I love that throughout the entire show Michael takes every opportunity he has to call for attention, and when he's leaving, when he could have made a big deal and a huge dramatic exit, he tries to go out without anyone even knowing
Because he's a changed man. He's accepted, he's loved, he's happy. That's all he even wanted and needed. Even when he was dating that married woman, michael was so happy he wasn't at all interested when Pam said he wanted to talk to Michael about her and Jim's sexnlife problems, and that was with someone who's not even close to being a perfect match as holly. Holly accepted him for everything that he was, especially the often cringy jokes, and even likes them and do them herself.
You know Holly completed him the moment he didn't need attention. Attention seekers tend to have a void inside their heart and I know that because I was one too. Holly was one of those who completed him, making Michael's character grow exponentially.
My very favorite thing about this episode is that in his sadness Micheal almost decides to stay, then Holly calls..and talking to Holly for a minute reminds Michael not what he is losing but what he is gaining moving to Colorado with Holly. He will miss his friends but she is his family now... The one time Micheal need to be wise and brave, and he followed through beautifully.
For me it was the end of the series when he talks about what he does at this company and how everything he has, he owes to this company... it made me realize even tho throughout the show he said he has no future at this company, all along he started one 3 feet away from him and made him and Dwight grow to the way they became at the end
Creeds line "see you tomorrow boss" really gets me. Something about creeds day to day life may seem boring to many, but he chooses to be at the office.
This also got to me! I love Creed but the way it was innocent, like any other day, it just got to me how lovely the relationships were with all the weirdos there :,(
If someone were to just watch this clip by itself, they would not understand the emotional complexity of this scene. The buildup to this happening was so tremendous and intensifies this scene even more.
I cried on this episode. The paintball fight and the letter for Dwight, the talk with Jim, the unheard convo with Pam; man this episode really hits hard. What added more was when Creed was raising his mug with the sign “WORLD’S BEST BOSS” then said, “See you tomorrow, boss.” never knew he’s not coming back.
After Creed says that, Michael stops at the entrance, scans the room, and his eyes settle on good-ol'-Jim. Jim gives Michael the knowing head-turn to "get outta here" and Michael tears up again with a gentle head-nod. VERY touching. I cry every time.
Fun fact: The tears are real, both actors started to uncontrollably weep when they recorded this scene, in fact it took them 17 takes. You can even see that their eyes are already red and teary at the start of the scene. Edit: to all the smartasses in the comments, its real look it up.
Having Dwight slowly get silent realizing 1, that he wasn't going to make it through it, and 2, that it was very personal was such an excellent choice. Sort of like not revealing the tea cup letter. It's small things that add up to make these characters feel so much like real people.
"Best Boss I ever had..." Hands down, the best line of this scene. The way John Krasinski delivers it as well as Steve Carell's reaction was beautiful.
The empathy Jim shows for Michael here is beyond belief. He is so intuitive about how devastated Michael is about leaving the only place where he ever really had any "friends"
I'll never understand how Steve Carell never won an Emmy for his work on The Office. I'm not sure there's a better lead comedy actor over the last 30 years of television.
Like any best friend Jim realized Michael's plan and went along with it and told him that it isn't goodbye forever because there'd always be tomorrow at lunch
@Masster Gunnz Even with bosses I didn’t like at work I was sad to see them leave (even emotional) just because there’s that familiarity there and comfort that comes with it. So Jim’s character really could be sad. Michael could be annoying, but also funny and supplied a ton of great stories to relay about his antics. Lots of years spent together even if it wasn’t enjoyable the entire time. Jim is smooth for sure though haha
@Masster Gunnz ok but Michael’s the reason Jim and Pam exist as a couple in the first place. Jim knows that. And as the show came to Michael Scott’s final episode, he had done severe character development because of holly. Jim and Pam still loved Michael like family
i actually cried when pam asked michael if she should get his favorite ice cream cake and michael just answered "what's your favorite, pam?" like it really is a goodbye
The other emotional moment that no one mentions is when Michael is eating lunch in the break room, Jim comes in with others and asks Michael to join them but he declines, almost finished anyway. Then you can see the group talking amongst themselves and Michael in the background trying not to cry, knowing he will miss being there.
It's that "everyday" feeling of: This is my job here... I mean something... I have my routine, my friends... everything I depend on. I have had these feelings a lot when I move, or have to leave jobs. Knowing I had my routine, my time spent with things I enjoyed doing.
This entire episode is fantastic. Carell should've won the Emmy for this. John Krasinski I feel should've gotten an Emmy or a nomination at the very least for this episode. Both actors did a fantasy job on this show and this episode particular.
I will always remember this moment. I never cry in front of movies or TV shows. I was binge-watching The Office, and it was something like 2 a.m. I watched this episode and I just cried, but I was smiling at the sime time. I knew Michael was gonna be happy after all. The very next moment when Creed says "See you tomorrow boss" was heart-breaking too. One of the best episode of the whole show.
Totally agree. Great line. Right behind saying "...what a great boss you turned out to be. Best boss I ever had," it was the best gift he could have given Michael. A final stamp of approval, showing his sadness for the loss, but encouragement in moving forward to start a life with his soulmate.
I can't help but think that Jim said that with so much "I didn't make the wrong decision." behind it because of his own feelings toward Pam and the decisions he made for her and his life with her. 🥰
This is probably the most direct Jim's ever been to Michael lol. Basically any time the two interacted Jim was either being sarcastic or pranking him XD
@@Wasteman365 it was a special bond... like imagine you're in Elementary and your long time friend that went there is going to a different Middle School. Imagine how sad it'd be
For me it was these three too, but also in casino night when he said he's in love with Pam and she doesn't know what to do and you just see him standing there with a tear going down his cheek
This scene is such sweet agony. The fact that Jim figured it out and then prodded Michael to see if he’d come clean is so beautifully done. I know everyone loves Pam and Michael’s goodbye, but for me this was the one that hurt and resonated the most.
@@bakon321 the office was there and while it took a dip due to weak writing in s8 it rebounded beautifully in the next season. All characters that were developing with micheal as the lead were ripe and the show had enough material in it to deliver a fantastic season 9, one of the best.
Man they're such terrific actors, in their mind they're both aware of their last scene together and you can obviously see it in their eyes but they're vocally staying in character and not stuttering or simply breaking down in tears, great, subtle scene
When Michael takes off his lav mic at the airport and Pam sees/chases him down, we can no longer hear anything going on, but we see them speak and embrace and it’s so real… just like when no one came to her art show and he showed up at the end and made her feel validated without even knowing how. The Office (US) began as a show with uncomfortable, cringey humor, but it has endured for years after it ended bc everyone who worked on that show from the writer’s room to the crew to the onscreen talent knew exactly how to capture emotional resonance.
Gosh, I love the Office. This is one of the moments I cried. I never cry, especially not at TV shows, but fuck. I cried many times in the Office. Best series I have ever watched.
As moving as this scene is... I feel like Michael Scott’s quote “T-shirt idea: goodbyes stink” is criminally under-appreciated. It kills me every time 🤣
Never in his wildest dreams Jim would have thought of being sad on Michael leaving. Ironically the tears he shed that day were not even fictional. That's what makes this moment so special imo.
Krasinski said in a pod cast that there were around 17 takes of pure, dribbling crying before they actually made the final cut. That fact alone makes this scene so much more heartwrenching. Great scene, great actors, great show.
Before I started this episode, I was aware of the fact that the next 20-30 minutes are going to be really important and that it will stick with me throughout my life. The development of this character was so incredible that its departure was hard to watch. While he was leaving he said "They say on your deathbed, you never wish you spent more time at the office. But I will" Thankyou Steve for giving us this incredible character
This scene hits hard because it reminds me of all the last times I ever seen someone I cared about but never said goodbye because I never knew it was the last time.
0:47 right here. Where Jim makes a look at the camera like he always does with Michael’s shenanigans, but he isn’t annoyed or making fun of him for once, it’s like he’s saying “I’m gonna miss that”
It hurts so much because this is how I feel about my mom. I sent her texts telling her we would have a party when she left the hospital. But I knew she was never leaving and I think deep down she knew it too. She died in September from covid..and I don't know if I'll ever be okay again. But I like to hope someday I will.
Not surprisingly, this was Steve Carell's hardest episode to film in the show. They really should've renewed the actor's contract for the last 2 seasons.
@@MudmanBlues No there was some sort of miscommunication between Steve and the higher-ups of NBC and his contract never got renewed for season 8. I don't remember all the details, but I highly doubt it was because of Steve wanting to leave.
It was steve wanting to leave. The reason being he wanted to spend some time away with his wife and daughter and the shooting schedules was coming in the way.
@@steli89 He also stated NBC made no real attempt to keep him. He asked to do another 2 years, the deadline passed for NBC to agree to his contract, and he just assumed they didn't want him.
This signifies the uncertainty of life, and Creed saying "See you tomorrow boss" defines it. You never know when you will see someone you've been seeing for years for the last time. Appreciate every thing you have for *life is nothing but a series of uncertain events*.
Michael Scott was always the boss I tried to emulate, silly but good hearted and cared about his employees. Recently a good friend left my company and he told me teary eyed just how good a boss I turned out to be and that was one of the best moments I'll always hold dear.
Michael is so sweet 😭😞 I’m so glad that they were all happy for him and all were going to miss him and he felt their love for him. it’s all he ever wanted 😭
This scene was so powerful because not only were the characters thanking each other and saying goodbye but John Krasinski thanking Steve Carell for the opportunity of being on the show and his launching his career.... Scene gets me every time 🥹
I love the fact that Micheal was upset because he got a mitten from Phyllis for Christmas (season 2) ig, and now he couldn't leave without those mittens from Phyllis despite the fact they were incomplete. Micheal does redeem himself here, and it is bitter sweet to see Micheal grow and eventually grow out.
This episode made me want to cry really hard. It made me think about some of my goodbies, like the death of relatives, or some friends we never get to see and we never thought we would not see them again for our life changes. Creed saying: see you tomorrow boss" is so ironic and so lifelike. We always say "see you tommorow" but is it really it? We just never know.
Only show that ever made me cry and happened four times: Jim and Pams wedding: asile dance Michael & Hollys proposal This Scene Final scene. Went into a quasi half day depression after that haha
Jim confessing how much he truly cares about Michael is one of the most emotional moments on the show. The other was when Michael showed up to Pam's gallery and told her how proud he was of her.
This episode made me cry more than Titanic, Sometimes in April, and Fried Green Tomatoes all at once. Steve Carell is such an amazing actor. I mean they were all good, but it's only when Michael leaves that you realize it'll never be the same again.
yeah..the only reason they needed season 8 and 9 was to finish the Dwight angela story and they easily could have finished their kindship and not introduced the senator and had their marriage in season 7 and finished the series with michaels goodbye or have dwights marriage the finale right after that episode...then it would be perfect...season 8 was a waste of time....and so was most of season 9....other than the last 2 episodes of course...
Rewatching the last two seasons made me appreciate them more. There were a lot of not-so-great decisions there, but those two seasons still had some great moments.
ly24 🎶 a long long time ago I can still remember how that show used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance I'd bring it back and make people laugh for a while I can't remember if I laugh or cried when Dwight was with jim but something touched me deep inside the day...the office died. So bye bye Pam and Jim and Dwight Drove Daryl's truck to the warehouse boys singing This lll be the day the office dies
Ok dear The Office crew, can you release a behind the scenes special for this episode? I see you cut a big deal out when editing this episode and the stuff you cut out are gold, we gotta see them! Or was it in season 7 dvd?
@Rexy 3521 Steve Carell was the star of the show. The Office without Steve Carell is like Spongebob without Tom Kenny, or Breaking Bad without Aaron Paul. No Jesse = no Breaking Bad. No Steve Carell = No The Office. That’s why The Office sucked without Carell
Jim read it all on his face and gave him the goodbyes he really needed! This scene and Jim comforting Dwight in his moment of sorrow gets me every time!
It's funny how Jim tried very hard not to become friends with Michael, but in the end he was the only one who knew him well enough to find out Michael's plans to leave early, as a friend would.
I rarely cry in movies/series but the last episode with michael destroyed me inside. "See You Tomorrow for Lunch, Michael!" this scene is a tearjerker💔
Maybe I'm very emotional, but I cried for 40 minutes straight after watching this moment. This situation reminds me of how I'm struggling in my life, with no one to talk to and no one with whom I can express my thoughts. Thank you, Michael; after seeing this scenario, I cried my heart out and am now feeling much better.
In the earlier seasons, Jim was a really bad friend to Michael. He and Pam always played with his feelings and used him. But in the end, Jim and almost everyone else realizes how Michael was one of the best things that’s ever happened to them. Michael was annoying af most of the time and always messed around. But what can you expect from a man child who had a terrible childhood and just wants to fit in and have attention. Some of the workers would’ve been fired if anyone else was the boss seeing how some of them acted or the things they did. But they were lucky since Michael views them as friends and not coworkers. I’m glad Jim and Pam and some of the others realized how much they actually liked Michael. Especially how Jim tells Michael he was the best boss he ever had with red and almost teary eyes.
I always loved the running theme that Jim was sort of always in Michaels corner and understood him really well- all through the series the two have a lot of little intimate moments where they talk, like on the booze cruise, when Jim was boss for a day, when Michael rebounded with the waitress, so many little moments like that, they had a very unique, close relationship on the show, and this final scene felt like a homage to Jim always understanding Michael and having a fondness for him, their last little scene like that together. Even in this episode the entire time you can see Jim realizing what Michael is doing, because he gets him, they’ve just always really gotten each other. I feel like no one talks a lot about their relationship, it was so charming and special.
I have always considered myself to be dead inside when it came to movies, shows and games, but somehow The Office managed to break me multiple times and this scene was especially tear-jerking. Fascinating how a comedy show is able to do that.
Not only is impressive how Michael (who for most of the show, especially early on, wanted to have everyone's attention), wanted to leave as quiet as possible but that he mostly kept it a secret, considering how badly he kept secrets in the show (saying them almost 5 seconds after being told about them)
This was great. Jim always genuinely cared for and about Michael and would try his best to help him through his faux pas and other mistakes even after pranking him.
Season 1: "People say I am the best boss."
Season 7: "Best boss I ever had."
🤯
Wow 🥺
"see you tomorrow boss"
Season 8: "BOBODDY!"
@@krazyzyko season 8: 🤢 lol
I love that throughout the entire show Michael takes every opportunity he has to call for attention, and when he's leaving, when he could have made a big deal and a huge dramatic exit, he tries to go out without anyone even knowing
Yupp. It was Steve's idea to show Michael's journey. Started off as a guy who just wanted attention and when he left...he left quietly 😢😢
my thoughts exactly
Because he's a changed man. He's accepted, he's loved, he's happy. That's all he even wanted and needed. Even when he was dating that married woman, michael was so happy he wasn't at all interested when Pam said he wanted to talk to Michael about her and Jim's sexnlife problems, and that was with someone who's not even close to being a perfect match as holly. Holly accepted him for everything that he was, especially the often cringy jokes, and even likes them and do them herself.
Okay. I'm crying.
You know Holly completed him the moment he didn't need attention. Attention seekers tend to have a void inside their heart and I know that because I was one too. Holly was one of those who completed him, making Michael's character grow exponentially.
Jim tried for years to avoid hanging out with Michael, and the day he wants to, he can't.
Ok this fact just made me sadder. Haha
It's fair.
I did not need to read this 😭😭😭😭😭
jim always makes plan for michael when he know Michael couldnt make it. Even until the last moment
😭
My very favorite thing about this episode is that in his sadness Micheal almost decides to stay, then Holly calls..and talking to Holly for a minute reminds Michael not what he is losing but what he is gaining moving to Colorado with Holly. He will miss his friends but she is his family now...
The one time Micheal need to be wise and brave, and he followed through beautifully.
😭😭😭😭
One of my favorite scenes in the entire series
THIS. The moment we knew Michael is a grown man
That's a very powerful scene!
I’m glad Jim reassured him also that he was doing the right thing. Holly was his soulmate ❤️
"Best boss I ever had" - Jim Halpert. One of the most touching lines in the entire series.
For me it was the end of the series when he talks about what he does at this company and how everything he has, he owes to this company... it made me realize even tho throughout the show he said he has no future at this company, all along he started one 3 feet away from him and made him and Dwight grow to the way they became at the end
Don't forget
"Never ever ever Give up"
-Michael Scott when Jim Halpert breakdown because Pam & Roy Wedding -
That’s probably the only boss he had at that time
Had this same line as a younger man when my old store I worked at shut down. Me and my boss definitely felt that sadness.
It's amazing to see their "boss/coworker" relationship evolve into a "friend/friend" relationship over the years.
Michael finally got his wish before he left💖
+Carol Kim It's like all his children grew up...and married each other :)
+cheesesteakphilly Lol well 3 of them did get married so yeah
you mean a "friendship"
lol jk
I think Jim being co-manager really made him sympathize with Michael more. Also helps that Michael matures a lot in Season 7.
Creeds line "see you tomorrow boss" really gets me. Something about creeds day to day life may seem boring to many, but he chooses to be at the office.
Lewis Robinson
I love how Creed always referred to Mike as "boss." This final one was really sad.
This also got to me! I love Creed but the way it was innocent, like any other day, it just got to me how lovely the relationships were with all the weirdos there :,(

When Michael takes off his lav mic at the airport and Pam sees/chases him down, we can no longer hear anything going on, but we see them speak and embrace and it’s so real… just like when no one came to her art show and he showed up at the end and made her feel validated without even knowing how. The Office (US) began as a show with uncomfortable, cringey humor, but it has endured for years after it ended bc everyone who worked on that show from the writer’s room to the crew to the onscreen talent knew exactly how to capture emotional resonance.

You know the actors are good when you start crying without having ever really watched the show
Good to know I’m. It the only one. Though I definitely didn’t cry. (Does tearing up count?)
Have you seen it yet ?
Totally.
Gosh, I love the Office. This is one of the moments I cried. I never cry, especially not at TV shows, but fuck. I cried many times in the Office. Best series I have ever watched.
+Χριστίνα Σπυρίδου I could never agree more... ='[
Literally the exact same I never cry at all and this show had my cry three times
+Χριστίνα Σπυρίδου You're a girl. You are going to cry plenty more times in the future.

If you watch anime, Your lie in April will also make you cry hard.
As moving as this scene is... I feel like Michael Scott’s quote “T-shirt idea: goodbyes stink” is criminally under-appreciated. It kills me every time 🤣
I commented earlier after he does that, Jim gives his signature camera stares by this time he’s trying to hold back tears
Never in his wildest dreams Jim would have thought of being sad on Michael leaving. Ironically the tears he shed that day were not even fictional. That's what makes this moment so special imo.
Really well put ❤️
Krasinski said in a pod cast that there were around 17 takes of pure, dribbling crying before they actually made the final cut. That fact alone makes this scene so much more heartwrenching. Great scene, great actors, great show.
Before I started this episode, I was aware of the fact that the next 20-30 minutes are going to be really important and that it will stick with me throughout my life. The development of this character was so incredible that its departure was hard to watch. While he was leaving he said "They say on your deathbed, you never wish you spent more time at the office. But I will"
Thankyou Steve for giving us this incredible character
THIS IS THE EXACT MOMENT I STARTED SOBBING.
Me too 😢
This scene hits hard because it reminds me of all the last times I ever seen someone I cared about but never said goodbye because I never knew it was the last time.
0:47 right here. Where Jim makes a look at the camera like he always does with Michael’s shenanigans, but he isn’t annoyed or making fun of him for once, it’s like he’s saying “I’m gonna miss that”
“Am I doing the wrong thing?”
Yes. Look what happened to Season 8 and 9.
What happened?
That's because the writers left
8 was alright 9 was terrible
That wasn't his fault though, it was NBC's for not renewing his contract.
I still love season 8 and 9 just as much as i love the previous ones
i never cried in my life like i cried to this scene. it’s like 2 bestfriends wanting to say their goodbye manly but also so sincere
Bro I cried😭
It hurts so much because this is how I feel about my mom. I sent her texts telling her we would have a party when she left the hospital. But I knew she was never leaving and I think deep down she knew it too. She died in September from covid..and I don't know if I'll ever be okay again. But I like to hope someday I will.
Hugs.
Kaytie- she must be in jannah/paradise now! Way better life than this one. Inshallah we will all reunite in jannah ❤
Rest in peace Mom❤
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Not surprisingly, this was Steve Carell's hardest episode to film in the show. They really should've renewed the actor's contract for the last 2 seasons.
wasn't he the one who chose not to renew it? (I know I'm a bit late)
@@MudmanBlues No there was some sort of miscommunication between Steve and the higher-ups of NBC and his contract never got renewed for season 8. I don't remember all the details, but I highly doubt it was because of Steve wanting to leave.
It was steve wanting to leave. The reason being he wanted to spend some time away with his wife and daughter and the shooting schedules was coming in the way.
He wanted to spend time with his family. That’s all.
@@steli89 He also stated NBC made no real attempt to keep him. He asked to do another 2 years, the deadline passed for NBC to agree to his contract, and he just assumed they didn't want him.
its 2023, and I still cry the same way I cried watching it for the first time.
Same and its 2024 lol
@@SYEDSHAZEB46013me too
I watched this episode again recently, and it made me cry.
This signifies the uncertainty of life, and Creed saying "See you tomorrow boss" defines it. You never know when you will see someone you've been seeing for years for the last time. Appreciate every thing you have for *life is nothing but a series of uncertain events*.
I DID NOT NEED THIS
Yes you did, oh! yes you did.
Michael Scott was always the boss I tried to emulate, silly but good hearted and cared about his employees. Recently a good friend left my company and he told me teary eyed just how good a boss I turned out to be and that was one of the best moments I'll always hold dear.
I finished that episode and now I rush to TH-cam to make sure that I am not the only one who cried
No I sobbed
I was expecting some funny scene but I ended up on the feel-train
Still has vacant seats?
Michael is so sweet 😭😞 I’m so glad that they were all happy for him and all were going to miss him and he felt their love for him. it’s all he ever wanted 😭
This scene was so powerful because not only were the characters thanking each other and saying goodbye but John Krasinski thanking Steve Carell for the opportunity of being on the show and his launching his career.... Scene gets me every time 🥹
Mom: "Your eyes are red, have you be doing drugs?"
Me: "eh.. yes"
What started out as a meme for me turned out to be one of the best sitcom i watched in my life. It brought me laughter and tears.
I love the fact that Micheal was upset because he got a mitten from Phyllis for Christmas (season 2) ig, and now he couldn't leave without those mittens from Phyllis despite the fact they were incomplete. Micheal does redeem himself here, and it is bitter sweet to see Micheal grow and eventually grow out.
When ever Jim cries or has that glint in his eye I break down
This scene alone is sadder than the whole FRIENDS finale
And I fking love FRIENDS
Emotions in this scene are real. They couldn't hold their tears
This episode made me want to cry really hard. It made me think about some of my goodbies, like the death of relatives, or some friends we never get to see and we never thought we would not see them again for our life changes.
Creed saying: see you tomorrow boss" is so ironic and so lifelike. We always say "see you tommorow" but is it really it? We just never know.
Only show that ever made me cry and happened four times:
Jim and Pams wedding: asile dance
Michael & Hollys proposal
This Scene
Final scene. Went into a quasi half day depression after that haha
Holly was awful.

What about his tape recorder? He left all of his best ideas on it
Yeah the producer announced they'll shoot a reunion season because michael will come back to take his recorder.
playz REALLY? where did you hear it from???
he's lying, how stupid would that idea sound
Oscar Rivas I heard it from greg daniels's niece. She goes to school with my half brother who limps
Which half?
Top, bottom? Left, right? Front, back?
I remember crying my face out when watching this moment. All that emotions just rushed right back. This show is such a treasure.
I never cried watching a tv show before.....
I connected to Michael on so many levels and watching him leave was the toughest moment
Jim confessing how much he truly cares about Michael is one of the most emotional moments on the show. The other was when Michael showed up to Pam's gallery and told her how proud he was of her.
With the Chunky is his pocket.
This episode made me cry more than Titanic, Sometimes in April, and Fried Green Tomatoes all at once. Steve Carell is such an amazing actor. I mean they were all good, but it's only when Michael leaves that you realize it'll never be the same again.
and this was the day the office ended....
And literally should have.
yeah..the only reason they needed season 8 and 9 was to finish the Dwight angela story and they easily could have finished their kindship and not introduced the senator and had their marriage in season 7 and finished the series with michaels goodbye or have dwights marriage the finale right after that episode...then it would be perfect...season 8 was a waste of time....and so was most of season 9....other than the last 2 episodes of course...
Rewatching the last two seasons made me appreciate them more. There were a lot of not-so-great decisions there, but those two seasons still had some great moments.
ly24 🎶 a long long time ago I can still remember how that show used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance I'd bring it back and make people laugh for a while
I can't remember if I laugh or cried when Dwight was with jim but something touched me deep inside the day...the office died. So bye bye Pam and Jim and Dwight
Drove Daryl's truck to the warehouse boys singing
This lll be the day the office dies
no the rest of the season was okay
but season 8 was when the magic left
Ok dear The Office crew, can you release a behind the scenes special for this episode? I see you cut a big deal out when editing this episode and the stuff you cut out are gold, we gotta see them! Or was it in season 7 dvd?
0:36 notice jim s eyes have tears
the voice crack at 1:03 ......No, I will never forget the producers for this
If you don’t get choked up watching this you’re not human.
In my opinion, the office should have ended at this episode.
@Dead Pool yh
Andy had some hilarious moments
I agree
@Rexy 3521 Micheal was the backbone of the show and if you remove a backbone the show dies
@Rexy 3521 Steve Carell was the star of the show. The Office without Steve Carell is like Spongebob without Tom Kenny, or Breaking Bad without Aaron Paul. No Jesse = no Breaking Bad. No Steve Carell = No The Office. That’s why The Office sucked without Carell
Jim read it all on his face and gave him the goodbyes he really needed! This scene and Jim comforting Dwight in his moment of sorrow gets me every time!
I would have wanted them to cry and hug.
This scene makes tears well up every time I watch it. If Michael Scott isn't the best comedy character in TV history, I don't know who is.
It's funny how Jim tried very hard not to become friends with Michael, but in the end he was the only one who knew him well enough to find out Michael's plans to leave early, as a friend would.
I rarely cry in movies/series but the last episode with michael destroyed me inside.
"See You Tomorrow for Lunch, Michael!" this scene is a tearjerker💔
Its so sad and special that Jim was the only one who clever enough to understand Michael was actually leaving that day.....
Maybe I'm very emotional, but I cried for 40 minutes straight after watching this moment. This situation reminds me of how I'm struggling in my life, with no one to talk to and no one with whom I can express my thoughts. Thank you, Michael; after seeing this scenario, I cried my heart out and am now feeling much better.
In the earlier seasons, Jim was a really bad friend to Michael. He and Pam always played with his feelings and used him. But in the end, Jim and almost everyone else realizes how Michael was one of the best things that’s ever happened to them. Michael was annoying af most of the time and always messed around. But what can you expect from a man child who had a terrible childhood and just wants to fit in and have attention. Some of the workers would’ve been fired if anyone else was the boss seeing how some of them acted or the things they did. But they were lucky since Michael views them as friends and not coworkers. I’m glad Jim and Pam and some of the others realized how much they actually liked Michael. Especially how Jim tells Michael he was the best boss he ever had with red and almost teary eyes.
I love how jim was the only one smart enough to figure out that michael was leaving today
pov: you can’t stop thinking about this, so you searched it up and now you’re sad
Yep👍🏼
I’ve seen this part so many times . Why does this scene still make me cry?
the feel on their faces, it's real.
I always loved the running theme that Jim was sort of always in Michaels corner and understood him really well- all through the series the two have a lot of little intimate moments where they talk, like on the booze cruise, when Jim was boss for a day, when Michael rebounded with the waitress, so many little moments like that, they had a very unique, close relationship on the show, and this final scene felt like a homage to Jim always understanding Michael and having a fondness for him, their last little scene like that together. Even in this episode the entire time you can see Jim realizing what Michael is doing, because he gets him, they’ve just always really gotten each other. I feel like no one talks a lot about their relationship, it was so charming and special.
This show still pulls at the few heartstrings I’ve managed to save.
I have always considered myself to be dead inside when it came to movies, shows and games, but somehow The Office managed to break me multiple times and this scene was especially tear-jerking. Fascinating how a comedy show is able to do that.
Not only is impressive how Michael (who for most of the show, especially early on, wanted to have everyone's attention), wanted to leave as quiet as possible
but that he mostly kept it a secret, considering how badly he kept secrets in the show (saying them almost 5 seconds after being told about them)
I cried along with them watching this for the first time :(( Best boss ever.
such a sweet moment, jim saying that he'll follow michael to his plane
I still cry every time I watch this. This was Steve's final scene, and the tears in both their eyes was genuine.
This was great. Jim always genuinely cared for and about Michael and would try his best to help him through his faux pas and other mistakes even after pranking him.
Both of their acting is on point in this scene. It's just so amazing.
they did not play the role, it was real for them
This scene is so emotional, I cry every time. It's ridiculous. Also Pam's scene with Michael at the airport 👏🏻
Those eyes are red from real tears. The only acting they had to do was say the lines, those emotions are genuine.
I have watched reruns of The Office for years. Having retired this year, this episode really hit me hard when I watched it today again on TV.
