Rewatching the office and it's freakin painful how terrible of a person he is, Phyllis's wedding being the shining example. This rewatch has really made me hate him as a person, he is still obviously hilarious.

Anyone else even close to matching him?

I hated the scene where he drove his car into a lake because the GPS said to turn. He's not Homer Simpson.

That said, he's in no way, shape, or form the most pathetic character in TV history.

I'm watching the office now. Season 2 is so good I can't think of a word to properly describe it.

Not even close,

Hell, he wasn't even the most pathetic in the show. In the long run Toby ended up being more pathetic than Michael.

Which Michael probably loved to learn.

Toby, Ryan, Gabe, and Pam are all more pathetic than Michael.

Gabe, agreed. But Toby, Ryan, and Pam? Nah man.

Michael is still the same little kid from Fundle Bundle, and that is sad as frick.

Bologna, tomato, and ketchup is a pathetic favorite sandwich. Sebrings and PT cruisers are pathetic cars.

Wait, are we using pathetic as a synonym for hateable?

Cause he can sometimes be pathetic and sometimes be unlikable. But I think they are mostly different aspects of the character.

Certainly not, but his childhood memories are some of the saddest, most pathetic memories I've ever heard. And they make me laugh.

quote:

Edward R. Meow: Well what's your favorite subject at school?

Young Michael: Recess.

Edward R. Meow: Ree-cesss. So tell me, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Young Michael: I want to be married and have a hundred kids so I can have a hundred friends, and no one can say no to being my friend.

Edward R. Meow: [jaw drops, awkward pause] Uh, ah... oh, okay! Well uh, nice talking with you, Michael. Uh, back to you Miss Trudy!




But in the end he was very successful at his job, got the girl of his dreams, chose family and happiness, and seemed more mature in the series finale.

The Office is the most unfunny funny show ever made.
