The Office

[Kermit, B.]

What I love about Michael is how he's a total moron and yet somehow he's the best branch manager in the company and they have to kiss his ass. The economy sucks (not sure if you've been hearing about that. you been hearin about that?) and he's the only one making money for Dunder-Mifflin. He seems to always close his business deals.

I love this show.

That's my favorite part of the show.  Why doesn't Dunder-Mifflin just fire his ridiculous ass?  Because he makes money.  In both the Applebee's Chili's episode with Tim Meadows, and the paper convention episode, he closed huge deals despite playing the fool the entire time.  They're clearly trying to cater to Weebs by making it BELIEVABLE that he would keep his job.

It's the new golf course'd.

I just didn't want Fork to make a baby back ribs joke.

It's like you're coming up short in your attempts to derail the jokes.  If you can put in just a little more effort.  (Heh?  See that? Heh, heh?)

It's like you didn't put enough POP in that joke.  Like you COLLARED it in.  Does that make sense?  Nope, didn't think so.  Proceed.

Just an fyi, neither is funny.

This food is bad.

This painting is bad.

This movie is bad.

This food is muffin tastes bad.

Maybe the rabbit ears on top of the FEMA trailer were on the fritz'd

Yeah, I botched, had to fix it, then still botched it again.  Still, Andy cracks me up.

you mean "batched".

Get with the fucking program.

Also, how awesome is it that Michael thinks You Tube is a production company?

"We'll get You Tube to come and film it."

I really think this is the genius of the show.  It's these, seemingly, throwaway lines that are hilarious.  It takes a second to register what you just hear, and then you can't stop laughing.

I know I've talked about it before, but to me there's one glaring difference between the American version and the Brit version.  In the Brit version, David never sees the folly of his ways.  He's awkward, and continues to be so even after light is shed on what he has caused.  Michael, on the other hand, always seems to resolve whatever problem he has caused.  And, if the problem is not resolved, at least Michael seems to try to smooth it over.  David never "gets it".

There's something tragic about Michael.  There's something sinister about David.

Just a thought.

When Dwight is called to Corporate because of his safety excesses, Michael sits next to him at the table.  Then he gets up and wanders to the window and says that what Dwight did is no big deal.  He is corrected by one of the corporate suits who says that it is a big deal, whereupon Michael sits down on management's side of the table and starts working on Dwight from that side.  Nasty.

But, that terd wouldn't scootch down.  SCOOTCH DOWN!

Time to get real. How likely is it that a guy who's completely socially inept at all facets of his life be so smooth when it comes to selling paper products? Riddle me that.

It's highly unlikely, BH, until you get down to the heart of the matter.  The heart.  Michael Scarn has heart.  Michael Scott is a regular old chump.  He turns on the afterburners, and Agen Scarn comes out and POW!, he makes the sale.  People can relate to that.  People helping people, people selling things to other people.  So it's not so much a riddle, as it is a riddlekulous question.  HE JUST GETS SHIT DONE!  
Oh yeah, and b/c you don't have to be good in public situations to be good at your job.  Look at morph.
