Michael is actually a genius salesman. You get to see brief flashes throughout the series on how good he actually is, and he had to become regional manager somehow right?
Yup it makes more sense, compared to Ricky Gervais character in the UK version who was shown to be routinely incompetent yet still somehow was in charge.
Definitely! That scene should be the star of a video about *Michael, himself* having "Hidden Genius". The opening could be when Jan said "A lot of people underestimate Michael. He is good at many things!"

as a native french speaker, the best part is, his french pronunciation is absolutely horrendous. Like, I have to actively concentrate to try and understand what he actually says. I'm pretty sure it's just a not necessarily intentional consequence of the actor not actually speaking french in the first place, but it just deliciously adds on the pretentiousness of it all.
Really enjoy the scene where Michael shows his skills in sales and people. He says everything so casually yet serious and even undermines Jan, refusing to let her speak. The writing for this sitcom is genuinely unmatched.
big facts. one of my favourite scenes. not only is the writing excellent, but so is the acting. Jan's face lighting up when she realises the spiel- and the way Micheal kinda muscles over her in the convo. Brilliant stuff.
@@sidvyas8549 mine too. It was a huge character development and arc as they butchered him Season 1 (most) and showed his qualifications at scenes like that. It’s a similar feel to where himself and Jim sat down in the conference room eating cake and he said he acts the way he does ‘lighten the tension/mood’. He might be a man child but he’s a very good boss. Would love to talk to the writers cause I think it would be interesting if they wrote him with the possibility of him being on the spectrum.

Well, we do see him being a super skilled salesman a fair amount of times but being smart? Not really. You can be an incredibly skilled idiot, which is obviously the case here (the show never tries to hide it).
Accidentally knowledgeable in one specific situation mostly because he was unable to read the children’s book. If that’s your definition of smart, then my good sir you are a genius.
It's also satisfying seeing him be kind, like encouraging Jim or going to Pam's art show. Same goes for Dwight. It's always very rewarding seeing a character with negative traits suddenly have positive behavior.

Well put my friend, I've just watched his short scene at 4:30, he plays it so perfectly I find it so damn impressive. Another scene is where he acts like Jim got him with the "It smells like updog", he's one of my favorites actor ever.
9:24 I LOVE THAT MOMENT Jan goes to speak up and Michael quickly signals her not to, just goes on to show how well he knows to pitch, when, how and whom to pitch it with. He calls Jan in later at the end when he knows he's got the client. REGIONAL MANAGER FOR A REASON.
Those types are my favorite moments in the show! Few and far between, but their rarity is what makes them such treasured moments and really adds to the genuity of the character interactions.
He's like Kevin. When it comes to calculating how quickly they can make it to donuts, suddenly Kevin is Rain Man. Generally, Michael is completely blind to social cues, lacks any self awareness, and has no understanding of the dynamic of the social situation. But when it comes to selling paper, his social awareness shoots through the roof.
He knew that the client was about to speak and sometimes in sales you just need to shut up and get out of the way. Client is about to close himself Jan, dont ruin it!. Its great.

Yep. Because just like in every other industry and company out there, Dunder-Mifflin assumed that being talented and skilled at one job means you'll be just as talented and skilled at the next position up even though it requires a completely different skillset.
@@AbdallahTeach he was a great salesman, people's manager, people although didn't like him when he hurt them because of his ignorance, but everyone knew that he didn't mean bad from the inside, he's a good human, not always a disciplinarian, hence not many people think that he's actually a good manager, but indeed he is!
Man I was hoping the scene with Michael & David Wallace was in here. "I'll see your situation and I'll raise you a situation. Your company is losing clients left and right. You have a stockholder meeting coming up, and you're going to have to explain why your most profitable branch is bleeding. So they may be looking for a little change in the CFO, so I don't think I need to wait out Dunder Mifflin, I think I just have to wait out you."
Also the scene where David was administering Dwight's punishment cause of Stanley's heart attack then Michael straight up took charge of the whole ordeal. He even started it with the line "the city..."
Yeah honestly. The sales pitch with Jan was the top one, but that dunk on David Wallace was easily the second best. I don't know how that got left out and Michael regurgitating something he read in a magazine made it in.
And it was her totally realizing what Michael is capable of. I don't blame her for not wanting to be with him later on but still even if Michael has a lot of flaws that just makes his skills and abilities shine brighter.
That smile at the end made her face shine indeed. Never seen her that way, specially as the seasons passed by and the downward spiral went on. Feels good to put a comment I was about to make at 666 likes btw
Jan is a terrible salesman. Michael was trying to befriend the guy before trying to make his sales pitch. Jan was trying to spend the whole dinner talking business. Michael waited for the right moment to make his pitch.
That look on Jan's face when she realizes Michael just got the County School District contract. It's a huge deal for Dunder Mifflin. And he nailed it because he was friendly and he related to them. Scranton is his home. And it's said several times throughout the show that Michael is the best salesman in the Scranton branch. Even better than Dwight. She's just so happy that after all that he nailed it. She realized he knew what he was doing. He can be childish but he knows selling paper. He's passionate about it. It's a shame they made her character nuts and ruined her. She was a good foil for Michael.
Yes exactly! It’s also like when Michael landed hammerton mills in the convention when Jan said they are exclusive with staples. He made friends with the guy first made a connection then sales
Agreed. Early Jan was so good and honestly had they went a different direction with her, I would have much preferred Michael being with her than Holly(who was essentially just a female Michael Scott in many ways.)
@TheeDeputy Hell no, I don't agree with that at all. Jan and Michael were ALWAYS wholly incompatible. Even in the early seasons, when Jan was a relatable and grounded character, you couldn't actually see them leading a fulfilling life together. She was a business-minded careerist while Michael was a rambling goofball. And, frankly, she was way too smart and beautiful for him, too. Michael and Holly were a perfect match precisely because they were so similar.
You just made me realize that Phyllis is funny because she says these really intense things, but in such a calm, nonchalant tone of voice. 💡 Remember during the dual? - "What's going on? Did I miss anything?" - "Andy is running over Dwight with his car. "
The “Tuna” gag from Andy will forever be the greatest. Even better than that’s what she said. The fact that they left the tuna gag in for the entire series is so amazing. It’s so normal throughout the series that most repeat watchers don’t even stop to realize Andy rarely calls him by his real name. They just accept the tuna without thinking about it.
Ayesha Tabassum There’s a couple of scenes like this throughout the series which show that despite being a goofball, Michael is actually a really good salesman.
This show will be archived in the Library of Congress. When mankind no longer exists and aliens arrive at our planet they will find this show in the archives and know what it meant to be human.
Everything that shows Kevin is a genius: He can do crazy math(when it involves desserts) He knows how to cheat money out of people(when he stole money from Darrell and Andy playing Dallas) He can start his own bar Kevin’s a poker master Kevin figured out pam and jim were dating Kevin won in trivia Fluke is another name for “fake,” and Kevin is “fake” dumb, so his comment about fluke says a lot And more
He didn't start his own bar. He got to be a partner in an existing bar that he was a patron of, and since everyone was buying him drinks since he lost his job at the office (and the documentary came out, celebrizing him). So to keep up with the demand, they just offered him shares, since he couldn't drink that much lol... this was revealed in cut footage that the office youtube channel released
@@jameyguylmao9189 Yeah first it was blm then it was hispanic lives matter and now it's stop asian hate. It's sure starting to sound like all lives matter.
I like how Kevin is so like, "I am gonna bust this case so wide open" with Jim and Pam. Kevin is such a genuine friend. Even after so many long years, this scene has got to be one of my favorites.
The way Kevin looks at the camera, to say: "Marion Cotillard exposes herself a number of times in that film.", is like he is saying "I know this thing."
You didn't add that one scene where Stanley was thinking about transferring to the Utica Branch bc he wanted more money. And ultimately decided to stay bc he never really planned on leaving and assumed Michael called his bluff. And then, he stated something like this, "How did Michael know? Is he some sort of *secret genius?* Sometimes, I say the craziest things lol."
I love how much better Pam looked when she started seeing Jim, they made her character glow, she just looks so genuinely happy because she’s with the right person
@@sarautente3515 In the Q and A section of the last episode, when asked if there was anything that they had left out, she says that she was taking a PhD for the first few years of the filming.
Is anyone going to point out that Michael hiring Kevin proves he is one of then smartest people in the office. Remember when Michael says kevin applied to be in the warehouse but then Michael hired him as an accountant so then this decision is only proved right when Kevin does the maths really well during the pie scene
Seeing Jan's slow smile towards Michael when she realizes his sales genius is one of the most wholesome and satisfying moments of the show. Sucks that Jan and Michael ended up falling apart
The last clip really shows Michaels genius. Sure he isn’t socially smart but when it comes to making a sale, Michael utilizes human contact to secure the sale. He shows that Dunder Mifflin really is a people persons business. Him spending all night with the guy creates that connection he wouldn’t have with the big name companies. Therefore, the customer knows he can trust and rely on Duner Mifflin. This is a great sales lesson to begin with and watching Michaels best sales clips can really teach you some cool and productive ways to make a sale.
I disagree.... Well, sort of. I think they should have put in more scenes with Michael being good at sales. For example, remember "Pretzel Day" when Jan told Michael to keep an _hourly_ log of everything Michael did? She missed out on a lot of times Michael was talking to people on the phone because his phone convos. were not very long, nor seemed immediately productive.
I noticed that, too. Pam showed as much surprise as everyone else & it couldn't be because she didn't know. So, she must have been surprised because she'd wanted to "go public" with their relationship, but to thought they couldn't, until that point. Very good communicating so much about Pam with some minor actions, by Fisher! ⭐⭐⭐
The chilis scene is still one of my favorite scenes from this show. Jan’s realization that Michael actually knew what he was doing the entire time is golden.
What's also amazing, is that she realizes what's going on.... And listens to him... Maybe one of her best moments... Except when she consoles him on the train after filing...er.... Screaming "Bankruptcy".
I thought the actress (4got her name) was way too over acting at the beginning of the scene. 😝 But, she did a great job of portraying Jan recovering! ⭐
It’s easy to forget how smart Michale really is because of his personality but he’s a great salesman and was put into the manager position for a reason. Also an underrated Michael moment was when he met with David Wallace about his company and got their jobs back
Kevin spitting one hell of a quote here "A fluke is one of the most common fish in the sea. So if you go fishing for a fluke, chances are, you just might catch one."

Well it already is in terms of PPP.
4:33 Oscar is salty and looks back at Michael because of his remark damn the details are so on pointt
How’d you even catch that? They put a lot of thought into this show the details are almost strikingly similar to black mirror
Oh my God i didn’t see that😂
I like how Michael basically tells Jan to be quiet when building his sales pitch - exactly the comeuppance her character deserves.
Yeah he knows when to be serious, since earlier he said that he needs a code word or tone to stop someone.
3:25 "yeah Dwight's right we should drop the bomb"
I've seen this scene multiple times and I still never expect Phyllis to say that
You just made me realize that Phyllis is funny because she says these really intense things, but in such a calm, nonchalant tone of voice. 💡
Remember during the dual?
- "What's going on? Did I miss anything?"
- "Andy is running over Dwight with his car. "

The “Tuna” gag from Andy will forever be the greatest. Even better than that’s what she said. The fact that they left the tuna gag in for the entire series is so amazing. It’s so normal throughout the series that most repeat watchers don’t even stop to realize Andy rarely calls him by his real name. They just accept the tuna without thinking about it.
Why wasn’t Kevin’s pie intelligence in there
Exactlyy
He ate it
What about mini cupcakes? Where does it end?
and his poker skills
That's why I clicked on the video
When he said by 2020 i felt so futuristic
Wijkagent Henk-Jan watching back to the future 2 might change your mind 😂
I remember when you said by 2010 it felt like you were talking about 2030. And 5hat was decade ago.
9:10 This was when I realized Michael was actually kinda serious about his job
So did she
Ayesha Tabassum There’s a couple of scenes like this throughout the series which show that despite being a goofball, Michael is actually a really good salesman.
We got a little taste of the big short
He is the best salesman
Micheal has always been smart about everything, yes hes a little crazy but he has it under control haha #REGIONALMANAGERFORAREASON.
Always seeing underdogs winning is satisfying and Kevin having his day is delight to watch
8:20 Creed nodding in the background lol
omg I haven't noticed that, lol
I was about to point that out but I decided to scroll through comments to see who said it first haha
69th like 🙂🙃
When did Creed even get there-
This show will be archived in the Library of Congress. When mankind no longer exists and aliens arrive at our planet they will find this show in the archives and know what it meant to be human.
Everything that shows Kevin is a genius:
He can do crazy math(when it involves desserts)
He knows how to cheat money out of people(when he stole money from Darrell and Andy playing Dallas)
He can start his own bar
Kevin’s a poker master
Kevin figured out pam and jim were dating
Kevin won in trivia
Fluke is another name for “fake,” and Kevin is “fake” dumb, so his comment about fluke says a lot
And more
He won the trivia and gave the piece of "trivia" about the fluke, showing he really had the skills to do it.
Kevin mvp
@Anon watch the show, because it's on one of the episode.
Not what fluke means mate.
He didn't start his own bar. He got to be a partner in an existing bar that he was a patron of, and since everyone was buying him drinks since he lost his job at the office (and the documentary came out, celebrizing him). So to keep up with the demand, they just offered him shares, since he couldn't drink that much lol... this was revealed in cut footage that the office youtube channel released
‘Did my part babe I’m just the bell girl’ 😂
I loved that😂
Scanning the comments looking for this!
"Hey Princess ding dong"😂

The Oscar and Kevin duo is so underrated
Meredith knowing the answer was dyslexia; we now know she was getting her doctorate in school psychology. 🤣
Wow. I thought It was be cause her son. Nice one
Lol nah
Smart Comunicaciones ca yeah you’re right, one episode she was like tell my why my kid is 18 and still can’t read. Or smth like that
Smart Comunicaciones ca same I thought it was because the doctor told her that her son had dyslexia t
@Michael R she chose to, saying, "Good timers, follow me." She just wanted to have fun, or she knew they would win.
"We don't wanna work! No, we don't!" Something about the way he says that always has me dying of laughter
lmfao as if they replied “yes you do” so funny
@@deanmoriarty6015 best part is when he goes "These people are my friends and I care about them!" lol
Dwight: “by 2020”

I like how Kevin is so like, "I am gonna bust this case so wide open" with Jim and Pam. Kevin is such a genuine friend. Even after so many long years, this scene has got to be one of my favorites.
Pam: “Are you ok what’s wrong?”
Michael: “Everything is made in China Pam.”
"Yeah, it's where they make things." -Andy
@@granth9794 "Oh, no." -Erin
"Anybody read the news any more?" - Michael
Ahmad Syazwan moms spaghetti
“China is on the move” - Dwight
The way Kevin looks at the camera, to say: "Marion Cotillard exposes herself a number of times in that film.", is like he is saying "I know this thing."
and Creed behind is like "yep that is correct"
8:20
If Keven were a weeb, he'd be one of those guys who could provide the ''sause'' for any hentai image.
You didn't add that one scene where Stanley was thinking about transferring to the Utica Branch bc he wanted more money. And ultimately decided to stay bc he never really planned on leaving and assumed Michael called his bluff.
And then, he stated something like this, "How did Michael know? Is he some sort of *secret genius?* Sometimes, I say the craziest things lol."
Peter Griffin: Ah! AH! he said it! he said it!
Wouldn't of worked
I doubt that Stanley said "lol"
lmaoo solid reference my guy
Abbey Bevans he likely didn’t laugh but he meant laugh, not actually saying lol
I love how much better Pam looked when she started seeing Jim, they made her character glow, she just looks so genuinely happy because she’s with the right person
7:14 You have got to remember that Meredith is taking a PhD in child psychology, and so it makes sense that she knows the answer to this.
I feel like Meredith would read a lot of parenting magazines in order to get the best way to discipline her son.
She is? In which episode is this said?
@@sarautente3515 In the Q and A section of the last episode, when asked if there was anything that they had left out, she says that she was taking a PhD for the first few years of the filming.
I had assumed she had known about it as a reference to say her kid has dyslexia. Like how Kevin knows the analog scale capacity as a fat joke
@@2102082 and kevin remembered a movie on the reason bein that a women "exposed" her self a number of times.

Is anyone going to point out that Michael hiring Kevin proves he is one of then smartest people in the office. Remember when Michael says kevin applied to be in the warehouse but then Michael hired him as an accountant so then this decision is only proved right when Kevin does the maths really well during the pie scene
Remember when Stanley specifically said “is michael a secret genius or something” when michael called his bluff about movie to utica
"Hehehe I say crazy things sometimes." -Stan the Man
no one cares about stanley

This is my favorite show of all time. 💙💚💛💜
Seeing Jan's slow smile towards Michael when she realizes his sales genius is one of the most wholesome and satisfying moments of the show. Sucks that Jan and Michael ended up falling apart
The last clip really shows Michaels genius. Sure he isn’t socially smart but when it comes to making a sale, Michael utilizes human contact to secure the sale. He shows that Dunder Mifflin really is a people persons business. Him spending all night with the guy creates that connection he wouldn’t have with the big name companies. Therefore, the customer knows he can trust and rely on Duner Mifflin. This is a great sales lesson to begin with and watching Michaels best sales clips can really teach you some cool and productive ways to make a sale.
I disagree.... Well, sort of.
I think they should have put in more scenes with Michael being good at sales.
For example, remember "Pretzel Day" when Jan told Michael to keep an _hourly_ log of everything Michael did?
She missed out on a lot of times Michael was talking to people on the phone because his phone convos. were not very long, nor seemed immediately productive.
I can’t believe how right Michael was about China.
Well he did say he read it and then he read it again.
And how right dwight predicted it in 2020
@Chick Magnet Joe educate urself
@Chick Magnet Joe China is about to overtake America and become the largest economy in the world.
@@NavidIsANoob That was pre-covid.
I love how Andy is brought down to his level when Kevin outsmarts him.
I love Pam's reaction when Jim revealed they were together. He wasn't ashamed of it
"By 2020 China'll be the world's top largest economy AND they'll get a taste a protein"
Well, a year early but Dwight was pretty spot on
But America still overshadows them and while our GDP growth rate is rising theirs is beginning to stagnate...
@@AndrewJ9673 'Merica!!!
Dabacon BossBro China’s growth rate is ~6.5%, we’re lucky to hit 3%.

@@AndrewJ9673 You'd be surprised lmao
Phyllis: “You guys are together?”
Jim: “Uuuuhm yep.”
Pam: 😮 2:13
I noticed that, too. Pam showed as much surprise as everyone else & it couldn't be because she didn't know.
So, she must have been surprised because she'd wanted to "go public" with their relationship, but to thought they couldn't, until that point.
Very good communicating so much about Pam with some minor actions, by Fisher!
⭐⭐⭐
@@TheNoiseySpectator Did.... Did you just RATE their relationship??
@@larareid2276 No, 3 gold stars for Fischer's acting.
✔️
Pam: 👁️👄👁️
Andy: TUNA!
That smile at the end + Michael's amazing ability with business just made it perfect. Idk why, i just loved it
The chilis scene is still one of my favorite scenes from this show. Jan’s realization that Michael actually knew what he was doing the entire time is golden.
9:20 What I love is how cool and chill Michael is when he shushes Jan as he's sealing the deal.
What's also amazing, is that she realizes what's going on.... And listens to him... Maybe one of her best moments... Except when she consoles him on the train after filing...er.... Screaming "Bankruptcy".
8:17 love the subtle nod from Creed in the background as Kevin talks about Marion Cotillard

Marry a woman that looks at you exactly how Jan looks at Michael closing the deal.
PMantis013 and before closing the deal .. lol
I thought the actress (4got her name) was way too over acting at the beginning of the scene. 😝
But, she did a great job of portraying Jan recovering! ⭐
The Noisy Spectator
Her name is Melora Hardin I know I forget that too lol
It’s easy to forget how smart Michale really is because of his personality but he’s a great salesman and was put into the manager position for a reason. Also an underrated Michael moment was when he met with David Wallace about his company and got their jobs back
Michael is like Master Jiraiya . He acts and talks like a fool sometime but you know he is one of the smartest character in the show
I love this reference 😭 I miss Master Jiraya Sm
Michael would definitely vibe with Pervy Sage
Except michael is a genuine idiot. And jiraiya isnt an idiot hes just a pervert
No, the guy is a complete idiot. Basic business intuition and a big mouth don't make one smart.
The best one is when Michael forced corporate to buy out his own company
Jan has the most beautiful smile Ever in this last scene... 😍
Meredith straight telling the guy he was wrong at 7:14 is amazing
8:23 Creed nodding in the background kills me
