part
I love when he looks out the window and says "The city...", Unnecessary, dramatic and beautiful. Comedic gold.
People never seemed to understand that Michael wasn't just complaining about him loosing his 15th anniversary party. He quit because he realized he was being treated as a child. He wanted the respect he deserved from David and nothing else. The fact that David tried to calm him down by only giving him his party was what made Michael finally realize
That and Charles was put in his position to micromanage Michael, and take away whatever power he once had at his branch. Michael probably said it best when he said they thrive without accountability.
bro a party is meant to be loose
Michael acts like a child, so why is he supprised to be treated like one? David was 100% in the right there.
@@harroldinab Because he was the best salesman the company ever saw and his branch consistently had the best numbers. Because despite the fact that he acts like a child all of his best employees would all agree he's the best boss they've ever had. Because he wasted 15 years of his life to garner absolutely no respect from his superiors. Who cares that he acts like a child when the numbers prove he's one of the most competent employees they have?
@@lancepate he literally hit Meredith and broke her bones without a single care. Moved the ladder from Darryl so he fell down and injured himself. He literally didn't even show a single bit of empathy when Kevin thought he had cancer and selfishly tried to make himself the attention. Forcefully kissed a gay man to prove he isnt homophobic and many more I can't remember. Ya he's funny until you realised he's a trash human being if you put him in our real world. Also the golden ticket episode proved he dosent actually value his co workers at all

Sheila Broflovski would love this comment thread 🥃
The reason that Michael quits at the end is because David missed the whole point of why Michael was upset. It wasn't about the party, it was about the way he was being treated for which David never apologized.
Michael quit because David wouldn't demote or fire Charles just because he didn't get along with him.
He was acting like a spoiled child who wasn't getting his way , and likely expected David to try to stop him and beg him to come back.
He's somewhat good at his job , yet he's also extremely unprofessional in many areas of his job...the way he treated Pam alone was classic sexual harrassment and pretty much everyone working with Michael had numerous complaints about how he treated them.
U have no idea how high he can fly
@@phan643I agree he's a bad person but he quit because he was tired of being treated like a child, and it was a very mature thing to do. An uncharacteristically mature thing, sure, but definitely mature. He saw that David didn't actually respect him or feel remorse for the way he was treating him, just saw him as a child for whom the easiest way to make him shut up was to give him what he wanted.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 True. I was surprised when he quit to ne honest.
@@phan643David didn’t have to demote or fire Charles. Just tell Charles, yo whatever Scranton is doing, they’re doing right. Leave them be, don’t try and mess with the flow of how smooth things operate over there . They’re the one and only successful branch. He should be micromanaging the failing branches.
The last scene is one of the realest scenes in modern TV history. Anybody who's ever given everything to a job, organization, team, marriage, etc that you have loved just to be treated like you're a bum off the street knows exactly how this feels. The instant realization that it was all for nothing and you really don't matter.
I’ve always really liked David Wallace. Even when he’s pissed, he’s super calm. Lol
He would actually be a good boss to work for in my opinion.
Best part:
“Nobody would heed”
“Hed, hedded”
“No one would take hedded of my instructions”
Theres nothing to be hedded when fire decides the shoot at you

Melora Hardin is by far the most under appreciated aspect of this show. I feel like people always highlight Michael, Dwight, Creed, Jim etc but she is absolutely hysterical.
One of the best performers on the show in my opinion.

We can all dream on it..
The Warehouse forming a union while Michael completely loses control of the situation 😂
Moreover, they make Michael join the union 😂😂
Daryls move was incredibly smart in that regard. He realized Michael is a lonely guy who seeks social attention and admiration from normal people, so he used the group to hype Michael up to a point where he couldn't go back without looking like the bad guy, which Michael ultimately feared. He wanted the groups sympathy and he got it, but for what cost
Daryl is helping them carry their cross
That moment right before Michael quit after David stopped talking, you could feel that one.
3:44 you can't help but laugh with Michael. His laugh is so genuine.
Can we all appreciate how they are still to this day uploading clips from the office to their official UA-cam channel 8 years after it ended
Yeah because some stuff Michael or the characters said was comedy gold 👌
That's because this show is still a cash cow
Honestly, this show almost works better as unrelated bite sized office segments. It's more like what it's like working in an office, one weird out of context event every few days or so
It’s been EIGHT YEARS?! Oh my goodness…
“I HAVE CAUSE. IT IS BE CAUSE I HATE HIM” - MICHAEL G. SCOTT
My reaction to 'he is butt' comments on youtube
I love how David had to emphasize to the camera that Jan’s firing wasn’t because of her breast enhancement 😂
Is it wrong that someone threw up at a Star Trek convention? I'm asking for a friend.
I thought he was looking toward Michael rather than the camera.
🤣🤣
@@Redpill-lv4it wtf
That is why I loved roy and pam at the diner. “I could’ve sworn he was gay. (stares). Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
"You have no idea how high I can fly."
It's the moments like this one that make Michael Scott such a GOOOOOOD character.
The bit where he sits down with Jan and turns to Pam like
“Can I help you?”
Cracks me up every time 😆😆
The way David talks to Michael when telling him they're firing Jan was so.... surprisingly wholesome, he lowered his tone and put a little bass in it, like he knows its going to hurt Michael so he wants to put it in the best way possible for him..
And possibly the worst decision because he confided a secret to the worlds worst confidant. He wasn’t even seriously considered for the job.
“Ah, the city” will never fail to make me laugh
I love that part ! 🤣😂
hell yes
"You have no idea, how high I can fly"

That last "Micheal" David says as Micheal quits breaks my heart. Makes it feel like David just lost a friend all too suddenly.
**You have no idea how high I can fly**
That was a jaw-dropping moment for me when the episode first aired on TV. What a great scene to end this compilation on ❤️
The way he gave a flying kiss after saying "that's what she said"
I was looking for this in the comment section 🤣
12:49 This scene always make me tear up a little bit for Micheal. He putts in 15 years of service at DM with out missing more than a couple days & even had David’s back in the Jan firing lawsuit, but David gets his new VP of sales hire to be the blocker middle man between him & Micheal in order to avoid speaking.
Steve acted this scene out flawlessly.
I think these scenes are so important. The Office tends to kind of romanticize corporate and work culture; sure, it's boring, but there are good friends and memories, and you can make a living off it that is sufficient to pursue your happiness. These scenes are important to remind us that not every boss is a Michael Scott, who cares about us on a personal level, they are perfectly willing to fire you on a moment's notice, and will rarely acknowledge your contribution, if ever. No one is indispensable, everyone is expendable.
Maybe it’s time to choose better employers instead of those who see their employees as objects to be used. Thankfully, you can choose who you work for.
@@lonefaolan6042 egh.....it's kinda becoming harder and harder to do that in Corporate America
@@lonefaolan6042 Well, you're paid to do your job. Why should they care about your feelings? You don't like it, then quit. The feeling of entitlement is strong with this lazy generation.

@@Yammie_Moto671 ostensibly it's true that you do choose your job, but like... you can't be that picky, we all gotta eat. yeah i get that you have to work for things, but you do realize that everything is created *by* the workers? the bosses are the ones that are enriching themselves through other people's labor. workers are indispensable, not bosses. yes, everyone has the right to be treated with basic human dignity instead of being dehumanized & having your worth reduced to your labor... that's not "entitlement", that's just a fact
3:31 i really love Jan face when Jim is testing Michael with that’s what she said thing, she is super nervous😂
David Wallace was so patient with Michael but unleashed on Jan and Ryan 🤣
My favorite part between david and scott is the simple interaction of "What could we be doing better?"
"I've never been a big fan of the name Dunder Mifflin." And davids face to the response just makes me laugh.
I think the line where Jim says “say what you want about Michael Scott, but he wouldn’t do that” fits him quitting. He will do a lot for Dundee Mifflin but he just cannot stand the idea of the company not being loyal to its workers. If his work and time isn’t worth the company sticking with him, he’ll walk out. Great scene.
It was pretty dumb of corporate to start micro-managing their one profitable branch. They came to regret it when they lost clients to the MSPC, but even before that, they should have stuck to the mantra "don't fix what ain't broke".
It was the Golden Ticket idea fiasco that caused David to hire Charles. That was when David’s patience ran out. But yes, hindsight...should’ve had hindsight.
*microgement
This is just a show but you’d be surprised the amount of management that “broke what didn’t need fixed”. I’ve seen it over and over.
When Michael said “I’ve put having a family on hold” I lost it 😂😂😂
I'm single with no kids due to my own failings as a woman but I plan to start blaming my job for forcing me into this predicament.
Oh man, one of the greatest comedies ever. The "that's what she said" scene has me in tears no matter how many times I watch it, from "you can consider this my retirement from comedy" to Packer's face egging him. Such an incredible tv show.
The whole exchange between Michael and Jan during the unionizing bit is severely underrated. Michael's "We have a history" line is perfectly executed. All of it, really.
I’ve been looking for a comment on that scene 😭 everything from Jan’s expressions (esp at Michael saying “let’s be rational here”) to Michael grasping at whatever straw he could find to escape her wrath destroyed me.
I can't imagine how many takes it took Pam to keep a straight face, when Michael turned to her and said "can I help you?"
And then when Michael's feelings are hurt after Jan delivers the "what do you think... The.... Pros.... Are.... Here???
The scene is perfect
the "after all we've been through" kills meeee
"You have some savings, you can pay off my debt" 😂😂

Jan: "The board voted last night to close your branch."
Michael: "On whom's authority?"
Jan: "The board's."
Michael: "What?"
3:43 Packer's looks spells "Go on, Michael, fulfill your destiny"
Hahhahaha how he looked at Pam “ ummm can I help you ? “ 😂😂😂
Michael sits down at the table trying to talk to Jan.
Pam does literally nothing
Michael: Caan I help you?
This is so random and it gets me every time hahha
David wallace was so patient with Michael because michael was the only one in the company actually turning a profit 😂
“That doesn’t seem right to me. That doesn’t seem fair, and I think that I’ve earned more than that.” Did anyone else’s heart break when he said that? ☹️
The problem is the chicks. And you gotta blame them

I love how Micheal starts freaking out about the branch closing after he figures out he is a severance package person
David Wallace is the kind of boss I want to work for. Never cruel, never cowardly, always fair.
Unlike Activision who just fired a bunch of employees and gave their CEOs a bonus.

0:46 when he pauses the whole scene, stares at the window and only says "this city" it's so Michael Scott. He probably watched this cinema cliché alone in his house the day before and wanted do reproduce it in real life. And then he was supposed to do a monologue about his path in Dunder Mifflin but didn't where to go from there.
Pure genius.
"Stanley was attacked by his own heart" is one of my favorite Dwight lines ever.
