That negotiation scene, when Michael Scott threatened the CFO with the upcoming annual stockholder meeting proves that he is NOT stupid. He just act childish anytime and anywhere when it doesn’t affect the bottom line. The guy manages to survive for 15 years in a declining industry. That is no mediocre feat
Another is when Michael was getting Schofield to transition over to the Michael Scott Paper Company of which he did skillfully and professionally. It's cool and odd to see Michael actually act like a normal human and talk real business with people.
Finally, a montage that includes Michael's shouting at Jim "Let them have this stupid little game" probably the most passionate I've seen Michael and just how much he really cares, and how Jim was kind of the antagonist in that episode. One of my top eps for sure.

Michael is the reason Jim and Pam marry later in the seasons. Telling Jim “to never, ever, ever give up” is just the spark that Jim needs to keep trying. Props to him

Yeah, like that episode in which Pam wants to introduce him a friend, because Michael feels lonely and he actually acts like a cool likeable guy, but as soon as he realizes it was "a date" he ruins everything..

Sometimes Michael will have a moment and then ruin it, but in this whole moment, he stayed true to being proud of Pam. Which is important for both of them, really
I love that only micheal showed his support. Not Roy, not Oscar. Not even JIM- the guy that loved her for years- showed up to see a single artwork.

You forgot a very underrated clip, that Michael was the only one in the office who knew Sparkles, Angela’s cat. And he knew it was sick and when Pam said Angela’s cat is dead he immediately asked “ Sparkles” implying that he pays attention even to Angela!
that one scene as well when he was making a deal and his first wife who he was working with at the time kept saying his "way" of negotiation isn't going to work but he ended up sealing the deal which leaves her impressed 😂
It’s because he was selling the business. It’s shown multiple times throughout the series that he used to be and still is an absolute master of sales, he’s just not a great overall manager.
@@AmanPandey-tm2yr Ricky's performance is great, but it just can't compare, at all. You will hear this from british Ricky Gervais fans as well, US Office is just better. That doesn't mean the UK Office is a bad show, it's really really good. But the US Office is one of the best comedy shows of all time.
Same here. I gain so much respect for Michael when he put his foot down on Stanley about disrespecting him in front of the office ALSO when Stanley says he doesnt respect him, he just accepted it. That scene always gives me the chills
Ive been there... stay at a job too long and one day you look around and all your friends are gone... And then you realize the only reason why u stayed was because of them...
It's similar to when a bratty child without discipline finally has someone put their foot down and tell them how it's going to be and they aren't sure how to handle someone who will no longer be a pushover
Another great example of how he ever got the branch manager job is the skills he throws down at Chili's with Tim Meadows. Jan is SO annoyed with him for wasting their evening with the jokes and drinks...but he knew what he was doing the whole time and the routine pays off with the life-saving new contract. 😏
Where’s him closing the county contract at Chili’s? First time the show showed how extremely competent he can be, especially how he hit the bullet points from Jan’s written proposal in such a nonchalant way that sealing the deal felt more like friends talking than a business dinner.
He's a good salesman, not a good manager. He was salesman of the month numerous times. Not sure why people are surprised he's good at making sales, or closing out contracts. Did you people even watch the show?
A7xFo A7xFo Maybe you should take a business class before you make a smart ass remark that is meant to put everyone else down, like you understood the show so much better. I’ve been shift manager of a Waffle House, general manager of a Pita Pit, owner of a very successful photography business, owner of a wholesale distribution company, and now make a living off of UA-cam that pays my mortgage, and all from the knowledge of owning a fully paying landscaping business at the age of 15 where I had to learn what a 1099 was and why I had to pay other teens using it, all while being one credit away from having a 4th minor in business to my I/O Psychology degree (that’s business psychology). So maybe take a seat and listen to someone who lives the life of what business structures look like for almost 20 years instead of being a condescending ass. Management positions, on a level he’s at, is basically a glorified level of what he’s managing. His sales experience is exactly why he’d be granted that position, coupled with his people skills (as awkward as they might be). They go hand-in-hand; any example of him proving he’s a great salesman is proof he’s a great manager for that aspect of managing. He knows what it takes and what it looks like, unlike Jan in the same situation. Just pretend as if roles reversed and he became her boss for that scene. A manager of sales, for half of their job, is to CONTINUE MAKING SALES. He is the one that all problems come back to, and he’s responsible for contracts being closed, even if he doesn’t do it. As MANAGER, he stepped up to take care of this one. That’s a great MANAGEMENT decision, as he knows the county and area better than his staff. As MANAGER, he made the call to switch the meeting place to Chili’s. Yes. Those are signs of a great salesman. But you cannot discount a scene where he stands in and acts like he’s managing Jan at that moment to successfully close the biggest deal in his region as not being a great manager; in fact, it shows two things: he’s more competent than Jan to get it done, and that BY JAN BEING THERE, THIS DEAL WAS A JOB FOR MANAGERS TO HANDLE. By the way, that knowledge of being a great salesman got his branch to be the most profitable, got him to have leverage with the Michael Scott Paper Company, and made him realize which assets belonged where and when, like his use of his employees. Being a great salesman is part of the job description of his management position. Closing a deal on the level that managers should be handling it shows he’s a great manager, and MANAGING HIS OWN BOSS TO DO IT shows it even more. Next time, don’t say shit like “do you people even watch the show.” Some of us watch it with a different take than you, and that just means we see it differently, like how I see you as an ignorant asshat keyboard warrior for putting people down and putting your opinion as fact out of left field. Wanna come at me more on the subject? I’m live at least 3 nights a week. I’d be more than happy to give you a nice little lecture on business 101, as I’ve done for seminars and a UA-cam Creator’s Conference before.
Association of Free People the success of the branch had nothing to do with Michael, it was the fact he had Michelin starred chefs for accountants. Oscar, angela, and Kevin could cook the books like no other
This legit actually brought a tear to my eye. There was a lot of emotional moments in this. Like the Pam art scene. Jim confessing his love of Pam to Michael. The Stanley going off on Michael scene. Michael’s recommendation letter for Dwight. Great stuff. 🙂
Imo, the Stanley scene was emotional and important. It showed how Michael handles bad situations, and demands a certain level of respect, regardless of how someone feels personally.
Muzzleflash bruh y u guys gotta make all this an argument tho? be rejoiced. we live on earth, with the people who we love, and we get to watch stupid but emotional and amazing videos like this. it’s not all a race to be right all the time
Not gonna lie, that last scene caught me completely off guard. When I saw him my eyes already started watering, but when he said "that's what she said", I felt for the first time the sensation of laughing and seriously crying at the same time. This show literally made me feel something I had never felt before and I'll forever love it because of that.
I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't more Michael in that last episode. The only things he said was that line and when he was talking to the camera about children getting married. During the wedding he's just standing in the back doing nothing, totally not like Michael. He also could have come to the meeting at the office later.
@@SereglothIV Yeah that's fair. I personally thought it was a good touch. It was almost as if Michael had got what he had always wanted outside of work, a family. Resultantly, he no longer found the need to be the centre of attention or do something stupid to gain the others' approval. Instead, he was quite content in letting Dwight and Angela have their moment, obviously totally contradictory to Phyllis's wedding!
Michael is just the best in every sense of the word. He's a great friend, he's supportive, his a really skilled businessman, and, despite his unintentionally rude and offensive things he says, he's always trying to make everyone's day a little bit better.
His goal is to be the best boss thats his heart thats his cup. hes a dad figure. Hes full of dad jokes and hes a dad in that hes someone u can go to. Hes fully aware of himself and of every situation. Michael is truly the smartest one on the show and the respect everyone has for him proves it, especially by the end of his run
I think the moment in the gallery is the reason why pam treated him so well in the next seasons. Sometimes she was the only one who cared about him. A great friendship in my opinion
the average person doesn't actually need a 40-hour work week to get the job done, so people find ways to fill that time (ie Stanley's crossword). Michael is having them fill that time as a group
2:51 The perfect example of this. I'm 100% convinced that he gave his statement time to sink in before lightening the mood. From what we saw when he made the sale at Chillis and his negotiating with DM to get him and crew's old jobs back, it's pretty much a given that Michael can read people like a book.
Thing is Michael actually is a great boss, his branch was the most profitable, and the employees morale was much better under Michael even though they won’t admit it when put under a situation with a real serious boss like they always said they wanted, they just wanted things to go back to normal
Actually, the Scranton branch wasn't always the most profitable and almost got shut down. But despite Michael Scott's repeated goofs and outrageous behaviour, he was still kept on as a manager for most of the time.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995I suspect that branch near-closure was mainly due to Jan specifically targeting Michael out of spite and because of comparison to Josh of Stanford, who performed well, but sold out his branch to Staples.
A deleted scene actually explores this. When they initially joke about Michael being replaced, Michael retorts that a new boss wouldn’t be lax and understating to Kevin being an extra accountant or Jim and Pam being in a relationship in the same branch.
Should’ve included him making a huge sale in the episode “The client”, that was the first time he really showed he was actually competent and qualified for his job
The scene about letting them play the game honestly made me love Michael more than anything else. He took the burden of everyone's stress and did everything he could to get them to let go of a situation they couldn't control. That level of empathy is simply amazing.
It's because while he does separate his responsibilities as their boss from his relationships with those under him. He actually never views himself as above them and he tries his best to respect his employees. Key word being tries as it's often better to try to be respectful than not.
nope they are usually 4th in sales..but dwight is the only reason they exist..without him they close a long time ago...thats the irony of the series..mike as a boss without dwight and angela doing the heavy lifting would of caused the branch to fail...
He kept the title of most profitable branch long after the Stamford merger even to the point where he went to speak at the board bc of his branches accomplishment, and even with Dwight sometimes getting amazingly high sales it's reviealed in season 8 that Stanley is the one who has the most consistently high sales numbers
Underrated quote: “it takes a big man to accept his mistakes, and I am that big man” Michael is finding it in himself to apologise to Dwight and admit he’s wrong, but still has to spin it so he looks good. Love the office so much
100% human, through and through ... all the worst and all the best, wrapped up in a flawed human who just wants affection and tries to do right by people.
6:25 This is the moment I truly started to see Michael by a totally different perspective. He even had an actually good idea for the speech, but just couldn’t fulfill it. His talk to Jim at the end showed how he really cares for his employees, how he sees them as friends and want them to succeed.
By all logic, Jim should be the better boss. He is level-headed, likeable, and a seasoned veteran who knows how to get things done. Michael is a lovable buffoon, except when he's not lovable. But as a boss, Michael > Jim every time.
i don't think jim has that leader quality to him, and michael is a better salesman than him as well not to mention his knowledge of the trade like the back of his hand
@dayum son they are both different things, the UK version has made me laugh more but the US has so much more feels to it. At the end of the day, each has their own attraction
All of these moments...they're so genuine, and it says a lot about Michael as a boss. He may have had times that didn't make him the best person, but he really cared about his friends. And that is just so special. That's what a boss is supposed to do. Care for and respect the people that care for and respect him back. He's supposed to care about everyone he works with, and it shows in this compilation. What a sweet video.
This maybe one of the best TV shows in history. The writing is smart, the humor is one point, the acting is superb & every actor has their moments to shine. They belong up there with the greats like Seinfeld & Breaking Bad.
Despite having a bad day at business school with Ryan, Michael made sure to be there for Pam. Not only that he also praised her art wholeheartedly. What else do you need in a friend?
The one that made me smile was when Michael played paintball with Dwight. Even though it was a small gesture, he just wanted to make Dwight, one of his best friends happy, before he saw him off forever
I think Michael Scott acts the way he does so that his workers have something to unify them. The fact that they have a crazy overbearing boss. It brings them together. But he knows what’s going on
Michael’s saving grace: as many mistakes as he made, as much as he annoyed people, at the base of it all he always had a good heart. He genuinely loved his work, his employees, and even though he was wrong he was trying to do his best. When he succeeded, it’s a beautiful thing to behold.
I cried when Dwight read his letter from Michael. Michael was my favorite character and I really missed him in the later seasons. Michael was a friend you’d definitely want in your corner
Watching through for the 4th time and I find it interesting that he both loves each employee yet is the one that consistently makes fun of all of them. He calls Dwight a huge nerd but nearly cries when he goes to Staples
By no means is this anything more than just my opinion and personal experience(call it anecdotal), but the people closest to you(close family,friends) are the ones you’ll tease and give crap to the most.
7:14 later evolved into: “ don’t ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you’ve been, ever, for any reason whatsoever”
On the Michael Scott paper company I feel like that whole thing was to show Charles and David Wallace that Michael wasn't kidding, he purposely set his prices lower so that he could steal clients from Dunder mifflin so Charles and David could buy him out and they'd still have all their clients.
2:23 such a realistic scene. Everyone wants to criticize the boss but has no idea how hard it is to just manage people. Just do it for a week and you'll be glad it's temporary
Michael and Stanley having issues is my favorite. Michael may act childish but the way he dealt with it is great. Didn't fire him, understood his point and made it clear that Stanley can't do it again. He put his foot down but didn't do it aggressively
One of my favorite things about this show are the few moments where Michael Scott is not his usual self but really shows how much he cares about his employees
No matter how much I cringe, Michael always manages to impress me in the end. He's got so many layers. Definitely a well-written, well-acted character.
I loveeee the part when David says "i'm sure you're scared" and Michael looks at the camera like that's where you're wrong... Lol Michael doesn't fear failure it actually inspires him. 4:20
Michael has always been my favorite character. He’s so silly and carefree on the surface but deep down he has a heart of gold and wisdom that doesn’t come by often.
Michael gets it wrong so often, but when he gets it right -- boy does he get it right.

The scene with Erin and Michael pretending to be father and daughter should’ve been here
Agreed! I hate to admit that I didn't always like Michael but the times he was a good father figure were awesome.
Aww, I love that one too.
that’s not him being a good boss
@@BlakeLovesPoland neither is him going to Dwight's wedding though
Kevin Serrano yeah i know, i didn’t say it should be in the video
The negotiation with David Wallace is the moment where his jester facade dropped to reveal exactly how competent he is. Highest IQ moment of the show.
He wasn't lying about those IQ tests that he did on the internet
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 I mean, in the very first episode he lands a client that Jim could not land.
that one scene as well when he was making a deal and his first wife who he was working with at the time kept saying his "way" of negotiation isn't going to work but he ended up sealing the deal which leaves her impressed 😂
It’s because he was selling the business. It’s shown multiple times throughout the series that he used to be and still is an absolute master of sales, he’s just not a great overall manager.
Steve Carell killed the role. No other human on planet Earth could do better than his performance.

You will hear this from british Ricky Gervais fans as well, US Office is just better.
That doesn't mean the UK Office is a bad show, it's really really good. But the US Office is one of the best comedy shows of all time.
For me the greatest moment was when he was disciplining stanley. It was his most mature moment of the entire series
Same here. I gain so much respect for Michael when he put his foot down on Stanley about disrespecting him in front of the office ALSO when Stanley says he doesnt respect him, he just accepted it. That scene always gives me the chills
Yep. He valued Stanley as an employee, and he was willing to swallow his pride and ego just to keep things civil.
Also, that part when Michael didn't prompt Stanley to publically apologize after disciplining him, shows his mature act.
He should have just pulled out the whip and make him submit by force.
Yep, as mad as Stanley was with his antics he acted like a spoiled kid towards his boss and coworkers, and a shitty worker too
That heart to heart with Stanley was absolutely perfect. Never saw Micheal put his foot down so hard

Can we get a compilation of the times Jim and Dwight put aside their personal differences and work as an epic sales team when it matters most?

Him arguing with david is my favorite thing Michael probably has ever done
Whenever you see him in a sales or negotiating role, it suddenly makes sense how he got promoted to manager in the first place
Another great example of how he ever got the branch manager job is the skills he throws down at Chili's with Tim Meadows. Jan is SO annoyed with him for wasting their evening with the jokes and drinks...but he knew what he was doing the whole time and the routine pays off with the life-saving new contract. 😏
I want to like, but its at 690. Take a reply like instead
"So I dont think I need to wait out Dunder Mifflin. I think I just have to wait out you."
The best line in the show.
The scene where Michael schooled David was when I realized he’s a secret genius.
Where’s him closing the county contract at Chili’s? First time the show showed how extremely competent he can be, especially how he hit the bullet points from Jan’s written proposal in such a nonchalant way that sealing the deal felt more like friends talking than a business dinner.
That's sales 101. How well you can take someone out to lunch.
He's a good salesman, not a good manager. He was salesman of the month numerous times. Not sure why people are surprised he's good at making sales, or closing out contracts. Did you people even watch the show?
A7xFo A7xFo Maybe you should take a business class before you make a smart ass remark that is meant to put everyone else down, like you understood the show so much better.
I’ve been shift manager of a Waffle House, general manager of a Pita Pit, owner of a very successful photography business, owner of a wholesale distribution company, and now make a living off of UA-cam that pays my mortgage, and all from the knowledge of owning a fully paying landscaping business at the age of 15 where I had to learn what a 1099 was and why I had to pay other teens using it, all while being one credit away from having a 4th minor in business to my I/O Psychology degree (that’s business psychology). So maybe take a seat and listen to someone who lives the life of what business structures look like for almost 20 years instead of being a condescending ass.
Management positions, on a level he’s at, is basically a glorified level of what he’s managing. His sales experience is exactly why he’d be granted that position, coupled with his people skills (as awkward as they might be).
They go hand-in-hand; any example of him proving he’s a great salesman is proof he’s a great manager for that aspect of managing. He knows what it takes and what it looks like, unlike Jan in the same situation. Just pretend as if roles reversed and he became her boss for that scene.
A manager of sales, for half of their job, is to CONTINUE MAKING SALES. He is the one that all problems come back to, and he’s responsible for contracts being closed, even if he doesn’t do it. As MANAGER, he stepped up to take care of this one. That’s a great MANAGEMENT decision, as he knows the county and area better than his staff. As MANAGER, he made the call to switch the meeting place to Chili’s.
Yes. Those are signs of a great salesman. But you cannot discount a scene where he stands in and acts like he’s managing Jan at that moment to successfully close the biggest deal in his region as not being a great manager; in fact, it shows two things: he’s more competent than Jan to get it done, and that BY JAN BEING THERE, THIS DEAL WAS A JOB FOR MANAGERS TO HANDLE.
By the way, that knowledge of being a great salesman got his branch to be the most profitable, got him to have leverage with the Michael Scott Paper Company, and made him realize which assets belonged where and when, like his use of his employees.
Being a great salesman is part of the job description of his management position. Closing a deal on the level that managers should be handling it shows he’s a great manager, and MANAGING HIS OWN BOSS TO DO IT shows it even more.
Next time, don’t say shit like “do you people even watch the show.” Some of us watch it with a different take than you, and that just means we see it differently, like how I see you as an ignorant asshat keyboard warrior for putting people down and putting your opinion as fact out of left field.
Wanna come at me more on the subject? I’m live at least 3 nights a week. I’d be more than happy to give you a nice little lecture on business 101, as I’ve done for seminars and a UA-cam Creator’s Conference before.
@@A7xFo that's what I'm saying. Like it wasn't even all that impressive of a sale.
Association of Free People the success of the branch had nothing to do with Michael, it was the fact he had Michelin starred chefs for accountants. Oscar, angela, and Kevin could cook the books like no other
Only 9 minutes? That's almost insulting to the World's Best Boss.

Michael being supportive of Pam's art is my favorite. You can just see how proud and happy he is for her.

Like the Pam art scene.
Jim confessing his love of Pam to Michael.
The Stanley going off on Michael scene.
Michael’s recommendation letter for Dwight.
Great stuff. 🙂
Muzzleflash not so much the Stanley scene but maybe when he said to let them have the stupid game
Imo, the Stanley scene was emotional and important. It showed how Michael handles bad situations, and demands a certain level of respect, regardless of how someone feels personally.
@@muzzleflash7056 no i totally agree im just saying its not emotional to us the viewers
I’d disagree. It shows the true raw aspect of Michaels character. And Stanley even seemed humbled by the fact Michael stood up to be a man
Muzzleflash bruh y u guys gotta make all this an argument tho? be rejoiced. we live on earth, with the people who we love, and we get to watch stupid but emotional and amazing videos like this. it’s not all a race to be right all the time
Not gonna lie, that last scene caught me completely off guard. When I saw him my eyes already started watering, but when he said "that's what she said", I felt for the first time the sensation of laughing and seriously crying at the same time. This show literally made me feel something I had never felt before and I'll forever love it because of that.
That’s what she said
It’s a happy cry when u so happy that u cry I know what u saying felt the same way when he said it
I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't more Michael in that last episode. The only things he said was that line and when he was talking to the camera about children getting married. During the wedding he's just standing in the back doing nothing, totally not like Michael. He also could have come to the meeting at the office later.
@@SereglothIV Yeah that's fair. I personally thought it was a good touch. It was almost as if Michael had got what he had always wanted outside of work, a family. Resultantly, he no longer found the need to be the centre of attention or do something stupid to gain the others' approval. Instead, he was quite content in letting Dwight and Angela have their moment, obviously totally contradictory to Phyllis's wedding!
@@SereglothIV that’s what made his reentry so cool
Michael is just the best in every sense of the word. He's a great friend, he's supportive, his a really skilled businessman, and, despite his unintentionally rude and offensive things he says, he's always trying to make everyone's day a little bit better.
I wouldn't say a great friend though (like the time he accidentally reveals Jim's secret to everyone) but he's really supportive
@@hairglowingkyle4572 we all fail now and theb
@@hairglowingkyle4572 if he didn't do that Jim would never come out , I think that was a push to come out.
His goal is to be the best boss thats his heart thats his cup. hes a dad figure. Hes full of dad jokes and hes a dad in that hes someone u can go to. Hes fully aware of himself and of every situation. Michael is truly the smartest one on the show and the respect everyone has for him proves it, especially by the end of his run
Yep. Michael Scott has always been one of my favourite characters, along with Jim Halpert (all-time favourite) and Darryl Philbin.
I loved the scene where Michael destroyed David and Charles
Smug Charles
Best storyline of the whole show when Michael quits and then comes back

Michael is the kind of boss you don’t like when you have him but love what he did for you when he’s gone
I think the moment in the gallery is the reason why pam treated him so well in the next seasons. Sometimes she was the only one who cared about him. A great friendship in my opinion
True, she even followed him when he resigned and created a new company.
"Pamcasso..." been watching this for years...I don't remember Michael ever saying that. I love the Office.
OMG
We need some sort of distraction for everybody.... that is Michaels philosophy for practically every episode lol.
Work can get boring sometimes and I need to forget I'm stuck for 8 hours doing the same thing everyday.
the average person doesn't actually need a 40-hour work week to get the job done, so people find ways to fill that time (ie Stanley's crossword). Michael is having them fill that time as a group

The perfect example of this.
I'm 100% convinced that he gave his statement time to sink in before lightening the mood.
From what we saw when he made the sale at Chillis and his negotiating with DM to get him and crew's old jobs back, it's pretty much a given that Michael can read people like a book.
Just like Conan O'Brien.
@@DeeckyRizzo no
Michael showing up to dwights wedding is one of the greatest tv moments ever
I cried
Thing is Michael actually is a great boss, his branch was the most profitable, and the employees morale was much better under Michael even though they won’t admit it when put under a situation with a real serious boss like they always said they wanted, they just wanted things to go back to normal
Actually, the Scranton branch wasn't always the most profitable and almost got shut down. But despite Michael Scott's repeated goofs and outrageous behaviour, he was still kept on as a manager for most of the time.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995I suspect that branch near-closure was mainly due to Jan specifically targeting Michael out of spite and because of comparison to Josh of Stanford, who performed well, but sold out his branch to Staples.
A deleted scene actually explores this. When they initially joke about Michael being replaced, Michael retorts that a new boss wouldn’t be lax and understating to Kevin being an extra accountant or Jim and Pam being in a relationship in the same branch.
The scene where he buys Pam's art always gets me

Did you think the worlds best boss mug wasn’t enough to let you know ?
Yeah, the mug pretty much sums it all up. I'm thinking of going to look for one at Spencer's. 😉
Should’ve included him making a huge sale in the episode “The client”, that was the first time he really showed he was actually competent and qualified for his job
Is that the episode where he takes the client to chillys?
@@guyman8569 yup
Don’t forget he also sold $1,000,000 in paper products to Mr. Buttlicker just by the sound of his voice.
Wasn't the first time. In the pilot episode, Michael was able to land a client that Jim couldn't land.
The scene about letting them play the game honestly made me love Michael more than anything else. He took the burden of everyone's stress and did everything he could to get them to let go of a situation they couldn't control. That level of empathy is simply amazing.
he’s like a dad for everyone there and that’s adorable to me

@@xaejilover2744 lol
@@xaejilover2744 Yes if you are a Targaryen, or perhaps a Lannister 🤣
Michael is a goofball but there’s a reason his branch is always top in sales
It's because while he does separate his responsibilities as their boss from his relationships with those under him. He actually never views himself as above them and he tries his best to respect his employees. Key word being tries as it's often better to try to be respectful than not.
nope they are usually 4th in sales..but dwight is the only reason they exist..without him they close a long time ago...thats the irony of the series..mike as a boss without dwight and angela doing the heavy lifting would of caused the branch to fail...
It’s because they merged with Stamford and absorbed all their sales
He kept the title of most profitable branch long after the Stamford merger even to the point where he went to speak at the board bc of his branches accomplishment, and even with Dwight sometimes getting amazingly high sales it's reviealed in season 8 that Stanley is the one who has the most consistently high sales numbers
@@razkable if you will see an episode of The Office, it's written on the board that Jim makes the highest sales. Second is Dwight.
Damn that huge smile Pam gives is perfect, when Michael tells David he just has to wait him out is on point.
The way Dwight stops enjoying Michael's letter to mock and ends up feeling emotional. I love it.
Underrated quote: “it takes a big man to accept his mistakes, and I am that big man” Michael is finding it in himself to apologise to Dwight and admit he’s wrong, but still has to spin it so he looks good. Love the office so much
We could all be a little more like Michael Scott and the world would be a better place
100% human, through and through ... all the worst and all the best, wrapped up in a flawed human who just wants affection and tries to do right by people.
Just not the first season Michael...
then we would crack 7 billion pelvis's after hitting our coworker with a car.
I think I just have to wait out you! Stone cold words that David couldn’t do anything about!
I can imagine David thinking 'oh NOW he's a good manager!'
Even Pam was like..👀
Steve Carell is a national treasure
100%
Willie Stephens how come?
Our space force would be nothing without him
Michael's negotiation with David is by far one of the best sequences in the entire show. Just too good.
6:25 This is the moment I truly started to see Michael by a totally different perspective. He even had an actually good idea for the speech, but just couldn’t fulfill it. His talk to Jim at the end showed how he really cares for his employees, how he sees them as friends and want them to succeed.
By all logic, Jim should be the better boss. He is level-headed, likeable, and a seasoned veteran who knows how to get things done. Michael is a lovable buffoon, except when he's not lovable. But as a boss, Michael > Jim every time.
i don't think jim has that leader quality to him, and michael is a better salesman than him as well not to mention his knowledge of the trade like the back of his hand
One of my favorite parts of the show was when they showed how Jim is almost like a younger Michael.

US has the advantage of going on for like 9 years.
4:30 Michael's smartest move yet, so fkn badass he damn near lawyered David Wallace
All of these moments...they're so genuine, and it says a lot about Michael as a boss. He may have had times that didn't make him the best person, but he really cared about his friends. And that is just so special. That's what a boss is supposed to do. Care for and respect the people that care for and respect him back. He's supposed to care about everyone he works with, and it shows in this compilation. What a sweet video.
This show is easily one of the best ever made.
This maybe one of the best TV shows in history.
The writing is smart, the humor is one point, the acting is superb & every actor has their moments to shine.
They belong up there with the greats like Seinfeld & Breaking Bad.
Only comedy show I put above The Office, is Seinfeld. If Michael stayed throughout the whole show, it could’ve gone the other way.
@@SolRyuKen yeah although it sucks we didnt have michael for all of it, he still throws me on a roller coaster of emotions from his time of it
Brek Agreed, his emotions seem Genuine. Steve Carell did a PHENOMENAL job. I still choke up when him and Jim have their last good bye.
It's on its way to be being recognized that way by being the most streamed comedy on Netflix this year.
Seinfeld is outdated. The comedy in this is a lot better imo.

IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN DWIGHT
Hey it's Mr. Poop
Despite having a bad day at business school with Ryan, Michael made sure to be there for Pam. Not only that he also praised her art wholeheartedly. What else do you need in a friend?
The one that made me smile was when Michael played paintball with Dwight. Even though it was a small gesture, he just wanted to make Dwight, one of his best friends happy, before he saw him off forever
Can't forget that moment when he was Ryan's guest for a college assignment. That speech hits hard
This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
It's precisely how I feel.
That’s what she said
I think Michael Scott acts the way he does so that his workers have something to unify them. The fact that they have a crazy overbearing boss. It brings them together. But he knows what’s going on
Fact
It’s funny how much we actually learn from Michael as the show goes on, he does act like an idiot but there’s a method to his madness
Michael’s saving grace: as many mistakes as he made, as much as he annoyed people, at the base of it all he always had a good heart. He genuinely loved his work, his employees, and even though he was wrong he was trying to do his best. When he succeeded, it’s a beautiful thing to behold.

@@lukelamendola41 lmfao no
Watching through for the 4th time and I find it interesting that he both loves each employee yet is the one that consistently makes fun of all of them. He calls Dwight a huge nerd but nearly cries when he goes to Staples
By no means is this anything more than just my opinion and personal experience(call it anecdotal), but the people closest to you(close family,friends) are the ones you’ll tease and give crap to the most.
The mug didn't lie, definitely worlds greatest boss
1:00 shows how great he is, he finally snaps, he shows his much he cares for his workers- No. His family.
7:14 later evolved into: “ don’t ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you’ve been, ever, for any reason whatsoever”
On the Michael Scott paper company I feel like that whole thing was to show Charles and David Wallace that Michael wasn't kidding, he purposely set his prices lower so that he could steal clients from Dunder mifflin so Charles and David could buy him out and they'd still have all their clients.
Ooof, seeing Michael be a stern boss towards Stanley gives me the shivers
2:23 such a realistic scene. Everyone wants to criticize the boss but has no idea how hard it is to just manage people. Just do it for a week and you'll be glad it's temporary
Michael and Stanley having issues is my favorite. Michael may act childish but the way he dealt with it is great. Didn't fire him, understood his point and made it clear that Stanley can't do it again.
He put his foot down but didn't do it aggressively
Yes!
Realizing how much I miss Michael Scott after season 7 😔
That smirk by Pam when he rekks David is the best part of the video
One of my favorite things about this show are the few moments where Michael Scott is not his usual self but really shows how much he cares about his employees
No matter how much I cringe, Michael always manages to impress me in the end. He's got so many layers. Definitely a well-written, well-acted character.
I loveeee the part when David says "i'm sure you're scared" and Michael looks at the camera like that's where you're wrong... Lol Michael doesn't fear failure it actually inspires him. 4:20
Michael has always been my favorite character. He’s so silly and carefree on the surface but deep down he has a heart of gold and wisdom that doesn’t come by often.
:)
He was actually the smartest in the office. Listening to his quotes and little lessons throughout the series can really teach you a lot about life.
Everything is chaotic, the company is going out of business
Michael: we need a distraction
