re: The most underrated moment from The Office

quote:

---

Michael starts his Power Point presentation for Ryan and has to update his computer.

"Ok, estimated time, 12 minutes. So, this will take about 5 or 10 minutes."

---

the best part is that the update is to install or run PowerPoint for the first time on the computer. The quote you called out is funny, but the best part of the scene is that he is supposed to show the office how to use PowerPoint when he has never actually opened the software up prior to that meeting.

Episode where Jan and Michael host dinner:

Michael sleeping on bench at the end of the bed.
His plasma TV
The song from Jan's old assistant.
Dwight showing up with his old babysitter as a date.
Video camera still set up in the bedroom.
Candle room and and office for Jan.

So many uncomfortable moments in that episode.

Just saw this one last night:

On the Season 5 episode where Michael has to decide what to spend the surplus on - chairs or copiers - everyone has solitaire up on their computer, except Dwight.

If you pay attention to that more often, it happens almost every time Creed, Meredith or Ryan's computer screen is shown. I find it hilarious too.

Another from Season 5 - the episode where Andy finds out about Dwight and Angela - Dwight challenges Andy to a dual. Meredith comments that she has had two guys fighting over her: to see which one gets to hold the camcorder.

I have to admit, I am watching the series now, for the first time. Started about 3 months ago and obviously I'm on Season 5. Better late than never.

Considering that is possibly the most iconic episode of the entire series, I'm not sure anything from that episode qualifies as underrated

Yep LOL. There have been entire threads on this board dedicated to that episode.

Meant to post this when I caught it last week.

After Jim shared his Pam crush with Michael on Booze Cruise, the next episode Michael is obsessed with being on “the inside” of a secret he’ll quickly, predictably blow.

Cut to awkward vending machine scene with Jim.

Stanley walks in and patiently chooses a drink, forcing Scott into mindless code talk.



Michael: “You see the game last night?”

Jim: “Which one?”

Michael: “I don’t know, any of them.”

...more great-stupid Scott lines. Jim leaves and Michael (now furious with Stanley) slaps a drink button for him.

“Peach Ice Tea, you’re going to hate it.”

In The Fight, after he beats Dwight up in his dojo, Michael feels bad, so he tells Dwight it was all a test, and that his is promoted.

Dwight looks around the conference room and says, "Wow, I guess this will be my office."

Then before leaving, Dwight stands, clasps his hands, and bows, saying, "Thank you, Sensei. "

Michael's response:

I loved that. Cracks me up every time I see it.

This morning I was watching on the treadmill and watched "The Deposition". I literally had to slow down to a walk because I was laughing so hard. Sorry, this is kind of long, but I was damn near in tears. It's when they are first asking Michael about his relationship with Jan.

Lester: How long have you known the plaintiff?
Michael: I haven't actually seen it. But I have seen the firm, and I am planning on renting The Pelican Brief
Lester: How long have you known Ms. Levinson?
Michael: Six years and two months. 
Lester: And you were directly under her the entire time?
Michael: That's what she said.
Lester: Excuse me?
Michael: That's what she said.
Lester: Ms. Levinson told you she was your direct superior?
Michael: Uh, wh-why would she say that?
Jan: Can we just move on to another question?
Diane: No wait, I don't understand. Who's on record on saying this? 
Lester: With all due respect, I'm in the middle of a line of questioning. Now Mr. Scott, what did you say Ms. Levinson said? Regarding your employment status with respect to her corporate position.
Michael: Come again? That's what she said? I don't know what you're talking about.
Jan: Okay, if I may, he was just telling a joke before, so can we move on to another question?
Lester: Oh, are you sure? 
Jan: Uh, yes.
Lester: Can you go back to where this digression began? 
Deposition Reporter: [reading off paper] Mr. Schneider: And you were directly under her the entire time? Mr. Scott: That's what she said. 
Michael: Well, delivery is all wrong. She's butchering it. 

When the deposition reporter says that is when I lose it and then Michael critiquing her "performance".
