When they are at that convention and Jerome Bettis is there. They are trying to get him to come to the party in the hotel room.


Dwight and Michael walk away.


Dwight: Why do they call him the Bus?
Michael: because he’s afraid to fly

If you want truly underrated, it’s Gabe’s storyline of being obsessed with horror movies.

When he corners Andy in the bathroom and says he’s seen over 200 horror movies.

Then the Halloween episode where they play a disturbing movie he made. Then these lines:
Andy: What’s the story?
Oscar: There is no story.
Gabe: Yeah it seems like there isn’t a narrative. [on screen a man gets into a car] Maybe the filmmaker realized that even narrative is comforting.

Also, Dwight- “I’m ravenous after a night of love making”

After banging the cute bridesmaid (or as Dwight says, "Knocking boots.") after the rehearsal dinner, he ignores her the next day. Only to later accidentally kick her in the face while dancing down the church aisle.

The Crime-Aid episode in Season 5. At the start of the auction, where the top item is a pair of front row Springsteen tickets, Michael has Darryl play a cassette tape of ...
"The Heart of Rock N Roll" by Huey Lewis and the News.

They cut to Darryl being interviewed ... "Mike gave me a list of his top ten Springsteen songs. Three of them were Huey Lewis and the News, one was Tracey Chapman "Fast Car", and my personal favorite, "Short People".

Michael sitting in a dark hotel room alone in front of a strobe light with girls gone wild blaring over a portable speaker.

Yeah, but I seem to remember him offering some guys a chick drink like a Cosmo.

Michael always orders a strange strange drink. In one episode he's asked what he's drinking and he says, "Grenadine."

I loved Dwight impersonating everyone in the office while he was complaining to David Wallace about Jim

I find myself becoming more and more of a Dwight fan.

The whole bit in the Baby Shower episode and the deleted scenes involving his destructive testing of Jan's $1200 baby stroller is really funny. In one of the deleted scenes he begrudgingly admits "Tbat's a stout stroller".

When he starts an actual fire as a fire drill was great too. He can't understand that he did anything wrong.

The episode that he starts wearing a Cornell sweatshirt to frick with Andy had some funny parts. Andy then dresses like what a Cornell preppy thinks a farmer would dress like and carries in a hamper of beets. He tries to take a bite out of a raw beer and says something like Oh, these need to be cooked don't they. Dwight then takes a huge bite out of one and derisively says "Cornell ..."

The show wouldn't be the same without Dwight. The last episode I watched was the one where Dwight thought it was Friday and was late for work the next day. He comes in at 12:20 and runs in from the parking lot yelling "it's ok, I'm here."

Another one I saw recently was when Michael was getting cold feet about moving to Colorado with Holly. He says "I'll have to find a new improv class and I don't know if my credits will transfer." That cracks me up every time for some reason.

Just started watching from the beginning (had only seen a few episodes before). Just finished S2E13 where Michael tells everyone Jim likes Pam.

At the end Michael is talking to the camera:

"People are always coming to me. 'Michael I have a secret. You're the only one I trust.' No thanks, because keeping a secret can only lead to trouble. Like I was watching Cinemax last weekend, this movie, Portrait of a Prostitute. Something.. Secrets of a- More Secrets of a Call Girl. And the lead character Shila is framed for murder. Goes on the run and winds up working at a bordello in Malibu. I don't.. I don't wanna live like that. I like it here. I don't wanna be Shila. I like being Michael Scott."

This might be more of a underrated episode, but it's the one when Michael comes back to work after his trip to Jamaica and he tries to send Packer an email with the picture of him (Michael) and Jan, instead he sends it to packing and while he is on the phone with Packer, Packer is telling him he didn't get the email then a several seconds later he informs Michael that he has it, but it wasn't from him. All the people in packaging had forwarded the email to everyone.

Jan comes to the office to talk with Michael and he assumes she wanted to talk about the email, but then when they get into his office he realizes she didn't know it was sent out...

Yeah that episode left no mark on Office fans. Nope. Only one of the best episodes the show put out.

You suck

I loved the scene where Michael is giving a presentation and everyone is watching and reacting to the logo bouncing around the screen and ignoring Michael.

Also loved that smellls line up dog in here joke that Jim played on Michael. Michael tries several times to pull it off, but can't. Finally gets someone to say "what's up dog" then Michael blows the punchline.

I swear I was coming to post this...what's also good about that scene is Dwight is so happy Michael is asking how he's doing before he storms off back to his office

I recently watched these auditions for The Office. They guy who plays Kevin uses his regular voice in the audition. It's pretty weird.
