The Fundamentals of Business by Michael Scott. Over one billion sold. More than the Bible. I'm not surprised. Chapter one. [pause] The business man.....-- (longer pause]

While many don't care for Andy, his 4 episode arch (Angry Andy to Free Family Portrait Studio) at the end of season 8 is a bit underrated.


I think Andy is highly appreciated as a side character. I think the hate comes in when they overdid him after Carrell left.

Does anyone have a gif of the puppet scene. I've been looking for one and have had zero luck.

+500 internet points if y'all can hook me up

Ah, I have the perfect example. It was from the 'Koi Pond' episode (only aired live on NBC) of the Halloween suicide in front of the kids.

Y'all remember that? It never made it to the DVD release or Netflix, but I remember watching it live and had me dying.

A couple underrated moments that come to mind

- When Jim is timing Dwight's use of personal time for company theft, and carries on a conversation within ear shot of Dwight that incorrectly references Harry Potter, LOTR, and Battlestar Galactica

- Creed is playing with the baby by dangling paperclips to it. Kelly (I think?) says "You can't do that, she'll eat them." Creed- "It's ok, I have hundreds."

- The negotiation where Micheal asks Jan for a raise. When she asks for a moment alone with Micheal and tells him to ask for 20% so she can give 15. He asks for 20 and is confused when she says no.

-The deposition where Micheal is eating lunch alone and Toby tries to talk to him to cheer him up, but Mike just pushes Toby's plate to the floor.

- Karen - "Who's Bob Vance?" Phyllis "You got a lot to learn about this town sweetie."

So many lines come to mind. Hard to say what is underrated. I love that show

The episode where Michael has everyone attempt to find him a girlfriend after he finds out the chair model is dead.

Phyllis tells him she knows someone and that she plays softball.

Michael: Could we share a rowboat? Could... could a rowboat support her?

Phyllis: ...What are you asking?

Michael: I think I'm being veyr clear what I'm asking. Would an average sized rowboat support her without capsizing?

Michael: [Long Pause] It bothers me that you're not answering the question.

The reporter cats name is Edward R Meow (another underrated funny). If you google his name and gif it should come up.

And if I was locked in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Toby, and I had a gun with two bullets, I'd shoot Toby twice.

I almost died.

Some of my favorite moments that aren't necessarily funny are when Michael has those random flashes of genius and smoothness, like when he was negotiating the buyout of the Michael Scott Paper Company with David Wallace.

My two favorites are when he nonchalantly announces they can now sell hammermill and when he closed Tim Meadows

When Michael wears the lady pantsuit and when Dwight insisted on sitting in the back drivers side seat in Jim's car.

I've loved this thread. I still watch while cleaning or needing white noise. Within minutes I'm laughing.

BluegrassBelle, I love that scene of Jim sending letters to Dwight from the future. One of my faves too.

Also surprised nobody mentioned Prison Mike.

Overall, the whole damn show was hilarious and every character was great. They all played their roles on the show beautifully.

You're right.. I forgot I was reading an underrated thread. After page 2, I just started thinking about favorite scenes.

Speaking of which, the sales pitch they give in that episode is pretty freaking great. Dwight calls Staples from the guys phone and is on hold the entire time they are doing the pitch.
