Dinner Party is the pinnacle of Office cringe humor
Wait... never? You deliberately missed the best episode?Scott's Tots is the only episode of the office I have never watched. I just skip it. I don't think I can handle that much secondhand embarassment.
The best episode is The Farm.I remember showing my girlfriend Scott's Tots. Always fun to see how people react. I love the episode lol I don't think it's far fetched as far as it being something that Michael would do.
Michael Scott is generally depicted as a good guy with a big heart who lacks common sense. But there are three episodes of this show that I think betray his character in such a way that he crosses the line from good natured idiot to blatantly inconsiderate or downright mean. He routinely does idiotic shit, but I think these count among his very worst offenses.
There is no consistent character across the show.
That means he's not a two-dimensional character. You know people aren't always entirely good or entirely bad, right? I don't understand some people on this forum who refuse to enjoy a character because they did a bad thing once, therefore they are entirely unlikeable.
Are there any in real life?

Scott's Tots is the single most difficult episode of television for me to even contemplate watching. It hurts my soul.
I hated his character. Few villains in fiction have earned my scorn more than Michael Scott.

The dinner party is probably my favorite episode. People hate that one?
The thing that makes Micheal Scott's character work so well even though he's an awful manager is that throughout the series they will remind from time to time that the dude is a top notch salesman, one of the best... which is probably why he got promoted... and that's the problem, he's a great salesman but a horrible leader. This is reflected a lot in the real world, look at Wayne Gretzky, great player, terrible coach. That's what makes Scott so engaging, he's a horrible boss but you understand why he got the job.
They also use Creed the exact right amount... and he is perfect.
This exact is happening to Charlie on Always Sunny. He went from being a borderline mental person to now being a normal guy who seems to be smarter than everyone now.The very last episode of the series, he doesn't even feel like the same character. It's weird.
My biggest complaint with The Office is that there was no continuity in terms of who is writing the characters.
Take for example The Dinner Party and Chair Model episodes. They air back to back, one portrays Michael as a battered domestic partner who has depth, the next one makes him a narcissistic, shallow person who only wants to date someone hot.
I've just started my first rewatch this week and I'm just now realizing how mean-spirited Michael really is. Carell is so damn good in the role that it's easy to forget how big of an asshole the character is.
Nah it's the building up the expectations of children and crushing them.LOL. Serious question, is Scotts Tots hard to watch due to white guilt? This is the first time I'm seeing the "tough to watch" sentiment. I found the episode hilarious.

Surprised so few people mentioned him breaking up with Pam's mom. That shit was cold, petty and selfish as all hell. It's intentional too.
