Michael Scott: World's Best Boss
Michael Scott is the Regional Manager, and self-proclaimed World's Best Boss, at the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of Dunder-Mifflin on "The Office." Although Michael prides himself on being an "everybody's friend" kind of boss, his lack of tact and inept managerial skills create many uncomfortable (and hilarious) moments in the office.

Michael Scott moments
You can get a sense of the essence of Michael Scott from these funny clips.
Michael Scott's inappropriate comments
The thing that makes Michael Scott so funny is that he is usually not trying to be mean (unless he's talking to Toby) or offensive. He thinks he's a wise boss, trying to teach, motivate, and entertain his employees. Instead, his ignorance, desire to be popular, and enthusiasm, combine to produce some outstandingly inappropriate comments!
For example...
Michael: [after the role-playing exercise] Man, I should've gotten some food.
Kevin: [still role-playing as an Italian] Maybe some spaghetti.
Michael: Okay, Kevin, you can take off that thing. That would really, really show him up, wouldn't it? If I brought in some burritos or some "colored greens" or some pad thai. I love pad thai.
Stanley: It's "collard greens."
Michael: What?
Stanley: It's "collard greens."
Michael: No, that doesn't really make any sense. Because you don't call them "collared" people. That's offensive.
--
Oscar: [of Mexican descent] I can play [basketball] if you need any help.
Michael: I will use your talents come baseball season, my friend. Or if we box.
--
Michael: [at the Dundie awards] This year's "Busiest Beaver" award goes to Phyllis Lapin!
Phyllis: This says "Bushiest Beaver."
Michael: I told them "Busiest"...idiots.

Yes, I was the first one out. And yes, I've heard "women and children first". But, we do not employ children. We are not a sweatshop, thankfully. And women are equal in the workplace by law. So if I let them out first, I have a lawsuit on my hands.

Would I rather be feared or loved? Umm...easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

Actually, they just don't get a lot of work done when I'm not here... That's not true. I know how to delegate. And they do more work when I'm not here... Not more... the same amount of work is done whether I am here or not.

Pam, I have ideas on a daily basis. I know I do. I have a clear memory of telling people my ideas. Um, is there any chance that you wrote any of my ideas down? Like in a folder? A little idea folder?

Michael Scott does diversity training
This is one of the funniest Michael Scott episodes. He is so clueless. He thinks he's getting rid of racism one stereotype at a time...

- Dwight Schrute
- Dwight Schrute is a very important part of The Office, as Assistant (to the) Regional Manager. If you haven't seen The Office yet, make room on your Tivo! It's a sharply funny, sometimes uncomfortably politically incorrect, pseudo-documentary style sitcom. You'll have to watch it to see what I mean.
- Jim Halpert
- Jim Halpert is a lovable, slightly goofy nice guy, who enjoys pulling a good prank on office-mate Dwight Schrute. From his cute puppy dog eyes, to his quietly desperate love for Pam the receptionist, to his good-natured practical jokes...
